Commercial Roof Replacement Services
Roof Replacement for Office Buildings, Warehouses, Industrial Facilities, and Multifamily
Commercial roof replacement represents a critical infrastructure decision that impacts property value, operational continuity, and long-term maintenance expenses. Our commercial roof replacement services provide comprehensive solutions for aging, damaged, or underperforming roofing systems, delivering modern, high-performance installations that protect your investment and extend service life across diverse commercial applications.
Comprehensive Assessment and Planning
Effective roof replacement begins with thorough evaluation of existing conditions and future requirements. Our assessment process includes complete roof inspection documenting all deficiencies, infrared thermography to identify moisture intrusion, core sampling to evaluate substrate and insulation conditions, structural capacity verification for new system loads, drainage evaluation and improvement recommendations, and building code compliance review for current requirements.
This diagnostic phase informs system selection, identifies necessary structural repairs, establishes realistic project scope and budget parameters, and ensures replacement systems address underlying issues rather than simply covering existing problems.
Recent project
Northrup King Building Roof Restoration
MINNEAPOLIS, MN (August 20, 2025) — Endurance Exteriors, the Twin Cities’ trusted leader in premium roofing solutions, has completed a full ballasted roof replacement at the historic Northrup King Building, a cornerstone of Minneapolis’ creative and industrial heritage.
This project highlights the advantages of a ballasted roofing system. Offering stability, energy efficiency, and durability ideal for large commercial properties. Endurance Exteriors ensured the Northrup King Building remains protected against Minnesota’s toughest weather while preserving the integrity of this 102-year-old landmark.
Roof Replacement System Options
We install complete roof replacement systems utilizing modern materials and installation technologies that deliver superior performance compared to original construction.
System options include single-ply membrane systems such as TPO, EPDM, and PVC offering lightweight, energy-efficient solutions, metal roofing systems providing exceptional longevity and minimal maintenance requirements, modified bitumen and built-up roofing for proven durability and puncture resistance, spray polyurethane foam for seamless waterproofing and enhanced insulation performance, and hybrid systems combining complementary technologies for optimal results.
System selection considers building type, structural capacity, budget parameters, energy efficiency objectives, expected service life requirements, maintenance capabilities, and aesthetic considerations where visible from adjacent structures.
ROOF REPLACEMENT OPTIONS
Complete Tear-Off and Replacement
Full roof replacement involves systematic removal of existing roofing materials, substrate preparation, and installation of complete new roofing assemblies.
Our tear-off and replacement process includes safe removal and disposal of existing roofing materials, deck inspection and repair of damaged substrate areas, moisture barrier installation where required, high-performance insulation installation optimizing thermal efficiency, new membrane or roofing material installation per manufacturer specifications, flashing replacement at all penetrations and terminations, edge metal and drainage component installation, and comprehensive quality inspections throughout the process.
Complete replacement eliminates concerns about concealed damage, ensures optimal adhesion and performance, provides opportunity for drainage improvements and insulation upgrades, and establishes fresh warranty coverage for maximum protection.
Roof Recover and Overlay Systems
When existing roof substrates remain sound and building codes permit, roof recover systems offer cost-effective alternatives to complete tear-off. Recovery installation involves placing new roofing systems over existing materials, reducing disposal costs and project duration. Suitability for recover depends on structural capacity to support additional weight, condition of existing substrate and insulation, number of existing roof layers, and local building code requirements.
We conduct thorough evaluations to determine recover feasibility and provide recommendations based on long-term performance and value considerations rather than solely initial cost factors.
Project Management and Operational Continuity
Commercial roof replacement projects require careful coordination to minimize business disruption and maintain building functionality. Our project management approach includes detailed scheduling coordinating with operational requirements, phased construction for occupied facilities, containment protocols protecting interior spaces from dust and debris, safety measures for personnel and building occupants, weather monitoring and contingency planning, daily progress reporting and communication, and coordination with mechanical, electrical, and other trades as required.
We understand that business continuity is essential and structure projects to minimize impact on operations, implementing weekend or after-hours work schedules when necessary.
Technical Expertise and Quality Standards
Quality Assurance and Code Compliance
Roof replacement must meet stringent quality standards and regulatory requirements. Our installations comply with International Building Code and local amendments, manufacturer specifications for warranty validity, NRCA technical guidelines and best practices, OSHA safety regulations and fall protection requirements, and FM Global or similar insurance requirements where applicable.
Documentation includes installation photographs, material certifications, inspection reports, and warranty documentation for complete project records supporting future maintenance and warranty claims.
The Langdon Building – Downtown Minneapolis
One of our most notable projects was the re-roofing of the historic Langdon Building in downtown Minneapolis. This landmark property required a solution that balanced modern efficiency with historic integrity.
Our team carefully removed the aging roof system and replaced it with a high-performance flat roof designed to handle heavy snow loads, drainage challenges, and insulation requirements. The project was completed on schedule with minimal disruption to tenants and businesses.
The Northrup King Building – Northeast Minneapolis
Another key project was the replacement of the roof at the iconic Northrup King Building, a hub for art studios and creative businesses in Northeast Minneapolis. This large-scale property required a durable, low-maintenance solution, making a ballasted roofing system the ideal choice.
The system was designed for stability, energy efficiency, and long-term protection against Minnesota’s harsh weather. By integrating proper drainage and insulation, we ensured the building could continue serving hundreds of tenants while reducing the risk of future maintenance issues.
Energy Efficiency Improvements
Roof replacement provides opportunity to significantly improve building energy performance through reflective membrane selection reducing cooling loads, enhanced insulation thickness and R-value, improved air sealing and vapor control, and integration of sustainable roofing technologies.
These improvements deliver measurable utility cost reductions, enhanced occupant comfort, potential eligibility for energy incentives and tax benefits, and support for corporate sustainability initiatives and LEED certification goals.
Warranty Protection and Long-Term Value
New roof installations include comprehensive warranty coverage protecting your investment. We provide manufacturer material warranties ranging from 15 to 30 years depending on system selection, workmanship warranties covering installation quality for specified periods, extended warranty options including weathertight and total system coverage, and preventive maintenance programs supporting warranty validity and maximizing service life.
Proper installation by certified contractors ensures warranty enforceability and provides recourse should performance issues arise.
