Commercial Division
T
he Pro Built Restoration commercial division has solutions for your
commercial property that have a nice blend of low cost, longevity,
and great looks. As a commercial property owner or a management
company, we understand how important it is to have an ally working with you
to find cost effective and lasting solutions to keep your property up and running
the way you need it to.
Since the age of 18 when he worked on his first
commercial roofing project as an installer, Mike has
been interested in commercial properties. He has
worked on a variety of projects ranging from apartment
complexes to huge shopping malls and has the hands
on experience that allows him to come up with great
solutions for our customers.
The Pro Built Restoration
Commercial Division
has solutions for your
commercial property
that have a nice blend
of low cost, longevity,
and great looks.
Spurred by a wrestling scholarship, Mike left the
industry for several years to pursue a graduate degree
in Spinal Trauma Surgical Devices. After a stint working
in medical devices he realized that he missed the fast
paced problem solving environment that is commercial construction. In 2012
Mike came back to the construction industry and is now the head of Pro Built
Restoration’s commercial division.

Commercial Insurance Claims
O
ften times storm damage goes unnoticed on commercial properties, often leading to long term
problems that prove very costly for the property owners. This can happen for a variety of reasons,
the main one being that most commercial construction companies don’t train their estimators on
what to look for. That’s not to say that they aren’t more than qualified to make repairs or complete the work
that needs to be done, they simply are not familiar with the insurance restoration process. At Pro Built
Restoration our goal is to provide a superior product at minimum out of pocket expense to our customers,
and often times working with your insurance company is the best solution if there is storm damage on
your property.
That is why Pro Built Restoration began opening local offices and employing ‘local’ people to run those
offices. We establish warranty funds and offer our customers an industry leading Lifetime Warranty on our
workmanship. We don’t travel around trying to ‘make a quick buck’ like many contractors that you hear
about in the news.
If you have already filed an insurance claim and are trying to get bids to fit within the parameters of what
they have allowed, you may be shooting yourself in the foot. Here’s why: insurance companies have many
years of experience and knowledge on how to minimize and delay settlements. That is not to say that all
insurance companies will do this, but here are a few examples that we have run into over the years.
HEATHERS ESTATES APARTMENTS IN CRYSTAL, MN
Claim started at $16,893 for some minor roofing repairs. After Pro Built Restoration did our
inspection we found that not only did that not cover the cost to properly make the repairs that were
approved, there was extensive damage that had not even been addressed. The total of the claim ended up
being over $308,000! Over $291,000 difference; and we were able to address all of these issues without
having to get attorneys or public adjusters involved - which saved them over $30,000 in fees on top of that.
CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD - TEMPLE 203, FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS, IL
Claim started at $28,581 for roof repairs after a hail storm caused damage to the roof and several
other items. Through the use of a contingency agreement we were able to help them address the
damage sustained to their stained glass windows, metal steeple, EPDM flat roof, entire steep slope roof,
gutter system, and interior leaking. The total claim ended up at $79,671... more than 3x the amount initially
offered by their insurance company.

These are just two examples out of many, but it gives you an idea of what we can do to help you get
things settled with the insurance company. We have also done extensive work with historical societies
making sure that all of the codes and requirements are met according to the city officials and the insurance
policies. The point is, Pro Built Restoration is more than just your typical contractor. Through the use of our
insurance contingency contracts we are able to provide our services to you at no cost or risk – our goal is
to prove our value to you and provide you with impeccable customer service and develop a relationship that
will last throughout the years. Keep in mind that all properties do not qualify for a contingency agreement,
but without a thorough inspection from one of our reps you may never know what you missed out on.

A Letter from the Owners
M
y name is Chris Nidelkoff and I am the Co-owner and National
Operations Manager for Pro Built Restoration. Myself, along with the
Founder and CEO Rich Rybak, would like to take the time to thank you
for sitting down with one of our project managers. As a company we have helped
thousands of home and business owners through the insurance restoration
process. We’d love to be the company that helps you through this process too!
“We’d love to be the
company that helps you
through this process”
Over the years in this business we have seen it all...
contractors stealing money from homeowners,
insurance companies denying legitimate damages,
contractors using inferior products to save a few
bucks, and companies claiming to be ‘insurance claim
specialists’ without having a clue what they are doing.
That’s the reason we opened our storm restoration division. Rich and I are tired
of seeing good people getting taken advantage of because they didn’t have the
knowledge of how the whole process really works.
Whether or not you choose to let Pro Built guide you through the maze of
insurance guidelines, regulations, building codes, compliance issues, and
selecting the right material for your home — we trust that you will be better off
to make an informed decision after hearing what we have to say.
Thank you,
Rich and Chris

Asphalt Roofing

It takes more than just shingles to protect your home. It takes an integrated system of components and
layers designed to withstand the forces of nature outside while controlling temperature and humidity
inside. The Pro Built Restoration ‘Complete Roofing System’ gives you the assurance that all of your
roofing components are working together to help increase the performance of your roof – and to enhance
the comfort and enjoyment of those who live beneath it. There is so much more to a roof than just
the shingles...

