JRH Construction re-roofs apartment complexes, condominium associations, townhome HOAs, student housing, and senior living communities across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. JRH phases work around occupied units, carries the $2 million general liability and $1 million umbrella limits national REIT owners require, and handles Texas Property Code Chapter 209 compliance on every HOA project.
Dallas-Fort Worth holds more than 900,000 apartment units across roughly 4,200 communities per RealPage and CoStar Q4 2025 data, making DFW one of the three largest apartment markets in the United States alongside New York and Los Angeles. The region added more than 60,000 apartment units between 2020 and 2024 across Uptown Dallas, Legacy West, Frisco, McKinney, Allen, Plano, Richardson, the I-35E corridor through Lewisville and Carrollton, Fort Worth\u2019s near-TCU and Alliance submarkets, and the Denton and Arlington university-adjacent student housing belt.
Every one of those roofs sits inside the same DFW hail envelope as the single-family market. JRH Construction has re-roofed apartment communities after the March 24 2023, April 24 2021, April 11 2016, and May 28 2019 storm events — each of which produced 2-inch-plus hail across entire ZIP codes at once. Multi-family properties insure through carriers including Zurich, Liberty Mutual, Travelers, FM Global, and Chubb Commercial, and each of those carriers accepts JRH\u2019s Xactimate documentation and drone-photography claim packets.
Property Types JRH Handles
Garden-Style Apartments
Two-to-four-story wood-frame garden apartment communities with pitched asphalt shingle or low-slope TPO roofs. JRH Construction phases work across 10 to 40 buildings per property, coordinates with property management on active-lease units, and carries the required additional insured endorsements for REIT and property-management-company owners.
Mid-Rise and Wrap Apartments
Five-to-seven-story mid-rise and urban wrap apartment buildings common in Uptown Dallas, Legacy West, Plano, and Las Colinas. Low-slope 80-mil TPO or PVC over tapered polyisocyanurate insulation, with crane staging coordinated around active vehicle drop-off zones and structured-parking tenant access.
Condominium Associations
Master-association and sub-association condominium communities across DFW where roof replacement requires board approval, assessment funding, and architectural control sign-off. JRH prepares board-meeting presentation packages and participates in resident Q&A sessions during project kickoff.
Townhome HOAs
Attached townhome HOA communities where each owner holds interior-wall-in title but the roof sits in the common-element envelope. JRH coordinates with the HOA management company on assessment, architectural review, and individual owner notification requirements under Texas Property Code Chapter 209.
Student Housing
University-adjacent student housing properties in Denton (University of North Texas), Arlington (UT Arlington), and Fort Worth (TCU). JRH schedules major scope around academic calendars — summer break and winter break — and runs limited-scope patching during active terms.
Senior Living and Assisted Living
Independent living, assisted living, and memory care communities with resident populations requiring special consideration on noise, dust, and evacuation routes. JRH coordinates with facility nursing leadership and prepares resident communication packets before mobilization.
Phased Re-Roof on Occupied Communities
Multi-family roof replacement on occupied properties requires a completely different operational model from single-family work. JRH Construction runs two to three active building crews in parallel, completes roughly one building per 5 to 8 working days on a 50,000 square foot structure, and keeps the rest of the complex operating normally throughout the project. JRH posts building-level work schedules 14 to 21 days ahead, hangs 48-hour door notices on every occupied unit, and stages dumpsters and material loadouts outside resident traffic patterns.
Tenant coordination runs through the property management team. JRH delivers weekly building-status reports, attends the property management standing meeting, and participates in resident town-hall calls when communities request them. Crews work 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM standard hours, with no Sunday work, no activity during posted quiet hours, and no overnight operations unless the property owner requests it and pays the overtime differential.
Safety and liability require extra attention on occupied properties. JRH erects perimeter fencing around active building staging zones, posts signage in English and Spanish, requires hard-hat and high-vis compliance for every person on the job site, and maintains a dedicated site safety officer on every multi-family project above 12 buildings. Background checks clear on every crew member before first mobilization on properties that require it.
How does JRH Construction handle roof replacement on occupied apartment complexes?
