At Rock Hard Roofing, we know commercial roofing isn’t exactly dinner table conversation, but it matters if you’re a business owner in Minneapolis. Whether you’re protecting a warehouse, a retail space, or a multi-unit property, you need a roof that can handle the harsh Minnesota winters, the scorching summers, and everything in between. That’s where we come in.
We install and repair all the major players in the commercial roofing game:
Modified Bitumen (perfect for durability and weather resistance)
EPDM Roofing (ideal for flat roofs and longevity)
TPO Roofing (energy-efficient and budget-friendly)
PVC Roofing (chemical-resistant and built to last)
Asphalt Shingle Roofing (for that classic look with modern reliability)
Now, let’s examine the FAQs we receive from business owners like you so you can make the right choice without getting buried in roofing jargon.
1. What’s the Best Roofing System for My Building?
That depends on your goals. Need something cost-effective and quick to install? TPO or EPDM might be your best bet. Want top-tier durability and energy savings? PVC or Modified Bitumen will hold up strong. If aesthetics matter, say, for a retail location, architectural shingles could be the play. We’ll assess your building, budget, and long-term needs to find the perfect fit.
2. How Long do Commercial Roofs Usually Last?
Most commercial roofs last between 20 and 30 years and require proper installation and maintenance.
EPDM: 20–25 years
TPO/PVC: 20–30 years
Modified Bitumen: 20+ years
Asphalt Shingles: 15–20 years (on commercial buildings)
Your roof’s lifespan also depends on Minneapolis weather and how well it’s maintained—don’t worry, we offer maintenance plans too.
3. How Much Does a Commercial Roof Usually Cost?
It’s like asking, “How much is a car?” It depends on size, materials, and complexity. TPO and EPDM are generally more affordable, while PVC and Modified Bitumen can cost more up front but offer better longevity and performance. We provide custom estimates, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for: no surprises, no BS.
4. Can I Have a New Roof Installed Over the Old One?
In some cases, yes. If your existing roof is in decent condition and local building codes allow it, a roof overlay can save time and money. But if there’s water damage, sagging, or rot, a full tear-off is probably your best bet. We’ll inspect and give you the honest truth. No upsells.
5. How Do I Know if I Need a Repair or a Replacement?
We get it. No one wants to replace an entire roof if a repair will do the trick. Our team will inspect your current system, walk you through what we see, and help you weigh your options. We’ll never pressure you into a full replacement unless it’s absolutely necessary.
6. How Long Does it Take to Install a Commercial Roof?
Most commercial roof installations take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks depending on size, weather, and material. We’ll give you a clear timeline before we ever climb a ladder—and we’ll stick to it.
