Short answer: As of October 2026, the four highest-scoring roofing contractors in the St. Cloud, MN metro on The Roofing Brief Contractor Score are Lutgen Companies (93.4), Minnesota Home Improvements (73.6), CoMitted 365 Roofing & Exteriors (69.9), Legacy Restoration (67.7). All of them carry a verifiable manufacturer certification, every rating here was cross-checked against an independent record, and no money changed hands for any placement.
The Roofing Brief scored 11 certified roofing contractors serving the St. Cloud metro on a published, reproducible formula, then researched each of the top four individually to confirm its record. St Cloud sits in central Minnesota’s hail belt: 80 reports of hail an inch or larger in Stearns and Benton counties in ten years, 18 of them on a single day in May 2022. Minnesota licenses residential roofers, publishes the register, and runs a Contractor Recovery Fund, though a roofer-only licence sits outside that fund. Thirteen certified firms appear in the directory; of the top six, one does not serve St Cloud and one shows a terminated licence on the state register, so four are ranked, all based in Stearns County.
The conditions a St. Cloud roof has to be specified for
Minnesota requires residential roofers to be licensed by the Department of Labor and Industry, either with a residential roofer licence or the broader residential building contractor or remodeler licence. The difference matters. Minn. Stat. 326B.81 excludes roofer-only licensees from the Contractor Recovery Fund, which instead requires them to post a $15,000 bond. A building contractor licence brings the fund into play: up to $100,000 per owner and $550,000 per licensee, on a final judgment for licensed work. Every firm ranked here holds the building contractor licence.
Minnesota’s storm-claim rules are among the stricter ones. Under Minn. Stat. 325E.66 a contractor doing insurance-paid work may not promise to cover any part of your deductible, may not pay you for an inspection, a claim or a referral, must give an itemised good faith estimate before you authorise repairs, and may not interpret your policy or adjust your claim without a public adjuster licence. Minn. Stat. 326B.811 lets you cancel within 72 hours of being told your claim has been denied.
The City of St Cloud requires a permit for a house reroof, exempting only repairs under 100 square feet, and issues it on application at a set fee the city puts at about $61; a local news report says the council has voted to raise the combined reroof and reside permit to $200 from 1 January 2027, which we could not confirm in an adopted ordinance. Stearns and Benton counties take a 50 psf design ground snow load, not the 60 psf of neighbouring Morrison and Mille Lacs, and Minnesota is still on the 2018 International Residential Code.
Winter is long: the airport averages 47.9 inches of snow and 172 nights at or below freezing a year. The summer storm record is busy, with 98 hail reports, 94 thunderstorm wind reports and 11 tornadoes across the two counties from 2016 to 2025. The costliest single event was an EF1 through the west side of Melrose on 3 August 2024 that peeled roofs off several buildings, with $2 million of damage. The metro’s median home was built in 1985, and 51.4 percent of homes in the city of St Cloud are rented.
The 4 best roofers in St. Cloud, MN
Scored 2026-10-05. The metro mean rating used as the Bayesian prior for St. Cloud is 4.769, across a pool of 11 certified contractors.
| Rank | Company | TRB Score | Certification | Rating (reviews) | Adjusted | In business since | Based in |

1. Lutgen Companies — TRB Score 93.4
Lutgen Companies is based in St Augusta, MN, led by Sean Lutgen, CEO and owner (BBB), BBB accredited since 26 October 2018, A+ rating, no complaints in three years, and holds President’s Club standing on the GAF certification registry.
Certifications held: President’s Club (GAF), Central Minnesota Builders Association member. Certification by more than one manufacturer is uncommon and requires meeting each programme’s separate standards for insurance, training and track record.

