Built for the on-site community manager

The Atlanta roofing + deck contractor built for multifamily property managers

One crew owns both the flat roof and the walkable amenity deck — so the seam where 90% of multi-contractor leaks start is under a single 10-year no-leak warranty. We replace and repair roofs around occupied apartments without relocating a single resident. GAF + Versico + GenFlex certified, authorized Dec-Tec installer, in business since 2009.

Active leak

Water is coming through a ceiling right now

When a resident is photographing a stained ceiling in a $3,000/month unit, you don't need a sales meeting — you need a roofer on the roof tracing the source and a written record. Mold can start within 24-48 hours and a resident paper trail can reach the HUD Multifamily Complaint Line, so we move on active leaks first. We document the leak source with photos, give you a written proposal inside 48 hours, and work around the occupied unit below — no relocation.

We traced and documented a 65-photo leak job at the Restaurant at Kirkwood Station and a unit-level leak at Jade at Avondale (Unit 538, 21 photos) — the same leak-tracing record you can drop straight into a work order.

Zero-displacement

We replace roofs over occupied apartments — without moving a single resident

Your job is renewals and reviews, and a chaotic roof project tanks both. Our Zero-Displacement Install Protocol phases the work one section at a time so no resident is relocated. We coordinate parking, mitigate noise, clean the site daily, and send resident notifications you can forward as-is. You keep the building leased and occupied while the roof gets done.

  • Phased one section at a time — building stays occupied
  • Resident notifications written for you to forward
  • Daily cleanup + parking coordination + noise mitigation
  • Proven on occupied multifamily since 2009 (Arbor Garden 13 buildings, Jade at Avondale, Wildwood Townhomes)

The moat — amenity decks

The leak starts where the roof meets the rooftop pool deck — and we own both sides of that seam

On a high-rise like a Midtown tower with a rooftop saltwater pool, grilling area, and private balconies built across a parking deck over occupied units, two separate vendors install the flat roof and the walkable deck — and when water shows up at the transition, each blames the other. 90% of multi-contractor leaks start at that roof-to-deck seam. CKR installs both the commercial TPO roof and the walkable Dec-Tec deck, so there is one crew, one seam, and one warranty for the whole assembly. No competitor in Atlanta markets single-contractor ownership of that transition.

Dec-Tec CoolStep is an 80-mil PVC walking-deck membrane with a 20-year material warranty, a high-traction slip-resistant surface, and a 76-inch width (fewer seams per deck). Dec-Tec Select meets ICC criteria for walking decks — the designation an inspector asks about on amenity decks with egress duty.

Documented deck work: Dec-Tec Balcony (Atlanta, 12 photos), a 15-photo Dec-Tec job in Snellville, a 21-photo Kirkwood walk-pad project, and AMLI at Roswell hallway/walkway decks (38 photos).

One warranty, not two

TPO roof + Dec-Tec deck under a single 10-Year No-Leak Pledge. The roof-to-deck seam is ours, not "the other guy's."

20-year deck membrane

Dec-Tec CoolStep 80-mil PVC, high-traction, ICC walking-deck criteria — built for foot traffic over occupied units.

Zero-displacement install

Phased around residents and guests — no relocation, scheduled access, daily cleanup on occupied luxury communities.

The vendor gate

Cleared through your vendor gate before craftsmanship is even on the table

Before you can recommend us, we have to clear onboarding. We're credentialing-ready for the platforms large operators use (NetVendor / RealPage), and we carry the insurance language procurement requires. Daniel Realty Services runs vendor qualification and Procore; Greystar runs NetVendor. We arrive with the kit already assembled so you're not chasing documents.

