Repair King has inspected, documented or worked on 36 Woodbury properties since 2021, from 1970s homes in Evergreen to newer townhome associations near CityPlace, plus commercial buildings along Afton Road. We inspect roofs, siding and gutters after hail, pull the City of Woodbury re-roof permit, prepare HOA color submittals, and give you a photo report of everything we find.
Many Minnesota policies give you one year from the hail date. You shouldn't have to know that date, so we checked local weather and meteorology reports for you.
Local weather reports show 1.25″ hail near Woodbury on June 19, 2026. Here is the time left on that one-year mark.
One-year mark:
No 1″+ hail reported near Woodbury in the last 12 months. The last report was 1.25″ near Woodbury on June 19, 2026. If hail hits today, here is what one year really looks like:

Hail dates: local weather and meteorology reports near Woodbury. Winter: local weather records for Minneapolis-St. Paul, 30 winters, July 1996 to June 2026: an average of 107 days a year never get above 40°F (range 76 to 136). General information, not legal advice. Your policy's "Suit Against Us" section sets your actual deadline, and some claims get two years (Minn. Stat. §65A.01) instead of one (§65A.26).
Woodbury was mostly built in one long wave of master-planned subdivisions: about half of its homes date from 1990 to 2009, and the median home was built in 2000. Those houses tend to have many gables, valleys and roof-to-wall joints, and many sit under HOA architectural rules. A good Woodbury inspection covers every roof plane and all the soft metals, and a good replacement plan includes HOA approval and the city's own flashing and ice-barrier rules.
Woodbury had a little over 10,000 residents in 1980 and 75,102 at the 2020 census. Most of that growth came as planned neighborhoods. Evergreen opened for development in 1977 on a former Christmas tree farm. In 1984 Minnesota Mutual launched the 1,200-acre Wedgewood development around what is now Prestwick Golf Club, with about 1,000 housing units and more than 7.5 million cubic yards of dirt moved to shape the streets and berms. Eagle Valley grew up around the city-owned golf course that opened in 1998, and Stonemill Farms and the 100-acre CityPlace redevelopment carried the pattern east and north.
For roofs, that history means lots of similar-age shingles hitting the end of their life at the same time, on houses designed with curb appeal in mind: stacked gables, hip-and-valley garages, arched-window bump-outs and long roof-to-wall lines where siding meets shingles. Every one of those valleys and wall joints is a place where hail damage hides and where ice dams and leaks start. Many homes are also in associations that approve shingle color and style before work begins. That is why we walk and photograph every roof plane, check the metal valleys, vents, trim and gutters, and build replacements to the city's roofing handout, including kick-out flashing when new siding goes on too.
Woodbury grew in waves, and the roof problems we see follow that timeline. Knowing when a neighborhood was built tells us a lot before we set a ladder.
Started in 1977 on a former Christmas tree farm. Many original homes are now on their second or third roof, and mature pines mean more shade, moss and debris in valleys and gutters.
Minnesota Mutual's 1,200-acre development launched in 1984, with about 1,000 housing units: single-family homes, villas and detached townhomes around what is now Prestwick Golf Club. Villa and townhome roofs often fall under an association's schedule, so we coordinate with the HOA manager as well as the owner.
Grew up around the city-owned Eagle Valley Golf Course, which opened in 1998. Many of these roofs are reaching the end of their first shingle cycle, and long open fairway exposure brings more wind lift on ridge caps and rakes.
CityPlace is a 100-acre mixed-use redevelopment off I-94 with townhomes and apartments; Stonemill Farms is a master-planned neighborhood in southeast Woodbury. Expect complex rooflines, lots of valleys and architectural review committees that approve shingle color before work starts.
Most Woodbury homes are 1990s and 2000s suburban houses and townhomes, and more than a quarter of all housing units have been built since 2010. The main repair issues are complex rooflines, first-generation shingles reaching the end of their life, association rules, and brittle ash trees over roofs.
| Local factor | What we see in Woodbury | Why it matters for repairs |
|---|---|---|
| Housing age | Median year built is 2000. About 48% of housing units were built from 1990 to 2009, about 26% since 2010, and fewer than 15% before 1980 (Census ACS 2024). | The 1990s–2000s boom houses are on or near their first roof replacement, often across a whole street within a few years. |
| Townhomes & villas | About 25% of housing units are single-family attached homes: townhomes, villas and twin homes, many of them in associations. | Roof responsibility can sit with the owner or the association. Shared roof sections need matching shingles and one coordinated plan. |
| Roof shapes | Our Woodbury job photos show two-story homes with stacked gables, hips, valleys, dormers and large garage roofs. | More valleys and roof-to-wall joints mean more places for hail damage to hide and for leaks and ice dams to start. |
| Siding & soft metals | Shake-style and lap siding, often with stone accents on newer homes; vinyl on many 1980s–90s houses. Aluminum trim, metal valleys and gutter guards are common. | Hail marks trim, vents and gutters as well as shingles. The city requires kick-out flashing when siding and roofing are replaced together. |
| Trees, lakes & open ground | Eight small lakes, about 3,600 acres of city parkland and open golf-course fairways, plus ash trees affected by emerald ash borer. | The city says infested ash become brittle and hazardous, so we note dead limbs over roofs. Open fairway and lake edges take more wind. |
| Rentals & large buildings | About 24% of households rent, and about 2,700 housing units sit in buildings with 50 or more units. | Apartment and commercial roofs need low-slope and soft-metal checks, plus photo documentation that owners and property managers can share. |

