Chanhassen roofs, inspected by the photo and replaced right

The drone footage above is a Chanhassen home we re-roofed in December 2025, a two-story on a cul-de-sac where our September inspection found chalk-marked hits and wind-lifted shingles. Chanhassen grew more than 120% after 1990, so thousands of its roofs are now reaching the end of their life at about the same time. Repair King serves all of Chanhassen with free inspections, dated photo reports and permits pulled through the city's online system.

Dean & Ginger Ward on their roof, deck and storm repairs

I felt very comfortable because of his professionalism. He allowed me not to sign a piece of paper until I spoke with my husband, because my husband wasn't home at the time, and a lot of the contractors weren't allowing that.

[Ginger] We first met Mike when he came to our door after a storm, and it was very nice. He was very professional, and he was professionally dressed. As a woman alone at home, when he stopped and rang the doorbell after a storm, he was actually non-threatening. I felt very comfortable because of his professionalism, and he continued that throughout. He allowed me not to sign a piece of paper until I spoke with my husband, because my husband wasn't home at the time, and a lot of the contractors weren't allowing that, so that was very helpful for us as well. The other thing he did was give me a card so that I could research him online and make sure he really was who he said he was, and then talk to some other people in the neighborhood and in the area, so I could see what he had done. That professionalism kept going throughout the whole job, because he continued to have good cleanup. If I had any questions, even on a Saturday night, I had his phone number to call, which was very helpful for me, so I wasn't stressed out about how the job was going. [Dean] We didn't know who to go to. We'd never had any issues before and never had to have any contractor work before. Mike was able to help us out, because we had multiple things we had to deal with on the house. We had our roof, we had damage to the garage door, we had damage to the deck and the fencing. We had all kinds of different things. Mike was able to come in with his company, Repair King, work all those different angles and bring everybody else in for us. [Ginger] We were very lucky to meet Mike with Repair King, who gave us a wonderful experience out of something that wasn't. Because of his professionalism and Repair King, I would definitely recommend that you give him a call.

Why Chanhassen is different

Why are so many Chanhassen roofs coming due at the same time?

Because most of the city was built in two decades. About 5,400 of Chanhassen's roughly 9,900 homes went up between 1980 and 1999, and the population has more than doubled since 1990. Many of those homes are on their first or second shingle roof, so hail or wind that a newer roof would shrug off can finish an older one.

Drive the cul-de-sacs off Galpin Boulevard, Powers Boulevard or Highway 41 and you see the same era over and over: two-story homes with three-car garages, steep front gables, bump-outs and lots of valleys. Census data counts more than 4,100 Chanhassen homes with nine or more rooms, over 40% of the housing stock. Big, cut-up roofs have more valleys, more flashing and more ridge to fail, and they cost more to replace, so it pays to document them carefully.

Our December 2025 re-roof is a good example. In September we walked the roof and found chalk-marked hits across the reddish-brown shingles, a wind-lifted tab with the seal strip broken, and a test square measured slope by slope. The tear-off came in December, in the snow, and the drone footage at the top of this page shows the finished roof. In April 2026 we went back and photographed dents in the garage doors, too.

Chanhassen also has about 1,900 townhomes and other attached homes, close to one in five. Association roofs usually get replaced building by building, so boards need a record of what each roof looked like before anyone votes on a scope.

Commercial work

Look what we did for your neighbors in Bloomington

Chanhassen business owners along Highway 5 and West 78th Street know the Bloomington Lincoln dealership on the I-494 strip, about 20 minutes east. The dealership is in Bloomington, not Chanhassen, but it shows the kind of commercial roof work we do.

Repair King installed a Duro-Last membrane on the flat roof of this Bloomington dealership. Before the work we walked the old roof and photographed every rooftop unit curb, seam and drain, like the view here from our July 2024 inspection.

Chanhassen homes & buildings

What are Chanhassen homes built like?

Chanhassen is one of the newer cities in the metro. Its median home was built around 1993, fewer than 400 homes predate 1950, and almost nine in ten households own their home. Large two-stories, townhome associations and wooded lakeshore lots set the inspection agenda here.

