We keep a facility open during a roof replacement by phasing the tear-off into sections small enough to dry-in and cover before a shift change or weather turns, and by scheduling the loudest work — demo and fastening — around your operating hours rather than ours. On multi-tenant and occupied buildings we stage material delivery and dumpster placement away from entrances, loading docks, and parking used by customers or staff.
For retail, medical, and hospitality properties we can run night or weekend crews so tear-off and dry-in happen while the building is closed, with membrane and flashing work finished during the day. You get a written phasing plan before any work starts, not a verbal promise.

- ✓Night, weekend, or off-hours crews available on request

The right system depends on your roof's slope, deck type, rooftop equipment load, and how long you plan to hold the property. TPO and EPDM single-ply membranes are the most common low-slope choices in the Twin Cities because they perform well through freeze-thaw cycles and are the fastest to install over an existing deck. Standing-seam metal costs more up front but sheds snow and hail with the least long-term maintenance, which is why we see it most on ag buildings, schools, and steep-slope churches — where steeple, dome, and stained-glass work changes the detailing as much as the material does.
Modified bitumen remains the right call on roofs with heavy foot traffic or dense mechanical equipment because its multi-ply construction tolerates point loads and repeated access better than a single membrane. We'll walk your roof, check the deck and insulation, and recommend a system based on what we actually find — not a default answer.
Yes — commercial property policies typically cover roof damage from hail, wind, and other storm events, minus your deductible, once the damage is documented and the claim is filed within your carrier's timeline. Low-slope membranes hide impact damage well, so a roof that looks fine from the ground can still have hail bruising or wind-lifted seams that will leak within a year.
We inspect the full roof plane, document every impact mark and seam issue with dated photos, and meet your adjuster on site. Our claims are approved at a 99% companywide rate because the documentation is thorough the first time.