Woodbury sits in one of the Twin Cities' most active hail corridors. Local storm reports put 1.25" hail near our Woodbury job sites on June 19, 2026, and 1.5" to 2" hail on September 21, 2025. Since 2015 there have been 13 days with hail of 1 inch or larger near our Woodbury jobs, and the largest was 2 inches (September 21, 2025, and again on September 20, 2022). The most recent damaging wind report was 61 mph on June 28, 2025. Hail that size can bruise shingles, crack vent caps and dent gutters and downspouts, even when nothing looks wrong from the driveway.

Our free Roof & Storm Report looks up hail and wind history for your exact address, not just the city.
Photos taken by Repair King crews at Woodbury properties. Dates are the capture dates from our job camera.
Yes. The City of Woodbury requires a building permit for a roof replacement, and a final inspection is required on every re-roofing permit. The city's own roofing handout also requires ice-dam protection 24 inches past the exterior wall line and kick-out flashing when siding and roofing are replaced together.
Repair King pulls the Woodbury permit under our Minnesota contractor license (BC695228) and schedules the city's inspections. Woodbury's Building Inspections Division, at City Hall on Valley Creek Road, issues roof, siding and window permits over the counter or by mail, with fees based on the value of the work and/or the number of squares.
Woodbury's residential roofing handout lists what inspectors look for: rotted or damaged sheathing repaired or replaced, damaged flashing replaced, shingles installed per the manufacturer, attic ventilation of 1 square foot per 300 square feet of attic, and kick-out flashing at every roof-to-wall intersection when a house is re-sided and re-roofed at the same time. On homes built before 1978, the city also asks for a lead supplement form.
Many Woodbury associations require architectural review of shingle color and style before work starts. Build that review time into your schedule; we send you the manufacturer spec sheet and color samples to include with your application.
Townhome and villa owners: check whether your association or you are responsible for the roof. We work with either one.
Woodbury has 14 outdoor warning sirens, tested at 1 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month from March through October. If they sound, the warning is for the southern half of Washington County, which is split at Highway 36. The city and county also send CodeRED phone and text alerts.
Woodbury has 63 parks on more than 3,600 acres of city land, about 180 miles of trails and eight small lakes. Neighbors know Carver Lake Park, Ojibway Park, the Tamarack Nature Preserve, Eagle Valley Golf Course, the M Health Fairview Sports Center and Central Park, the indoor park next to the library, and our Woodbury jobs are spread across the neighborhoods between them. Trees are part of the storm picture too: the city confirmed emerald ash borer in 2017 and now runs ash-removal programs, because dying ash become brittle and hazardous. After a storm, call or text and we'll schedule your inspection as fast as crews allow.
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.

Yes. The City of Woodbury requires a building permit for roof replacement and a final inspection on every re-roofing permit. Repair King pulls the permit and schedules the inspections for you.
Often, yes, especially in newer developments and townhome associations. Architectural review usually covers shingle color and style, so plan for it before you set an install date. We provide spec sheets and color samples for your application.
Local storm reports show 1.25-inch hail near Woodbury on June 19, 2026, and hail up to 2 inches on September 21, 2025. Since 2015 there have been 13 days with 1-inch or larger hail near our Woodbury jobs. Run a free Roof & Storm Report for your exact address.
Yes, when a house is re-sided and re-roofed at the same time. Woodbury's roofing handout requires kick-out flashing (diverters) at all roof-to-wall intersections in that case, plus ice-dam protection that runs 24 inches past the exterior wall line.
Deal with it before the next storm. The city says ash infested by emerald ash borer become brittle and hazardous, and it offers a Private Ash Tree Removal Assessment Program that spreads removal costs onto your property tax bill. We note overhanging dead limbs in our inspection photos.
Sign up for CodeRED alerts, which the city runs with Washington County, and listen for Woodbury's 14 outdoor sirens. The sirens are meant to be heard outdoors, so you may not hear them inside with the windows closed and the air conditioning running.
It depends on roof size, pitch, number of stories, how many valleys and gables the roof has, and the shingle line. Get a free Roof & Storm Report online for a basic range, then we confirm it with an on-site inspection.
