Why are multi-unit roofing projects a whole different game? When it comes to roof repair, multi-family buildings like townhomes, condos, and apartment complexes aren’t just “larger” versions of single-family homes—they’re an entirely different challenge.

Between shared walls, multiple decision-makers, HOA approval, and resident access coordination, even minor roofing jobs can become logistical nightmares without a specialized team.

That’s where Home Resto comes in.

We sat down with Naser Omer, owner of Home Resto, to answer the questions property managers and HOA boards ask most—and to explain why multi-family roof repair in Naperville and Burr Ridge requires more than just shingles and ladders.

Naser Omer – Home Resto Owner & Roofing Expert

Q1 – Why can't property managers just hire a general roofing company?

"The biggest mistake we see is assuming all roofing is the same," says Naser. "With multi-family projects, you’re dealing with shared structures, restricted access, and more liability exposure than on single-family homes."

Here’s what makes it different:

• Resident Coordination: Crews must work around people’s daily lives without disrupting entryways, HVAC units, or parking.

• Staging Requirements: You’ll often need cranes, dumpsters, and job trailers without blocking fire lanes or access for emergency vehicles.

• Stakeholder Management: We work with HOAs, boards, and sometimes tenants—keeping everyone informed is essential.

Q2 – What are the most common multi-family roofing mistakes you see?

Naser lists a few frequent issues:

• “Band-aid” patch jobs: Too many contractors focus on quick fixes rather than comprehensive roof plans.

• Wrong materials used: A contractor might install shingles meant for single-family homes that don’t hold up on low-slope or flat roof areas.

• Communication breakdowns: One missed update to an HOA board can stall approval, inspections, or insurance claims.

Home Resto ensures every apartment roofing Burr Ridge, IL, or Naperville gets a clear scope of work, visual reports, and a real plan—not just a price tag.

Q3 – What sets your team apart on these large-scale projects?

“Execution in phases is key,” Naser notes. “We break projects down into clear stages: site prep, safety setup, tear-off, install, and cleanup—and we report at every step.”

Highlights of the Home Resto approach:

• Weekly progress updates to the HOA board or property manager

• Drone inspections and photo logs for documentation

• Low-disruption planning: work zones scheduled around resident activity

• Certified crews trained for multi-family layouts and OSHA compliance

If you’re managing a complex of 8 or 80 units, you need a multi-family roof contractor that knows how to keep residents safe, dry, and informed.

Q4 – What materials are best for townhomes and apartment complexes?

In Naperville and Burr Ridge, most multi-family buildings use:

• Architectural asphalt shingles—ideal for pitched roof sections with curb appeal

• TPO or EPDM roofing—best for flat or low-slope areas (think garages, connectors)

• Proper underlayment + attic ventilation –essential for ice dam prevention

“Compatibility is non-negotiable,” Naser explains. “If you’re mixing materials across units, your warranty could be void unless it’s done with care.”

Home Resto always uses manufacturer-aligned systems to protect warranty eligibility and maximize durability—especially important for townhouse roof repair projects that combine different roof angles and unit types.

Q5 – Any advice for HOAs planning their 2026 roof projects?

Absolutely. Here’s Naser’s checklist:

✅ Start early: Get quotes 4–6 months ahead of your target season
✅ Don’t just shop price: Ask for scope, materials, warranty, and timeline details.
✅ Get HOA-specific references: Choose a contractor who has done projects for buildings like yours.
✅ Request visual plans: Home Resto offers 3D overlays and past-project case studies

"One of our Burr Ridge clients had been delayed for two years due to unclear bids," Naser says. "Once we came in with a full-scope estimate and timeline, they got HOA approval in just two meetings."
