Gopher Roofing & Restoration is the roofing contractor St. Anthony homeowners call for repairs, full replacements, and storm damage. Licensed, insured, and working across the north metro since 1990.
Locals call it The Village, and the name fits. Around ten thousand people, two and a third square miles, and a street grid that filled in almost entirely between 1950 and 1968. The average home here went up around 1961.
That gives St. Anthony a very particular roofline. Long one-story ramblers with shallow pitch and wide overhangs. Split-levels where two roof planes meet a sidewall. Tidy lots with mature trees hanging over the gutters.
Both of those shapes have a weak point. On a low-pitch rambler roof, water moves slowly, so underlayment and ice barrier coverage matter more than they would on a steep roof. On a split-level, the step flashing where the upper roof meets the lower wall is where leaks start. As a roofing contractor in St. Anthony, MN, those are the first two things we look at, not the last.
Roof replacement. Most St. Anthony homes are now on their second or third roof. A typical roof replacement in St. Anthony starts with a full tear-off, then a deck inspection, ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys, underlayment, new flashing, corrected ventilation, and architectural shingles. Because homes here hold their value, a lot of owners also ask about Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, which most Minnesota carriers discount. We will price both so you can compare.
Roof repair. Sometimes a roof has years left and just needs a problem solved. A failed pipe boot, a split-level sidewall that weeps during heavy rain, wind-lifted shingles along a long rambler ridge. We do roof repair in St. Anthony, MN as its own job, and we will tell you honestly if repair is the better spend.
Storm damage. Hail and straight-line wind hit this side of the metro regularly. We inspect, photograph every slope, and stand on the roof with your adjuster so nothing gets written out of the scope. Storm damage roof repair St. Anthony homeowners need is often covered, and the documentation is what decides that.
Townhomes and associations. Silver Lake Village brought a lot of townhomes and condos to the city after 2004, and associations have their own approval process and color standards. We handle townhome and association roofing with that in mind, and we work the same way across the north metro.
People stay in St. Anthony a long time. Good schools, quiet streets, so owners are often buying a roof they will personally live under for twenty years. That changes what matters. Cheapest bid is rarely the right answer here. We have worked out of the same Northeast shop since 1990, and whichever roofers in St. Anthony you shortlist, check these four things:

Yes. The City of St. Anthony issues roofing permits from City Hall at 3301 Silver Lake Road, and it has to be in hand before tear-off starts. We pull it and coordinate the inspection.
Not for the permit. St. Anthony Village sits across both Hennepin and Ramsey counties, but the roofing permit comes from the city either way. The county line only matters for your property records, not your roof.
At the step flashing, where the upper roof plane meets the lower sidewall. That junction gets skipped or reused on cheap jobs, and it shows up as a stain on an interior wall a year or two later. On any split-level here, we replace that flashing rather than reusing it.
Yes. We inspect, document with photos, and meet your adjuster on site. Having someone on the roof during that walkthrough is usually what decides whether the full scope gets approved.
Yes. Associations around Silver Lake Village have approval steps and color standards. We provide the documentation the board needs and match the approved product so your unit stays consistent with the rest.
