Today Raplor specializes in both residential and commercial projects in Minnesota, tackling projects of all sizes. When it comes to their roofing projects, specifically, they’ll do everything from a 15-square asphalt roof to a 30,000 square foot commercial flat roof. Their team of certified, insured journeymen is key to maintaining the highest standards. Raplor’s success goes beyond just craftsmanship. Their strong commitment to community is evident through initiatives like The Giving Roof, which provides roofing services and resources to nonprofits. They also focus on sustainability, using eco-friendly materials like Malarkey shingles, which help reduce smog and landfill waste. Among their notable projects is the roof restoration of Faith Covenant Church in Burnsville, MN. Raplor combined asphalt and standing seam metal roofing, including a custom-fabricated, backlit cross that beautifully balanced modernity and tradition. Leah remembers, “Rebuilding that cross was a highlight. It took precision and a lot of creativity to make it work with the steep pitch of the roof.” Another project, at Club 300 & Nucky’s Speakeasy in Anoka, MN, saw Raplor restore a slate roof using Vermont slate and true copper flashings, preserving the building’s historical integrity while ensuring its durability for years to come. One of Raplor’s most challenging projects was for Kronick Industries. After a snow collapse damaged their structure, Raplor was tasked with a complete rebuild, requiring innovative engineering solutions. They installed glulam beams, reinforced purlins, and concrete pillars to withstand future snow loads. The new roof decking, crafted from tongue-and-groove Douglas fir, was overlaid with 60-mil reinforced EPDM for THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE AMERICA - EAST