JRH Construction phases multi-family roof replacement building-by-building so only one or two structures at a time see active work while the remainder of the complex operates normally. JRH provides property management with a published schedule 14 to 21 days ahead of each building, posts notices on every occupied unit 48 hours before tear-off, and stages dumpsters and material loadouts outside resident traffic patterns. Crews work 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM standard hours, with no Sunday work and no activity during posted quiet hours required by Texas Property Code or the local municipal noise ordinance.
What is the typical roof system for a DFW apartment complex?
Garden-style apartment communities in DFW typically carry architectural asphalt shingle roofs rated for 120 mph wind with Class 4 impact resistance. JRH Construction specifies Owens Corning Duration Storm, GAF Timberline HDZ, or CertainTeed Landmark Pro shingles on these re-roofs, all with UL 2218 Class 4 ratings that qualify for State Farm, Allstate, and USAA premium discounts. Mid-rise and urban wrap apartments carry low-slope roofs and JRH specifies 80-mil TPO or PVC over tapered polyisocyanurate insulation at R-30 continuous to meet Texas energy code.
How long does a full apartment complex roof replacement take?
A typical 12-building garden-style apartment community with 600,000 total square feet of roof area takes 10 to 16 weeks from mobilization to final punch list. JRH Construction runs two to three active building crews in parallel, completes roughly one building every 5 to 8 working days on a 50,000 square foot building, and schedules weather contingency into every two-week rolling window. Mid-rise apartment re-roofs run 4 to 8 weeks per building depending on mechanical equipment density and phasing requirements on occupied units below.
Does JRH Construction work with property management companies and apartment REITs?
Yes. JRH Construction holds active vendor agreements with multiple national property management companies and apartment REITs operating in DFW, and carries the required $2 million general liability and $1 million umbrella coverage limits most national owners require. JRH issues additional insured endorsements within 24 hours of request, delivers W-9 documentation and certificates of insurance through vendor management systems, and participates in the vendor-compliance audits that Greystar, Lincoln Property, Pinnacle, and institutional REIT owners run on their approved contractor lists.
How does insurance claim work on an apartment complex hail event?
JRH Construction manages the full insurance claim process on multi-family properties. JRH documents hail damage with drone photography, produces Xactimate estimates that match carrier software, attends the adjuster meeting with the property manager, and negotiates supplements when initial payouts fall short of the scope required to restore the roof. On a typical 400,000 square foot apartment complex after a 2-inch hail event, JRH has recovered initial claim settlements plus supplement payments ranging from $800,000 to $1.8 million, with the property owner paying only the policy deductible.
What architectural controls apply to DFW HOA and condo roof projects?
Texas Property Code Chapter 209 governs HOA architectural review, and most DFW HOA and condominium declarations require board approval plus architectural committee sign-off before roof replacement begins. JRH Construction prepares the complete submission package — material samples, color chips, manufacturer data sheets, rendered elevations, and scope narrative — and presents at the required board meeting. JRH also handles the resident communication packet distribution, including the 48-hour work notices and unit-by-unit access coordination that architectural rules frequently require.
Does JRH Construction handle multi-building phased re-roof financing and payment?
Yes. JRH Construction structures multi-family contracts with building-by-building milestone billing, which matches the cash-flow pattern HOAs and condo associations use when funding re-roof projects from reserve accounts or special assessments. JRH works with the property management accounting team to align progress billing with board-approved reserve draws, and provides lien release documentation for every subcontractor and material supplier after each payment cycle.
Which DFW apartment markets does JRH cover?
JRH Construction covers every apartment submarket across Dallas-Fort Worth — Uptown and downtown Dallas urban mid-rise, the Legacy West and Frisco master-planned corporate housing markets, the Plano and Richardson Telecom Corridor garden apartments, the Denton and Arlington university-adjacent student housing belt, the I-35E corridor apartments through Lewisville and Carrollton, and the Fort Worth near-TCU and Alliance corridor properties. JRH is headquartered in Little Elm and routinely services multi-family properties across Dallas, Collin, Denton, Tarrant, and Rockwall counties.
