Multi-Family Roof Replacement

In Gainesville, FL, 55.4% of homes sit in buildings with two or more units, so many roofs cover apartments, condos and duplexes at once. On a multi-family roof one leak can reach several units, and the decision to replace usually involves an owner, association or manager as well as residents.

How a contractor approaches a shared roof
A roofing contractor typically walks the whole roof, notes which units sit under stains, checks flashing at walls, vents and rooftop equipment, and says whether work can be phased by building or section.

Why a slow leak spreads
Waiting lets a soft spot spread into ceilings and drywall across several homes. Homeowners cannot pull permits on rental property, so the contractor applies through PermitGNV; unpermitted work can bring a Stop Work Order.

Ask about a multi-family roof and say how many units, buildings and roof sections are involved.