TPO System Benefits
(Thermo Plastic Polyalefin)
Easy to Install
TPO Roofing Systems install quickly and economically.
Energy Efficient Roofs
White surfaces have been shown to reflect up to 78%
of the sun’s rays to reduce air-conditioning costs. The
superb reflectivity of white TPO even reduces the heat
build-up under the membrane.
The Best Lifecycle
TPO provides excellent resistance to fire, UV,
airborne bacteria, and industrial pollutants such as airconditioning coolants. TPO contains no chlorine, which
is a huge plus for the environment.
Less Seams
Available in widths of 8’, 10’, and 12’ for less seams
compared to most commercial roofing applications.
Thicker Top Ply
More product on top of the scrim where you need it
most, one of the thickest top plies in the industry.
Strength
Keeps moisture out, yet lightweight, making it ideal
for new construction and retrofit installations without
adding excessive weight to the roof deck. TPO can
handle the desert sun, sand, arctic freezes, and
torrential downpours. Stands up to rooftop traffic,
tools, and equipment.
Flexibility
The membrane remains flexible in hot and cold.
Pro Built Restoration stays on the cutting edge of
commercial roofing technology. We offer state of
the art applications including the extremely cost
effective RhinoBond magnetic bonding application.
Ask your project manager for more details.

PVC System Benefits
Energy Efficient Roof
White surfaces have been shown to reflect up to 78% of the sun’s rays to reduce air-conditioning costs.
The superb reflectivity of white PVC even reduces the heat build-up under the membrane. PVC white
membrane adds to the aesthetics of the building while increasing energy efficiency.
Flexibility
The membrane remains flexible in hot and cold temperatures so it will not split or crack. PVC can handle
the desert sun, sand, arctic freezes, and torrential downpours.
The Best Lifecycle
PVC provides excellent resistance to fire, UV, airborne bacteria, and industrial pollutants such as air
conditioning coolants. Reinforced membrane is engineered to remain dimensionally stable over time.
Lightweight yet Strong System
Weighing less than 1lb. per square foot makes it ideal for new construction and retrofit installations without
adding excessive weight to the roof deck. Stands up to repeated exposure to severe climates, high winds,
building movement, and routine rooftop traffic.
Heat-Welded Seam Strength
PVC roofs use a heat-welding process that fuses the membrane seams to form a permanent, watertight
seal. Superior seam strength provides greater wind uplift resistance.
*Similar to TPO with a little added toughness.
10
EPDM – Rubber Roofing
(Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer))
Strength
EPDM is a high tensile strength, single-ply membrane ideal
for long-term watertight integrity. EPDM is lightweight,
ideal for new construction and retrofit systems without
adding excessive weight to the roof deck.
Flexibility
The membrane remains flexible in hot and cold
temperatures so it will not split or crack.
Long Lifecycle
It provides excellent resistance to ozone and UV and
can handle the coldest winters or the desert heat.
Standard Black EPDM Membrane
The most economical singly-ply membrane. Ideal for
ballasted and fully adhered systems.
Standard Reinforced EPDM Membrane
Reinforced with tough polyester fabric for superior
fatigue, tear, and puncture resistance Ideal for
mechanically attached systems.
White on Black EPDM Membrane
Reflects the sunlight and cools the building interior
leading to lower BTU usage and energy costs.

Elastomeric Roof Coating
Fast, Versatile, and Insurance Friendly
SeIf-Adhering Mod Bit roofing systems install quickly and adhere to a wide range of substrates and base
piles without hot asphalt or names. Ideal for low-slope and steeper slopes.
Lasting Restoration or Repair Keeps Existing Roofs Operating Efficiently
Every year that a building owner can keep the existing roof operating efficiently, keeps money in their
pocket. Comprising nearly one-third of operating costs, energy consumption is the single biggest expense
to commercial building owners today. Investing in an energy efficient roof can reap substantial savings.
Energy Efficient Roofs
While Mule-Hide A-300 FINISH has been independently tested to EPA guidelines with results of initial solar
reflectance values up to 86% and 3 year aged values up 10 72%, plus emissivity values of 91%, can reduce
surface temperatures on metal roofs by as much as 50°F and interior temperatures by 15°F.
Extends Roof Lifecycle
Advances in polymer chemistry have resulted in these professional grade products that protect building
assets by extending the life of the existing roof.
Easy to Repair
Scrapes or gouges in coated areas are usually repaired simply by cleaning and applying new product to the
damaged area where it bonds to the existing coating.
Flexibility
Thermal shock, settling and seismic action can affect roofs. Elastomeric Acrylic Coatings remain flexible in
hot and cold temperatures (from -15°F to 200°F) to accommodate building movement and will not crack or
blister like non-elastomeric paints and coatings.

Metal Roofing

Metal Roofing
Longevity
Steel roofs can last a lifetime, lower energy costs, survive more extreme weather
and are backed by a better guarantee than almost any other roofing product on
the market. For more than a decade the experts at Pro Built Restoration have
brought you innovative steel roofing concepts including metal shakes, shingles,
and standing seam applications: all with a wide variety of colors and styles.
Get a Better ROI
Steel roofs retain their value better than asphalt shingles because of superior
resistance to wear and tear. They may also get you an insurance discount (talk
to your agent) and the warranty is usually transferable one time to a new owner.
Going Green
Steel roofs are environmentally friendly, 100% recyclable, made from a
minimum of 25% recycled materials and significantly lower your energy bill by
deflecting heat in summer and retaining heat in winter.
Stand up to Extreme Weather
As weather continues to get more volatile, you’ll appreciate the staying power
of steel roofs. Our steel roofs are tested for UL2218-Class 4 Rating for hail, and
UL 1897 test for winds. They withstand winds of up to 160mph, well above the
industry standard, To give you an idea of that kind of strength, Hurricane Sandy
reached winds of 90mph.
