BLOOMINGTON, MN – November 10, 2026 – Twin Cities Roofing & Contracting Inc., a roofing company on West 98th Street in Bloomington, is sharing Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) house price figures for the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington metro area, along with guidance for homeowners deciding whether an aging or storm-damaged roof needs repair or replacement.
The figures come from the FHFA’s quarterly all-transactions House Price Index, which measures changes in single-family home values from repeat sales and refinancings of the same properties.
Twin Cities Home Values
A year-over-year gain of about 2.6 percent left the Minneapolis-area index at 367.67 in the second quarter of 2026, compared with 358.35 in the second quarter of 2025. It was 359.74 in the fourth quarter of 2025 and 362.60 in the first quarter of 2026, with most of the year’s gain coming in the first half of 2026.
The index shows how values changed over time across the metro area. It is not a sale price for any single home.
Signs a Roof Needs Attention
The company’s website points homeowners to a few visible signs: missing, curling or damaged shingles, heavy granule loss in the gutters, and active leaks or water stains on ceilings and walls. After a major hailstorm, homeowners should look for dark round spots on shingles, bruising or significant granule loss. Heavy ice dams along the gutters every winter can point to failing ventilation or insulation. The company recommends an inspection soon after storm damage, noting that Minnesota homeowners generally have one to two years from the storm date to file an insurance claim.
What Affects How Long a Roof Lasts
Roof life depends on materials, ventilation and weather. The International Residential Code calls for balanced attic intake and exhaust, and the company says its crews often find older Twin Cities homes with no intake vents at all, which traps heat and moisture. High winds, hail, heavy snow and ice dams add wear, and installation quality matters, since good materials can fail early if they are not installed to manufacturer specifications and local codes.
What Happens During a Replacement
According to the company, most average-sized asphalt shingle replacements take one to two days, depending on square footage, pitch, materials and weather. The crew tarps landscaping and driveways, strips the old roofing to the wood deck and replaces rotted plywood. It lays ice and water shield from the lowest edges to at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line and in valleys, followed by synthetic felt, vents, flashings and shingles. Magnetic sweeps pick up nails at the end of the job. Cost depends on square footage, pitch, materials, complexity and local permits.
