Roofing Experts
Bold North Exteriors works throughout Rice County, and Owatonna is a regular part of that territory. Jon runs every job personally, which means when you call us you're not handed off to a salesperson or a subcontracted crew you've never met. We do free inspections, write honest estimates, and use IKO Class 3 shingles on every replacement we install. If your roof needs repair rather than replacement, we'll tell you that.
Owatonna sits in a stretch of southern Minnesota that sees some of the region's more consistent hail activity, with storm cells tracking northeast through Steele and Rice Counties on a regular basis during spring and early summer. The flat terrain around the city offers little natural break for wind, which means hail arrives with full force rather than being deflected or slowed. That combination of frequency and exposure is why we see a higher percentage of genuine storm damage claims here compared to more sheltered parts of our service area.
We cover Owatonna as part of a service area that spans most of the metro and southern Minnesota. Response times are fast, the inspection is thorough, and the estimate you get afterward reflects what your roof actually needs.
Why choose us
Jon has been straightforward with Owatonna homeowners about one thing from the start: if your roof has five good years left in it and the damage doesn't meet your deductible, we'll tell you to hold off and put that money toward something else. That kind of honesty doesn't always close a sale on the first visit, but it's the reason most of our Owatonna work comes through referrals rather than door-knocking. The IKO Dynasty Class 3 shingles we install on every replacement also give homeowners in this hail corridor a meaningful upgrade in impact resistance over standard builder-grade material.
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 Owatonna?
Residential roof replacements in Rice County typically range from $8,000 to $15,000. If your home sustained storm damage, insurance may cover most or all of that cost. If your Owatonna 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 Owatonna?
Sooner is better, particularly in Rice County where back-to-back storm systems in the same season can layer new damage on top of old and complicate what your adjuster is looking at. The cleaner the documentation, the stronger the claim. Minnesota insurance policies generally allow a year to file, but we've seen adjusters push back harder on claims where weathering has had time to blur the evidence. Call us at (507) 581-2557 and we'll get out to Owatonna before that window starts working against you.
Do you handle the insurance claim process for Owatonna homeowners?
We do, and we treat the adjuster inspection as the most important appointment in the process. We show up with our own photographs and damage documentation, walk the roof alongside the adjuster, and flag anything that gets overlooked or undervalued in the initial assessment. Owatonna homeowners sometimes find that a first adjuster visit results in a partial approval that doesn't reflect the full scope of the damage — having us there from the start reduces the back-and-forth that comes with supplementing a claim after the fact. There's no separate charge for this on storm damage jobs.
Is Bold North Exteriors licensed and insured for roofing work in Owatonna?
Bold North Exteriors holds Minnesota contractor license BC795118, carries full general liability coverage, and maintains workers compensation insurance on every job we run in Owatonna and throughout Rice County. We pull permits where required and install to current local code, which matters if you're selling the home or need documentation for an insurance carrier down the road. Jon has operated under that license since the company was founded in 2018 — it's not a license borrowed from another contractor or a name attached to a franchise operation.
