Shingle Roofing for Multi-Family & Senior Living Communities
Architectural shingle roof replacement, phased building by building, with residents in place.
Most garden apartments, townhome communities, assisted living residences, and senior living campuses across the DMV are steep-slope buildings with asphalt shingle roofs. Once those roofs are 20 to 25 years old, the owner has to replace them around hundreds of residents, many of them older adults, without disrupting daily life or creating safety hazards on the property.
TopKey Construction replaces and repairs shingle roofs on multi-family and senior living properties across Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Washington, D.C. We install architectural shingle systems with the underlayment, ice and water protection, ventilation, and flashing details the manufacturer warranty requires. The work is planned building by building to keep the impact on residents, staff, and parking as small as we can.

Addressed the hot water heater and fountain wiring issues which were outside of the original scope of work. The overall work performed was outstanding and within the scheduled time-line despite some unforeseen items that arose with the warehouse demo portion. Thank you!”

FAQ
Shingle Roofing Questions, Answered
Can you replace roofs while residents are living in the buildings?
Yes. Nearly all of our multi-family and senior living roofing is done with residents in place. We schedule building by building, notify residents in advance, protect entrances and landscaping, keep work hours consistent, and clean up every day.
How long does it take to re-roof an apartment community?
A typical garden apartment building takes one to three days. A community of ten to twenty buildings is usually completed in a few weeks, depending on weather and the phasing plan you approve.
What do you do differently on senior living properties?
We coordinate with the facility director on work hours, keep noise-heavy work away from care areas and dining times, maintain clear accessible paths at all times, and station crews so emergency vehicle access is never blocked.
Should we replace all the buildings at once or phase over several years?
Either approach works. Replacing everything in one mobilization usually costs less per building, while phasing over several budget years spreads out the capital expense. We price each building separately so you can compare the two.
Do you handle the HOA or property management approvals?
We provide the scope, product data, color samples, insurance certificates, and phasing plan your board or owner needs, and we attend board meetings when helpful.
