We are a Brooklyn Park-based, Black-owned, family-operated contractor holding a State of Minnesota Master Roofing Contractor license, GAF and Owens Corning certifications, and full insurance coverage.

Roofing in Edina, MN
Edina is one of the metro’s most architecturally varied cities, with housing that spans a century of construction styles. From the Tudor and Colonial Revival homes of the Country Club District — platted and built between 1924 and 1944 — to the 1960s ramblers of Countryside and the teardown-and-rebuild activity visible throughout the city today, Edina presents a wider range of roofing challenges per square mile than nearly any other community in the Twin Cities.
The city is approximately 14 to 16 miles south of our Brooklyn Park headquarters, easily reachable via Highway 100 or I-494. We work in Edina regularly enough that our crew is familiar with the specific material and design-review considerations that apply in landmark-designated areas, and with the structural realities of homes built in the 1920s through 1940s that may have original or early-replacement slate, clay tile, or wood shake beneath current shingles.
Sellers Roofing holds a State of Minnesota Master Roofing Contractor license (MN DLI), BBB Accreditation, GAF Certification, and Owens Corning Certification. We are fully insured for general liability and workers’ compensation on every project. For Edina homeowners who want a contractor with both the technical capability and the professional credentials to handle complex, high-value work correctly the first time, we are a strong fit.
The Houses We Work On in Edina
The Country Club District is the most demanding environment we work in. Of the district’s 555 homes, 507 were built between 1924 and 1944 in English Tudor, Colonial Revival, and French Provincial styles. The City of Edina’s Heritage Preservation Landmark overlay applies here — replacement shingle profiles, colors, and exposure dimensions may require design-review compliance before installation can begin. We work with homeowners to identify shingle options that satisfy both the preservation guidelines and the performance requirements of a modern installation.
Morningside is Edina’s oldest neighborhood, platted in 1905 and developed through the 1920s and 1930s with bungalows and early craftsman homes. Like Country Club homes, these structures may carry original or early-replacement roofing beneath current asphalt shingles — wood shake, clay tile, or even early-generation asphalt products. A full tear-off assessment is essential before quoting a replacement price on these homes.
Cornelia and Countryside are primarily 1960s and 1970s ramblers and split-levels — more straightforward roofing profiles, but still old enough to require decking inspection and ventilation evaluation. The Indian Hills and Parkwood Knolls areas to the southwest contain larger custom homes on generous lots, often with complex hip-and-valley geometry that demands careful flashing work and precise shingle layout. Cedar-to-architectural-shingle conversions are common in these neighborhoods, where homeowners want to replace aging wood shake with a lower-maintenance product that maintains the home’s curb appeal.
What Edina Roofs Are Up Against
Edina’s mature urban tree canopy — dense throughout the Country Club District, Cornelia, and along the Minnehaha Creek corridor — creates a persistent moss, algae, and debris problem on north- and east-facing roof slopes. Organic debris holds moisture against shingles and accelerates granule loss; moss root systems physically lift shingle tabs over time, creating entry points for wind-driven water. Routine cleaning and zinc or copper strip installation can slow the growth cycle, but eventually the shingle itself requires replacement.
The freeze-thaw cycle is a risk on any low-pitch section, and Edina’s older homes — particularly the ramblers in Cornelia and Countryside — have eave details and ventilation systems that were not designed to modern ice-dam prevention standards. We run ice-and-water shield well above the code minimum on these installations, extending the membrane further up the slope to protect the most vulnerable eave zone.
Edina was explicitly named among the cities hit by the August 11, 2023 hailstorm — one of the largest in Minnesota history — and the May 19, 2022 storm series also affected the southwest metro corridor. Hail on older, thinner shingle products can be especially destructive, and homes in the Country Club District with original or early-replacement materials deserve prompt inspection after any significant storm event.
Our Services for Edina Homeowners
Full tear-off replacements on Edina’s diverse housing stock — from Country Club Tudor homes requiring design-review-compliant shingle selections to Indian Hills custom homes with complex hip geometry. We include full decking inspection, ice-and-water shield, new pipe boots, ridge vent, and drip edge in every scope.
