We Actually Get On Your Roof
Is It Time for New Asphalt Shingles?
Asphalt shingles are the most popular roofing material in Minnesota for good reason — durable, affordable, and available in dozens of styles. But shingles wear differently depending on brand, tier, and installation quality, and not every contractor installs them to spec.
Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles, summer hailstorms, and heavy snow loads age roofs faster than milder climates.
Signs your asphalt shingles need replacement:
Shingles curling, cupping, or losing granules into gutters
Repeated leaks even after prior repairs
Missing shingles after hail or windstorms
Roof is 20–25+ years old — typical MN asphalt lifespan
Ice dams forming every winter causing water intrusion
Visible daylight in attic or sagging roof deck
Certified Installer
Manufacturer-Certified Roofing You Can Trust
Incline Exteriors is a certified installer for GAF and Malarkey Roofing Products, two of the most respected asphalt shingle manufacturers in the industry. That certification unlocks stronger manufacturer warranties on your shingles than a standard installation qualifies for.
Shingle Repair
Not Every Shingle Problem Needs a Full Replacement
If your shingles are otherwise in good shape, a targeted repair can add years of life for a fraction of the cost of a new roof. Here’s when repair is usually the right call:
Wind-Lifted or Missing Shingles
A handful of shingles torn loose or blown off after a windstorm, with the rest of the roof intact.
Flashing & Chimney Leaks
Deteriorated flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights is a common, fixable leak source.
Isolated Leaks
A single problem area rather than roof-wide failure — patched and sealed, not torn off.
Storm Damage Patches
Hail or wind damage limited to one roof plane usually doesn’t call for a full tear-off.

Pricing
What Affects the Cost of Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Minnesota?
Every roof is different, so every price is too. Here’s what shapes your estimate:
Roof Size & Complexity
Square footage, pitch, valleys, and dormers all affect labor time and material needs.
Shingle Tier & Brand
Architectural and premium designer shingles carry different price points — and GAF vs. Malarkey product lines price out differently too.
Tear-Off & Decking
The number of existing layers and any rotted or damaged decking found underneath add to the scope.
Permits & Code
MN building code, local permit fees, and ice-and-water-shield requirements are built into every quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an asphalt shingle installation take?
Most Twin Cities homes take 1–2 days for a full tear off and install, weather permitting.
Will you help with my insurance claim?
We inspect for storm damage, document it, and can meet your adjuster on site.
Do you offer financing?
We offer financing through a 3rd party lender, and are able to use yours if you have one.
What roofing brands do you install?
We’re a certified installer for GAF and Malarkey Roofing Products, two of the most trusted shingle manufacturers in the industry. We’ll help you pick the right shingle line for your home, budget, and Minnesota’s climate.
Can my asphalt shingles be repaired instead of replaced?
Often, yes. If the damage is limited to one area and the rest of your shingles are in good shape, a targeted repair is usually the smarter, less expensive call. We’ll always give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes sense.
Do I need to be home during the installation?
You don’t need to be home. Most homeowners work or run errands during the job, we’ll keep you updated by phone or text.
What time of year is best for a shingle installation in Minnesota?
The best time for a shingle installation is anytime from spring through late fall. We monitor temperature and precipitation to make sure shingles seal properly.
What warranty comes with a new roof?
Manufacturer warranties on materials plus our workmanship warranty, both in writing.
How much does asphalt shingle roofing cost in Minnesota?
Cost depends on roof size, pitch, shingle tier, and the condition of your decking. During your free inspection we’ll give you a detailed, itemized quote, no surprises once work begins.
