The 6 Best Roofing Companies in East Bethel, MN (2026)

Most “best roofing company” lists are advertising with a ranking bolted on. This one is built to be checked. Every company below was measured against the same criteria, every figure traces to a named public source, and we show you how to reproduce the whole thing yourself in about twenty minutes.

We publish this as a roofing company ourselves, so read it with that in mind. Advantage Construction appears at the end in its own section, outside the ranking, precisely so we are not grading our own paper. Six companies make up this guide: the five ranked below, each measured against the same criteria, plus Advantage Construction, which we place outside the ranking rather than grade our own work.

Roofing in East Bethel: What Makes It Different

East Bethel is not a typical suburb, and its roofs do not wear like typical suburban roofs. This is large-lot, semi-rural Anoka County: acreage homes, hobby farms, and country-style builds spread across open ground and wooded parcels, many with detached garages, pole barns, and shops that take the same weather as the house.

That geography matters when a storm comes through. East Bethel sits in the north-metro hail corridor, on open terrain where wind arrives with little to slow it down. The National Weather Service has tracked severe hail and wind across this stretch of Anoka County repeatedly in recent seasons, and quarter-sized hail, the point where shingles begin losing granules, is common here. Bigger, wind-driven events are not rare.

A few things follow for homeowners choosing a contractor:

• More roof, more outbuildings. One storm can hit the house, garage, and shop in a single pass, and the outbuildings are what most often get left off a claim. Crews that inspect the whole property matter more here.
• Insurance experience is not optional. East Bethel homeowners file storm claims more often than most, so documenting damage and working with an adjuster are core skills, not bonuses.
• Permits and rural ground. The city permits most roofing and siding work, and soft, low-lying land near the marshes means dumpster and delivery placement need planning, a metro crew might skip.

That is the backdrop for the companies below. We weighted demonstrated Anoka County work heavily, because a roofer who knows East Bethel’s storms, housing, and permits is worth more than a service-area page that happens to list the city.

How This List Was Built

We started from every roofing contractor with a verifiable service history in East Bethel and Anoka County, then applied five gates. A company had to clear all five to be listed.

• Active Minnesota license, verified at the source. Minnesota requires a Residential Building Contractor or Residential Roofer license to roof a home for hire. We confirmed each company’s license number and status directly through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry license lookup, not through a directory that may be repeating stale data. Any company showing a lapsed, canceled, or suspended status on the verification date was excluded, regardless of reputation.
• General liability insurance and workers’ compensation. Confirmed as active. An uninsured crew on your roof is your liability, not theirs.
• A verifiable review record across more than one platform. We required a consistent rating of 4.5 stars or higher, with sufficient volume to be meaningful, from at least two of Google, the BBB, and Facebook. A single perfect review is noise. A four-year pattern across a hundred reviews is a signal.
• Demonstrated East Bethel or Anoka County work, not just a service-area page listing the city among fifty others.
• A written warranty and a written contract are standard practice, consistent with National Roofing Contractors Association guidance that homeowners hire only contractors who put both in writing.

What we deliberately did not weigh: manufacturer certifications alone. A GAF Master Elite or Owens Corning Platinum badge signals training and standing, and we note them, but they are awarded partly on sales volume and cannot substitute for a license, insurance, and a clean review record. Several lists lean on these badges to imply quality that they do not by themselves prove.

At a Glance: East Bethel Roofing Companies Compared

Every company below cleared the same six gates: verified license, active insurance, multi-year Minnesota history, a review record across more than one platform, demonstrated Minneapolis work, and a written contract and warranty. License numbers and review counts change, so verify anything you plan to rely on at the source.

