Farmington roofing, hail repair & roof replacement
Repair King inspects and repairs roofs on Farmington homes, from in-town lots near the old railroad depot to acreages on the edge of town. We walk every slope, chalk-mark hail hits and photograph vents, gutters and siding, then handle the City of Farmington building permit and the photo documentation the city requires before it will sign off on the work.
Roofs we see across Farmington
Farmington was platted as a farm town in 1864 and incorporated in 1872, and the roofs we inspect range from in-town lots on the original grid to newer subdivisions and acreages built up since.
Near downtown & the old depot
Older homes close to the historic railroad depot and Oak Street, often with steeper pitches and several shingle layers we check before quoting a tear-off.
Meadowview & the newer south side
Split-level and two-story homes built out closer to Meadowview Park, mostly straightforward gable roofs with a few valleys.
Acreages on the edge of town
Larger lots with detached garages, sheds and outbuildings; we photograph every roofed structure on the property, not just the house.
Along Dodd Boulevard & Hwy 3
Homes with more open exposure along the main corridors get more direct wind, especially on south- and west-facing slopes.
When storms last hit Farmington
Farmington sits south of the metro in a stretch of Dakota County that gets hit by summer storm lines rolling up from the south and west. NOAA storm reports show hail up to 1.25 inches near our Farmington job sites on August 15, 2025, and 1.75-inch hail on July 3, 2023, the largest reported near town since 2015. Hail that size can bruise shingles and dent gutters, vents and AC fins even when the roof looks fine from the driveway.
| Date | Type | What was reported |
|---|---|---|
| Aug 15, 2025 | Hail | 1.25" hail reported |
| Jul 3, 2023 | Hail | 1.75" hail reported |

Permits & photo compliance in Farmington
The City of Farmington requires a building permit for every roofing project, applied for online through the city's BS&A permitting portal. Repair King pulls the permit under our Minnesota contractor license (BC695228).
Farmington also requires photos of all roof sides and slopes, including ice-and-water shield coverage, uploaded and reviewed for compliance within 10 days of job completion. Our crews already document every job this thoroughly, so we submit what the city needs as part of the process.
Acreage and township-adjacent properties: tell us your parcel address and we'll confirm whether the City of Farmington or Dakota County has jurisdiction before we schedule.
Around Farmington
Farmington got its name from the "vast conglomeration of farms and farmhouses" that covered the area when it was platted in 1864; the town incorporated in 1872, making it Dakota County's second-oldest community after the county seat. A railroad depot built in 1865 for the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific line still stands downtown as a historic structure. Today the city maintains 913 acres of parkland and 48 miles of paved trails across 23 parks, including Meadowview Park's 50-plus acres and the developing Lake Marion Greenway connecting Farmington toward Lakeville and Burnsville. Our Farmington jobs run from homes near that old depot to acreages on the edge of town, and every one gets the same chalk-and-photograph inspection.