- Accredited since 26 October 2018 with an A+ rating, business start 1988, no complaints closed in three years.. BBB business profile
What they actually do. Roofing, siding, windows and doors, gutters, decks and insulation.
Why it ranks here. The clear leader on our scoring: President’s Club certification, a 4.9 across 436 reviews, and a state licence held continuously since December 1991 with no enforcement action, from a family firm in St Augusta, five miles south of St Cloud.
Best fit for: Homeowners who want the longest-licensed local firm, and roof plus siding projects.
What we would want clarified. It began as a siding company, which is still its legal name, though roofing now leads its services. Its founding year is 1988 by BBB and 1983 in material attributed to the company. Certification tier and reviews are unverified. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.
Verify the certification yourself on the GAF registry listing. The number carried on that listing is (320) 223-7882, which is the registry’s contact line and is often a directory tracking number rather than the contractor’s own: take the number from the company’s own website and compare the two.
2. Minnesota Home Improvements — TRB Score 73.6
Minnesota Home Improvements is based in St Joseph, MN, in business since 1975, led by Andy Fischer, President and owner (BBB), BBB accredited since 28 May 2008, A+ rating, two complaints closed in three years, and holds Master Elite standing on the GAF certification registry.
Certifications held: Master Elite (GAF), Owens Corning Preferred Contractor. Certification by more than one manufacturer is uncommon and requires meeting each programme’s separate standards for insurance, training and track record.

- Listed as an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor.. Owens Corning contractor profile
What they actually do. Roofing, siding, windows and doors, gutters, storm restoration and remodelling.
Why it ranks here. Trading since 1975, with BBB and the company agreeing, based in St Joseph in Stearns County and serving Sartell, Sauk Rapids and St Joseph, with Master Elite certification and a 4.8 across 67 reviews.
Best fit for: Homeowners who want a long-established local firm that also handles interior remodelling.
What we would want clarified. Its current licence is held by an LLC formed in 2015, while BBB’s profile names the older corporation, so the brand predates the licensed entity. BBB shows two complaints closed in three years. It is a full-line remodeller rather than a roofing-only firm. Certification tier and reviews are unverified. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.

3. CoMitted 365 Roofing & Exteriors — TRB Score 69.9
CoMitted 365 Roofing & Exteriors is based in Waite Park, MN, led by Cody Nordmann and Mitchell Bednar, co-owners (BBB), BBB accredited since 24 May 2019, A+ rating, no complaints in three years, and holds Certified standing on the GAF certification registry.

What they actually do. Residential and commercial roofing, siding, gutters, windows, ice dam and roof snow removal.
Why it ranks here. A roofing-led Waite Park firm with a 4.9 across 319 reviews, a clean BBB file and published service pages for St Cloud, Sartell, Sauk Rapids and St Joseph. It also offers ice dam and roof snow removal, a real need here.
Best fit for: St Cloud and Waite Park homeowners who also want winter ice dam service.
What we would want clarified. BBB dates the business to 2018, but its licence was first issued in August 2020, and the record does not show how earlier work was licensed. The legal name is spelled Committed. It is unrelated to 365 Exteriors LLC, a different Twin Cities company whose licence was revoked in April 2026. Certification tier and reviews are unverified.

4. Legacy Restoration — TRB Score 67.7
Legacy Restoration is based in Waite Park, MN, in business since 2011, led by Cameron Baynard, CEO (BBB), BBB accredited since 6 June 2013, A+ rating, 14 complaints closed in three years, and holds Master Elite standing on the GAF certification registry.

- Accredited since 6 June 2013 with an A+ rating, about 400 employees, 14 complaints closed in three years.. BBB business profile
What they actually do. Storm and hail restoration, roof replacement, siding, windows and gutters.
Why it ranks here. A large storm-restoration company, licensed in Minnesota since 2012 and headquartered in Plymouth, with a branch office in Waite Park serving St Cloud and Master Elite certification.
Best fit for: Hail claims where a large firm’s capacity after a regional storm matters.
What we would want clarified. The state register carries an enforcement action flag on its licence; the action is not in the three years of lists the department publishes, so it is probably older, and we could not identify it. BBB shows 14 complaints closed in three years, including a customer allegation that the impact-resistant shingle in the contract was not the one installed; that is an allegation, not a finding. Its 4.5 across 54 reviews is the lowest rating we rank here, and it works across five states. Certification tier and reviews are unverified.

