Roofing Experts
Faribault homeowners know storm season personally. Rice County has been in the path of significant hail events in 2022, 2023, 2025, and again in April 2026, and Faribault has appeared on state hail damage maps after every one of them. The April 2026 storm alone dropped hail measured at 2–3 inches in diameter across the city, which meteorologists called a "plowable hail" event. At that size, shingle damage is near-certain, but much of it won't be visible from your driveway. Bold North Exteriors gets on the roof and finds what adjusters need to see.
What a lot of Faribault homeowners don't think about is the freeze-thaw cycle along the Straight River corridor — that low-lying terrain holds moisture longer than higher ground, and when temperatures swing hard in late winter, the expansion and contraction around flashing and valleys accelerates wear in ways that compound quietly over years. Older homes near downtown, many with steeper pitches and original valleys, are especially vulnerable to this kind of incremental damage. It doesn't make headlines the way a hail event does, but it's responsible for a lot of the leaks we find during inspections that homeowners assumed were storm-related.
After major storms in Rice County, the predatory storm chasers move in fast, the Rice County Sheriff's Office has publicly warned about contractors pressuring homeowners to sign on the spot. We're not that crew. We're licensed, we're local, and we'll be here after the job is done. Whether you're dealing with hail from last summer's storms or a roof that's finally past its prime, we're the team Faribault families call first.
Why choose us
Jon Simonson has been on roofs in Faribault after every major storm cycle since 2022, and a good portion of the calls we get now come from referrals — neighbors telling neighbors after they saw how the job was handled. We're IKO-certified and we install IKO Dynasty Class 3 impact-resistant shingles on every replacement, which matters in a county that has taken repeated hits, because the next storm in Rice County is a matter of when, not if.
We're not a big franchise — we're Jon and the crew, and we'll be here long after the job is done.

It was fantastic working with Jon and Bold North Exteriors. We had just a small job for him to do and he took the time to find the exact color match and made sure it was perfect. Communication was great and would highly recommend him anytime. Whenever we need roofing done in the future, Jon is the guy we will call.
Jen Wood
Great service and communication. Storm damaged roof was replaced quickly. Already recommended to a friend.
Keith Asleson
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, completed professionally, and the workers did a great job of cleanup. Highly recommend Bold North.

How much does a new roof cost in Faribault?
Roof replacements in Faribault typically range from $8,000 to $15,000 for a standard residential home. If your roof sustained damage in the April 2026 storm or any previous Rice County storm event, your homeowner's insurance may cover most or all of the cost. We provide free inspections and help you understand exactly what your policy covers before any work begins.
My roof didn't look damaged after the storm — do I still need an inspection?
Hail in the 2–3 inch range — what fell over Faribault in April 2026 — causes bruising and granule loss that is essentially invisible from ground level, even to experienced eyes. The damage shows up in the mat beneath the granules, and that's what an adjuster needs documented to approve a claim. Waiting on an inspection doesn't just risk missing the damage — it risks missing the insurance window, because carriers in Minnesota have filing deadlines that don't pause while you wait to see if a leak develops.
How do I know if a contractor is legitimate after a storm in Faribault?
Pull the license number before you let anyone on your roof — legitimate contractors operating in Minnesota will give it to you without hesitation, and you can verify it in minutes on the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry website. Bold North Exteriors holds license BC795118, and we're also licensed in Wisconsin under DC-052300715 if that matters to you. Beyond licensing, ask whether the contractor will attend the adjuster inspection with you — we do, because that's where documentation gets made or missed, and a contractor who won't show up for that meeting is one who won't be around if the claim gets disputed.
How quickly can you get out to Faribault after a storm?
Faribault is a regular part of our service area, and after a storm event we move fast — typically within 24 to 48 hours for initial inspections, sometimes sooner depending on how widespread the damage is. Call us directly at (507) 581-2557 to get on the schedule; we keep slots open after major events because we know how quickly the predatory out-of-state crews descend on Rice County. You can verify our Minnesota license BC795118 before we even pull in the driveway — we'd expect you to.