  • General liability + workers' comp on file
  • Additional-insured endorsement — ongoing and completed operations
  • Primary and non-contributory wording + waiver of subrogation
  • Owner / management company / affiliates named as required
  • W-9 + state license on file
  • Zero-Displacement Install Protocol documented for resident-safety review

Capital planning

Defensible per-door numbers for the reserve study, the underwriter, and your asset manager

When the roof hits the capital plan, you need a written number that survives a board packet and a reserve study — fast. Our 48-Hour Written Proposal Guarantee (with a $500 credit if we miss it) and No-Surprise Pricing give you a line item you can forward up the chain the same week. Aging roofs are increasingly forced to the top of the capex list by carrier non-renewal, regardless of the operating budget — we'll document condition so the spend is defensible.

Reserve norm, Class A/B$250-$450 / unit / yr
Reserve norm, older Class C$600-$800 / unit / yr
Agency-loan reserve floor$200-$300 / unit / yr
Commercial reroof$5.50-$16 / sq ft
TPO system$6-$14.50 / sq ft

Portfolio-scale credibility: Arbor Garden (13 buildings, 13 documented jobs) and One Street Residential (3 communities).

Before you schedule

Send us these five things and your written proposal moves faster

You don't need any of this to call us about a leak — but if you have it, your 48-hour written proposal lands tighter and sooner.

  1. Property + building count — address(es) and how many buildings/roofs are in scope.
  2. Roof type + approximate age — TPO, modified bitumen, shingle, or "not sure"; install year if known.
  3. What's happening — active leak, failed inspection, planned replacement, or amenity-deck waterproofing.
  4. Photos — ceiling stains, ponding water, or the deck transition; phone photos are fine.
  5. Access + compliance needs — gate codes, occupied-unit constraints, and which vendor platform (NetVendor / RealPage / Procore) you onboard through.

FAQ

What community managers ask before they recommend a roofer

Can you replace an apartment roof without making residents move out?

Yes. Our Zero-Displacement Install Protocol phases the work one roof section at a time so no resident is relocated. We coordinate parking, mitigate noise, clean the site daily, and provide resident notifications you can forward as-is. We've done this on occupied communities across Metro Atlanta since 2009, including the 13-building Arbor Garden program and Jade at Avondale.

A balcony or rooftop deck is leaking into the unit below — who fixes that?

We do, and we fix the actual cause. Most amenity-deck leaks start at the seam where the flat roof meets the walkable deck, where two separate vendors usually point fingers. CKR installs both the TPO roof and the Dec-Tec walking-deck membrane, so the whole transition is under one crew and one warranty. Dec-Tec CoolStep is an 80-mil slip-resistant membrane with a 20-year material warranty.

Are you an approved / compliant vendor for large multifamily operators?

We're credentialing-ready for the platforms large operators use (NetVendor / RealPage) and carry the insurance language procurement requires: additional-insured endorsement for ongoing and completed operations, primary and non-contributory wording, and waiver of subrogation, with your management company and affiliates named. W-9 and state license are on file. We arrive with the kit assembled so you can dispatch and pay without chasing documents.

How fast can I get a written number for my reserve study or capital budget?

Within 48 hours, guaranteed — if we miss it, you get a $500 credit. Combined with No-Surprise Pricing, you get a written line item you can drop into a board packet, reserve study, or asset-manager memo the same week. Budget season runs August to November; we can document roof condition so an aging roof is defensible in next year's capital plan.

Do you work on high-rise rooftop pool and grilling decks?

Yes — that's exactly the building this thesis was built for. On a high-rise with a rooftop pool, grill area, and balconies built across a parking deck over occupied units, the roof and the walkable deck are normally two contracts and two warranties. CKR does both, so the seam where most leaks start is owned by one crew. Dec-Tec Select meets ICC criteria for walking decks for amenity surfaces with egress duty.

What should I send you before scheduling an assessment?

Address and building count, roof type and approximate age, what's happening (active leak, failed inspection, planned replacement, or deck waterproofing), photos of the problem, and any access or vendor-platform requirements (NetVendor / RealPage / Procore). None of it is required to call us about a leak — but it tightens your 48-hour written proposal.
