Earlier this week we thought it would be a good idea to jump in the car and drive from Minneapolis, MN to Lincoln, NE for a quick tour of the amazing Apple Roofing HQ. With over 6 million dollars spent on the space alone, we were impressed all the way through from the custom wood finishes to the branded nails. Dustan, the CEO, showed us around his block and shared some of the secrets to the recipe for an extremely successful roofing company.

Amazing facility, great video. Man I would love to pick that guys brain to know returns in investment. He seems to have a plan. I like the way you go right for the big question “how much did that cost” LoL
In our next video they will have give away for our audience and winner will get few hours of their mentorship and very cool prize!!!!
I know im asking randomly but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb lost the account password. I appreciate any help you can give me
I simply cannot imagine managing 40 roofs day. Not to undermine the skill set it would take to do this, he has to have one hell of a supporting cast to be able to pull this off.
RIP Dustan, great guy.
Great video guys! We have always loved the inspiration behind the Apple story- very similar to Matt's story here at Murray Roofing. Nice to see it in your video. Keep up the amazing work.
Always happy to feature solid roofing brand
Amazing! Congrats guys, so much to learn man!
What an amazing roofing company, love the organization & cleanliness, extremely professional culture, we will definitely be adding some of their products & processes
Owners are very humble! One the best roofing businesses we have visited
Great facility well organized and I love how you guys talked about doing less services makes a lot of sense, thanks!
That’s crazy man roofing insights is in town I’m a subcontractor for apple roofing and I watch your videos on RUclips it was cool seeing you here man . I’d never expect you coming over here that’s awesome!📈💯💯💯💯
Very cool!
How do you like working for them?
Nick Barrios how much are they paying for sq on normal architecture shingles
Good stuff! I love the cleanliness and organization. I gotta go clean now
Yes, go clean!
Such a great company example for everyone in the industry
Interview Baker Roofing VA. Great video by the way. I'm a roofer of 7 years now and I like seeing the insights of the company aspect of roofing rather than just the field work. I wouldnt mind seeing an interview with Cenvar Roofing either.
Great video Dimitry! What an impressive office wow!
Thank you, we were impressed!
Apple roofing is the FINEST Roof company I have ever seen in my 30 years of working in the roofing trade . PRIDE , GOD BLESS AMERICA , wish you all the best . For the few that said Eric Reno step up his game , he has shot his load . he does not pay his subs .
I love these videos. Especially the one of Avco since they are here with me. Apple roofing has a good system in place.
Both companies are amazing in culture and business side of things
Roofing Insights, I absolutely agree. One day I hope to grow to that size. We are going to be testing shingles using an attachment to a AR-15 like the can cannons soon. We do free vista upgrade and want to showcase its strengths. Gonna be some cool video content
I own a Landscaping biz and im the 1st to comment !! This roofing biz interest me and its all due to your vids !
Good to have you!!! We can help you in this biz too!
Very insightful convo lol
Great content. I am small company in GA debating growing my company because of debt. Thanks for showing us that debt can be managed.
Glad it was helpful, Reggie!
Great review of a solid company
Thanks Robert!!! Was great to see you today!!!
Maybe I missed it, but how many employees do they have? In-house crews or sub out the jobs? Great interviews always!
More info coming in interview, they have 60
Employees
These are the videos we love to see! Any way you could interview some residential retail dominate companies!
nominate one!
Brothers Aluminum in Valley Stream, NY dominate Long Island for over 40 years, ask for Tedy tell him Fredy Sanchez sent you 👍🏼
It cannot be a coincidence that they are in Lincoln Nebraska. Their business strategy seems to be right out of Warren Buffets playbook. Vertical integration, reinvest everything, strong brand, and a huge competitive advantage.
love this comment youve nailed it
Awesome video. Apple Roofing seams to be a great company.
We don’t come to bad apples
Roofing Insights lol 😂 jokes to the core
Dustan is the chart at 34:00 in tablou?
Nice video and very inspirational , Dimitry! We salute You from Romania ( we are a small landscape-company) ....near youre home Country.