The 80 hail reports behind a St. Cloud roof
Aggregate hail counts tell you very little about a specific roof. These are the individual events: every severe-weather report logged by the National Weather Service across the 2 counties of the St. Cloud, MN statistical area over ten years, with the dates, the stone sizes and the towns they landed on. Over that decade the metro logged 98 hail reports, 94 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports and 11 tornadoes. Reported property damage from hail, severe wind and tornado over that decade totalled $4.5 million; flood and winter-storm losses are counted separately and are not included.
The biggest hail to fall on St. Cloud in a decade
| Date | Stone size | Reported near | County |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13 July 2023 | 3.25 in | Belgrade | Stearns |
| 26 July 2019 | 2.5 in | Sauk Rapids | Benton |
| 28 August 2021 | 2.5 in | Popple Creek | Benton |
| 9 May 2022 | 2.0 in | St Cloud | Stearns |
| 12 May 2022 | 2.0 in | Foley | Benton |
| 12 May 2022 | 2.0 in | Collegeville | Stearns |
The largest stone on record for this metro fell on 13 July 2023 near Belgrade, measured at 3.25 inches. That is baseball sized, comfortably past the point where a roof is written off rather than repaired.
Wind. The strongest thunderstorm gust logged in the metro was 70 knots, about 81 mph, near Belgrade on 19 September 2017. Asphalt shingles begin lifting at roughly 67 mph when they are correctly nailed, and considerably below that when they are not.
Tornadoes. 11 tornadoes touched down in these counties over the decade, the strongest rated EF1 near St Nicholas on 11 July 2016.
What the National Weather Service wrote about it
The NWS logs a written account of each severe-weather episode. This is its description of the 19 September 2017 event near Belgrade, reproduced verbatim:
A few dozen trees were damaged, the roof of an open sided shed was blown off, and several corn fields were damaged. This area may have been an earlier beginning point of the Belgrade tornado, but damage was too scant to be certain, and therefore this damage has been listed as thunderstorm wind damage.
That is the kind of damage a roof in this metro has to be specified against, described by the agency that recorded it rather than by a contractor selling the repair.
When it happens. Severe weather reports cluster in July (55), June (46), May (45). The worst years on record were 2022 (45), 2016 (24), 2017 (23). If you are scheduling non-urgent work in St. Cloud, the months outside that window are when crews are least stretched and least likely to be triaging emergency callouts ahead of your job.
Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database, county-level detail files 2016 to 2025, filtered to the counties of this statistical area by The Roofing Brief. Damage figures are as reported to the NWS and undercount insured losses.
What to do with this. St. Cloud sees enough damaging hail that a Class 4 impact-rated shingle is worth pricing, though not automatically worth buying. Get both quotes and weigh the premium against any insurance discount.
Central Minnesota’s hail belt
Federal storm records list 98 hail reports in Stearns and Benton counties from 2016 to 2025, 80 of them an inch or larger and 10 of two inches or more. The season is late spring and summer, with May, June and July carrying most reports.
The years are lumpy. 2022 alone produced 28 of the decade’s 80 damaging-size reports; 2024 produced two. The biggest day was 12 May 2022, when a storm cluster from South Dakota dropped hail across the central third of the state: 18 reports of an inch or more across the two counties, with 1.75 inch stones at St Cloud, Sartell, St Joseph, Avon and Waite Park and two-inch hail at Foley and Collegeville. Three days earlier a supercell had put two-inch hail on St Cloud itself.
The largest stone on the record, 3.25 inches, fell near Belgrade on 13 July 2023. On 28 August 2021 a bow echo dropped 2.5 inch hail at Popple Creek in Benton County, where NOAA records damaged siding and numerous broken windows, and hail damaged siding in Sauk Rapids the same evening.
A hail market draws storm contractors, which is where Minnesota’s rules earn their keep. Check the licence on the Department of Labor and Industry register before signing: it shows the licence class, whether it is active, and whether an enforcement action is on file. Prefer a building contractor licence to a roofer-only one if you want access to the Recovery Fund. Refuse any offer to cover your deductible, which is unlawful, and remember the 72-hour cancellation right after a denial.
Winter adds its own load. Roofs here are designed for 50 pounds per square foot of ground snow, and ice dams are a routine spring problem on older homes, so ask about ice barrier coverage and attic ventilation on any reroof, not just the shingle.

