Roofing contractor in Excelsior, MN
Careful roofing and siding for older homes on Lake Minnetonka's south shore.
Excelsior is just north of Chanhassen on the south shore of Lake Minnetonka. A lot of the homes here are older and full of character, and they need a contractor who checks what's under the shingles and siding before quoting a number.
Older homes need a careful scope
Older roofs often have more than one layer of shingles, board decking instead of plywood, and chimneys with flashing that's been patched more than once. We photograph the decking after tear-off and talk to you before replacing any of it.
Older homes also tend to have steeper pitches and more complicated rooflines, which affects time and cost. You'll see that broken out in the scope, not buried in one number.
On siding jobs, we check whether a section can be matched before recommending a patch. Siding fades unevenly in the sun, and a visible patch on a front wall isn't a good repair.

When Excelsior's homes were built
Older homes, layered history
Half of Excelsior's homes were built in 1970 or earlier, so many have had two or more roofs already. On homes this age it's common to find a second layer shingled over the first, plank decking instead of plywood, and attics that were never vented for a modern roof. All of that gets checked and photographed before we quote.
Permits in Excelsior
The City of Excelsior says a building permit is required for re-roofing and re-siding. A permit means a city inspector looks at the work, which protects you.

I’ve had Joey work with me on three different properties when I had concerns about possible hail and storm damage, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Joey was quick to respond, put my mind at ease, and did a full, detailed inspection of all three properties. He provided me with thorough reports that I could keep for my records and potentially use with insurance if a claim ever became necessary. What I appreciated most was that Joey was honest. He didn’t try to convince me that I had damage just to create a job for himself. In fact, there weren’t any major concerns that warranted an insurance claim. Instead, he gave me some helpful pointers on what to keep an eye on and even pointed out a few areas of concern from the original installation done by previous roofing companies. He also went above and beyond by covering exposed nails while he was there. Little things like that say a lot about the kind of person and contractor you’re dealing with. At this point, Joey is my “call this guy before I call anyone else” roofing guy. 😂 If you’re looking for someone who is responsive, knowledgeable, and actually gives you an honest opinion about what needs to be done, Joey is your guy. I’ll absolutely be contacting him again for any future roofing needs.
Joey roofing did an above and beyond job on my duplex. The process was easy, job done on time, and everything was very clear and informative. They made sure the job was done right, and seem to truly care about the quality of their work. As an investor it can be hard to find good people to work with. I'll be calling them in the future.
Joey came and inspected our gutters and gave us some recommendations to fix an installation issue caused from a different contractor. The professionalism and scheduling communication stood out. I would use this company again for sure
Joey was incredibly helpful and communicative throughout the process of helping me get the roof replaced on my house. He took the time to explain the why behind the what whenever I had more questions and was able to break it down in a way that made it easy for me to understand.
Joe was super knowledgeable and helpful with all the options for our roof, including giving us info on what we could do on our own. Really can't recommend him enough. It's great having a local guy you can trust.
Joey came back and inspected our roof. He was very thourough, walked us through what the insurance process would be and then helped us make a decision on next steps. Great to work with!