💪💪💪 I was born in Moldova, grew up in Siberia
@@RoofingInsights3.0 WOW ! Cool. I;m planing to came in SUA for learning about buisness and visit a little bit again after 12 years.. ( when i was a student i was in SUA 4 times and working at Cedar Point in Ohio- Sandusky / in the summer vacation :). Hope to see you in real.
Always enjoy getting a peak inside a big operation like this. I never realized until I watched this that double stacking pallets of shingles caused issues. Wished you all had explained why. I don't like the placement of shingles on one of those peak pallets because of the excessive weight in one spot could go right through the roof. I've seen that happen. All the branding on such things as nails is a little overboard, lot of money tied up to impress the roofing crew. Take that savings and spend on a much better shingle than IKO which leaves a pattern all over the roof that looks like a zebra. That's why I don't use that brand because they look like Fido's Ass and there's your sign in the front yard letting people know who did it.
double stacking is the easiest way for roofing manufacturer to walk out on the warranty...
I think you should interview the biggest roofing company in St.Louis, John steal roofing. I mean John Beal roofing....
what made you say that? Tell us more, we will investigate... roofing is our game...
Quote of the century:
"Well, you're not gonna have any roofing jobs if you're doing fences"
Nailed it
@@RoofingInsights3.0 pun intended? 😁
Contractors should not be in bed with insurance companies. Red Flag.
Eric Reno gotta step his game up after watching this video! 😅
lol, good point, we just don't think he cares

Did I miss profit margins? They seem like they have LOTS OF OVERHEAD. I’d be shocked if they clear 10 percent
They reinvest everything back in company. They might be loosing money as far as profit goes but they might be adding $1M in value per year other ways. For example: their facility is worth $6m. Let’s say they didn’t show profit for 3 years but paid it off. Sure you didn’t have 10% profit but you have more than that in real estate and assets.
You can avoid paying taxes that way too right? This is what amazon has done, correct?
@@derrickvision9547 cash flow and taxes will often not match. Certain assets can be written off directly, but not all. As tax laws change, each scenario can be very different. You can finance an asset longer than the tax write-off as well (the opposite of what Apple does).
Roofing Insights 10.4 I get it. On paper they lose money but bank balance grows. You know us foreigners think diff from traditional accounting principals lol. I get it tho.
Roofing Insights but at same time no debt with 20 mill they should at least be making something. Even if it’s 5 percent
I should send pictures of my one garage
One latter truck and one dump lol
This is going to be us in 2 years
I thought IKO was, well, “crap”, why go with it than ? - are they targeting “budget” cheaper projects ?
not according to Apple Roofing....
We are 95 percent iko dynasty as well. And there definently top tier shingles
You were literally just siding a house in my home town 6 hours away from Lincoln... like three months ago... naturally in my market not yours, then you say “we don’t do siding”...
Then “we’re all about cost... what’s it cost”
Three minutes earlier “how much does buying bulk save you?” “Well I’m not sure”
What in the holy hell....
Dustan, sadly Schank Roofing as well as his brothers company Twin City Roofing are nothing but bullies in Scottsbluff, NE but because they’ve been here forever, they think they own the town. I’ve torn off countless roofs they’ve done in the past and I’m not kidding I’ve had to remove 5-6 layers of felt over the top of 10” plank boards with 1/2” gaps and an enforceable code. This bozo is just jealous. You’ve built an incredible company on your leadership. Keep up the good work.
Steve Rodenbaugh
So because it’s a roof in Scottsbluff it automatically means I was the previous contractor? He’s my uncle by the way not brother. Multiple layers of felt suck I know because I’ve been tearing them off all summer long and continue to do so right now. I guess I may be a bozo but at least I don’t shingle 2/12 pitch buildings.
On another note your right they have built an amazing company and I have nothing bad to say about them, just like I’ve never tried to run your name in the ground to any of my customers. My previous comment probably came off a little harsh and that’s not the way I meant it to, I used a poor choice of words so I should apologize Dustan it may seem like I was bashing but I was asking.