How to tell a St. Cloud roofer’s claims from their record
Licensing is required in MN. Minnesota requires a Residential Roofer licence from the Department of Labor and Industry for any residential roofing work on one to four family dwellings, unless the contractor holds a Residential Building Contractor or Residential Remodeler licence instead.
The licence requires a designated Qualifying Person who passes the roofer examination, at 70 percent, and documents roofing experience. Every licensee must carry liability cover of at least $100,000 per occurrence and $300,000 aggregate. A residential roofer licensee must also post a bond of at least $15,000 under Minn. Stat. 326B.86. The state Contractor Recovery Fund, which pays up to $100,000 per claimant, covers only contracts requiring a residential building contractor or remodeler licence: Minn. Stat. 326B.81 excludes roofer-only licences from it.
Check here: Minnesota DLI licence lookup. Check which licence the firm holds, not just that it is licensed. A residential building contractor or remodeler licence brings the Recovery Fund behind it; a roofer-only licence is backed by its $15,000 bond instead. Minn. Stat. 326B.811 also lets you cancel an insurance-funded roofing contract within 72 hours of the insurer denying the claim. Hiring an unlicensed firm forfeits both protections.
Four checks to run before you sign anything, in any state.
- Verify certification at the source. Use the GAF verification tool rather than trusting a badge image on a company website.
- Get the certificate of insurance from the insurer, not the contractor, and confirm general liability and workers compensation are both active on the day work starts.
- Confirm who pulls the permit. If a contractor asks you to pull it as the homeowner, that moves liability onto you. Decline.
- Get warranty terms in writing before any deposit, and check the manufacturer warranty being promised actually requires the certification tier the contractor holds.
Who else is certified in St. Cloud
11 certified roofing contractors serve the principal cities of the St. Cloud, MN statistical area, of which 1 hold the top President’s Club tier. The pool carries 1,050 customer reviews between them at a mean rating of 4.769. The statistical area had a 2024 population of 205,878, a change of 3.11% against the 2020 census base, per the U.S. Census Bureau Vintage 2024 estimates.
How these St. Cloud rankings were produced
Every contractor in the St. Cloud, MN pool was scored out of 100 on four published components: certification tier, a Bayesian adjusted rating, review depth and distance from the metro centre. In this metro that meant scoring 11 certified contractors, of whom 1 hold President’s Club standing and 2 Master Elite, against a metro mean rating of 4.769. The top four were then researched individually against Better Business Bureau records, state licence registers and manufacturer directories. Good and bad findings are published together, and no contractor paid for a place here.
Set aside in St. Cloud. Contractors that would otherwise have scored into the top four were removed for the reason stated. The score is computed from public data, but where the research pass finds evidence undermining an input to that score, the score is set aside.
- Perfect Exteriors of Minnesota LLC, which scored 89.4: Excluded on service area, not on quality: it is licensed in good standing and BBB accredited since 2009, but it is based in Monticello in Wright County, outside the metro, and its published service area covers Monticello, Becker, Big Lake and the Twin Cities suburbs without naming St Cloud or any Stearns or Benton County city.
- Rival Roofing LLC, which scored 71.7: Excluded because we could not find an active licence. Minnesota requires a residential roofer to be licensed, and the Department of Labor and Industry register shows this St Cloud firm’s only contractor licence in Voluntary Termination status; we found no replacement licence under the company, the owner or the address. The owner’s individual qualifying builder registration is still active, but that is not a contractor licence. This is a register status, not a finding of wrongdoing, and the firm may have relicensed under a name we did not search.
Why this list stops at 4. Two of the certified firms that scored into the top five were set aside for the reasons above, and the next firm down the pool is not one our research pass covered, so we rank the four we could verify rather than promote a firm we have not checked.
The full method, the weightings, what the GAF certification tiers actually mean, who is eligible to be ranked and what we do not claim are all set out on our roofer ranking methodology page.

