Lakeville roofing, hail repair & storm inspections
Repair King inspects, documents and repairs roofs across Lakeville, from the courts off Javelin Avenue to homes along the county's numbered street grid south of 170th Street. We chalk-mark and photograph every hail hit we find, pull the City of Lakeville roofing permit, and follow the state code's tear-off and ice-barrier rules on every re-roof.
Where we've been working in Lakeville
Lakeville is nearly 37 square miles, Dakota County's largest city, and the street grid changes character block by block.
Javelin Ave & Javelin Ct
Several of our Lakeville jobs sit on this short cluster of courts, where single-family homes from the 1990s and 2000s are now due for a first or second re-roof.
The numbered street grid south of 170th St
Addresses like 174th St W, 178th St W and 210th St W follow Dakota County's continuous section-line numbering. Homes here range from established ranches to newer two-story builds, and lot sizes tend to be larger.
Near Lake Marion & Antlers Park
Closer to the lake, mature trees mean more moss, debris and shaded slopes to check, especially on north-facing roof planes.
Hyland Ave & the 215th St corridor
Newer construction toward the edges of town, with more complex rooflines and multiple valleys that need extra attention to flashing.
When storms last hit Lakeville
Lakeville sits in the same hail corridor that runs through Burnsville and Apple Valley. NOAA storm reports put 1.25-inch hail near our Lakeville job sites on August 15, 2025, and the largest hail reported here since 2015, 1.75 inches, fell on July 3, 2023. Damaging wind has followed the same pattern, with a 64 mph gust on August 27, 2022, and a 58 mph gust on August 27, 2024. Hail that size can crack shingles and dent gutters, vent caps and AC fins without anything looking wrong from the ground.
| Date | Type | What was reported |
|---|---|---|
| Aug 15, 2025 | Hail | 1.25" hail reported |
| Jul 27, 2025 | Hail | 1" hail reported |

Permits & code in Lakeville
The City of Lakeville requires a building permit for roof replacement, applied for online through the city's permitting system. Repair King pulls the permit under our Minnesota contractor license (BC695228).
Lakeville's re-roofing guide requires a full tear-off where the existing roof has deteriorated too far to serve as a base, or where there are already two or more layers of shingles - we check this before quoting so there are no surprises once the old roof comes off.
State code requires an ice barrier extending from the eave to at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line on every re-roof, which we install and photograph as standard practice.
Around Lakeville
Lakeville grew from a road built in 1853 to connect two military forts into Dakota County's largest city, with a 2020 census population of 69,490 - Minnesota's 10th most populous city. Lake Marion has been a local landmark since 1910, when Antlers Park opened on its shore with a dance pavilion, swimming beach and boat dock, built by Colonel Marion Savage to draw riders onto his Dan Patch rail line. Our job addresses run from the courts near that lake out to the newer numbered streets on the edges of town.
