CertainTeed ShingleMaster PREMIER since 2019 Licensed & insured · MN Lic. #BC794203 Who We Are
An established restoration company — not just a roofing crew
Since 2011, Smart Builders has completed more than 3,500 residential and commercial projects across the Twin Cities metro — roofing, siding, windows, and gutters, from standard asphalt replacements to Brava composite systems, designer shingles, and multi-building commercial restorations.
Storm and insurance restoration is the core of what we do. We're the contractor homeowners call when the claim was denied, the scope came up short, or the project is too complicated for the door-knockers — and we've built our process around thorough inspections and documentation that holds up.
And when you call, a real person answers. Inquiries are typically answered within about five minutes during business hours.

Reviews
What our customers say
★★★★★
“Isaac at Smart Builders returned my call within the hour. He showed up the following day when he said that he would. He troubleshot the problem and quickly corrected it. Fantastic service, highly recommend Smart Builders Group!”
★★★★★
“After a big hail storm, we were denied by our insurance when another contractor assisted us. Smart Builders not only got my roof approved, but also my siding. Ben was awesome communicating every step of the process and made it really smooth and easy to get this project completed!”
★★★★★
“After the insurance claim was approved for significantly less than the needed repairs, Ben recommended a re-inspection and got us approved for the needed repair. He made the overall process seamless, working with the insurance company and coordinating the repairs.”
★★★★★
“Very pleased with their service. Worked with Ben who was great and very responsive. It made the whole experience so easy. Definitely recommend them for any roof installation.”
★★★★★
“Ben did a great job dealing with the insurance company. If I called, he responded almost immediately. The company did a great job and left my yard spotless — dumpsters and materials were removed within hours of the job being completed.”
★★★★★
“Excellent service for storm repair: roof, siding, windows, gutters. Professional representation during many calls with the insurance company. Competent and respectful crews. Absolutely the most enjoyable and stress-free project for us!”