What St. Cloud homeowners want to know
Who is the best roofer in St. Cloud, MN?
Lutgen Companies of St Augusta, MN scores highest in the St. Cloud metro on The Roofing Brief Contractor Score, at 93.4 out of 100 as of October 2026. It holds President’s Club certification with a 4.9 rating across 436 reviews. Highest-scoring is not the same as best fit for your specific job, and the three companies behind it score within 25.7 points.
How many certified roofing contractors serve St. Cloud?
11 contractors on the GAF certification registry serve the principal cities of the St. Cloud, MN statistical area as of October 2026, of which 1 hold President’s Club status.
How much damaging hail does St. Cloud get?
The St. Cloud, MN statistical area recorded 80 hail reports of 1 inch or larger and 10 of 2 inches or larger between 2016 and 2025 in the NOAA Storm Events Database. The largest hailstone reported measured 3.25 inches.
Did any contractor pay to appear on this list?
No. The Roofing Brief takes no placement fees, no lead fees and no affiliate commission from any roofing contractor. Ranking comes entirely from the published formula applied to public registry data, followed by an individual research pass on the top four.
What was the worst hailstorm in St. Cloud in the last ten years?
The largest hailstone logged by the National Weather Service in the St. Cloud, MN statistical area between 2016 and 2025 measured 3.25 inches, reported near Belgrade on 13 July 2023. That is baseball sized, comfortably past the point where a roof is written off rather than repaired. Across the decade the metro recorded 98 hail reports. Reported property damage from hail, severe wind and tornado over that decade totalled $4.5 million; flood and winter-storm losses are counted separately and are not included.
When is the worst time of year for roof damage in St. Cloud?
Severe-weather reports in the St. Cloud, MN statistical area cluster in July, June, May, on the NOAA record for 2016 to 2025. Scheduling discretionary work away from that window tends to get you a better crew and a faster start, because nobody is juggling emergency callouts.
Do roofers need a licence in MN?
Minnesota requires a Residential Roofer licence from the Department of Labor and Industry for any residential roofing work on one to four family dwellings, unless the contractor holds a Residential Building Contractor or Residential Remodeler licence instead. The licence requires a designated Qualifying Person who passes the roofer examination, at 70 percent, and documents roofing experience. Every licensee must carry liability cover of at least $100,000 per occurrence and $300,000 aggregate. A residential roofer licensee must also post a bond of at least $15,000 under Minn. Stat. 326B.86. The state Contractor Recovery Fund, which pays up to $100,000 per claimant, covers only contracts requiring a residential building contractor or remodeler licence: Minn. Stat. 326B.81 excludes roofer-only licences from it.
What should I check before hiring a roofer in St. Cloud?
Check which licence the firm holds, not just that it is licensed. A residential building contractor or remodeler licence brings the Recovery Fund behind it; a roofer-only licence is backed by its $15,000 bond instead. Minn. Stat. 326B.811 also lets you cancel an insurance-funded roofing contract within 72 hours of the insurer denying the claim. Hiring an unlicensed firm forfeits both protections.
Central Minnesota’s hail belt?
Federal storm records list 98 hail reports in Stearns and Benton counties from 2016 to 2025, 80 of them an inch or larger and 10 of two inches or more. The season is late spring and summer, with May, June and July carrying most reports.
Is St. Cloud a hard market to find a good roofer in?
St Cloud sits in central Minnesota’s hail belt: 80 reports of hail an inch or larger in Stearns and Benton counties in ten years, 18 of them on a single day in May 2022. Minnesota licenses residential roofers, publishes the register, and runs a Contractor Recovery Fund, though a roofer-only licence sits outside that fund. Thirteen certified firms appear in the directory; of the top six, one does not serve St Cloud and one shows a terminated licence on the state register, so four are ranked, all based in Stearns County.
Why is Perfect Exteriors of Minnesota LLC not on this list?
Excluded on service area, not on quality: it is licensed in good standing and BBB accredited since 2009, but it is based in Monticello in Wright County, outside the metro, and its published service area covers Monticello, Becker, Big Lake and the Twin Cities suburbs without naming St Cloud or any Stearns or Benton County city..
