Multi-Family Roofing, Run Like a Capital Project
Roof replacement, restoration, and capital planning for apartment communities, condominiums, and commercial property — documented, phased, and built for the freeze-thaw. Twin Cities metro and central Wisconsin.
What We Handle for Owners and Managers
One contractor for the whole exterior envelope — from low-slope membrane to steep-slope shingle.
Roof Replacement
Low-slope TPO and EPDM, steep-slope architectural and Class 4 impact-resistant shingle, and standing seam metal. Full tear-off, deck repair, and manufacturer-certified installation.
Flat / TPO / EPDM →Restoration & Major Repair
Flashing, parapet and penetration detailing, and storm and hail damage restoration that extends roof life and protects the buildings under it.
Storm Damage →Capital Planning
Free condition assessments and phased, multi-building scopes you can budget against — with documentation built for ownership, lenders, and insurance.
What You Get →Exterior Envelope
Siding, gutters, and full envelope work, so you can address the whole building with one accountable contractor instead of three.
Gutters →Why Multi-Family Roofs Here Wear Out Early
Climate is why proactive owners plan replacements before the weather forces the call.
Freeze-Thaw Cycling
Deep winter freezes and rapid spring thaws expand and contract membranes, stressing every seam, adhesive, and flashing detail.
Ice Damming
Snow load and ice drive water up beneath shingles, rotting decking and underlayment from above before a leak ever shows inside.
Earlier End-of-Life
Multi-family roofs in this climate reach replacement sooner than identical buildings in milder regions. The window to plan is before the leak.
How We Run a Project
Built for occupied buildings — we work around your residents and report to you, not around you.
No-Cost Assessment
We walk and photo-document the roof, section by section, and give you an honest read on remaining life.
Written Scope & Bid
Good, better, and best options with budget ranges and clear pricing — easy to compare and to take to ownership.
Phased Schedule
Staged material drops and crane staging, sequenced building by building to protect occupancy and cash flow.
Clean Execution
Daily magnet sweeps, resident communication, a final walkthrough, warranty, and complete documentation.