Candidate	MN license #	Location	BBB	Google Review	Services
Advantage Construction	BC660998	East Bethel	A+ since 2013	4.8 / 724	Roofing, siding, windows, gutters, storm damage repair
Three Rivers Contracting	BC760638	Saint Paul Park	A+ since 2019	4.9 / 72	Roofing, storm restoration, solar installation
Ascension Roofing & Siding	BC753558	Isanti County	A+ since 2019	4.9 / 389	Roofing, siding, windows, storm damage repair
Elevation Exteriors	CR806992	Andover	A, since 2025	5.0 / 103	Roofing, siding, windows, gutters, decks
Northface Construction	BC665389	Elk River	A+ since 2015	4.9 / 630	Roofing, storm restoration, siding, gutters, windows
Bold North Exteriors	BC795118	Farmington	A+ since 2018	5.0 / 43	Roofing, storm restoration

The order reflects our weighting of local tenure, review depth, and demonstrated Anoka County work, not review score alone. A 5.0 from 43 reviews is not automatically ahead of a 4.9 from 630, and we weighed volume accordingly. Where two were close, the deeper East Bethel track record won.

#1. Advantage Construction

Advantage Construction is a Minnesota-based full exterior contractor working on roofing, siding, windows, and gutters across the metro, including Minneapolis and its neighborhoods. Founded in 2009, family-owned and owner-operated, working across the Twin Cities metro, greater Minnesota, and western Wisconsin.

Roofing Services Offered

       ✔ Roof replacement and repair for residential and multi-family properties

       ✔ Storm damage restoration: hail and wind damage assessment across the full exterior

       ✔ Siding, windows, and seamless gutters

       ✔ Attic insulation and ventilation work

       ✔ Ice dam removal

       ✔ Insurance claim documentation and adjuster coordination

Additional Details

The same address test we applied to everyone else: our headquarters is at 18750 Buchanan Street NE in East Bethel, in Anoka County, roughly thirty miles north of Minneapolis. It is not a city-limits address. We flagged Sela’s mailing address a few entries above, and it would be dishonest to leave our own unmarked. What we can point to instead is a documented Minneapolis service history, crews working the city regularly, and a dedicated Minneapolis storm damage page rather than a service-area list with fifty cities on it. Ask us the same question you would ask them: recent Minneapolis addresses, on request.

Certifications: Owens Corning Roofing Platinum Preferred, which carries extended warranty coverage; Owens Corning “Top of the House” Certified Installer; and EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm, which is a requirement for work on pre-1978 homes and therefore relevant across most of the Minneapolis housing stock. Per our own criteria, we treat these as supporting evidence, not proof.

Also worth knowing: bilingual project managers are on staff.

What we do specifically after a storm: We inspect your entire exterior, not just the roof, document every affected component for your adjuster, and coordinate the claim without ever touching your deductible. If your roof turns out to be worn rather than storm-damaged, we will tell you that instead of filing. For the city-specific detail, see our Minneapolis storm damage repair page.

Local Authority & Reputation

       ✔ MN license: BC660998 

       ✔ BBB: A+ rating, accredited since 2013

       ✔ Google: 4.8 across roughly 724 reviews

       ✔ Minneapolis presence: East Bethel headquarters serving the full metro, with a documented Minneapolis storm-damage service history rather than a city-limits address

#2. Three Rivers Contracting

Family-run, licensed as a general contractor rather than a roofing-only outfit, which is why the service list above runs past the roof. Their own crews handle the work rather than subcontracting it out.

Roofing Services Offered

• Roof replacement and tear-offs: architectural asphalt shingle systems
• Storm damage restoration with insurance claim documentation and adjuster coordination
• Roof inspections and free written estimates
• Siding: James Hardie fiber cement, LP SmartSide, and steel
• Windows and doors: Andersen and Pella replacement systems
• Solar installation
• Decks and full interior remodeling, including kitchens, basements, and additions

Additional Details

Certifications: GAF Certified, Owens Corning Certified, CertainTeed, James Hardie certified siding installer, Andersen Certified Contractor, Pella certified for replacement windows, and TrexPro, TimberTech, and Azek for decks. That is an unusually wide certification set, and per our criteria, we treat it as supporting evidence rather than proof.

They pull permits: hundreds of permitted residential projects appear in public building-permit records, which is the check that separates a real contractor from a truck with a magnet on the door.

