Our Minneapolis Roofing Service Area
Minneapolis Roofing Company serves homeowners and property owners throughout the city of Minneapolis. Our Minneapolis roofing service area follows the city’s 11 communities, which together contain more than 80 officially recognized neighborhoods. We focus on Minneapolis itself, the larger of the Twin Cities, so every community page below is written for the homes and buildings found inside city limits.
Find your community below. Where published records give useful context, such as when an area’s homes were built or whether it sits in a local historic district, we note what that can mean for your roof.
Not sure which neighborhood you’re in? Call (888) 657-0348 and we’ll confirm coverage and set up a free estimate.
How We Cover the City
How Minneapolis Communities and Neighborhoods Are Organized
The City of Minneapolis groups its neighborhoods into 11 larger communities. Neighborhood boundaries and names come from the city, and a few have changed in recent years, especially around Bde Maka Ska. The lists below use current names.
Many Minneapolis homes are many decades old, as several of the community notes below show, and roofs on older homes tend to share a few traits. Re-roofs often reveal board decking instead of plywood, past layers of shingles, or attics with little ventilation. Minnesota code allows no more than two layers of asphalt shingles, so homes that already carry two need a full tear-off. Older homes also benefit from the ice barrier that today’s code requires at the eaves, which earlier roofs often lacked.
North Minneapolis
Camden and Near North
Camden
Neighborhoods: Cleveland, Folwell, Lind-Bohanon, McKinley, Shingle Creek, Victory, and Webber-Camden, plus the Camden Industrial and Humboldt Industrial areas.
Camden has a lot of older single-family housing. Webber-Camden’s neighborhood plan reports that about half its houses were built in 1939 or earlier, and most are single-family homes with detached garages. On homes that age, re-roofs often uncover board decking, multiple shingle layers, or limited attic ventilation, so ask for a per-sheet decking price in your estimate.

Near North
Neighborhoods: Harrison, Hawthorne, Jordan, Near North, Sumner-Glenwood, and Willard-Hay.

Northeast & University
Northeast and University Communities
Northeast
Neighborhoods: Audubon Park, Beltrami, Bottineau, Columbia Park, Holland, Logan Park, Marshall Terrace, Northeast Park, Sheridan, St. Anthony East, St. Anthony West, Waite Park, and Windom Park.
Northeast mixes modest older homes with former industrial buildings, many now converted to studios, offices, and housing. Those converted buildings often have low-slope roofs, which call for flat roofing systems rather than shingles.

University
Neighborhoods: Cedar-Riverside, Como, Marcy-Holmes, Mid-City Industrial, Nicollet Island/East Bank, Prospect Park, and University.
Marcy-Holmes includes the Fifth Street Southeast Historic District, where many houses date from the late 1800s, and parts of the community fall within the St. Anthony Falls Historic District. Exterior work on locally designated properties may need review by the city’s Heritage Preservation staff, so check before choosing new roofing materials.

Downtown
Central Community
Neighborhoods: Downtown East, Downtown West, Elliot Park, Loring Park, North Loop, and Stevens Square/Loring Heights.
The Central community is dominated by commercial buildings, apartments, and condos, most with flat or low-slope roofs. The North Loop and riverfront are partly within the St. Anthony Falls Historic District, and Stevens Square is its own historic district of mostly three-story brick apartment buildings from the 1910s and 1920s. Building owners here can learn more on our commercial roofing page.

South Central
Phillips and Powderhorn
Phillips
Neighborhoods: East Phillips, Midtown Phillips, Phillips West, and Ventura Village.
Read our Phillips roofing guide for local housing styles, common roof types and roofing tips.
Powderhorn
Neighborhoods: Bancroft, Bryant, Central, Corcoran, Lyndale, Powderhorn Park, Standish, and Whittier.
Whittier contains the Washburn-Fair Oaks Historic District, with homes ranging from the 1860s to the late 1930s. Parts of Bryant also fall in the Tilsenbilt Homes Historic District, a group of 1950s ranch houses. Designated properties carry exterior design guidelines, so confirm requirements before a re-roof.

South & Southeast
Longfellow and Nokomis
Longfellow
Neighborhoods: Cooper, Hiawatha, Howe, Longfellow, and Seward.
Much of Longfellow was built from about 1906 through the 1920s, and the area is known for Craftsman-style bungalows. Bungalows often have low attic space and finished half-stories, which can make ventilation and ice dam prevention a key part of any roof replacement. Seward’s Milwaukee Avenue Historic District, built for working families between 1884 and 1904, is locally designated.

Nokomis
Neighborhoods: Diamond Lake, Ericsson, Field, Hale, Keewaydin, Minnehaha, Morris Park, Northrop, Page, Regina, and Wenonah. Keewaydin, Minnehaha, Morris Park, and Wenonah are together known as Nokomis East. Parts of Field and Regina are in the Tilsenbilt Homes Historic District.

Lakes Area
Southwest and Bde Maka Ska-Isles
Southwest
Neighborhoods: Armatage, East Harriet, Fulton, Kenny, King Field, Linden Hills, Lynnhurst, Tangletown, and Windom.
The Lynnhurst Residential Historic District, east of Lake Harriet, has homes dating from 1893 to 1937. Like other designated districts, it has exterior guidelines worth checking before changing roofing materials or colors.

Bde Maka Ska-Isles
Neighborhoods: Bryn Mawr, Cedar-Isles-Dean, East Bde Maka Ska, East Isles, Kenwood, Lowry Hill, Lowry Hill East (often called the Wedge), South Uptown, and West Maka Ska. This community was formerly called Calhoun-Isles, and several neighborhoods have been renamed in recent years.
