Oakdale sits just across Interstate 694 from our Mahtomedi shop. Freedom Exteriors is veteran owned, and our own licensed and insured crews handle roof replacement, roof repair and free storm damage inspections there, along with siding, windows and gutters.

From 1145 Summit Ave in Mahtomedi it is roughly 13 minutes to Oakdale. At that distance an inspection after a storm is a matter of days, and you deal with the same crew from the quote to the cleanup.
NOAA's Storm Events Database logs 133 hail events and 51 thunderstorm wind events within 15 miles of Oakdale from 2020 through 2024, with stones up to 2.5 inches, and 105 of those hail events fell in 2022. That season included May 19, when the Minnesota DNR recorded half dollar to golf ball size hail from St Paul and its northern suburbs eastward through central Washington County. Oakdale sits on Interstate 694 between those two areas, so a roof here that was never inspected after that summer is worth a look now.
Oakdale incorporated in 1968 and kept annexing land into the 1990s, and the Census shows the result: 47.8 percent of its housing units were built in the 1980s and 1990s, the median build year is 1987, and the median value sits near $306,000. More than one unit in five is a single family attached home (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 5 year 2023, tables B25034, B25035, B25077 and B25024; Wikipedia: Oakdale, Minnesota). That holds from the streets near Tilsen Park, where the 45th parallel runs through the ballfield, to the land that came into the city from the old Northdale Township.
Oakdale treats roofing, siding and windows as building permits and runs them all through its online permit portal. A permit without plan review takes about 3 business days, and inspection requests should go in 5 business days ahead. Gutter installation does not need a permit, as long as the downspouts are not aimed at a neighbor's property. 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 Oakdale. Ask us for addresses you can drive past.
