Restoration & Repair Services in Hopkins, MN

Restoration and repair for Hopkins homes

Hopkins packs a lot into barely four square miles. The housing is small and close together — postwar bungalows and story-and-a-half homes on narrow lots, mixed with a large share of older rental duplexes and apartment buildings. Two things follow from that. First, the plumbing is old: galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains that fail from decades of corrosion rather than any single event. Second, proximity matters. In a building with shared walls, a fire or an overflowing tub upstairs rarely stays in one unit, so our first call here is often from a property owner with three affected tenants instead of one homeowner with one wet room.

Ungerman has served Hopkins and the wider Twin Cities since 1977. We answer live 24/7/365 for emergencies, and because we handle both the mitigation and the rebuild, one team stays with the property from the first hour through the last coat of paint — which matters when the goal is getting units habitable again.

What we handle in Hopkins

Most of our Hopkins work falls into three buckets. Emergency restoration covers water, fire and smoke, and storm and hail damage, including board-up, tarping, and full reconstruction, whether that’s a single bungalow or several units in the same building. Plumbing, heating, and cooling stays busy here given the age of the pipe in the ground and the boilers and furnaces still serving older multifamily buildings. Exterior work — roofing, siding, and windows — has to account for tight lot lines and shared walls, because you can’t stage a roof or a siding job on a narrow Hopkins lot the way you would on a half-acre suburban one.

Most emergency work is covered by your property insurance, and we document the damage and work directly with your adjuster so the claim doesn’t become your second job. For property owners and businesses along Mainstreet and the Excelsior Boulevard corridor, we handle commercial losses the same way.
