Edina sits just southwest of Minneapolis, a city of 53,564 residents with a median household income of $128,767 (Data source: U.S. Census Bureau / Data Commons). That income level reflects the area's well-maintained housing stock. Homes here in Morningside, Countryside, and along the Country Club District are older and built to last — but older homes also mean older roofs. Wood shake that's gone brittle, original clay tile that's starting to crack, or asphalt shingles that are well past their 20-year mark are common calls we get from Edina. These homes deserve careful work, not a rushed crew trying to hit a daily quota.
Minnesota's climate doesn't give Edina any breaks. Winters bring ice dams along soffits and gutters, especially on the steeper-pitched homes near Minnehaha Creek and the lakes along the western edge of the city. Spring thaw and summer storms add wind and hail damage to the list. A median age of 44.9 years in this community (Data source: U.S. Census Bureau / Data Commons) means many homeowners here have owned their homes long enough to know one bad roof season from another. They're not looking for a sales pitch. They want the job done right the first time.
