Stillwater's hillside streets above the St. Croix River are lined with steep-roofed Victorian and Queen Anne homes, and those roofs take a beating every winter. If you live in the 55082 ZIP code, you already know that snow and ice do not slide off a steep pitch the way they do on a flat suburban ranch.
We are Minneapolis Metal Roofing, and we have worked on roofs from South Hill down to the flats near Lowell Park. When a homeowner on North Hill calls us because of an ice dam or a wind-lifted panel, we know the terrain and the building stock before we pull up. We are fully insured and we specialize in metal roofing for exactly this kind of climate.
Metal Roofing in Stillwater (55082)
Stillwater is built on a bluff, and that changes everything about a roofing job. Many homes sit on narrow lots with steep driveways and limited staging space, so we plan material drops carefully and often carry panels by hand to avoid damaging landscaping or blocking the alley. The historic homes near downtown often have complex rooflines with multiple gables, dormers, and chimneys, which means more flashing details and more opportunity for leaks if the work is rushed. Older houses may have original skip sheathing or multiple layers of shingles underneath, and we check that before recommending a retrofit. Hillside lots also mean water runs fast toward the foundation, so we pay attention to gutter sizing and downspout placement, not just the roof surface.
Our team has installed standing seam, metal shingle, and stone-coated steel on homes throughout Stillwater and the surrounding Minneapolis area. We know how snow behaves on a 12/12 pitch above the St. Croix, and we know which profiles shed ice best on a north-facing slope that never sees winter sun. If your home is in a historic district, we can walk you through panel profiles and colors that meet design review requirements.

How a Job Works in Stillwater
Step 1: You call us at (612) 326-1892 or request a free estimate online. We schedule an on-site assessment, and we look at the roof, the attic if accessible, the flashing, and the gutters. We also check for signs of ice damming at the eaves, which is common on Stillwater's steep roofs. You get a written scope and a clear price before any work starts.
Step 2: We pull the required roofing permit with the City of Stillwater and coordinate any historic district or HOA review if your property falls under one. On tight hillside lots, we stage materials in the driveway or on the street according to city rules, and we protect landscaping with tarps and plywood. Our crews are fully insured, and we keep the job site secure each evening.
Step 3: When the work is done, we walk the property with you, magnet-sweep for nails, and haul away all debris. We do not consider the job finished until you have inspected the roof and the cleanup yourself.
Pricing in Stillwater depends on pitch, access, and the condition of the existing roof. As a ballpark, corrugated and ribbed panel roofing starts around $5.50 per square foot, metal roof over shingles (retrofit) starts around $7 per square foot, and standing seam starts around $10 per square foot. A metal roof repair or leak repair typically starts around $450, while screw replacement and re-fastening starts around $750. Snow guards and ice protection start around $1,200, which is money well spent on a steep Stillwater roof. Copper and specialty metal roofing starts around $20 per square foot. The biggest cost factors are roof size, number of penetrations, staging difficulty on a hillside lot, and whether we are repairing or replacing.
