Roofing Experts
Bold North Exteriors has worked throughout Chisago 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 Shafer 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.
Shafer sits in the St. Croix River valley corridor, which tends to funnel and intensify storm systems moving through Chisago County — hail events here often hit harder than radar summaries suggest, and granule loss shows up across entire roof planes rather than in isolated patches. The freeze-thaw cycle is also aggressive this far north of the metro, and roofs that took impact damage but weren't replaced tend to develop moisture intrusion points that don't show up inside the home until a full winter has worked them open.
We cover Shafer 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 built this business on referrals, and that only works if the advice you give people is accurate. If a Shafer roof needs two squares patched and the flashing reset, that's the estimate you'll get — not a full replacement pitch dressed up to look inevitable. The IKO certification matters here too because it means we're installing Dynasty Class 3 shingles with a warranty structure that holds up if you ever need to make a claim years down the road.
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.

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 Shafer?
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 Shafer 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 Shafer?
Sooner is better, but the window matters less than people think if you document quickly. Hail events in Chisago County are often trackeable through weather data, which helps establish the date and intensity of a storm even if some time has passed. That said, if you had a recent event come through Shafer, call us now — the physical evidence on the shingles and gutters is clearest before another season of UV and weather starts obscuring what the storm left behind.
Do you handle the insurance claim process for Shafer homeowners?
We handle it start to finish for Shafer homeowners. That means we're on your roof before the adjuster arrives, we bring written documentation of what we found, and we're present at the inspection to make sure nothing gets undervalued or missed in the scope. Insurance companies aren't adversarial, but adjusters move fast and cover a lot of properties — having a contractor there who's already documented the damage keeps the assessment accurate.
Is Bold North Exteriors licensed and insured for roofing work in Shafer?
Bold North Exteriors holds Minnesota contractor license BC795118, carries full general liability coverage, and maintains workers compensation — all of which apply to every job we do in Shafer and throughout Chisago County. We pull permits where required and follow local code on every replacement. You're welcome to verify the license through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry before you schedule anything.
