Realty Management Partners was brought on to manage the removal of two existing layers of roofing and replace them with new insulation and a rubber roof.
This large project, managed by Noah Siebert, began on September 1, 2026, and ended on October 2, 2026. “With all the moving parts, this is by far the most complicated capital project I believe I've ever run; it required multiple months of preparation, and probably 5+ site visits before it even kicked off,” he said.
The challenges:
• The building houses a tenant who has 5 rooftop units that are on stands instead of curbs on the roof. The tenant required an HVAC vendor to be on-site for the duration of the project to safely disconnect all units, jack them up, remove the roofing under them, replace them, and reconnect.
• The refrigeration lines to these units were hard copper that left a very small window of movement available without shattering the lines.
• We also couldn't have more than 3 of the 5 units offline at any given time or risk damaging the equipment they cooled. This required very precise coordination between the tenant, roofer, HVAC vendor, and us.
Additionally, we didn't have enough space on our parcel to place a crane; this is on Main Street in Nashua, so the street wasn't an option either. Our neighbors at Corriveau Insurance Agency, Inc.Corriveau Insurance were kind enough to let us use their lot for our crane. We are incredibly thankful for their willingness to let us use their lot!
During this time of year, inclement, wet weather can pose a problem for external building improvements. However, the roofer did a great job keeping the roof as watertight as possible during the storms, even midway through stripping the old roof.
The total cost of this project was approximately $300,000.00.
