Roofing Experts
Bold North Exteriors serves Newport and the broader Washington County area. We're a family-owned roofing and exteriors company based in Farmington, and we've been doing this work since 2018. When we come out to Newport, we get on the roof and actually look at it rather than giving you an assessment from the driveway. We document what we find with photos, write up a clear report, and tell you what needs to be done without padding the estimate. Every replacement we do uses IKO Dynasty Class 3 impact-resistant shingles as our standard product, not an upgrade.
Newport sits in a low-lying stretch along the St. Croix River corridor where cold air pools in winter, making freeze-thaw cycles more frequent and more damaging than homeowners typically expect. Water gets under shingles, expands when it freezes, and works the nails loose over multiple seasons without producing a visible leak until the damage is already significant. By the time you notice something inside the house, the decking underneath has often been wet for longer than a single winter.
We serve homeowners throughout Newport and the surrounding Washington County communities. If a storm has come through and you want to know where your roof stands, a call to (507) 581-2557 gets you a free inspection within 24 to 48 hours.
Why choose us
Most of our Newport work comes from referrals, which means we show up already knowing our reputation is on the line before we set foot on a ladder. Jon attends every adjuster inspection personally, not a salesperson, not a project manager — the same person who documented the damage is standing there explaining it to the adjuster. That follow-through is the difference between a partial approval and a full one, and it costs you nothing extra.
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.

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 Newport?
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 Newport 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 quickly can you schedule a free inspection in Newport?
Newport is well within our regular Washington County service area, so scheduling is straightforward. For general inspections we can usually get out within two to three business days. If you've had a recent hail or wind event and need documentation before filing a claim, we move those to the front of the queue and typically arrive within 24 to 48 hours. Call (507) 581-2557 and we'll get you on the schedule.
What should I expect at the insurance adjuster inspection for my Newport home?
When the adjuster comes out, having your own documentation already in hand changes the dynamic of that conversation. We show up with timestamped photos, a written damage summary, and measurements, so we're not relying on the adjuster to find everything on their own. Insurance adjusters are thorough, but they're also moving fast across a lot of properties after a storm event, and details get missed. Our presence at that inspection is standard practice on every storm damage job, not an add-on.
How do I verify that a roofing contractor is legitimate before hiring them in Newport?
Any contractor working in Minnesota is required to hold a residential contractor license issued by the Department of Labor and Industry, and you can verify that license number on their website before anyone sets foot on your roof. Bold North Exteriors holds license BC795118 — we'll give you that number upfront and you should absolutely check it. Beyond licensing, we carry full liability and workers' comp insurance, hold IKO ROOFPRO certification, and don't collect payment until the job is finished and you've walked it with us.
