Roofing Experts
In Afton and throughout Washington County, we find the same pattern regularly: homeowners who went through a significant hail event, didn't see obvious damage from the outside, and assumed everything was fine. Then a couple of years later a leak develops and what could have been a repair turns into a full replacement. An inspection after any storm with hailstones over an inch is worth doing. We do them for free.
Afton sits along the St. Croix River valley, and that geography creates its own set of roofing problems — cold air pooling in low areas accelerates freeze-thaw cycles that work at shingles and flashings over multiple winters, and the bluff-top properties on the west side of town catch wind exposure that flat-area homes simply don't. Ice damming is a real concern here for homes with shallower pitches or insufficient attic ventilation, especially after the heavy snow-and-melt sequences that hit Washington County in late winter.
Our licensing covers Afton and all of Washington County. We pull permits where required, carry full insurance, and don't ask for payment upfront. That last part matters more than most homeowners realize when comparing contractors after a storm.
Why choose us
Jon personally inspects every Afton roof and gives you a straight answer on whether what he finds justifies a repair, a claim, or nothing at all — that kind of honest read is something you don't always get from contractors who need to sell replacements to cover their overhead. Most of our Washington County work comes through referrals, and that matters to how we operate: we're not moving through a zip code and leaving, we're building a reputation in communities where people talk to each other.
We're not a big franchise — we're Jon and the crew, and we'll be here long after the job is done.
Honest Estimates
We'll tell you exactly what your roof needs — and what it doesn't. No upsell.
Insurance Experts
We work directly with your adjuster so you get what you're owed. Oftentimes, finding money insurance often neglects.

Great service and communication. Storm damaged roof was replaced quickly. Already recommended to a friend.
Keith A.
Kudos to Jon for sticking with us and working with multiple adjusters while trying to get our insurance company to cover the roof. The install was done in a day as promised and the workers did a great job of cleanup. Highly recommend Bold North.

How much does a new roof cost in Afton?
Roof replacements in Washington County typically range from $9,500 to $17,000. St. Croix River area homes with historic architecture or steep pitches tend toward the higher end. If your Afton home has storm damage from a recent hail or wind event, your homeowner's insurance may cover all or most of the replacement. We provide free written estimates so you know exactly where you stand before committing to anything.
Do you respond quickly to storm damage calls in Afton?
We cover Afton as a regular part of our Washington County service area and we move quickly after significant hail or wind events because early documentation is what makes or breaks an insurance claim. Call (507) 581-2557 when you're concerned and we'll get an inspection scheduled within 24 to 48 hours — sooner when storm activity has been widespread. The inspection is free and we put everything in writing so you have something concrete regardless of what you decide to do next.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover my Afton roof if it has storm damage?
Coverage depends on the cause and the timing — if hail or wind caused the damage, your policy almost certainly covers it, but the way that damage gets documented before the adjuster arrives makes a significant difference in what actually gets approved. We attend the adjuster inspection with you so that what we found during our inspection is on the table when decisions get made, not discovered after the fact. One thing Afton homeowners sometimes miss: waiting too long after a storm to file can complicate the claim, so it's worth calling us for a free inspection before you decide whether to pursue it.
What credentials should I look for in a Afton roofing contractor?
Any contractor working in Afton should be able to hand you a valid Minnesota license number on the spot — ours is BC795118, and you can verify it directly through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry in about two minutes. Beyond licensing, ask whether they're IKO ROOFPRO certified, because that certification determines whether the manufacturer warranty on your shingles is actually registered and enforceable or just a piece of paper. A legitimate contractor also won't pressure you for a signature before inspection results are in writing or ask for large upfront payments before work begins.
