Complete PVC Roofing in Ramsey, MN
Stand on the flat roof over a ground floor restaurant at The COR on a warm morning and you can smell the fryer line before you find the fan. That is the daily reality of commercial roofing in Ramsey, where kitchens, shops and light industrial tenants sit under low slope membrane that has to take grease, solvent vapor and airborne cooking oil for decades, usually with people living or working directly underneath while we replace it.

Grease Is a Chemistry Problem
Restaurant exhaust does not simply leave a film around the fan curb. Fats and airborne oils work into an ordinary membrane, the sheet stiffens, and laps shrink and split where crews have walked. PVC is formulated to resist that attack, which is why it belongs on food service buildings, small processing tenants and vehicle service bays, and why we specify it on the mixed use decks at The COR where apartments and retail stack over one another. Welding matters for a second reason here as well. The laps are fused with heat, so nothing is off gassing into occupied space below while we work. That is not always true of EPDM roofing, which we still recommend without hesitation on a warehouse or an office roof with nobody cooking underneath. The tenant mix picks the membrane, not the square footage.
PVC Roofing in Ramsey
What PVC Delivers on a Ramsey Deck
The Fallout Ring Stops Spreading
The ring around a kitchen exhaust fan is the first place an ordinary membrane fails. PVC keeps its flexibility under animal fat and cooking oil, so the deck around your curb does not go brittle a decade ahead of everything else.
No Adhesive Fumes Into Occupied Space
Welded seams need heat, not solvent. On a building with apartments upstairs or a shift running below, that means no adhesive odor pulled through a fresh air intake and no residents calling the property manager about the smell of your roof job.
Driven Rain Stopped at the Wall
Open river ground pushes rain sideways and uphill into laps, parapet corners and wall transitions. Fusing the sheet into one piece and running it up the wall to a mechanically secured termination is what keeps that water out of the top floor.
Repairs Without a Cure Time
A damaged spot gets cut out, patched and rewelded, and the roof is watertight the moment the welder shuts off. Nothing is curing overnight, so a plant running shifts does not lose a night of production to a small repair.
A Field That Takes Solar Later
If panels are anywhere in your five year plan, PVC is the surface to put them on. Racking feet and conduit supports get flashed with welded boots rather than tar and hope, so adding an array later does not compromise the roof or its warranty.
Long Decks Move Without Tearing
A three hundred foot industrial building expands and contracts more than owners realize. We detail the expansion joints and deck transitions so that movement is absorbed at the joint, instead of pulling on a fastener row in the middle of the field.
How Orange Exteriors Works in Ramsey
We Survey While the Fryers Are On
Grease patterns only show during service. We walk the roof mid shift, note where each fan actually throws and which laps sit inside the drift, then build the detailing around what we saw rather than around a curb layout on paper.
Working Over Occupied Apartments
At The COR, people live above the retail. Crane picks and noisy demolition get scheduled inside agreed hours, residents get written notice from us, and crews route through service access instead of a lobby people are trying to use.
Hot Work Permits and a Fire Watch
Welding near a grease duct is hot work and gets treated that way. We file the permit, post an extinguisher and a watch during and after the work, and coordinate with the fire marshal instead of hoping nobody thinks to ask.
A Sacrificial Layer in the Drift Zone
Where the fan throws hardest, we add a second protection layer over the field that can be replaced on its own. Twelve years from now that patch of roof gets renewed for a fraction of what replacing a whole section would cost.
The Estimate Names the Trade Offs
Our walkthrough and written scope cost nothing and commit you to nothing, and if your building does not need PVC we say so out loud. That candor is a large part of why a family run, faith based company holds 5.0 across 217 Google reviews.

Ramsey Building Owner Questions
What people in Ramsey ask us about this work. If yours is not covered, call and ask.
Do the apartments above our restaurant have to be empty while you reroof?
No. People stay in their units and the retail stays open. What changes is the sequence. We work in sections so the building is never open to weather, keep demolition inside agreed hours, dry in every night before leaving, and give residents notice of the days a crane will be in the lot. The odor question that usually worries owners does not come up, because welded seams use no solvent adhesive.
Who handles the hot work permit when you weld near a grease duct?
We do. Hot air welding on a roof carrying grease ducts counts as hot work, so the permit, the extinguisher on the deck, the fire watch during the work and the watch period afterward are ours to arrange and staff. We coordinate with the local fire marshal ahead of the schedule, and that documentation goes into the closeout package with the warranty and the assembly sheets.
Can rooftop solar be added to a PVC roof later on?
Yes, and doing the roof first is the right order. Racking feet, ballast pads and conduit supports all need welded flashings tied into the field, which is straightforward on new PVC and awkward on an aged membrane nobody wants to cut into. Tell us panels are in the plan and we will set the insulation, the fastening pattern and the walkway routes around where the array will sit.
