About St. Cloud Roof Pros: Licensed Roofing Pros in MN
We work the tri-county area out of St. Cloud, and most of what we see is a roof in decent shape sitting above flashing nobody has touched since the Carter administration. Quarry-era cottages, mid-century ramblers with granite veneer skirts, downtown buildings with stone parapets. Different eras, same failure point.
So the estimate starts with a tape measure at the wall, not on the ridge. We count feet of roof-to-masonry, grade the sealant we find, and tell you what a surface-mounted counterflashing assembly actually costs to build and what it costs to service later. Nobody enjoys hearing that a joint has a maintenance interval. It has one anyway.
Hire somebody else when the job is the stone itself. Repointing a granite chimney, resetting a shifted cap, rebuilding a rubble foundation wall above grade: that is masonry work, it sits in a different special skill under state law, and a mason who does it every day will do it better and cheaper than we would. We will happily flash whatever they leave us.
If you have a roofing project in St. Cloud, the fastest way to get a real number is a free on-site estimate. See every St. Cloud service we handle, check whether we cover Sartell, MN and the rest of central Minnesota, or go back to the St. Cloud Roof Pros homepage to start.

Credentials
- License: Minnesota licenses this trade, and the credential we hold is the residential building contractor license DLI issues. Minn. Stat. 326B.802, subd. 15 files roof coverings under special skill (g) and masonry walls, veneer and their waterproofing under (b). A granite chimney needs both sides of that joint, so we hold the license that carries more than one skill and the number goes on your contract.
- Insurance: Commercial general liability and Minnesota workers' compensation, in force for every person we send to your address. Have the carrier mail you the certificate directly rather than accepting a copy we typed out ourselves.
- Association: We do not put a trade-body badge on the truck. What stands behind the work is the DLI license lookup, the surety bond that license carries, and a photographed record of every stone joint we opened and closed on your house.
- Warranty: A written workmanship warranty on the covering, and a separate, shorter written interval on the sealant where metal meets granite. Those two things do not last the same number of years and quoting them as one is how homeowners get surprised in year eight.
How St. Cloud Roof Pros works
How a job with St. Cloud Roof Pros runs, start to finish
Site visit first, always. We measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and ask what you are actually trying to solve — then you get an itemized free estimate in writing with materials, scope and a realistic date on it.
Once the work starts, the same crew stays on the job until it is done. We protect the surrounding area, clean up daily, and tell you the moment something under the surface changes the plan, because the alternative is a surprise invoice and nobody wants that conversation. A written workmanship warranty on the covering, and a separate, shorter written interval on the sealant where metal meets granite. Those two things do not last the same number of years and quoting them as one is how homeowners get surprised in year eight. backs the finished work.
What we will not do
We do not quote a roofing job over the phone, take deposits before a written scope exists, or bid work we are not set up to do properly. If your project needs a different trade, we say so and point you at someone who does it well. Losing a job is cheaper than doing one badly in St. Cloud.
Where St. Cloud Roof Pros works and who we work with
St. Cloud, MN first, then the surrounding communities of central Minnesota: Sartell, Sauk Rapids, Waite Park, St. Joseph, Princeton, Cold Spring, Melrose, St. Augusta and more. Each of those has its own page with local detail rather than a copy of this one.
Work splits roughly between homeowners and commercial property — offices, retail, restaurants, apartment complexes and HOA boards across central Minnesota. Start with the St. Cloud services, the St. Cloud Roof Pros homepage, or just call (844) 511-2320.
Why St. Cloud Chooses St. Cloud Roof Pros
- ✓The tape measure goes to the walls before it goes to the ridge. Linear feet of roof-to-masonry moves a St. Cloud bid further than the shingle line ever does.
- ✓Sawn granite will not take a raked reglet, so counterflashing here is surface-mounted and serviceable. We build it that way on purpose and hand you the service interval in writing.
- ✓Money goes into starter, step flashing, valley metal and hip and ridge first, and into the field laminate second. A premium shingle over tired metal is a good-looking roof with the old leak still under it.
- ✓Coating asphalt shingles is not something we do, and whole-roof sealing is not something we sell. The only sealant worth buying on most of these houses is the few dozen feet where metal meets stone.
- ✓Minnesota DLI is explicit that gutters, downspouts, soffit and fascia sit outside a roofing-only license. We hold the broader one and we will tell you which credential covers which part of your job.
- ✓Under Minn. Stat. 325E.66 a contractor may not read your policy to you, adjust your claim or touch your deductible. We hand you an itemized good-faith estimate and stay in our lane.
What St. Cloud Customers Say
Two other bids gave us a shingle brand and a number. These folks measured the chimney and the porch wall first, showed us the photos of the tar somebody had smeared in there, and quoted the metal separately. Made the choice obvious.
Said the field had the best part of a decade left in it and that we only needed the chimney redone. Cost about a fifth of what we had budgeted. I kept waiting for the upsell and it never came.
Ridge vent on our place was chopped into three short pieces by the chimney, which they said was doing almost nothing. Put in two off-ridge vents clear of the stone instead. Upstairs is noticeably cooler in August.
Storm took half the ridge cap off. They tarped it the same evening, weighted at the stone because there is nothing to screw into there, and were straight with us that it was a two-week fix, not a repair.
