Roofing Experts
Red Wing is one of Minnesota's most distinctive communities, a city where 19th-century architecture lines the downtown streets and homes sit perched above the Mississippi River with sweeping views of the Wisconsin bluffs. More than 1,800 Red Wing homes were built before 1940, and those structures carry unique roofing challenges: steep pitches, complex geometries, aging underlayment, and original flashing details that need to be respected, not ripped out. Bold North Exteriors approaches every Red Wing job with that history in mind.
Red Wing sits in a river valley that funnels cold air off the Mississippi and holds moisture longer than surrounding communities, conditions that make ice dams a recurring problem on homes with lower-slope sections or inadequate attic ventilation. When ice dams form and then release, the water that backs up under shingles doesn't always show up inside right away — it works into the decking, the fascia, and the underlayment first, and by the time a homeowner notices a stain on the ceiling, the damage has usually been building for a full season or more.
Whether your home sits on a quiet street near Colvill Park, up on the bluffs above Highway 61, or in one of Red Wing's historic neighborhoods near the Sheldon Theatre, we've worked with the roofing challenges this city throws at homeowners. We're the team Red Wing families call first.
Why choose us
Jon built this business on referrals, and a lot of those referrals come from Goodhue County homeowners who appreciated getting a straight answer instead of a sales pitch — including more than a few Red Wing jobs where we told someone their roof had years left and a repair was the right call. We install IKO Dynasty Class 3 impact-resistant shingles on every full replacement, which matters in a river corridor that sees its share of late-spring hail, and we back that up with the kind of warranty support that only comes with certified installation.
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.

It was fantastic working with Jon and Bold North Exteriors. We had just a small job for him to do and he took the time to find the exact color match and made sure it was perfect. Communication was great and would highly recommend him anytime. Whenever we need roofing done in the future, Jon is the guy we will call.
Jen Wood
Great service and communication. Storm damaged roof was replaced quickly. Already recommended to a friend.
Keith Asleson
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, completed professionally, and the workers did a great job of cleanup. Highly recommend Bold North.

How much does a roof replacement cost in Red Wing?
Roof replacements in Red Wing typically range from $9,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, pitch, and the complexity of the job. Older homes with steep pitches or historic detailing can run toward the higher end due to the additional care required. We provide transparent, detailed estimates at no charge so you understand exactly what the work involves before committing.
Can you work on historic homes in Red Wing?
Red Wing's historic housing stock is genuinely one of the more demanding roofing environments we work in across southeastern Minnesota. Steep Victorian pitches, original wood decking that may have never been replaced, and decorative flashing details around dormers and chimneys all require a slower, more deliberate approach than a standard suburban reroof. We assess the underlying structure before we ever talk materials, and we're upfront about what we find — including when original details are worth preserving versus when they've simply reached the end of their useful life.
Do you repair wind and freeze-thaw damage in Red Wing?
Wind and freeze-thaw damage are exactly what we look for during inspections in Red Wing, and both tend to be underreported because they're not obvious from the ground. If you've had storm activity and are considering an insurance claim, the timing of your inspection matters — documentation of damage needs to happen before additional weather events complicate the picture or adjusters push back on the timeline. We attend adjuster inspections with our Red Wing customers, walk the roof alongside them, and make sure nothing gets missed or minimized in the assessment.
Are you licensed to work in Red Wing and Goodhue County?
Bold North Exteriors is licensed in Minnesota under BC795118 and fully insured to work in Red Wing and throughout Goodhue County. We pull all required permits for every job — not because we have to remind ourselves to, but because it protects the homeowner's record if they ever sell the property or file an insurance claim. If a contractor is vague about licensing or suggests skipping permits on a job in Red Wing, that's a straightforward reason to walk away.
