Roofing Experts
Bold North Exteriors has worked throughout Hennepin County long enough to know the common issues homeowners face here. Storm damage is the biggest one, and most of it goes uninspected too long because it isn't visible from the ground. We do free inspections throughout Long Lake and the surrounding area and give you a straight report on what we find. If you want to file a claim, we help you through that process from the first inspection through the adjuster appointment.
Long Lake sits along the north shore of its namesake lake, and that waterfront exposure creates specific roofing concerns that inland properties don't face at the same intensity — wind-driven moisture, faster shingle granule loss on south and west exposures, and ice dam formation that's accelerated by the thermal variation between open water and frozen ground. The freeze-thaw cycles here through March and April are particularly hard on flashing and ridge caps, where small gaps let water in before anything looks wrong from the ground.
Word of mouth drives most of our work in Hennepin County. Homeowners in Long Lake who've worked with us tend to refer neighbors and family members, and that's the business model we've built since 2018. Doing the job right the first time is more efficient than chasing new customers constantly.
Why choose us
Jon Simonson started Bold North in 2018 as a family operation, not a volume contractor, and Long Lake fits that model well — it's a community where homeowners talk to each other and a bad job follows you. We install IKO Dynasty Class 3 impact-resistant shingles as our standard on every replacement, not as an upsell, because it's the right product for what Minnesota weather actually does to a roof.
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.
24-Hour Storm Response
Family Owned since 2018
We built this business on repeat customers and referrals. That's still true today.
Don't just take our word for it - hear from real Minnesota homeowners who've experienced our no- pressure, transparent estimate process.
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.
Beth H.
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 Long Lake?
Roof replacements in Hennepin County typically range from $10,000 to $18,000 for a standard residential home, with urban properties and complex rooflines on the higher end. If your Long 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.
How soon after a storm should I schedule an inspection in Long Lake?
Sooner is always better, especially after hail events that track through the Hennepin County corridor during summer months. Hail impact marks are clearest in the days and weeks after a storm — UV exposure and additional weather events progressively obscure the evidence that insurance adjusters and contractors use to document damage. Call us at (507) 581-2557 and we'll get out to Long Lake quickly so the documentation reflects what actually happened.
Do you handle the insurance claim process for Long Lake homeowners?
We handle the insurance process end to end for Long Lake homeowners — that means documenting damage before you file, walking you through what your policy likely covers, and being on-site when the adjuster shows up. The adjuster appointment is where claims get underpaid most often, because homeowners aren't always sure what to point to or how to push back on a low assessment. We bring our own findings to that meeting and make sure the scope reflects the full damage at no additional charge.
Is Bold North Exteriors licensed and insured for roofing work in Long Lake?
Bold North Exteriors holds Minnesota contractor license BC795118 and carries full liability insurance and workers compensation coverage on every job in Long Lake and throughout Hennepin County. We pull required permits and follow local building codes on every replacement — not because we have to mention it, but because skipping permits creates title and insurance complications for homeowners down the road. You can verify the license directly through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry if you want to confirm it before calling.
