How Much Does a New Roof Cost in Minnesota? (2026)
In 2026, a full roof replacement on an average Minnesota home (about 2,500 sq ft of roof) typically costs about $11,000–$16,000 with architectural asphalt shingles, $16,000–$24,000 with designer shingles, $17,500–$27,500 with ribbed metal, $25,000–$40,000 with synthetic or natural cedar shake, and $27,500–$42,500 with standing seam metal.
These are preliminary planning ranges for the Twin Cities metro and surrounding Minnesota communities. Your own price depends on roof size, pitch, layers to tear off, and local code items.

What raises the price
- Steep pitch (harder and slower to work on, more safety gear).
- More than one layer of old shingles to tear off.
- Lots of valleys, dormers, skylights or chimneys.
- Rotted roof decking that needs replacing.
- Minnesota code items like ice and water underlayment at the eaves and proper attic ventilation.
Ways to keep costs down
- Get a planning range before sitting through sales appointments.
- Ask whether storm or hail damage is worth having your insurance look at.
- Schedule in spring or early fall, before contractors' peak backlog.
- Compare the same shingle line and scope between quotes.