Brock Schank 2/12 with double synthetic underlayment meets local code and manufacture installation instructions. Anything else code related I can help you with? Just let me know. Happy to help.
this company is like the 100 Theives of Roofing lol
why would you say that? please explain?
Dmitry 100 theives is an elite esports group...
Guess it's all what you make of it
June 2021, we listed our home for sale, we quickly were under contract by roughly June 13th. Per our agreement with the buyer we were asked to put a new roof on. Apple roofing was recommended to us, so we went with them. Do I regret it, yes, I 100% do. Let me preface this by saying our close date was on July 27th, that was the day we had to be packed up and moved out of our home. While reading what I have to say think about this. I was packing up an entire house by myself, because my husband worked in Chandler and was living in Chandler. I was tending to three kids, working, selling a our home and dealing with what you’re about to read.
On July 20th, 2021, the roofers started to remove the old shingles, we also had our final walk-thru with the buyers that morning and the walk-thru went perfect. On July 21st at approximately 3pm my AC stopped working. I called Martin from apple roofing, he told me he would be at my house to figure out what happened. After them checking somethings, they concluded to call Oscars heating and cooling (not my choice). Oscars came out and checked my unit and said that I was out of freon, but that also my unit was old (a new one was put in March 2013), and we potentially needed a new one. We decided to put freon in the unit, which was going to cost $900. Per the hvac technician the unit wasn’t taking the freon and the tech wasn’t sure why, he said that we would come back the next day because it was dark at that point.
On July 22nd, the owner of Oscars heating and cooling came to our house because he wanted to check our attic and the AC equipment, at the same time Martin from Apple roofing showed up. At this point I could tell Martin was freaking out because there was the possibility that his roofers’ nails hit something that caused my AC to go out. I honestly had that feeling, because I just had an inspection for the buyers and everything was sound, and the same time they’re working on my roof my AC suddenly goes out. Martin even told me if they did hit something they would fix it.
Oscar, the hvac tech said that he couldn’t see a nail that hit anything in the attic and our unit was old. I spoke with my realtor, and she advised me that we were contractually obligated to deliver the new owners a house with a working AC unit. So that is what we did, we purchased a new AC unit for $5,000.00. On July 26th the new AC unit was scheduled to be installed at 9am. The AC techs got there and were putting everything together. They were finishing and running tests to make sure everything was running. However, this is where things got even worse. The AC unit itself was working but it was not putting out cold air. The techs started to inspect, the found that a roofing nail had punctured a coper line underneath the overhang of the roof. The techs called their boss, Oscar and had Oscar go out. Martin from Apple roofing showed up and was cussing up a storm due to his roofer’s mistake, because they had caused our AC unit to go out as well as we had to shell out $5k for AC unit, which it was money we were not expecting to pay.
The techs unfortunately couldn’t do anything until this copper line was fixed. However, in order to fix the copper line, the roofers who had just finished the roof that day, had to tear a portion of the roof off so that the line could be welded. Martin had to then call his boss and get the okay to pay the AC techs to weld the line back together. During this time, Martin was avoiding me big time. So, I went inside called my husband and told him what was going on.
I am going to digress in this story. When we hired Martin from Apple roofing, he said he would take care of all the insurance stuff, which he did. He submitted what he needed to. He said that the insurance would send me a check for the portion of what the roof would cost, and the rest once Martin submitted the completion paperwork and photos. We also had a 1k deductible with our insurance. We got our first check on July 6th. On July 6th, 2021, I called Martin and told him that I got the insurance check in. He came to our house, and I wrote him a check in the amount of $5,412.84, which was what the insurance company sent. We agreed that I would pay the deductible and the remaining balance, of $4,149.24 when I got the 2nd check from the insurance company, with $3,149.29 being from the insurance and $1000.00 from us directly. We also agreed that since we were moving to Chandler, Az that he or an associate would pick up the check from me when ready.
Now, to go back. I called my husband, and we discussed the situation, and both agreed that Apple Roofing was responsible for the cost of the new AC unit that we had to put in, due to a roofer puncturing a copper line with a roofing nail. Not only were they responsible for that, but also the hotel that I had to book for three nights because our house was 95 degrees and unbearable to sleep in or be in.
