Does anyone know a good roofer in the Waconia area? I have looked through Yahoo Local but it’s hard to know who to choose when it’s just a web listing. Have you had good experiences or bad? Share them and help others find good quality roofing companies in the Waconia area.

I personally am looking for a roofer for a smaller house. I’ve contacted five companies so far and gotten three free quotes. Some I’ve been impressed with others not so much. But then again, I’ve just met them briefly, I haven’t had a roof replaced.

If yo could share your roofing recommendations or stories below that’d be great.

The Lake Waconia Band Festival is marching into town on June 16th. The parade starts at 6pm and marches down Main Street in downtown Waconia. No floats, no clowns nothing but marching band after marching band.

I’m not sure why this is so big, but it really is. Tons of people and dozens of bands show up rain or shine. If you haven’t been to it before, it’s worth checking out. That is, unless you dislike marching bands.

If you plan to travel anywhere downtown on the 16th, be aware that I’ll be crowded and driving won’t be easy. If you live anywhere near downtown, you’ll get to hear the music if you want to or not.

I have to say that Younsteads/ Waconia Goodyear is a great fix it shop. I take my car there whenever I have an issue and they always have time open. You can call ahead, or email, for an appointment, but it doesn’t have to be far out. I’ve called on my way home before and they said “Bring it on in.”

They do everything from oil changes to fixing AC, replacing tires, belts and pretty much anything you need. They even have a tow truck if you need it. Plus they have great hours. Open from 7-7 Monday-Friday and shorter hours on Saturday. Closed Sundays. It’s really nice to have a shop that expect me to take time off work to get in.

I recommend Youngsteads as they are a good group of people and do great work.

Younsteads/ Waconia Goodyear is located just off highway 5 next to the Marathon station at the stoplight.
