On a lake place that sits empty half the year, a small leak can run all winter before anyone sees it. In town, it is usually a gusty night and a few shingles on the lawn. Either way, most Alexandria repairs come down to one failed spot. We find it, fix it, and tell you plainly how the rest of the roof is holding up.

Alexandria repairs usually land between $850 and $4,500. Where yours falls depends on the part that failed and how many months water has had to spread. A cracked pipe boot on a year-round house is near the bottom of that range. A valley that leaked all winter in an empty cabin, with soaked decking and ceiling below, is near the top. The written price comes before any work, after a free inspection.
Some lake roofs are past the point where another patch helps, and we say so. These are the replacement numbers to compare against. For a 2,000 sq ft ranch style home in the Alexandria service area, the approximate cost to replace that roof is $9,100 to $22,480. For a 4,000 sq ft home, the cost is $14,980 to $32,100 for a shingle roof.
Many of our Alexandria repair calls come from owners who live somewhere else most of the year. That changes how we work. We get in touch before the visit, go up, find the leak, and send photos of the source along with a written price. Once you approve it, we do the repair and send pictures of the finished work, so you can see it is done without driving up.
Punctured shingles replaced and the sheathing under them checked and patched where a branch came through.
Folded tabs, lost ridge caps and loose edge metal on the slopes that face the water.
Valley metal and step flashing reworked where meltwater and rain were getting behind them.
Split rubber pipe boots and loose vent caps, the leak that runs quietly all winter in an empty cabin.

Usually between $850 and $4,500. A single cracked pipe boot is at the low end; a valley that leaked through a winter with nobody home, wetting the decking, is at the high end. We quote a fixed price in writing first.
Yes. We inspect, send photos and a written quote, and after the repair we send photos of the finished work.
That depends on how much it damaged. We photograph the shingles and the decking under them so you can decide. A big hit is often worth taking to your insurer instead of paying yourself.
It is a good habit. A cracked boot or lifted shingle is a small fix in the fall and a much bigger one after months of melt running into the attic.
Most leaks at the lake start at one small spot and spread while nobody is there. We find it, quote it, and send you proof it is fixed.
We go up on your Alexandria roof, follow the water back to where it got in, and photograph it.
You get a fixed written price for the repair, or our honest view that the roof is past repairing.
If a storm or fallen tree did it, our photos are ready for your insurer, and we follow Minnesota law.