Martin and a few other roofers were tearing off the roof on the area where the copper line needed to be replaced, this went on for a few hours. I went outside to go speak with Martin to see how we were going to handle their mistake. I found out he took off, at that point I called him. I asked him when he would be coming back because we needed to speak about this, and he said that he was busy and had other things to do. I told him that there needs to be a solution, because if not I would take legal action. After that conversation I got the impression that he didn’t care. So, my husband and I cancelled the check we wrote to Apple Roofing ($5,412.84), because we felt we needed a solution to this issue in order to go forward with payment.
The AC techs finished testing the system after they were able to weld the line together. I spoke with them, and they showed me pictures of the punctured line as well as other nails throughout the house that went all the way through the roof, they were careless.
On July 27th, we moved out of our house. What started off as a very emotional thing to sell our house and move to another city turned into such an awful experience due to Apple roofing incompetence. I was so stressed out because I couldn’t have my children in my home while I was packing because it was 95 degrees in the house, but a few times during the day I had to because I had nowhere else to leave them. I was constantly crying. I could have really got passed this if it weren’t for the gaslighting, that Martin and branch manger Kevin tried to pull on me and if they would have just owned up to their mistake. What I am writing now doesn’t even do justice to what my family and I went through.
Shortly after moving I didn’t hear back from Martin. He finally called me and still didn’t have a resolution, I told him again that we were willing to go to whatever lengths necessary within the legal system to sort this out.
On August 6th, I contacted Kevin the branch manager, since speaking with Martin wasn’t getting anywhere. This is where the gaslighting took place. He started to say things like your unit was old and made me feel like they were doing me a favor because they were going to try and get this covered by their insurance as a loss. Yes, our AC was older (2013), but was still in working condition and was presented to the new owners and home inspector in working condition and when they started working on our roof, it was no longer in working condition because the roofers hit the line, freon was leaking all day, therefore the ac unit was running without freon and eventually gave out. It was really an awful conversation and experience. I told Kevin that, we wanted what we paid for the AC unit and what we had to pay for our hotel stay, which was around $300. I didn’t even ask what I had to pay for food because we had to eat out a lot. He told me he would submit my receipts to their insurance company and get back to me.
We continue to receive bills in the mail, and I had still hadn’t heard back from Kevin. On October 25th, 2021, I reached out to Kevin again, he emailed me back “we got the work all done. I’m working on the insurance to get it all straightened out.”
As of March 25th, 2022, we got another bill, so I emailed Kevin, because guess what he never got back to me. I emailed him this “I just wanted to follow-up on this matter. I am still receiving bills with interest building up on this account. I would like to wrap up this issue as soon as possible, it is coming up on a year now.” His response “Hey Christina, you can send payment in or call to pay.” My response “The bill doesn't reflect the actual amount owed. Can I get a current bill of the new amount after the revisions from your insurance company?”
This was on March 25th, 2022, and again no reply back as of today March 29, 2022. What we should owe to them is the deductible 1k, plus the remained of what the insurance sent minus the cost of the AC unit and the hotel. Today is March 29, 2022, and as of today Apple roofing never submitted the completion paperwork to our insurance company.
I would like to add that on July 24th, 2021, I did leave Apple roofing a good review because Martin asked me to and honestly up to all of that happening and just thinking our ac went out because it was older, it was a pleasure working with Martin. But, oh man did severally tarnish that rapport with me.
So, if you got this far reading my review my solid advice is DON’T use this company, save yourself the headache.
No, apple roofing is a great company, you just got a bad experience
Midshore Exteriors LLC, Eastern shore Maryland
Husband and wife company, 18 years in business, 5 million in sales last year, which is pretty incredible for a small town
Shut up
When he says a few roofs here and there i my world that translates to a years worth of work.
second that: big roofing companies make it look easy...
This company didnt make its money from roofing. They had to invest outside money to start this company. Its to much invesment.
This guys are investors....not roofers
RIP Dustan, very good man left us too soon.
