Roof Replacement in Minnesota is 4% above the national average of $7,470. This is primarily due to higher labor costs and stronger demand in Minnesota.
Minnesota experiences one of the coldest climates in the lower 48, with long, severe winters and warm, humid summers. Frost lines reach 60 inches in the northern counties, footings must be set deep, and most exterior construction is pushed into a May-through-October window. Short-day winter work is limited to interior trades with heated enclosures. For roof replacement projects specifically, this means timing and material selection are key factors in both cost and quality.
Minnesota's costs are close to the national average, reflecting a balanced supply-demand dynamic in the local construction market.
