Lakeville, Minnesota
Quality EPDM Roofing in Lakeville, MN
The big low slope roofs on the warehouses and shops around Lakeville have been rubber for a long time, and plenty of them are on the original sheet. What we find on those roofs is rarely a single hole. It is aged laps, flashings pulling at the curbs, and a wet spot spreading under the ballast where nobody walks.

Airlake roofs are big, stepped, and mostly recover work
Start with a test cut. On a ballasted roof we rake back the stone in a few spots and open the membrane down to the deck, because the only way to know whether a recover is honest is to see whether the insulation under it is dry. Wet board has to come out, and if enough of it is wet, the recover stops being the cheaper road. The other thing we map is where the roof steps down. Snow slides and drifts at those steps, sits deep against the upper wall, and works the base flashing loose over a few winters. That corner gets heavier insulation, tighter fastening and a walkway so nobody chews up the sheet in February. On a worn roof that is still sound, ask us about roof coatings before you commit to anything larger, because a coated roof can hold a few more seasons.
EPDM Roofing in Lakeville
What a Lakeville EPDM job gets you
Phased so the plant keeps running
We break a big Airlake roof into sections with a written sequence, tear off only what we can dry in that day, and keep the dock doors and the yard usable while we work.
Drift zones built heavier
Where a high roof drops to a lower one, snow piles and refreezes all winter. We tighten the fastening there, run a heavier base flashing up the wall, and add walk pads.
Stone pulled back before we quote
Ballast hides everything. We rake the stone off in test areas and cut the membrane open so the scope we give you is based on the insulation we actually saw, not a guess from the parapet.
Recover without opening the deck
When the insulation under the old sheet is dry, a recover leaves your ceiling closed and your production floor covered. No open deck over machinery, no dust falling on a line that is still running.
Drainage that clears a wide roof
Wide industrial roofs move water a long way to few drains. We check the slope, add sumps or overflows where water stands, and set the new insulation so the low spots drain instead of holding.
Every curb and unit reflashed
Exhaust fans, makeup air units and conduit stands are where an old rubber roof leaks first. Each one gets new flashing and a proper termination rather than another bead of sealant over the last repair.
Why Lakeville building owners call us
We walk the whole roof first
Not the corner by the ladder. We cover the field, the curbs and every step in the roof line, and we take the photos with us so the walk is something you can see.
A schedule you get in writing
Before the first roll comes off the truck you know which sections we open on which days, where the crane sets, and what happens if the forecast turns.
Someone answers at two in the morning
We are open 24 hours, seven days. If a seam opens over a warehouse aisle on a Saturday night, you are not leaving a message and waiting until Monday.
We work with your maintenance staff
Whoever keeps your building running knows where it leaks and what has been patched. We start with them, and we leave them a marked drawing of the new roof and its drains.
The same people, start to finish
We are a family run, faith based company out of Eden Prairie. The person who walks your roof and writes the scope is the person you will see on the job.

EPDM questions from Lakeville
What people in Lakeville ask us about this work. If yours is not covered, call and ask.
How old are the commercial roofs around Lakeville, and does age alone mean replacement?
Airlake has been filling in for decades, so you find rubber from several different eras on one street. Age is a starting point, not a verdict. EPDM can run a long time if the laps were done well and the flashings were kept up. What decides it is whether the insulation is dry and whether the seams still hold when we probe them.
Can we recover our warehouse roof instead of tearing the old one off?
Sometimes. It depends on how much wet insulation is up there, how many layers are already on the deck, and what the deck itself looks like once we open it. If the board is dry and there is only one roof on the building, a recover is usually the sensible road. If we find water spreading under the sheet, a recover just buries the problem.
Will your crew shut down our operation while the roof is off?
No. We open only what we can make watertight the same day and work in sections you pick. Adhesive has an odor, so we plan those areas around shifts and around any air intake on the roof. Dock traffic keeps moving. On most Lakeville buildings the only thing you notice inside is noise over the section we are on.
