Roofing Contractor in Mound, MN
That One Construction Co. is a roofing contractor serving Mound and the surrounding communities on the south shore of Lake Minnetonka. Whether you’re dealing with wind or storm damage, an aging roof, or a home that has been through this before, a roofer from That One Construction Co. can inspect your roof, give you a straight answer, and handle the work from permit to final inspection.
Fourteen thousand acres of open water, and what that means for a roof on the south shore
Lake Minnetonka covers more than 14,000 acres. Storms tracking in from the west cross that open water before they reach Mound’s shoreline, and there’s nothing slowing them down on the way. Wind that might lose energy moving over land or through tree cover arrives at full speed on the south shore. For rooflines that face the lake or sit with limited wind buffer, that’s a different exposure profile than what most inland Minnesota communities deal with.
Mound’s housing stock reflects a community that has been here a long time. The median construction year is around 1973, and more than 17% of homes were built before 1950. These aren’t homes approaching their first replacement. Many of them have had two or three roofs already. At that age and with that lake exposure, the question isn’t usually whether a roof needs attention. It’s making sure whoever handles it understands what older construction actually involves.

Two reasons Mound homeowners call a roofing contractor
Most calls to a roofing company in Mound come from one of two situations, and the path forward is different for each.
The first is weather-driven damage. Lake-facing rooflines in Mound take wind-driven rain and debris in ways that inland properties don’t, and the damage isn’t always visible from the ground. Compromised flashing, lifted shingles along the leading edge, and granule loss from repeated wind exposure can look unremarkable from the street while shortening the roof’s remaining life. A free inspection gives you an honest read on what’s actually going on before a small problem becomes a larger one. If there’s a legitimate insurance claim, That One Construction Co. handles the process: meeting the adjuster on-site, managing the estimate, and working through disputes. Roof repair from storm and wind damage is the majority of what they do.
The second is a roof that has simply run its course. On homes built in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, that conversation is less about whether and more about when. That One Construction Co. uses the same 50% threshold the insurance industry uses to evaluate when repair makes more sense than full replacement. They will tell a homeowner their roof doesn’t need replacing, even when walking away from a replacement costs them the job. Both paths start with a free inspection, no obligation.
Lake wind, freeze-thaw, and roofs that have been through this more than once
The wind exposure that comes with a south shore location isn’t just a storm-day problem. Sustained wind off the lake works on roofing materials over time, lifting shingle edges incrementally and wearing at sealant lines. On homes with older rooflines and more complex flashing details, those points of vulnerability are worth more attention than a standard inspection might give them.
Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycle compounds that over a winter. Water gets under shingles, freezes, expands, and works the shingles loose over hundreds of cycles before spring. Nailing patterns matter: shingles need room to expand and contract without buckling or cracking, and an installation that doesn’t account for that is leaving damage in place one winter at a time.
Ice dams are the other factor, and they’re a symptom of what’s happening in the attic rather than on the roof. When heat escapes through a poorly ventilated attic, it melts snow at the ridge. That water runs to the cold eave edge, refreezes, and backs up under the shingles. The ceiling stain shows up weeks later, long after the obvious connection to the roof. The fix is ventilation balance: intake at the soffit and exhaust at the ridge, keeping the attic cold so the meltwater has nowhere to collect. On an older home that may have had multiple tear-offs and several different crews over the decades, the ventilation situation is worth checking carefully. Minnesota code requires ice and water shield at the eaves for this reason.
Permits and inspections in Mound
A roofing permit is required for any full replacement in Mound, consistent with Minnesota State Building Code requirements that apply across the state. The permit process involves two inspections: one after tear-off and ice barrier installation, and a final inspection once the job is complete.
Both matter for practical reasons. Unpermitted roofing work creates title problems when you sell, and insurers have grounds to question coverage on a roof installed without a permit. That One Construction Co. pulls the permit and schedules both inspections as part of the job. No city-level restrictions on material type or shingle color apply in Mound beyond the state baseline, and Lake Minnetonka shoreline regulations do not extend to roofing materials.
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. On an older Mound home with a history of multiple tear-offs and the kind of structural details that accumulate over 60 or 70 years, that background matters. Where a roofing-only contractor sees shingles and flashing, Joe sees how the roof sits on the wall system, what prior crews left behind, and where the real vulnerabilities are. Tear-off on an old home teaches you things a newer build never will.
That One Construction Co. is ShingleMaster certified and works with CertainTeed as a preferred product. On a home that has been through multiple replacement cycles, the materials question matters as much as the installation. CertainTeed’s warranty requirements include documented installation standards, which means the certification reflects how the job is done, not just a marketing line.
Every job comes with a prep email before the crew arrives: the sequence of work, how the property will be protected, how inspections are scheduled, and what happens if anything unexpected surfaces once tear-off begins. On older homes, something unexpected sometimes does. The crew boards garage doors, runs magnet passes for nails, and protects landscaping as a stated standard. In a settled residential neighborhood like Mound, that’s not a courtesy. It’s how the job should run.
