Higher than most — the typical roofer in Minnesota sits at 2.1%. A higher share is a reason to read the critical reviews below, not a verdict.

The common factor in those that provide poor reviews for Nokomis Roofing is the owner's rudeness. He can choose who he works for, but he showed up at the house and called us to rudely say he wouldn't work with us - he was confusing us with previous owners. We had no idea what he was talking about at first, but somehow it was our fault for not explaining to him who we were. So, we will absolutely do as you asked and take our business elsewhere.

Recently called for an estimate, the guy who answered, rudely asked why I need an estimate for insurance to get my roof done. Then he said I'm not interested.

Don’t recommend, not friendly
- 1 out of 5Levi Zortmana year ago
Very rude. I made one phone call and asked a question about insurance coverage. He misunderstood my question, hung up on me before I could explain why I meant. I believe he thought I was asking about something fraudulent, but I just wanted to know about whether we needed to increase the quote as the insurance company suggested. Either way, there’s no need to be rude. Unprofessional business behavior.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I understand that you are dissatisfied with our interaction. From my perspective, I was asked to provide a service that I believed to be fraudulent, and I made the decision not to proceed. I stand by my judgement and decision in this situation. JR

I highly recommend Nokomis Roofing. We had water intrusion during a storm last weekend that we were concerned about. JR was incredibly helpful and prompt, answering our call quickly and getting right to work to solve the issue. He took …

Called out Nokomis to inspect my flat roof section and couldn't have been more satisifed with the process. Communicative, an expert in their work, and was up-front regarding costs and whether it was worth to have done professionally. …

If you're looking for a roofer you can actually trust, call JR. He taught me a lot, told me where I should go with a cheaper fix and has already gone above and beyond to help me out with a leaky roof. This company will be the call I make for any roofing issues moving forward.

Thanks to JR and team for doing a great job on our roof. Between the flat roof installation on our dormer from a few years ago, and the just last week re-decking and re-roofing, this is by far the best roof across our 30 years of living here. We love it! Thanks again JR and team.

JR and LeeAnn and the entire team made getting a new roof feel easy and stress free. All my questions were answered promptly and I felt like I was treated fairly and respectfully throughout it. I think the price was very fair and it all …

We just had the flat roof over our sunporch replaced by Nokomis Roofing. It started leaking last fall so we called JR who came out to give us an estimate and make a temporary repair to hold us over the winter. As soon as the weather …

Can't speak highly enough about JR. He went above and beyond to help me with my roofing needs, and he clearly operates from a place of honesty and transparency. I'll certainly be going back to him in the future.

Nokomis Roofing did my roof about 8 years ago. It’s been a great roof, and when I thought I had an issue with the roof (which turned out to be unrelated to the roof - high humidity in the attic was causing condensation to form), they came out and provided advice for free.

Eight years after replacing the roof,JR stepped up and addressed a concern with my new insurance company. He had the necessary information, sent it to the company and issue was settled. When I told him about the insurance problem, he …

JR and Nokomis Roofing truly have the highest integrity and quality. We have relied on JR and Nokomis at two separate houses for roofing issues. Rather than try to upsell into work that was not required, he actually down-sold and told us honestly that we did not need a new roof and there was a less expensive solution. In fact, in his last visit - on a Saturday evening in response to a panicked call - he came out, calmed our fears, told us we did not need any work done, AND WOULD NOT ACCEPT A SINGLE CENT. We cannot recommend JR and Nokomis more - in a world where everyone is trying to pull one over on you, JR and Nokomis are in a class of their own.

We have had JR doing our winter snow roof raking since 2015. Reliability and trust are what keep us as customers. Peace of mind is worth so much to us, especially when we are lucky enough to travel during our Minnesota winters.

Where this page comes from
Every figure above is Google’s, captured on 24 September 2026. The star average and the 66 ratings behind it are counted by Google across all of its reviews. The review text on this page is a sample — we hold 66, of which 66 have any text — and it is not everything Google shows.