The distance question, answered honestly: Three Rivers is headquartered at 455 Broadway Avenue in Saint Paul Park, in Washington County. That is the southeast metro, roughly forty-five minutes to an hour from East Bethel, depending on traffic. They list Anoka and Forest Lake among their service areas, and they will travel, but if a same-day response after a storm matters most to you, the companies based closer to Anoka County will get eyes on your roof faster. Ask them directly about recent East Bethel addresses before you sign.

Local Authority & Reputation

• MN license: BC760638, Residential Building Contractor
• BBB: A+ rating, accredited since September 2019
• Google: 4.9 across roughly 72 reviews
• Anoka County presence: listed service area rather than a local base

Seventy-two reviews at 4.9 is a solid, believable record: enough volume to show a pattern, high enough to suggest the pattern is a good one. The open question on this entry is not quality; it is proximity.

#3. Ascension Roofing & Siding

Based at 27937 Lakewood Drive NW in Isanti, which is the closest thing on this list to a neighbor. Isanti sits directly north of East Bethel, roughly fifteen minutes up the road, in the same open-country hail corridor described at the top of this guide. They are working the same storms you are.

Roofing Services Offered

• Residential roofing: tear-offs, full replacement, repair, and patchwork
• Commercial roofing for a range of roof systems
• Storm damage repair with full insurance claim assistance
• 24/7 emergency response
• Siding: vinyl, wood, and repair work matched to existing material
• Windows, gutters, soffit, and fascia

Additional Details

Track record: the founder has worked in roofing since 2008; the company secured its Minnesota general contractor license in 2019. Family-owned, and their stated approach leans on education and no-pressure inspections rather than door-knocking.

Certifications: Owens Corning Preferred Contractor and CertainTeed ShingleMaster.

Worth asking about: outbuildings. Given the acreage lots and pole barns around East Bethel, confirm they will inspect and quote the detached garage and shop as part of the same claim, not as an afterthought.

Local Authority & Reputation

• MN license: BC753558, Residential Building Contractor
• BBB: A+ rating, accredited since 2019
• Google: 4.9 across roughly 389 reviews
• Anoka County presence: Isanti base, immediately north of East Bethel, genuine local proximity, not a service-area listing

Three hundred and eighty-nine reviews at 4.9 is the second-deepest record on this list, and it comes attached to an office fifteen minutes from East Bethel. That combination of volume and proximity is what moved them up the ranking despite a shorter licensed history than some companies below them.

#4. Elevation Exteriors

Family-owned and operated from 14956 Osage Street NW in Andover, which puts them in Anoka County, about twenty minutes from East Bethel. They advertise 15 or more years of experience.

Roofing Services Offered

• Roof installation, replacement, and repair for residential and commercial properties
• Materials: asphalt shingle, cedar shake, metal, and flat roof systems
• Pole barn and outbuilding roofing
• Storm damage restoration, including hail, ice dams, and missing shingles
• Roof inspections and insurance claim support
• Siding, windows, and seamless gutters
• Decks and exterior painting

Additional Details

The pole barn point: Elevation explicitly quotes pole barns and outbuildings alongside houses. On the acreage lots and hobby farms around East Bethel, where one hailstorm hits the house, the garage, and the shop in a single pass, that is not a minor line item. Outbuildings are the single thing most often left off a claim, and a contractor who quotes them by default is worth calling.

About the license class: CR806992 is a Residential Remodeler license rather than the Residential Building Contractor (BC) class held by most companies on this list. Both are valid Minnesota licenses that cover re-roofing an existing home, so this is not a red flag, but it is a difference you will notice at the DLI lookup, and we would rather explain it than let it surprise you.

Also worth noting: veterans and first responders receive a discount.

