Commercial Roofing Systems We Install

Commercial buildings use a different set of roofing systems than residential homes. Most commercial structures have flat or low-slope roofs that require specialized materials and drainage engineering.

Flat / Low-Slope

TPO Membrane

Thermoplastic Polyolefin — industry standard

White reflective membrane that reduces cooling costs, resists punctures, and handles UV better than black membranes. The current standard for modern commercial flat roofs in the Black Hills.

Best for: Modern commercial flat roofs, energy-efficient builds

Flat / Low-Slope

EPDM Rubber

Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer membrane

Durable synthetic rubber membrane with excellent performance in Black Hills temperature swings from -30°F to +120°F. Lower cost than TPO with solid long-term durability for large flat areas.

Best for: Budget-conscious flat roofs, large square footage

Low-Slope

Modified Bitumen

Layered asphalt system for commercial applications

Multi-layer asphalt system built up on-site. Excellent for roofs that receive foot traffic for HVAC access and rooftop equipment maintenance. Very durable under mechanical stress.

Best for: HVAC-access roofs, rooftop mechanical equipment

Steep-Slope

Standing Seam Metal

Concealed-fastener metal panels, 50+ year life

For commercial and mixed-use buildings with pitched roofs. Lifetime durability, premium aesthetic, and exceptional performance under heavy snow loads at elevation. Eliminates future replacement cycles.

Best for: Pitched commercial roofs, premium aesthetic requirements

Multi-Family Residential

Asphalt Shingles

Class 4 impact-resistant, hail-tested

For multi-family residential buildings — apartments, townhomes, condos — with standard residential roof pitches. We install Class 4 impact-resistant shingles that often qualify for insurance premium discounts.

Best for: Apartment complexes, condos, townhome communities

Why Multi-Family Projects Are Different

A 30-unit apartment complex is not the same as 30 individual houses. The roofing scope is larger, the logistics are more complex, and the stakes are higher.

Tenant Communication

We provide written notice templates for your tenants explaining work schedules, noise expectations, and parking adjustments — so you don't have to field every complaint call.

Debris Management

Commercial jobs produce more waste. We bring appropriately sized dumpsters and maintain clean grounds throughout. No loose nails in the parking lot — ever.

Code Compliance

Multi-family buildings in Rapid City are subject to different fire codes, egress requirements, and structural standards than single-family homes. We know the codes and pull the right permits.

Daily Progress Reports

We update your management team daily on progress, weather delays, and schedule changes. No waiting for callbacks or chasing your contractor for status.

Phased Scheduling

We work building by building so tenants in unaffected buildings aren't disrupted. No shutting down the entire complex for a week. Here's how a typical phased multi-family project runs:

  • Pre-project: Full property inspection, single comprehensive scope of work, permits pulled for all buildings
  • Phase 1: Start with the worst-damaged or most urgent building — 1 to 2 day install per structure
  • Phase 2-N: Move building by building, maintaining tenant notice 24–48 hours in advance of each phase
  • Closeout: Final walkthrough on all buildings, cleanup certification, insurance paperwork submitted

A 10-building complex with standard asphalt shingles typically takes 2 to 3 weeks when weather cooperates. We provide a detailed schedule at the start and update you daily on progress.

One Storm. One Claim. Every Building Covered.

Most contractors file a separate claim for each building. We treat your entire complex as one storm event with one inspection report, one adjuster meeting, and one coordinated claim. You get better coverage and half the headaches.

How We Handle Commercial Insurance Claims

Most roofing contractors treat each building as a separate project with separate inspections, separate claims, and separate timelines. We inspect every building, document all damage in a single comprehensive report, and work with your insurance carrier to process it as one coordinated claim event.

  • Single comprehensive damage report covering all buildings delivered within 48 hours of inspection.
  • We meet the adjuster at your property and walk them through every building same advocate approach as residential claims
  • Supplement filing if any buildings or damage items were missed in the initial adjuster estimate
  • Complete paperwork closeout we handle the documentation so your management team doesn't have to
  • 24-hour emergency response for active leaks, roof tarping and temporary protection available same day

Commercial Roofing FAQs

How do you handle a multi-building insurance claim?

We inspect all buildings, compile one comprehensive damage report, and work with your carrier to process it as a single storm event. This streamlines approvals and often results in better total coverage than filing individual claims per building.

Can you work around tenant schedules?

Yes. We phase the work building by building and coordinate with your management team on scheduling. Most tenants experience 1 to 2 days of noise during their building's roof day — not weeks of disruption across the entire property.

What commercial roofing systems do you install?

TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, standing seam metal, and asphalt shingles for residential-style multi-family roofs. The right system depends on your roof slope, building use, budget, and long-term maintenance plan.

Do you handle flat roof drainage issues?

Yes. Poor drainage causes ponding water — the number one killer of flat commercial roofs. We install tapered insulation systems, scuppers, and internal drains to ensure water moves off the roof efficiently, even during rapid snowmelt events.

What's your typical timeline for a multi-family project?

Depends on scope. A 10-building apartment complex with standard asphalt shingles typically takes 2 to 3 weeks when weather cooperates. We provide a detailed schedule at the start of the project and give you daily progress updates.

Do you provide documentation for property managers?

Yes. Every project includes a complete documentation package: pre-work inspection report, permit copies, material specifications, warranty certificates, and post-installation photos — everything your records need.
