FAQ's
What are the unique challenges of multi-family roofing compared to single-family homes?
Multi-family roofing projects are more complex due to larger roof areas, multiple tenants, HOA/management approvals, and safety considerations. Scheduling, noise, and minimizing disruption are also key concerns. Our team specializes in handling these challenges while ensuring seamless coordination with property managers and residents.
How do you minimize disruptions for tenants during roofing projects?
We prioritize tenant communication, providing clear schedules, safety guidelines, and noise expectations. Our crew follows a structured work plan, limits loud work to reasonable hours, and ensures cleanup is done daily. If needed, we can phase the project to minimize inconvenience.
How often should a multi-family property’s roof be inspected?
We recommend biannual inspections (spring and fall) and additional checks after severe weather. Multi-family roofs endure more wear due to size and varying maintenance schedules. Routine inspections catch small issues early, preventing costly repairs or premature replacements.
What are the biggest misconceptions about multi-family roofing?
Many property owners assume:
- "A roof lasts as long as its warranty." In reality, maintenance affects longevity.
- "If there’s no visible damage, the roof is fine." Hidden leaks or weak spots may exist.
- "Any roofing company can handle multi-family projects." Multi-family roofing requires specialized experience, coordination, and materials.
How can I extend the lifespan of my multi-family property’s roof?
Regular maintenance, prompt repairs, and proper ventilation are key. Investing in proactive inspections, sealing leaks early, cleaning gutters, and ensuring proper attic ventilation can extend a roof’s lifespan by years, reducing unexpected costs.
What are the hidden benefits of upgrading to a high-quality roofing system?
Beyond protection, a modern roofing system offers:
✅ Energy efficiency (lower cooling/heating costs)
✅ Better insulation & noise reduction
✅ Increased property value & curb appeal
✅ Reduced liability risks from leaks or structural damage
What are the biggest mistakes property owners make with multi-family roofing?
1️⃣ Delaying repairs: Small leaks turn into major structural issues.
2️⃣ Choosing the lowest bid: Cheaper options often use inferior materials or cut corners.
3️⃣ Ignoring tenant complaints about leaks: Residents may notice issues before they become visible to owners.
4️⃣ Skipping maintenance: Preventative care is always cheaper than emergency fixes.
How does weather impact multi-family roofing, and what precautions can be taken?
Wisconsin's heavy snow, rain, and seasonal temperature swings can cause:
- Ice dams, leading to leaks and water damage.
- Shingle deterioration due to freezing and thawing cycles.
- Wind damage, especially on large roof surfaces.
- We recommend proper insulation, ice shield installation, and regular post-storm inspections to prevent costly damage.