Local Authority & Reputation

• MN license: CR806992, Residential Remodeler
• BBB: A rating, accredited 2025. Note this is an A, not an A+, and BBB cites the length of time in business as a factor in the rating
• Google: 5.0 across roughly 103 reviews
• Anoka County presence: Andover base, genuine local proximity

A 5.0 on a hundred-plus reviews is a strong signal, and we have weighted it as one. The A rather than A+ at the BBB, and a 2025 accreditation date, are the reasons this entry sits at third rather than higher: the record is excellent but short. Read the reviews for dates as well as content.

#5. Northface Construction

Family-owned, operating from 18332 Joplin Street NW in Elk River with a second location in Minneapolis. Elk River is in Sherburne County, roughly a half hour west of East Bethel.

Roofing Services Offered

• Residential, commercial, and multi-family roofing
• Steep-slope materials: asphalt shingles, metal shingles, and metal panels
• Flat and low-slope systems: EPDM, TPO, and PVC
• Storm damage restoration and insurance claim work
• Ice dam removal and roof ice melt systems
• Siding, gutters, gutter guards, soffit, and windows
• Skylights, insulation, roof rejuvenation, and solar shingles

Additional Details

The strongest permit record on this list: public building-permit data shows more than 500 permitted projects overall and roughly 263 in the last three years, with a typical permit value near $12,000. That is high, sustained, verifiable volume, the kind of record that cannot be manufactured and that storm-chasers, by definition, do not have.

Certifications: GAF Master Elite, Owens Corning Preferred, Vinyl Siding Institute certified installers on staff, and LP Gold Certified BuildSmart. Again, supporting evidence rather than proof.

The widest material range after Northface’s flat-roof systems: if your property includes a low-slope addition, a shop with a metal roof, and a shingled house, this is one of the few companies here that installs all three.

Local Authority & Reputation

• MN license: BC665389, Residential Building Contractor
• BBB: A+ rating, accredited since 2015, the longest accreditation on this list
• Google: 4.9 across roughly 630 reviews, the deepest review volume here
• Anoka County presence: Elk River base with heavy documented permit activity across the north metro

On raw evidence, Northface has the strongest file on this page: the longest BBB accreditation, the most reviews, and by far the most permits. It sits at fourth rather than first only because our weighting rewards a base inside Anoka County and demonstrated East Bethel work specifically, and Elk River is across the county line in Sherburne. If you weigh volume and track record above proximity, a defensible choice, move this entry up your own list.

#6. Bold North Exteriors

Family-owned, based at 19121 Cleat Circle in Farmington, and licensed in both Minnesota and Wisconsin. The business started in 2018 and was incorporated as an LLC in 2021.

Roofing Services Offered

• Roof replacement, repair, and installation
• Free roof inspections with photo documentation, typically same-day after a major storm
• Storm damage restoration with the insurance claim handled from inspection through payment
• Commercial and emergency roofing
• Siding, gutters, and windows
• Decks, flooring, drywall, and interior and exterior painting

Additional Details

A material choice worth knowing about: Bold North uses IKO Dynasty Class 3 impact-rated shingles as their standard install rather than as a paid upgrade. In a hail corridor that matters twice, the shingle holds up better, and many insurers discount premiums for a Class 3-rated roof. Ask your carrier what the credit is worth before you compare bids, because it can change which quote is actually cheaper.

They say they are not storm-chasers: their stated policy is no door-knocking and no unsolicited visits after a storm. Given that storm-chasers are the single most common source of roofing complaints in this market, a contractor who volunteers that policy is at least aware of the problem.

The distance question, answered honestly: Farmington is in Dakota County, at the far southern edge of the metro. Bold North’s own website describes their service area as roughly an hour’s drive from Farmington, reaching south to Faribault and Red Wing, east to Hastings, and west to Shakopee. East Bethel is about fifty miles north of them and sits outside that stated radius. They are a well-reviewed company, and they hold a valid Minnesota license, but if you are calling from East Bethel, confirm they will actually travel to you before you spend time on an estimate.

