Active leak repair

Temporary and permanent leak repairs to stop water getting inside.

Window & door board-up

Broken windows and doors boarded to secure the home against weather and entry.

Fallen tree damage

Roof and structure secured after tree strikes, then repaired.

Photo documentation

Every condition photographed before and after we secure it.

What to do right now

Safety first. If there's any chance of electrical danger, structural collapse or gas, get everyone out and call 911.

  • Move people, pets and valuables away from leaks
  • Put buckets down and poke a small hole in bulging ceiling drywall to drain water safely
  • Take photos and video of the damage
  • Don't climb on a wet or damaged roof

Repair

Same storm. Same $32,000 roof.

Would your policy leave you paying $2,000, or $22,700?

Many Minnesota homeowners are being moved to roof payment schedules without realizing it. Same hail, same damage, same roof. The only difference is the fine print, and it can cost you more than a new car.

TRADITIONAL POLICY · REPLACEMENT COST
YOU PAY
$2,000
Insurance $30,000

Your deductible, and that's it.

NEWER POLICY · ROOF PAYMENT SCHEDULE
YOU PAY
$22,700
$9,300Out of your pocket $22,700

15-year-old roof, schedule pays 40%, minus a 1% wind/hail deductible.

That's 11× more out of your pocket, on the exact same roof.
Your roof gets older every renewalOn a payment schedule, every birthday your roof has lowers what the policy pays.

★★★★★We reported a leak in the roof and he was at the house in less than an hour to fix it. It was raining and windy but Mike said the work was urgent and got it done.
Sergio M.Google review · Aug 2024
★★★★★My insurance agent called him after we were hit by a storm and he was on site to assess our roof within 5 hours — even with the 2 hour drive to Rochester.

★★★★★Mike stopped by soon after I contacted Repair King to ask for an estimate on a leaking porch roof. He took the time to inspect the area and explain all the options and give advice for next steps.

Questions

Straight answers.

How fast can you get here?

It depends on the day and the weather. Call (612) 354-7677 and we'll tell you honestly when we can be there. Active leaks are prioritized.

Do you tarp roofs after storms?

Yes. We install heavy-duty tarps secured to protect the roof and interior until permanent repairs are made.

Do you board up windows?

Yes. We board broken windows and doors after storms, break-ins and fires.

Should I call my insurance company first?

That's your decision. Many policies expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage, so securing the home quickly matters. Keep receipts and photos, and check your policy or talk to your agent about reporting.