Targeted repairs including re-flashing at chimneys, dormers, and skylights — common in the Country Club District’s older architecture — as well as failed pipe boots, open valley seams, and wind-lifted tabs.
Written inspections covering shingle age, granule coverage, flashing condition, moss and algae presence, and hail impact evidence. Useful for real-estate transactions, insurance claims, and heritage-review documentation.
Hail documentation in the format insurers require — photos, written damage summaries, soft-metal evidence, and on-site presence during your adjuster’s inspection.
TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems for flat-roof commercial and mixed-use buildings in the Southdale and Centennial Lakes corridor and along 50th & France.
Seamless aluminum gutters installed to match the home’s profile. On older Edina homes where original gutters are undersized or failing, proper gutter sizing reduces the moisture load at the foundation and helps protect historic masonry details.
Our Process — Inspection to Final Walk
- Free Inspection & Scope — We assess the roof from the ground and on-surface, document shingle condition, flashing status, and decking concerns. For Country Club or Morningside properties, we note any design-review requirements at this stage.
- Written Estimate — Itemized estimate with material specs, labor, decking allowance, and any heritage-review fees noted. Insurance-claim scopes are aligned with adjuster line items.
- Material Selection — For landmark-area homes, we walk you through shingle options that meet preservation guidelines while delivering modern performance. For all Edina homes, we present GAF and Owens Corning architectural shingle lines with color and warranty options.
- Installation Day — Full tear-off, deck repair, underlayment and ice-and-water shield, new shingle installation, and magnetic roller cleanup at the end of every shift.
- Final Walk-Through — We review the completed work with you, confirm cleanup is thorough, and walk through the workmanship warranty before leaving.
Storm & Hail Damage in Edina
Edina was among the cities directly named in coverage of the August 11, 2023 “happy hour” hailstorm — an event that sent hail described as ping pong balls, golf balls, tennis balls, and baseballs through a corridor tracking from Plymouth through Golden Valley, St. Louis Park, and Edina. That storm was a NOAA-certified billion-dollar disaster. The May 19, 2022 storm series also hit the southwest metro corridor with quarter- to golf ball-sized hail, generating $2.6 billion in regional damage.
For homeowners in the Country Club District and Morningside, older shingle products are more susceptible to hail impact damage than current architectural grades. A bruised or cracked shingle on an 80-year-old home deserves prompt attention — water infiltration into historic wood framing is both expensive and difficult to remediate.
Sellers Roofing Company is a contractor, not a public adjuster. We document storm damage accurately, prepare a written scope, and attend your adjuster meeting when requested — but we do not take a percentage of your claim or manage your insurance relationship. Call (651) 560-6355 to set up a free storm inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need a permit to replace a roof in the Edina Country Club District?
A standard roofing permit is required in Edina. Within the Country Club Heritage Preservation District, exterior work including shingle replacement may also require review by the Heritage Preservation Commission if the work alters the visible character of the structure. We help homeowners identify which approvals apply and what documentation is needed before work begins.
My Country Club home may have original slate under the current shingles — how do you handle that?
We perform a careful assessment during the initial inspection to identify underlayment conditions. Homes from the 1924–1944 era commonly have wood shake, clay tile, or original asphalt products under current shingles. A full tear-off reveals the true decking condition, and we quote any necessary sheathing replacement before the new shingles are ordered.
What is a cedar conversion and why would I consider it?
A cedar conversion replaces aging wood shake shingles with a modern architectural asphalt or impact-resistant shingle. Cedar shake requires significant ongoing maintenance, is susceptible to moss and rot in shaded Minnesota yards, and can be difficult to insure in some markets. Architectural shingles replicate the dimensional shadow line of shake at a fraction of the long-term cost and maintenance burden, with no annual treatment requirements.
Can you match the shingle profile of my 1960s Cornelia rambler?
Yes. GAF and Owens Corning offer architectural shingle lines in a wide range of profiles and colors. We bring samples to your inspection so you can see how the options look against your home’s trim and masonry before you commit to a product.
How soon after the August 2023 storm can I still file a claim?
Minnesota insurance policies generally allow one to two years from the date of loss to file a storm damage claim, though specific timelines vary by carrier and policy language. Contact your insurer promptly and call us for a free inspection to document existing damage before any filing window closes.