Local factorWhat we see in ChanhassenWhy it matters for repairs
Housing ageAbout 2,374 homes built in the 1980s, 3,012 in the 1990s and 1,699 in the 2000s, out of about 9,894 (Census ACS)1980s-90s roofs are on their first or second shingle and often past their rated life
Home sizeAbout 4,140 homes, over 40%, have nine or more roomsSteep, cut-up roofs with many valleys and bump-outs: more flashing and more places for leaks
TownhomesAbout 1,904 single-family attached homes, close to one in fiveAssociations need per-building photo records before approving a scope
Lakes and woodsLake Minnewashta, Lotus Lake, Lake Ann and Lake Lucy; Lake Ann's shoreline is 100% undevelopedWooded lots mean shaded roofs, moss and limb damage; lakeshore roofs take more wind
TreesEmerald ash borer was confirmed in Chanhassen in 2021, near the Eden Prairie borderDying ash limbs over a roof are a storm risk, so we photograph overhanging trees

Hail & storm history

When did hail and wind last hit Chanhassen?

NOAA storm reports show 1.75-inch hail near Chanhassen on September 5, 2020, the most recent hail report in our data. The largest stone reported near town since 2015 was 2 inches on May 3, 2015, followed by 1.25-inch hail on June 29, 2015. Wind has been more frequent: a 75 mph gust was measured on August 29, 2024, a 58 mph gust on August 26, 2024, and a 64 mph gust on May 11, 2022. Storm reports only cover places where someone reported them, so a hit on your street may not show up, which is why we check the roof itself.

Codes & permits

Do you need a permit to replace a roof in Chanhassen?

Yes. The City of Chanhassen requires building permits for roofing, siding and window replacement, and since January 1, 2022 every permit has to be applied for online. Repair King applies and pays for the permit under our Minnesota contractor license (BC695228).

Chanhassen enforces the 2020 Minnesota State Building Code, which adopts the 2018 International Residential Code with Minnesota amendments. For a re-roof that means ice barrier at the eaves, full tear-off where the old roof can't take another layer, and flashing and ventilation to code. The city inspects the finished work.

Townhome associations and HOAs may add their own rules on shingle color and style. We check the association's requirements before ordering materials, and we give boards a photo report per building.

Local

What makes Chanhassen different?

Chanhassen is a Carver County city of about 26,000, 15 miles southwest of Minneapolis, with a small piece reaching into Hennepin County. It is home to Paisley Park, Chanhassen Dinner Theatres, and the National Weather Service office that issues storm warnings for the Twin Cities.

Prince's Paisley Park opened in 1987 on a former cornfield at 7801 Audubon Road; the 65,000 square foot studio complex became a museum in 2016. Chanhassen Dinner Theatres has run since 1968 and is the nation's largest professional dinner theatre. The National Weather Service Twin Cities forecast office, the one that issues severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings for most of the metro, is right here in Chanhassen. The city keeps five public beaches and about 70 miles of trails, and Lake Ann Park's 102 acres wrap a lake with no homes on its shore.

Inspect first

Storm damage in Chanhassen: what should you do first?

Start with an inspection, not a decision. A damaged shingle does not automatically mean a roof needs to be replaced. What matters is what the inspection actually finds on the roof, siding, gutters and windows.

1 · InspectWe check the roof, soft metals, gutters, siding and windows, and we check the storm history for your address.
2 · DocumentYou get a dated photo report of everything we observe, damage or not.
3 · DecideYou choose the next step: repair, replace, or keep an eye on it. We explain the repair options and give you a written estimate.

FAQ

Chanhassen roofing questions

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Chanhassen?

Yes. Chanhassen requires permits for roofing, siding and window replacement, and all permits have been applied for online since January 1, 2022. Repair King handles the application.

When did hail last hit Chanhassen?

NOAA storm reports show 1.75-inch hail near Chanhassen on September 5, 2020. The largest hail reported near the city since 2015 was 2 inches on May 3, 2015. Run a free Roof & Storm Report for your exact address.

My Chanhassen home was built in the 1990s. Is the roof near the end of its life?

Often, yes. A shingle roof from the 1990s is likely on its first or second replacement cycle, and about 3,000 Chanhassen homes were built that decade. An inspection tells you whether it's worn out, storm-damaged, or fine for now.

Is the National Weather Service really in Chanhassen?

Yes. The NWS Twin Cities forecast office, which issues warnings for most of the metro, is in Chanhassen. Its storm reports are part of the data behind our storm history.

Has Repair King re-roofed homes in Chanhassen?

Yes. We inspected a two-story Chanhassen home in September 2025 and re-roofed it in December 2025. The drone video at the top of this page is that roof.

We live in a Chanhassen townhome association. How do you handle that?

We inspect and photograph each building separately, so the board sees the condition of every roof before voting. We also check the association's color and material rules before ordering.

Will my insurance pay for a new roof?

We can't answer that; coverage questions go to your insurer. We document what we find on the roof, gutters, siding and garage doors with dated photos, so you have a clear record to share.
