The Bold North Difference
Commercial property owners and managers face a specific challenge after storm events: the damage to a flat or low-slope roof is often entirely invisible from the ground, the insurance claim process involves more documentation and more complex carrier relationships than residential claims, and the financial stakes are higher. A missed or underpaid claim on a commercial building can mean tens of thousands of dollars of out-of-pocket cost for a repair or replacement that should have been fully covered.
Flat and low-slope roofing systems respond to hail differently than residential shingles. TPO and EPDM membranes can be punctured by large hailstones, and seams — already the system's most vulnerable point — are particularly susceptible to impact damage that compromises their integrity without being visually obvious. Hail damage to commercial membrane roofing must be documented with specific evidence of puncture, bruising, and seam compromise — documentation standards that differ from residential shingle damage and require experience with commercial systems to capture correctly.
We respond to commercial storm events with the same urgency as residential — same-day or next-day inspection after major events, written damage report within 24 hours. We document commercial damage to the standards major commercial carriers expect, attend the adjuster inspection with you, and provide supplemental documentation if the initial assessment is incomplete. Once the claim is approved, we repair or replace using the appropriate commercial system for your building.
Options we offer
Commercial Storm Damage Services
TPO Membrane Hail Damage
Hail damage to TPO membrane shows as punctures, membrane bruising, and seam compromise. We document with close-up photography and written damage descriptions that meet commercial carrier requirements.
EPDM Membrane Storm Damage
Storm damage to EPDM rubber membrane includes punctures and seam separation caused by hail impact and wind uplift. We assess and document the full scope of membrane compromise.
Wind Uplift & Flashing Damage
High winds create uplift pressure that stresses membrane terminations at parapets, HVAC curbs, and edge details. We assess and document all flashing failures and membrane edge compromise caused by wind events.
Emergency Response & Temporary Repairs
When a storm creates immediate water intrusion risk on a commercial property, we respond with emergency tarping and temporary sealing to protect the building while the full claim and repair process proceeds.

Why Bold North
The Right Team For the Job
Commercial Documentation Expertise
We know what commercial carriers require for damage documentation and how to present it. This is not the same as residential claim documentation — and most contractors don't know the difference.
Fast Commercial Response
We prioritize commercial storm response because standing water on a compromised flat roof escalates quickly. Same-day inspection after major events is our standard.
Full Claim Advocacy
We attend the adjuster appointment, present our documentation, and advocate for a complete assessment. Commercial claim approvals supported by proper documentation are significantly larger than those assessed without contractor presence.
What Homeowners Say
Don't just take our word for it - hear from real Minnesota homeowners who've experienced our no- pressure, transparent estimate process.
It was fantastic working with Jon and Bold North Exteriors. We had just a small job for him to do and he took the time to find the exact color match and made sure it was perfect. Communication was great and would highly recommend him anytime. Whenever we need roofing done in the future, Jon is the guy we will call.
Jen Wood
They did a good job with installing two new exterior doors. Good communication, on schedule, cleaned up properly afterward.
Dawn Packard
Jon from Bold North Exteriors delivered on a tricky project for us and was top notch! I would not hesitate to use him for future needs or to recommend him to anyone.

Common Questions
Commercial Storm Damage FAQ
How does commercial storm damage documentation differ from residential?
Commercial carriers require more detailed damage documentation than residential — specific evidence of membrane puncture, seam compromise, and flashing failure rather than the granule-loss and mat-bruising evidence used for shingle damage claims. The documentation must differentiate storm damage from normal membrane wear, which requires experience with commercial systems. We prepare commercial documentation to the standards major carriers expect.
How quickly should I report commercial storm damage?
Immediately — or as soon as it's safe to access the roof. Commercial policies have filing deadlines, and evidence of damage degrades over time. Early documentation is always stronger documentation. We respond same-day or next-day after major events and can have a written report ready within 24 hours of inspection.
What if there's no visible damage to my commercial building after a storm?
Flat roof membrane damage is frequently not visible from the ground. Hail impacts on TPO and EPDM membrane, seam compromise from wind uplift, and flashing damage at parapet walls and HVAC curbs require on-roof inspection to identify. If a significant hail event affected your area, a commercial inspection is worth doing even if nothing looks wrong from outside.
Do you work with commercial insurance carriers?
Yes. We've worked with all major carriers operating in Minnesota on commercial claims. Commercial claim relationships differ from residential — the documentation standards, adjuster relationships, and negotiation process are different. We navigate this with property managers and business owners regularly.
