Roofing Experts
We've been serving communities throughout Washington County since 2018. Forest Lake has the kind of housing mix we see throughout the region: homes that have been through multiple storm seasons alongside newer builds where damage from the last big hail event may still be sitting unclaimed. Both situations are worth a free inspection. We get on the roof, take photos, and give you a written report the same day. No cost and no obligation.
Forest Lake sits in an area that sees legitimate hail exposure most storm seasons, and Washington County's position along the Interstate 35 corridor means storms rolling up from the south don't lose much energy before they arrive. What makes this harder to catch is that impact damage on asphalt shingles often looks minor from the ground but is already compromising the granule layer that protects against UV and moisture. A lot of the roofs we inspect in this area have damage that's two or three seasons old and still sitting unclaimed.
The team we send to Forest Lake is the same crew Jon works with on every other job across Washington County. Consistent standards, and the job site is cleaned up before we leave.
Why choose us
Jon built this business on referrals, and Forest Lake is a community where word gets around fast — that cuts both ways, so the incentive to do the job right is built in. When we look at a roof here, we give you an honest read on whether repair makes sense or whether you're throwing money at something that needs to be replaced, and we won't push you toward the more expensive option if it isn't warranted. IKO certification means we're accountable to installation standards that most crews in the area aren't held to.
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 Forest Lake?
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 Forest Lake 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.
Can you inspect my Forest Lake home if I'm not sure whether storm damage occurred?
Yes, and you don't need to have seen a storm pass through to schedule one — hail damage in particular rarely announces itself with obvious signs from the ground. We cover Forest Lake and the rest of Washington County on a regular basis, so getting someone out to your property isn't a scheduling problem. We'll get on the roof, photograph what we find, and give you a written report the same day so you're not left guessing.
How do I know if my Forest Lake insurance claim will be approved?
Approval comes down to documentation, and the biggest mistake homeowners make is calling their insurer before they know what's actually on the roof. We inspect first, build a complete photo record of the damage, and when the adjuster comes out, Jon attends that appointment to make sure nothing gets overlooked or undervalued. Claims in Washington County that are properly documented from the start tend to go a lot smoother than ones where the homeowner is trying to catch up after the fact.
Are you licensed to do roofing work in Forest Lake?
Bold North Exteriors is licensed in Minnesota under contractor license BC795118, and we pull all required permits for work in Forest Lake and throughout Washington County before any job starts. You can verify that license directly through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry if you want to check it yourself. We're also fully insured, so if anything goes wrong on the job, it's covered — yours and ours.
