St. Louis Park's mid-century ramblers and Cape Cods have taken a beating from decades of freeze-thaw cycles, and those tired shingle roofs are telling on them. If you live near the Reilly Tar & Chemical site or off Excelsior Boulevard, you know the look: curling tabs, granules in the gutters, and ice dams that show up every February.
Homeowners in 55426 call Minneapolis Metal Roofing because we specialize in retrofits over existing shingles, which is often the smartest move for these low-pitched 1950s roofs. Louis Park building stock from the ground up.
Metal Roofing in St. Louis Park (55426)
St. Louis Park sits on clay-loam soil with a high water table in spots, and many of these mid-century lots are tight. A rambler on a 50-foot lot near Louisiana Avenue might have a driveway only 8 feet from the property line, which means staging materials and getting a dumpster in place takes planning. The low-pitch roofs common in the Elmwood and Lenox neighborhoods are actually a good fit for standing seam and corrugated panels, but they need proper underlayment and ventilation because the freeze-thaw cycle here is relentless. Ice dams form at the eaves when heat escapes through under-insulated attics, and that is a conversation we have with almost every homeowner before we quote a metal roof.
Our team has worked on homes from the 1940s Cape Cods near Aquila Park to newer construction off Highway 7. We understand how the local building department reviews roofing permits and what the inspectors look for on a retrofit.

How a Job Works in St. Louis Park
Step 1: You call (612) 326-1892 or request a free estimate online. We schedule an on-site assessment, usually within a few days, and we walk the roof with you to identify problem areas like failed flashing at chimneys, loose fasteners, or soft spots in the decking. You get a written scope and a clear price before any work starts.
Step 2: We pull the roofing permit from the City of St. Louis Park and coordinate delivery. On tight lots, we use a conveyor or crane to get panels to the roof without blocking your neighbor's driveway. If your home is in a historic district or has HOA design rules, we help you submit the paperwork and confirm panel profile and color before ordering materials.
Step 3: After the install, we magnet-sweep the yard and driveway for screws and metal shavings, haul away all debris, and do a final walkthrough with you. We do not leave until you have inspected the work and signed off.
Metal roofing in St. Louis Park runs from about $5.50 per square foot for corrugated panels to $20 per square foot for copper or specialty metals. A typical retrofit over existing shingles on a 1,500-square-foot rambler starts around $7 per square foot, while a full standing seam replacement is closer to $10 to $12 per square foot. Repair jobs like flashing or leak fixes start at $450, and screw replacement or re-fastening runs from $750. The final price depends on roof size, pitch, access, decking condition, and how quickly you need it done. Call (612) 326-1892 for a free estimate tailored to your property.
