Roof Replacement

Bormann Brothers has been putting roofs on Farmington homes since 1997. We’re family owned, GAF certified, and licensed in Minnesota (Lic# 20170064). We don’t use subcontractors, so the same crew that shows up to tear off your old roof is the same crew that finishes the job, usually in a single day. Every roof we install comes with a 50-year transferable warranty and is built to hold up to what Minnesota throws at it: hail season, ice dams, freeze-thaw cycles, all of it.

Roof Replacement You Can Count On

If your roof is past the point of repair (usually after 20 to 25 years, or after a bad storm), a full replacement is the smart call. We install premium GAF architectural shingles like the Timberline HDZ line, plus Class 4 impact-resistant shingles that stand up to Minnesota hail. A lot of homeowners don’t realize this, but Class 4 shingles usually earn you a discount on your homeowners insurance somewhere between 10 and 30 percent. Over a few years, that discount often covers the upgrade cost by itself.

Here’s what a Bormann Brothers roof replacement includes:

• Full tear-off down to the decking
• Deck inspection and repair if we find any rot or soft spots
• Synthetic underlayment
• Ice and water shield along the eaves and valleys (6 feet up from the wall line, which is what Minnesota code requires)
• New drip edge
• New flashing around chimneys, skylights, and any roof penetrations
• Proper ridge ventilation to help prevent ice dams and extend shingle life
• Magnetic sweeps around your property so no stray nails end up in the driveway or the yard

We walk you through shingle style and color choices before we start. We cover your landscaping and gutters during tear-off. And when we’re done, your property looks better than when we showed up. Take a look at our recent roofing gallery to see some of the homes we’ve done around the South Metro.

We serve homeowners across Farmington, Lakeville, Apple Valley, Rosemount, Prior Lake, Burnsville, and the rest of the South Metro.

Roof Repair & Reroofing

Not every roof needs to be replaced. If your roof is under 15 years old and the damage is limited to a few spots, a targeted repair is usually the smarter move. What we see most often on repair calls:

• Missing, curling, or cracked shingles
• Leaks around chimneys, skylights, or vent pipes
• Failing flashing where the roof meets a wall
• Ice dam damage along the eaves
• Attic ventilation and moisture problems
• Storm damaged shingles from hail or wind

A lot of quick-fix roofers will patch the symptom without figuring out what actually caused the leak. That’s how you end up calling somebody back two years later for the same problem. We take the time to find the real source before we touch anything.

Reroofing (installing new shingles over your existing roof) is another option in the right situation. It only works on a structurally sound roof with a single existing layer, but when it fits, it can extend your roof’s life at a lower cost than a full tear-off. We’ll tell you honestly when it’s a good option and when you’re better off replacing the whole thing.

Storm or Hail Damage? We Handle the Insurance Claim

Minnesota storms don’t play around. Hail season runs from April into September, and one bad supercell can wreck roofs across an entire Farmington neighborhood in a single night. The tricky part is that the damage isn’t always obvious from the ground. Hail bruises, granule loss, cracked shingle mats, and lifted flashing usually only show up on a close inspection. That’s what our free storm inspection is for. If you know you’ve been hit and want the full breakdown of what we look for, our storm and hail damage roof repair page walks through the whole process.

If we find covered damage, we walk you through the whole claim process:

1. Free storm damage inspection with photo documentation
2. A detailed damage report you can send to your insurance company
3. On-site meeting with your adjuster so nothing gets missed
4. Supplements filed for anything the adjuster overlooks, like code upgrades, drip edge, ice and water shield, or ventilation
5. Full roof replacement using code compliant materials once the claim is approved

One more thing worth saying: we’re not storm chasers. You’re not going to see us knocking on doors after every hail event or pushing you to sign a contingency agreement before you’ve even called your insurance company. We’re local. We live in the South Metro, our kids go to school here, and our reputation is the whole business. So we’re going to be straight with you, even if that means telling you your roof is fine and you don’t need us right now.
