Apartment Building Roofing in Minneapolis, MN
Updating the roof on your apartment complex is one of the best things you can do for your building, but it’s also one of the best things you can do for your tenants. A new roof not only enhances the look of your property, helping to draw in new tenants, it also keeps leaks and damage at bay, which is something existing tenants will appreciate.
Not all roofers know how to ensure that your buildings are up to code, energy-efficient, and stylish. For professional apartment roof installation in Minneapolis, contact Gopher Roofing and Restoration Inc.
Whether you’re dealing with roof damage, having new apartment complexes built, or want to upgrade your existing properties with a durable and energy-saving roof, we can help.
Why Property Managers Choose Gopher Roofing for Apartment Buildings
Apartment and multifamily roofing isn’t the same job as a single-family reroof — you’re managing tenants, leases, and liability, not just a roof. Our crews are used to working on occupied buildings: we phase the work, keep common areas clear, and coordinate timing directly with you or your property management team so residents aren’t caught off guard.
We handle everything from single-building repairs to full multi-building reroofing projects, and we carry the licensing and insurance (MN License #BC794536) that property owners and HOAs need on file.
Roofing Services for Apartment Complexes
Most apartment buildings in the Twin Cities have flat or low-slope roofs, which need different systems than a pitched residential roof:
- TPO — energy-efficient and one of the most common choices for flat apartment roofs.
- EPDM — a rubber membrane built to handle Minnesota’s freeze-thaw winters.
- Modified Bitumen — holds up well on roofs with regular foot traffic from maintenance access.
We’ll recommend the system that fits your building’s age, budget, and how long you plan to hold the property.
Our Process for Occupied Apartment Buildings
- Inspection — we assess the roof and talk through tenant logistics with you.
- Proposal — a written scope, phasing plan, and price before anything starts.
- Phased Installation — building by building, or wing by wing, so residents aren’t displaced.
- Walkthrough & Documentation — a final review plus paperwork for your ownership or HOA records.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How much does it cost to reroof an apartment building in Minneapolis?
Cost depends on the building’s size, number of units, roof type, and current condition. Multi-building properties are usually priced per building or phase. We provide a free inspection and a written estimate so you can budget accurately.
Can you work on the roof while tenants are still living in the building?
Yes — most of our apartment roofing projects happen with tenants in place. We plan the work in phases, keep noise and debris contained, and coordinate timing with property management so daily life isn’t disrupted.
How do you handle multi-building or phased apartment complex projects?
We work with you to sequence the project building by building, or wing by wing, so you’re never left with multiple roofs open at once. You get one schedule and one point of contact for the whole property.
What roofing system works best for a flat apartment roof?
TPO and EPDM are the most common choices for flat or low-slope apartment roofs — both hold up well through Minnesota winters. The right one depends on your building’s size, budget, and how long you plan to hold the property.
Do you coordinate directly with property managers and HOAs?
Yes. We’re used to working with property managers, HOA boards, and building owners — including scheduling around lease terms, notifying tenants, and providing documentation for ownership or association records.
How long does an apartment roof replacement take?
A single building typically takes a few days to about two weeks depending on size and roof type. Multi-building properties take longer since we phase the work — we’ll give you a realistic timeline after inspection.
Do you offer warranties on apartment and multifamily roofing work?
Yes. We back our installation and repair work with a workmanship warranty, in addition to the manufacturer’s warranty on materials.
