About our work in

Roofing Experts
Our work in Franconia is part of a larger focus on Chisago County and the communities surrounding it. Every job we take on follows the same process: free inspection with photos, written estimate that explains the scope clearly, IKO Class 3 shingles on replacements, and a crew that works clean and leaves the property the way they found it. Jon is on every job, not managing from an office.
Franconia sits along the St. Croix River valley, and that geography matters when it comes to roof performance — the low-lying terrain and proximity to the river corridor tends to trap moisture and extend the freeze-thaw window compared to higher ground further inland. Ice dam formation is a particular concern here, where temperature swings between day and night can cause snowmelt to refreeze repeatedly at the eave line before winter is finished.
If you're not sure whether your Franconia roof sustained damage in a recent storm, the free inspection answers that question definitively. We've told plenty of homeowners their roof looks fine and has years of life left. That's a good outcome. You know where you stand without guessing.
Why choose us
A lot of our Franconia work comes through referrals from people in the St. Croix River area communities, and Jon takes that seriously — a bad job or an oversold replacement follows you when your business runs on word of mouth. If your roof has a few good years left, we'll say so and put it in writing, because that's the kind of answer that brings people back when they actually need a replacement.
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.

Jon delivered on a tricky project for us and was top notch. I would not hesitate to use him for future needs or to recommend him to anyone.

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 Franconia?
Roof replacements in Chisago County typically run between $8,500 and $15,000 for a standard residential home depending on square footage, pitch, and materials. If your Franconia 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 Franconia home if I'm not sure whether storm damage occurred?
Yes, and you don't need visible damage to justify a call — hail and wind impacts aren't always obvious from the ground. We get on the roof, photograph what we find, and give you a written report with a clear conclusion. If the roof is in good shape, we tell you that and you move on without spending anything.
How do I know if my Franconia insurance claim will be approved?
Approval depends heavily on what gets documented and whether someone is there to represent your interests during the adjuster inspection. Insurance companies pay based on what the adjuster records, not necessarily the full extent of the damage — which is why we show up to every adjuster appointment in Franconia with our own photos and written findings. Homeowners who go through that process alone often leave money on the table without realizing it.
Are you licensed to do roofing work in Franconia?
Bold North Exteriors is licensed in Minnesota under contractor license BC795118, which covers roofing work in Franconia and throughout Chisago County. We carry full liability insurance, and we pull the required permits for every job — something not every contractor bothers to do in smaller communities. You can confirm our license status directly through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry.
