Testimonials
I had Hoppe Roofing put a Conklin’s Foam and Coating system on my warehouse roof in July of 2013. The customer service was excellent; the job was started on time and finished promptly. The foam and coating system did as promised; we immediately noticed a difference in the temperature of the warehouse being cooler in the remaining summer months. I would definitely recommend the company as well as the product.

Don Hoppe and his team did a great job in re-coating the roof on our 14,000 sq. ft. barrel roofed auditorium in the fall of 2013. We had waited too long for the re-coat so the roof was leaking. Don and his workers took special care to address the compromised areas of the roof before they applied the high quality Conklin coatings. We now have a roof that is like new in appearance and service.
I would use the following words to describe Don and his work: friendly, professional, knowledgeable, with integrity, and value conscious. I highly recommend Don Hoppe Roofing to any entity for which one of their several roof systems would be indicated. I look forward to working with Don again.

My name is Don Schmitt and I am the maintenance director of an athletic club in Stillwater Minnesota. We had a flat, tar, and rock roof from 1982 that was in bad shape. Don Hoppe with Hoppe Roofing put on a new white Conklin roof that has cut our energy cost significantly. Not only is it leak-proof and adds R-value to our roof, but Don came the next year, from Iowa, to walk the roof and make sure it was holding up as quoted. The only problem with our new roof is that it wasn’t put on sooner.

I recommend to anyone considering any type of roof coating, to contact Don Hoppe at Hoppe Roofing. Our facility is made up of many different buildings, all different configurations and ages. Working with Don we’ve progressively continued to treat each of them, curing everything from insulation problems to leaks. Don’s professional approach showed complete concern for the daily operation of our facility and the integrity of our product as he worked around our schedule and the weather. You can comfortably take care of all your roofing problems and go about your day-to-day business when you work with Don and his crew.
