Roofing and Restoration FAQs
Get the Clarity You Need Before Your Next Roofing or Restoration Project
At Sticks N Bricks Construction, we know that property owners have questions — especially when facing roof repairs, fire or water damage, or emergency restoration needs. Below, we’ve answered the most common questions we receive from clients throughout Minneapolis and the Twin Cities.
If you don’t see your question listed here, feel free to contact us directly. Our team is happy to provide honest, clear answers based on years of experience in commercial roofing and property restoration.
Fire and Damage Restoration
How quickly should I respond after a fire or water incident?
Immediately. The sooner mitigation begins, the more you can salvage. Fast response helps prevent mold, structural deterioration, and higher restoration costs.
What’s included in your restoration services?
We handle everything from emergency cleanup and demolition to full structural repairs, drywall, flooring, and finishes. We also coordinate insurance claims and inspections.
Can you remove smoke odor and soot from HVAC systems?
Yes. Our fire restoration crews use HEPA filtration, duct cleaning equipment, and odor-neutralizing products to remove smoke residue from ventilation systems.
What’s the process for drying out a water-damaged building?
We extract standing water, set up commercial drying equipment, monitor moisture levels, and remove unsalvageable materials. Only when all surfaces are dry do we proceed with rebuilding.
Do you prevent mold during water restoration?
Yes. We apply anti-microbial treatments and monitor humidity levels closely. Preventing mold starts with fast, thorough drying — which we provide on every job.
General Roofing
What type of roofing systems do you install?
We install flat, low-slope, and pitched roofing systems including TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, asphalt shingles, and standing seam metal. We tailor every system based on the building’s structure, usage, and weather exposure.
How long does a commercial roof typically last?
Depending on the material and maintenance schedule, most commercial roofs last between 20 and 30 years. Factors like climate, drainage, and foot traffic can affect longevity.
What signs indicate I need roof repair or replacement?
Common signs include ponding water, frequent leaks, visible membrane damage, flashing separation, and increased energy bills. We offer inspections to assess the condition and recommend a plan of action.
Can you provide emergency service after a storm?
Yes. We regularly schedule roofing work outside of peak hours to minimize disruption. We coordinate with property managers to ensure safe access and noise control where needed.
Are your crews licensed and insured?
Absolutely. All technicians are fully licensed, OSHA-compliant, and insured. We maintain general liability and workers’ compensation coverage for every project.
Emergency Services
How fast can your team arrive after an emergency call?
We respond 24/7. In most cases, we can be on-site within hours. Our team will stabilize the property, prevent further damage, and begin documenting the incident.
What do you do during an emergency service call?
Depending on the event, we may tarp the roof, board up windows, extract water, or secure structural elements. The goal is to contain damage and create a safe, stable environment for further restoration.
Do you provide service on weekends and holidays?
Yes. Our emergency services are always available, regardless of day or time.
Can I remain in my building during restoration?
That depends on the extent of damage and the type of work needed. In some cases, only specific areas are restricted. For major damage or safety risks, temporary relocation may be required.
Insurance and Claims Support
Do you work with insurance companies?
Yes. We assist with inspections, adjuster meetings, documentation, and scope of work reports. We’ve helped hundreds of clients navigate storm, fire, and water claims successfully.
Should I file a claim before calling a contractor?
We recommend calling us first. An accurate damage assessment helps you determine whether the issue exceeds your deductible. We’ll also document conditions before cleanup begins.
Can you bill insurance directly?
In many cases, yes. Once coverage is confirmed and the claim is approved, we coordinate directly with your insurance company to streamline the process.
Will insurance cover my full roof replacement?
It depends on your policy and the type of damage. Storm-related and fire-related replacements are often covered. We help clarify coverage and submit the proper documentation to support your claim.
