Roofing Contractor in Hugo, MN

The drive from our shop at 1145 Summit Ave in Mahtomedi to Hugo takes about 12 minutes up Highway 61. That is close enough for a storm inspection within days, and the crew that quotes your roof is the crew that shows up to build it.

Hugo carries one of the sharpest storm memories in the east metro. On May 25, 2008 an EF3 tornado hit the city, and the National Weather Service summary says it destroyed trees, houses, barns, and silos; the same storms dropped hail larger than golf balls in Hugo. The recent record is quieter but not calm. NOAA's Storm Events Database logs 62 hail events and 23 thunderstorm wind events within 15 miles of Hugo from 2020 through 2024, with stones up to 2 inches, and 51 of those hail events fell in the 2022 season.

Hugo has the youngest housing of any town we serve. Census estimates put the median home at 2003, with 59.7 percent of units built since 2000 and about 89 percent owner occupied. Another 28.6 percent of units are single family attached homes, the highest share on our service list, which is why so many Hugo roof and siding decisions run through an association first (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 5 year 2023, tables B25035, B25034, B25024 and B25003). Homes near Oneka Lake, Rice Lake and Egg Lake tend to sit on more open ground than the streets of Victor Gardens, and open ground is where wind wear shows up first, at the ridge caps and the rake edges.

Hugo lists separate permits for a residential re roof, siding replacement, and window or door replacement, and none of the three is on the city's exempt list. Inspections are booked through the Building Department at 651 762 6300, usually with 24 hours notice. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection as part of the job.

Our own crews work the east metro every week, and the St Paul roof replacement in our project gallery is a short drive from Hugo. Ask us for addresses you can drive past.
