It’s Not Too Late to Replace Your Roof Before Winter
If you’ve been putting off that roof replacement, now is the time to act. Late summer and early fall are the ideal seasons to replace your roof in Minnesota—before winter weather puts your home to the test. With snow, ice, freezing temperatures, and high winds just around the corner, your roof needs to be at its strongest.
At the Contractors Association of Minnesota (CAM), we help homeowners connect with trusted, local roofing professionals who are ready to get the job done right—and done in time.
Why Replace Your Roof Before Winter?
Minnesota winters are no joke. A compromised roof can lead to:
- Ice dams and water damage
- Leaks during freeze–thaw cycles
- Increased heating bills due to poor insulation
- Structural damage from heavy snow accumulation
According to the National Roofing Contractors Association, roofs over 20 years old are more likely to fail during extreme weather—and in Minnesota, winter conditions can start as early as October. Replacing your roof now helps avoid emergency repairs during a blizzard or subzero cold snap.
Why Hire a CAM Roofing Contractor?
- Peer-Vetted by Other Contractors: Every CAM member is evaluated by fellow industry professionals—not just paperwork. This ensures that you’re hiring someone with real-world experience and a proven reputation.
- Local and Reliable: CAM contractors are based right here in Minnesota. We do not allow out-of-state “storm chasers”—those fly-by-night companies that roll in after a storm and vanish after the checks clear. With CAM, you’re hiring someone with roots in your community.
- Minimum Three Years in Business: Newly opened operations don’t make the cut. All CAM members must have a minimum of three years in business, demonstrating stability, experience, and trustworthiness.
- A+ BBB Ratings: Over 95% of our members have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. That track record speaks volumes about customer satisfaction and professionalism.
- Ongoing Compliance Checks: Every CAM member is reviewed annually for Department of Labor & Industry (DLI) enforcement actions to ensure they remain in good standing and follow all state regulations.
Get It Done Right—Before the Snow Falls
Minnesota winters can be brutal. Don’t risk heading into the season with a roof that’s past its prime. Hire a CAM-certified contractor and rest easy knowing your home is protected by a licensed, local professional who’s been thoroughly vetted.
