Roofing Contractor in Andover, MN
That One Construction Co. is a roofing company serving Andover and the northern Twin Cities metro. If you need a roofing contractor in Andover — whether you’re dealing with storm damage, an aging roof, or just want to know where things stand — a roofer from That One Construction Co. will give you a straight answer and handle the work from permit to final inspection.
Andover is almost entirely owner-occupied, detached single-family homes, built out mostly between 1985 and 1999. That wave is now 25 to 40 years old. Standard asphalt shingles are rated for 25 to 30 years. If your home is from that era and hasn’t had a full replacement, you’re in the window where one hard winter or one hail season moves things from “keep an eye on it” to “it’s time.” A lot of your neighbors are in the same position right now.

You don't need to know what you have before you call
Storm damage and an aging roof can look similar from the ground. Both show granule loss, curling edges, and soft spots at the valleys. The path forward is different for each, but figuring that out is That One Construction Co.’s job, not yours.
The inspection is free. A roofer from That One Construction Co. will get up there, tell you what’s actually going on, and give you a clear answer about what you’re dealing with. If there’s storm damage worth claiming, they handle the insurance process: meeting the adjuster on-site, managing estimate submission, working through disputes. If it’s an aging roof past its service life, they’ll tell you that too. And if the roof has more life in it than you thought, they’ll say that as well. That One Construction Co. uses the same 50% threshold the insurance industry applies when weighing repair against full replacement. They will walk away from a sale if the roof doesn’t need replacing.
Andover winters and what they do to a roof
Freeze-thaw cycling is the dominant force on any roof in this part of the state. Water finds its way under shingles, freezes, expands, and works the shingles loose over hundreds of cycles across a single winter. Nailing patterns matter here because shingles need enough play to expand and contract without cracking. A crew that installs shingles the same way in Minnesota as they would in a warmer climate will leave you with problems within a decade.
Ice dams are what happens when attic ventilation is wrong. Heat escapes through the roof deck, melts snow at the ridge, and that water runs down to the cold eave edge where it refreezes and builds up. Eventually it backs under the shingles. The damage shows up as ceiling stains months after the fact, well 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 has nowhere to collect. Most contractors replace shingles without checking this. That One Construction Co. does check it, because 30 years of tear-offs shows you that most premature failures trace back to ventilation, not shingle quality. Minnesota code requires ice and water shield at the eaves. In Andover, that’s not optional.
Permits in Andover -- and why the process here is better than most
Every full roof replacement in Andover requires a permit, consistent with the Minnesota State Building Code. What’s notable about Andover is the turnaround: the building department typically reviews and approves residential roofing permits within one to two business days, faster than most cities in the metro. Permits can be submitted online, by email, or in person at City Hall on Crosstown Boulevard.
Two inspections are required: one after tear-off and ice barrier installation, and a final after completion. Unpermitted roofing work creates problems at sale — title companies flag it — and gives insurers grounds to question coverage down the road. That One Construction Co. pulls permits and handles inspections as part of every job. If a contractor tells you permitting is your responsibility or that you don’t need one, that’s a signal.
Why homeowners in Andover hire That One Construction Co.
That One Construction Co. is ShingleMaster certified and works primarily with CertainTeed products. That certification means the installation meets a documented standard, and CertainTeed’s warranty covers both the material and the labor together — a different category of protection than a manufacturer warranty on shingles installed by an uncertified crew.
Before any job starts, That One Construction Co. sends a prep email: when the crew arrives, what the site will look like, how long tear-off takes, when inspections happen, and what the homeowner needs to do — or not do — during the work. Most roofing contractors don’t do this, and for a homeowner going through a full replacement for the first time, it makes a real difference.
The company is independently owned, no outside investors. Private equity has been buying roofing companies across the metro, and the incentive structure in those shops runs toward margin — pressure on materials and crew time. Joe Huber owns That One Construction Co. and has been doing this work for 30 years. How jobs get run is his call.
Why That One Construction Co. Is the right Albertville roofer
Joe Huber spent years building homes from the ground up in Wright County and Sherburne County before focusing on exterior contracting. For Albertville homeowners, that’s directly relevant: we aren’t just familiar with the region’s weather, we helped build the neighborhoods. That background changes how Joe looks at a roof. He sees how the roof sits on the wall system, whether the attic ventilation is balanced, where drainage goes, and what the grade of the yard tells you about gutter placement. Where a roofing contractor who only knows one trade sees shingles, Joe sees the whole house.
Before any job starts, we send a prep email: when the crew arrives, what the work looks like each day, how long tear-off takes, when inspections happen, and what the homeowner needs to do or not do during the process. For someone going through a full replacement for the first time, this matters. The goal is that nothing about the job comes as a surprise.
That One Construction Co. is independently owned with no outside investors. Private equity has been acquiring roofing companies across the metro for years. The incentive structure in those shops runs toward volume and margin. Joe makes his own decisions about materials, crew time, and how jobs get run. That’s not a small distinction when you’re choosing who to trust with a first major repair on a home you’ve owned for 20 years.