Local Authority & Reputation

• MN license: BC795118, Residential Building Contractor, plus DC-052300715
• BBB: A+ rating. BBB file opened September 2018 [NOT BBB Accredited]
• Google: 5.0 across roughly 43 reviews
• Anoka County presence: not established; Farmington base with a south-metro service radius

Forty-three reviews at 5.0 is a good early record on a young company, and it is the thinnest volume on this page. Combined with a base fifty miles south of East Bethel, that is why this entry ranks fifth. Nothing here suggests a bad contractor; it suggests a contractor whose demonstrated territory is somewhere else.

Why Bethel Homeowners Choose Advantage Construction

We are based in East Bethel, at 18750 Buchanan Street NE. Every company ranked above us works out of somewhere else: Isanti, Andover, Elk River, Saint Paul Park, and Farmington. That is not a reason to hire us on its own, but it is why we can be on your roof the morning after a storm and still be here when a warranty question comes up nine years from now.

The difference in the work is what we inspect. We document the whole property, not just the house. One hailstorm hits the garage, the shop, and the pole barn in the same pass, and outbuildings are what most often get left off a claim. We photograph every structure for your adjuster, we never touch your deductible, and if your roof turns out to be worn rather than storm-damaged, we tell you that instead of filing.

Advantage Construction Also Serves Near East Bethel

Storm damage rarely stops at a city line. We inspect, document, and repair full-exterior storm damage across the north metro, so if you are just outside East Bethel, these are the same crews and the same claim process:

• Blaine storm damage repair
• Coon Rapids storm damage repair
• Brooklyn Park storm damage repair
• Minneapolis storm damage repair

See the service areas for everywhere we work across the metro, greater Minnesota, and western Wisconsin.

How To Verify Any Roofer Yourself, In About 20 Minutes

You do not need this list, or any list. Here is the whole method.

• License – Search the company at secure.doli.state.mn.us. Confirm the license is a Residential Building Contractor or Residential Roofer license, is active, and matches the exact business name on your contract. This takes two minutes and catches most problems.
• Insurance – Ask for a certificate of insurance naming you, and confirm both general liability and workers’ compensation are current. A legitimate contractor produces this without hesitation.
• Reviews, read properly – Ignore the star average. Read the one and two-star reviews specifically, and look at how the company responded. Patterns in complaints tell you more than the headline number.
• BBB – Check the letter rating, the accreditation date, and the complaint detail, not just the badge.
• Local proof – Ask for two recent addresses in or near East Bethel and, if you can, drive past. Ask whether they pull the permit and meet the inspection.
• The deductible test – If anyone offers to cover, rebate, or eat your insurance deductible, walk away. Minn. Stat. § 325E.66 makes that illegal in Minnesota, and offering it tells you how they operate.

Run those six, and you have done what any “best of” list claims to do for you, including this one. That is the point: a list is a shortcut, not a substitute, and the twenty minutes is worth more than any ranking, ours included.

The Public Databases You Can Use

Every one of these is free and open to you.

• Minnesota DLI license lookup: license number, type, status, expiry
• Better Business Bureau: accreditation date, letter rating, complaint history
• Google Business Profiles: rating, review count, review recency
• Minnesota Secretary of State business search: entity registration and standing
• EPA Lead-Safe firm locator: required for pre-1978 homes, and East Bethel has many
• City of East Bethel and Anoka County permit records, where available: actual project volume, not claimed

None of this is proprietary, and none of it costs anything. If a company’s standing can’t be confirmed in these databases, that absence is itself the answer, and we left it off rather than guess.

Get a Straight Answer on Your East Bethel Roof

The six checks above do most of the work of picking a roofer, because the wrong contractor is behind most bad outcomes. What they can’t tell you is what your own roof actually needs. 

At Advantage Construction, we inspect the full exterior for East Bethel conditions: hail bruising the ground that can’t be seen, wind damage along the ridges, and the outbuildings that storms hit and claims forget. That approach is behind our 4.8-star rating across more than 700 homeowner reviews. Contact Advantage Construction to schedule a free inspection with a team that documents the whole claim, not just the roof.
