Roofing Contractor in Loretto, MN
That One Construction Co. is a roofing contractor serving Loretto and the surrounding communities in Hennepin County. Whether you’re dealing with storm damage, an aging roof, or just not sure what you’re looking at, a roofer from That One Construction Co. can inspect what’s actually there, give you a straight answer, and handle the work from permit to final inspection.
Loretto is a small community along Highway 55 in western Hennepin County, with a housing stock that skews newer than the state average. Most homes here are detached single-family, owner-occupied, and in solid shape. That doesn’t mean roofs last forever. Standard asphalt shingles are rated for 25 to 30 years, and Minnesota’s climate is harder on exterior materials than most of the country. A roof that looks fine from the street can be losing years to freeze-thaw cycling, granule wear, and ventilation problems that aren’t visible until something goes wrong.

Two reasons Loretto homeowners call a roofing contractor
Most calls to a roofing company start with one of two situations, and the path forward is different for each.
The first is storm damage. Loretto sits in the northwest metro severe weather corridor and sees the same hail and wind events that affect the broader region. Storm damage isn’t always visible from the ground. Granule loss, cracked shingles, and compromised flashing can look like nothing from the street while quietly shortening the roof’s remaining life by years. The right first step is a free inspection from someone who knows what hail damage actually looks like. If there’s a legitimate claim, That One Construction Co. handles the process: meeting the adjuster on-site, managing estimate submission, and working through disputes so you’re not navigating it alone.
The second situation is a roof that has simply run its course. No storm event, just age and weather accumulating over time. The conversation starts the same way: a free inspection and an honest read on what’s actually there. That One Construction Co. uses the same 50% threshold the insurance industry uses to weigh repair against replacement. They will tell you if your roof doesn’t need replacing, even when that costs them the job.
What a Loretto roof actually deals with
Minnesota’s climate is hard on exterior materials in ways that aren’t always obvious. The freeze-thaw cycle is the primary one. Water gets under shingles, freezes, expands, and works them loose over hundreds of cycles in a single winter. Nailing patterns matter here because shingles need enough play to expand and contract without buckling or cracking. A roofer who installs shingles the same way they would in a warmer climate is setting the homeowner up for problems.
Ice dams are a related issue, and they’re a symptom of attic ventilation problems rather than a shingle problem. When heat escapes through an underventilated attic, it melts snow at the ridge, the water runs down to the cold eave edge, refreezes, and backs up under the shingles. The damage shows up as ceiling stains weeks or months later, long after the connection to the roof is obvious. The fix is balanced ventilation: intake at the soffit, exhaust at the ridge, so the attic stays cold and snowmelt runs off cleanly. Minnesota code requires ice and water shield at the eaves for exactly this reason.
Permits and inspections in Loretto
A permit is required for any full roof replacement in Loretto, consistent with the Minnesota State Building Code. Small cities in Hennepin County often contract their building inspection services regionally rather than maintaining a standalone department, which means the permit and inspection process runs through a shared or county-level provider. Either way, the requirements are the same: a permit before work starts, an inspection after tear-off and ice barrier installation, and a final inspection after the job is complete.
Unpermitted roofing work causes problems at closing and can affect insurance coverage. That One Construction Co. pulls permits and schedules both inspections as part of every job.
Why That One Construction Co.
Joe Huber spent years building homes from the ground up in Wright County and Sherburne County before focusing on exterior contracting. That background changes what a roof inspection actually covers. Where a contractor who only knows one trade sees shingles and flashing, Joe sees how the roof sits on the wall system, whether the attic ventilation is balanced, and what the drainage pattern tells you about gutter placement. Thirty years of tear-offs teaches you every way the previous crew cut corners, and he trains his team to look for the same things.
That One Construction Co. is ShingleMaster certified and works with CertainTeed as its preferred product line. The certification matters because it means the installation qualifies for the manufacturer’s full warranty tier, which a non-certified contractor can’t offer regardless of what shingles they’re using. On a roof that needs to last another 25 to 30 years, that distinction is worth understanding before you hire anyone.
The company is privately owned with no outside investors. Private equity has been acquiring roofing contractors across the metro for years. The incentive structure in a PE-owned company tends to pressure materials quality and crew time in ways that don’t show up until years later. That One Construction Co. is not that, and it’s built to stay that way.
