Storm Damage Repair in the Twin Cities — Roof, Siding, Gutters & Insurance Help
When a Minnesota storm rolls through, it doesn’t ask which part of your exterior it’s allowed to hit — hail bruises your roof, cracks your siding, and dents your gutters, often in the same afternoon. Northern Exteriors has been the Twin Cities’ storm damage repair contractor since 2001, repairing the whole exterior: roof, siding, gutters, soffit and fascia — based in Cottage Grove and working across the east and southeast metro communities we serve. Not sure if you have storm damage? Call us first. We’ll inspect the roof, siding, gutters, fascia, and exterior, document what we find, and tell you honestly whether the damage we see is significant enough to be worth a conversation with your insurance company. If it isn’t, we’ll tell you that too. Our storm damage repair process in the Twin Cities starts with documentation: we photograph every affected area first, so you and your insurance company can make decisions from evidence — coverage always depends on your policy and your insurer’s inspection. If hail just moved through your neighborhood, the smartest first step is a free hail damage roof inspection — we document everything before you ever call your insurance company.

Storm Damage Repair Contractors Who Handle the Whole Exterior
Plenty of contractors chase the roof and ignore everything else. We inspect and repair the complete storm-damaged exterior — one crew, one date-of-loss, one coordinated repair.
Storm-Damaged Roofing — Repair or Replace
We install impact-rated shingles built for hail country — Owens Corning Duration, GAF Timberline HDZ, CertainTeed Landmark, and TAMKO StormFighter FLEX Class 4 shingles (which may qualify for an insurance premium discount, depending on your carrier). We’ll tell you honestly whether you need a targeted repair or a full replacement.
Storm-Damaged Siding
Hail-damaged siding is frequently covered under the same storm claim as your roof, yet it’s the piece most often left off. We document cracked, holed, and dented panels and replace them with LP SmartSide engineered wood (LP Remodelers Edge program member) or premium insulated vinyl, color-matched so the repair disappears.
Seamless Gutters & Downspouts — Storm Repair
Storms dent, bend, and tear gutters and downspouts off their runs. We repair or replace them with seamless gutters fabricated on-site to your home’s exact measurements — fewer joints, no leaks, and proper drainage away from your foundation.
Fascia & Soffit Storm Damage
Wind and hail also damage the fascia and soffit that protect your roofline and attic ventilation. We inspect these often-overlooked areas, document any damage for your claim, and repair or replace them so water and pests stay out.
Insurance Documentation — What We Provide
Northern Exteriors MN provides roof and siding storm damage inspections, photo documentation, and repair/replacement recommendations. Insurance coverage decisions are made by the homeowner’s insurance company or adjuster — policies and circumstances vary.
We provide detailed, adjuster-ready documentation: dated photos of every damaged area (roof, siding, gutters, fascia and soffit), tied to the correct date-of-loss, in a format your insurer can act on. Thorough documentation is what keeps legitimate damage from being overlooked.
Adjuster Meeting Support
We meet your insurance adjuster on-site, walk the full exterior together, and make sure every area of storm damage is seen and recorded. We don’t decide your claim — your insurer does — but we make sure nothing legitimate gets missed.
Storm Damage Repair FAQ
Should I call you or my insurance company first?
Call Northern Exteriors first for a free inspection. We’ll check the whole exterior and tell you honestly whether the damage we see is significant enough to be worth a conversation with your insurer before you file — and if it isn’t, we’ll tell you that too, so you don’t open an unnecessary claim.
Can hail damage my siding, gutters, and fascia too — not just the roof?
Yes. Hail and wind damage the whole exterior, and it’s often covered under one claim. We inspect and document all of it — roof, siding, gutters, soffit and fascia.
Will one insurance claim cover roof, siding, and gutters?
Frequently, if it’s documented properly under one date-of-loss — which is exactly what we do. Coverage decisions are made by your insurer.
Do you repair storm-damaged gutters and downspouts?
Yes — we repair or replace them with seamless gutters fabricated on-site, as part of the whole-exterior storm repair.

