Montgomery roofing, from Fir Avenue homes to Welco Drive apartments
Repair King has inspected and repaired roofs across Montgomery, from ranch and two-story homes on Fir Avenue NE to a multi-unit apartment building on Welco Drive. Every hail hit gets chalk-marked and photographed, every soft metal gets checked, and we pull the City of Montgomery building permit before work starts.
A Welco Drive apartment building we know well
Multi-unit buildings need more than a ladder and a look. We coordinate with property management, protect tenant walkways, and document the whole roof before a single shingle comes off.
Apartment building, North Welco Drive
We inspected and re-sided this three-story apartment building on North Welco Drive, walking the roof for hail damage and photographing every elevation of the siding before beginning work, all while residents kept using the parking lot and entrances below.
The roofs we see across Montgomery
Montgomery is a small Le Sueur County city, and most of what we inspect falls into a few clear categories.
Fir Avenue NE & the older grid
Ranch and two-story homes close to downtown, several with original stone or brick veneer accents. We've inspected multiple roofs on this street alone, chalk-marking hail hits shingle by shingle.
Welco Drive & Welco Lane
A mix of single-family homes and multi-unit apartment buildings. Apartment roofs here mean coordinating around tenants and parking, not just weather.
Deer Court & newer streets
Newer construction on the edges of town, including townhome-style homes, with simpler rooflines but the same exposure to summer hail moving through Le Sueur County.
Downtown & Kolacky Days route
Montgomery's compact downtown draws thousands every summer for Kolacky Days; roofs on the buildings along the parade route tend to be older and worth a second look after any storm.
When storms last hit Montgomery
Montgomery sits in a part of Le Sueur County that sees fewer reported hail days than the metro, but the storms that do arrive can still be significant. NOAA storm reports put 1.25-inch hail near our Montgomery job sites on May 19, 2022, and 1-inch hail on May 11, 2022. A July 28, 2025 wind event snapped a large pine tree onto a house near 3rd Street and brought down multiple trees near the high school. Hail and wind at that level can crack shingle mat and bend gutters even when a roof looks fine from the driveway.

Permits for a roof replacement in Montgomery
The City of Montgomery requires a building permit for construction work, including re-roofing; homeowners can pull their own permit or have their contractor submit it, and commercial projects require a design professional under state law. Repair King pulls the permit under our Minnesota contractor license (BC695228).
Montgomery follows the Minnesota State Building Code, which requires ice-and-water barrier at eaves and proper flashing at chimneys and roof penetrations on every re-roof.
For apartment and multi-unit buildings, we confirm with the property manager or association whether the roof falls under a shared maintenance schedule before scheduling work.
Around Montgomery
Montgomery calls itself the Kolacky Capital of the World, and Kolacky Days, the festival celebrating the city's Czech heritage, dates back to 1929 and drew an estimated 6,000 people to its first celebration. The 90th Kolacky Days ran in 2024, and signs around town still read "Vitame Vas," Czech for "we welcome you." Between the homes on Fir Avenue, the apartment buildings on Welco Drive, and the water tower that marks the skyline in our aerial roof photos, our jobs cover most of what makes up this Le Sueur County town.
