Townhouse roofing in minneapolis, MN
Gopher Roofing & Restoration Inc. is a licensed townhouse roofing company working across Minneapolis and St. Paul. A townhome building is not a single family house. One roof plane often covers four to twelve units. That changes how we sequence, price, and schedule the job. We handle new townhome roof installation, full roof replacement, leak repair, and storm damage work for owners, boards, and property managers. We hold a Minnesota contractor license BC794536.

Townhome Roof Replacement in Minneapolis, MN
Most townhome roofs in Minnesota last 18 to 25 years. Freeze and thaw cycles shorten that. Ice dams do the rest.
We start with an inspection of every roof plane in the building. Then we give you a written scope. It lists the decking, underlayment, shingle, and ventilation work by unit.
Townhome roof replacement is different from a single family job. Units share walls and roof lines. You cannot replace half a plane and leave the rest exposed. We plan the tear off building by building so no unit is left open overnight.
A new roof also cuts energy loss. Balanced attic ventilation and a modern shingle system hold attic temperatures steady through a Minnesota winter. Less heat escapes, and the bill drops for every unit in the building.
We check that ventilation while we are up there. Poor ventilation is why many townhome roofs fail early. Correcting it during a replacement costs very little. Correcting it later costs a lot.
Townhouse Roof Repair and Leak Detection
Not every roof needs replacing. Sometimes one flashing detail is the whole problem.
Townhome leaks are hard to trace. Water enters at one unit and appears in another. We follow the water back to its source instead of guessing.
Common causes we find:
- Failed step flashing where a roof meets a party wall
- Cracked pipe boots
- Ice dam damage along the eaves
- Valley shingles worn through
- Poor sealing around shared vents
We document everything with photos and send them before we quote. For single-unit or emergency work across the property, our Minneapolis roof repair team covers the same buildings.
HOA and Townhome Association Roofing in Minneapolis
Most of our work as a townhouse roofing company comes through associations and property managers.
A board has different needs than a homeowner. You need a number you can take to a vote. You need a schedule residents can plan around. You need one person to call.
Here is how we run association work:
- One written estimate broken out by building, so the board can phase HOA roof replacement across budget years
- A single project contact from first inspection to final walkthrough
- Written notice for residents before crews arrive
- Driveways and parking are planned in advance, so cars are not blocked in
- Daily magnet sweeps for nails in shared lots and walkways
We take the same approach to larger multi-family roofing projects across the Twin Cities. If you also manage rentals, see our apartment building roofing service.
Storm and Hail Damage Insurance Claims
Minnesota hail does not hit one unit. It hits the whole complex.
After a storm we inspect the full property, not only the units that reported damage. Then we meet the insurance adjuster on site. Our estimator walks the roof with them so nothing is missed in the scope.
We supply the photo documentation, measurements, and line item estimate your carrier needs. You are not left translating a claim on your own.
Roofing Systems We Install on Townhomes
Townhome buildings often mix roof types. A pitched shingle roof over the units, a flat section over an attached garage or entryway.
We install and service:
- Architectural asphalt shingles
- TPO single ply membrane
- EPDM rubber membrane
- Modified bitumen
- Metal flashing, valleys, and edge detail
- Gutters and downspouts sized to the roof area
Our supervisors complete continuing education on roofing and construction every year. That matters when one building needs both a steep slope and a low slope system.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a townhouse roof replacement take?
Most buildings take one to three days each. A full complex depends on how many buildings are in scope. You get a building by building schedule before we start.
Do all units in a building have to be done at once?
Yes, per building. Units share roof planes, so a partial tear-off leaves seams that leak. Across a complex, we can phase the work building by building over more than one budget year.
Who pays, the association or the individual owner?
That depends on your governing documents. In most Minnesota townhome associations, the roof is a common element, and the HOA pays. Check your declaration or ask your association attorney. We can bill either way.
Do you work with insurance after a hail storm?
Yes. We inspect the full property, meet your adjuster on site, and supply photos, measurements, and a line item estimate for the claim.
What materials do you use on townhomes?
Architectural asphalt shingles on pitched sections. TPO or EPDM membrane on flat sections such as garages and entries. We match the system to the building.
Do you only work in Minneapolis?
No. We cover the Twin Cities metro. Call us and tell us where the property is.