Storm Damage Inspection & Documentation Process
After any significant storm — hail, straight-line winds, or severe thunderstorms — your roof may have damage that is not visible from the ground. Missing shingles are obvious. Hail bruising, lifted flashing, and saturated decking are not. Northern Exteriors provides free storm damage roof inspections for Twin Cities homeowners. We document every finding with photos, give you an honest assessment, and walk you through your options. Our dedicated storm damage roof inspection page explains what the inspection process covers and how we document findings. Our 6-step storm damage guide walks through exactly what to do first.
Call or text 651-230-5103 for your free storm damage inspection. Same-day inspections available after major storm events.
WHAT WE DOCUMENT IN EVERY STORM INSPECTION
Shingle impact bruising — hail damage documented in Roseville, MN. This type of bruising is not visible from the ground.
Dented metal roof cap — soft metal damage is one of the clearest indicators of significant hail impact on your roof.
Wind Damage Roofing — Missing Shingles & Lifted Flashing
Minnesota thunderstorms bring wind gusts that can tear shingles from your roof and lift flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys. If you see shingles in your yard after a storm, do not wait. Wind damage left unrepaired leads to leaks, deck rot, and mold. Northern Exteriors provides free wind damage inspections and prompt storm repair response throughout the Twin Cities metro.
Not every storm-damaged roof needs full replacement. For targeted fixes — lifted flashing, wind-torn shingles, active leaks — see our Twin Cities roof repair service for an honest repair-versus-replace assessment.
Hail Damage Roofing — Storm Insurance Claims
Hail is the most common cause of roof insurance claims in Minnesota. Northern Exteriors specializes in hail damage documentation and insurance claim support. We meet your adjuster, photograph every impact mark, and make sure the documentation reflects the full scope of visible damage. After 25+ years and hundreds of hail inspections in the Twin Cities, we know how to document damage thoroughly — so the decision on your claim is based on complete information. Also see our dedicated hail damage roofing page.
If a recent storm moved through Ramsey County, our guide on what homeowners should check after large hail walks through the signs we document.
Hail and wind don’t only damage roofs — they can dent, crack, and loosen siding, trim, and soft metals too. If your home’s exterior took a hit, you can also explore our storm damage siding inspections and siding repair and replacement options.
Storm Claim Timing — Act Promptly
Storm claim deadlines and coverage rules vary by policy and date of loss, so it’s smart to inspect and document damage as soon as possible. Call Northern Exteriors first — we’ll inspect the full exterior, document what we find, and tell you whether the damage we see is significant enough to be worth a conversation with your insurance company. And if a claim you’ve already filed is dragging on, our guide to why storm damage insurance claims can take months explains why a slow claim isn’t automatically a dead claim.

Frequently Asked Questions — Storm Damage Roofing MN
Can storm damage be hard to see from the ground?
Yes. Wind and hail damage often is not visible from the ground, so your roof may have damage even if it looks fine. A professional inspection with documentation is the safest way to know.
Do you provide photo documentation for insurance claims?
We do. Our inspection includes clear photo documentation of any areas that may have storm damage, which you can share with your insurance company.
What should I do right after a storm damages my roof?
Call 651-230-5103 for a free inspection. Do not climb your roof yourself. Document any active leaks with photos and call your insurance company. We can often schedule same-day inspections after major storm events.
How do I file a storm damage insurance claim?
After we inspect your roof and document the damage, you’ll have the dated photos and inspection notes you need to file with your insurer. We can meet your adjuster on-site to point out what we found, and we’ll explain our construction findings in plain English. Most homeowners have never filed a storm damage claim before — hundreds of Twin Cities families have used our documentation to do exactly that.
Will insurance pay for a full roof replacement after storm damage?
That’s your insurance company’s decision, based on your policy and the documented damage — no contractor can guarantee what an insurer will approve. When a replacement is approved, the homeowner’s out-of-pocket cost is typically the deductible, but policy terms and circumstances vary. What we do is document the damage so clearly that the decision is made with complete information.
