Multi-Family Roofing and Exterior

Apartment complexes, condo communities, and townhome developments have one thing in common that makes them different from every other kind of exterior work we do: people are home. Kids are napping. Third-shift workers are sleeping. Pets are anxious. Cars are in the driveway because the tenant has nowhere else to park them. We have been doing occupied-property roofing and exterior work for long enough to know that the job is half the roof and half the coordination.

Occupied-Property Discipline

A crew that works well on a vacant construction site is not automatically ready to work above a one-bedroom with a sleeping infant. We train specifically for occupied work — slower start times, controlled tear-off, and crews that understand that a dropped bundle of shingles at 6:45 AM is going to generate a call to the property manager.

• Tenant notification at 48 hours and 24 hours before work starts on a specific building.
• Noise-window compliance — most cities and many HOAs have start-time rules, and we follow them.
• Controlled tear-off with tarps over patios, AC units, and landscape so debris does not land where tenants live.
• Dumpster and material staging placed to minimize lost parking spots, with signage to redirect tenants.

What We Build and Repair

Most multi-family buildings combine a low-slope roof over the central structure with sloped shingle sections on the perimeter, and we work both systems regularly.

• Asphalt shingle replacement on pitched roofs, including architectural and impact-rated products where insurance or hail zones justify them.
• Low-slope TPO and EPDM for flat sections over common areas, stairwells, and breezeways.
• Gutters and downspouts, oversized where roof area demands it, with leaf protection where trees are a problem.
• Siding, trim, and paint integrated into the same project when the storm or the age demands it.
• Balcony and walkway waterproofing on buildings with elevated decks over living space below.

Debris Control and Tenant Property

The single most common multi-family complaint is debris — a nail in a tire, shingle granules in a pool, a torn-off valley that landed on a patio grill. We take debris control seriously because we have to. Magnetic sweeps at every driveway, tarping of patios and landscape, daily pickup, and a pre- and post-condition walk with the property manager.

• Magnetic nail sweeps on every parking lane at the end of every working day.
• Patio, AC, and pool tarping before tear-off starts overhead.
• Pre-job photo walk with the property manager so damage claims can be evaluated honestly.
• Resident hotline during the project for complaints and questions.

Working With Property Management

We report to whoever you want us to report to — the property manager, the regional, the owner's rep, or the HOA board. Weekly written updates, a shared job-site photo log, and fast response to the inevitable mid-project surprises. If an adjuster needs to walk a roof, we will meet them. If a tenant wants a door hanger explaining why we are on their roof, we will print it.

Schedule a Multi-Family Assessment

If you manage or own apartment, condo, or townhome property and need a roof replacement, storm claim, or a broader exterior scope, we will come walk the property and write you a proposal that reflects what occupied work actually costs.
