About 13 minutes from our shop

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.

Storm history

What the weather has done to Oakdale roofs

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.

The housing stock in Oakdale

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.

Permits

Roofing permits in Oakdale

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.

Oakdale roofing questions, answered

Do you offer free roof inspections in Oakdale?
Yes. We inspect the roof in person, photograph it, and give you a plain language recommendation, including a clear scope explanation for insurance related projects when storm damage is part of it. The visit is free and carries no obligation.
How fast can you get to Oakdale after a storm?
Typically within a few days, since the shop is about 13 minutes away. A roof that is leaking right now or has decking showing gets priority.
Do you handle siding, windows and gutters in Oakdale too?
Yes. The same crews install siding, replacement windows and seamless gutters, and many Oakdale projects bundle a roof with gutters or siding on the weather side of the house.
Do you do roof repair in Oakdale, MN?
Yes. A house built around 1987, the Oakdale median per the Census, is at the age where valleys, pipe boots and flashing wear out before the field of shingles does. We inspect, photograph the problem, and tell you whether a repair buys real years or whether the money belongs in a replacement. If it turns into a re roof, the permit goes through Oakdale's online portal and usually clears in about 3 business days.
