Minneapolis, MN Roofing Permit Leads: 428 Active Roofers, Phones Included (2026)

If you sell to roofing contractors — roofing-material distributors and supply houses, insurance and storm-restoration networks, roofing software and financing vendors, gutter and solar add-on companies — or you run a roofing shop and want to see exactly who is winning work across the metro, Minneapolis is one of the most reliable roofing markets in the country. The Twin Cities sit squarely in the Upper Midwest hail corridor, and a single summer storm can trigger thousands of insurance re-roofs. Almost every real roofing job pulls a permit, so this stream files steadily nearly every week.

Over the last 90 days PermitGrab indexed 439 roofing permits across Minneapolis, with 234 filed in just the last 30 days. The newest record in the category is dated June 23, 2026, and the feed refreshes as Minneapolis publishes its permit batches. City-wide, PermitGrab indexed 4,224 Minneapolis permits over the same 90 days.

The Phone-Verified Roofer List

Most lead products hand you an address and nothing to dial. This one is different. PermitGrab matches Minneapolis permit activity against Minnesota's Department of Labor & Industry contractor-licensing file so the roofers pulling these permits carry a real number. In Minneapolis that means 428 roofing contractor profiles, of which 260 carry a working, deduplicated phone number — about 61% phone coverage. That is a dial-ready roster of roofing contractors you can prove are actively working, not a stale directory.

We are deliberate about the phone count. A single busy contractor can appear on dozens of permits, but you get one number, not dozens — the figure that matters for outreach is 256 distinct business phone numbers, every one tied to a company that pulled a real Minneapolis roofing permit.

Who Is Actually Pulling the Permits

The most active roofing contractors in Minneapolis by recent permit volume include Kaufman Sheet Metal Roofing, Summit Construction Group, Sela Roofing and Remodeling, eRoof, Walker Roofing Co, Garlock French Roofing, Krech Exteriors, Legacy Restoration, J Robert Roofing, Lindus Construction, and Hoffman Weber Construction. These are real, named businesses pulling permits this quarter — not anonymized rows. Each profile on the list ties a company name to its trade, recent permit activity, and (where matched) a working phone number.

Why a Permit-Built List Beats a Bought Directory

Static contractor directories go stale the moment they ship: numbers disconnect, shops close, and you have no idea who is actually busy. A permit-built list is the opposite — it is a running record of which roofers are pulling work right now. When a roofing contractor files a tear-off or a storm re-roof in Minneapolis this week, they show up in the feed this week. That is the difference between calling a list of businesses and calling a list of businesses you can prove are working.

Freshness Is the Point

A roofing list bought a year ago is mostly disconnected numbers and out-of-business shops. This one refreshes as Minneapolis publishes — 234 roofing permits in the last 30 days alone — so the numbers you dial belong to roofers working right now.

One more thing on cost: shared lead networks resell a single homeowner to four or five contractors, so a booked job can cost $200–250 in lead fees. PermitGrab is a flat $149/month, never resold — you reach the roofing contractor, supplier, or owner the day the permit files.
