American Building Contractors

What American Building Contractors does

American Building Contractors (DBA ABCwillhelp) is a privately-held general contractor founded in 1998 and headquartered in Burnsville, Minnesota, operating across 44 states from two physical offices (Burnsville, MN and Arlington Heights, IL). The company offers five integrated service lines: single-family roofing and siding replacement, window replacement, multi-family roofing and siding for community associations, commercial flat-roof repair and replacement (TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen), and end-to-end insurance restoration services. Its primary brand positioning is "The Insurance Restoration Experts," supported by an in-house estimating team staffed by former insurance claims adjusters who use the same estimating software as insurance carriers to construct scope-of-work documents and negotiate line items on-site with carrier adjusters, with escalation support from a partnership with Merlin Law Group for disputed claims. The company holds top-tier manufacturer certifications — GAF Master Elite and Owens Corning Platinum — placing it among the top 2% of contractors nationwide authorized to offer extended manufacturer-backed workmanship warranties that survive contractor business discontinuity.

Underlying technology is conventional construction tooling plus industry-standard insurance estimating software rather than proprietary systems. Business model is project-based, with revenue generated per completed roofing, siding, or window replacement funded either by direct customer payment or insurance claim payouts. Pricing is quote-based and varies by project scope and geography; promotional financing tiers are offered (e.g., $155/month for shingle roofs and $375/month for tile roofs in Florida; $500-$2,500 per window with deferred-payment terms in Minnesota). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via phone and website inquiry forms, augmented by referral relationships with property management companies, community association managers, and HOA boards — formalized through partnerships with the Community Associations Institute (CAI) and CAMICB.

Customer segments are split between (a) individual homeowners affected by storm damage seeking insurance-restoration assistance (primary), (b) multi-family and community-scale customers requiring coordinated roofing/siding programs (community associations and HOAs), and (c) commercial property owners requiring flat-roof work. The business is bootstrapped with no disclosed parent company, institutional capital, or M&A history, and management composition is undisclosed. Cumulative operating metrics include $1B+ in completed insurance-restoration project value, 52,375 total projects, and 1,362 five-star reviews since founding.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Window World: Window World is the largest US window replacement franchise with adjacent roofing and siding offerings. Significant overlap on window replacement and financing-driven consumer experience, though window-skewed versus ABC's roofing-first mix.
• Tecta America: Tecta America is one of the largest US commercial roofing contractors with multi-state operations and OEM relationships with major manufacturers. Comparable in national footprint and warranty capabilities, but commercial-skewed whereas ABC is principally residential.
• Roofing Corp of America (RCA): RCA is a private-equity-backed platform roll-up of residential and commercial roofing contractors across multiple US states. Their consolidated scale and insurance restoration exposure make them a comparable incumbency peer, though they pursue acquisitive growth rather than ABC's organic model.

Direct peers

• Erie Construction: Erie Construction is a multi-state residential exterior contractor offering roofing, siding, and windows with insurance restoration as a core channel. Similar in-house estimating and customer support structure, comparable average ticket size, and identical SMB homeowner target customer.
• Storm Guard Roofing and Construction: Storm Guard is a national roofing and restoration franchise whose insurance restoration expertise, multi-state franchise model, and homeowner lead funnels make it one of the closest comps to ABC's service mix and value proposition.
• Klaus Roofing Systems: Klaus Roofing Systems is a Northeast-focused residential roofing franchise with comparable insurance restoration expertise and warranty-backed manufacturer partnerships. Operates at smaller geographic scale than ABC but mirrors the playbook.
• Bone Dry Roofing: Bone Dry Roofing operates a multi-state residential and commercial roofing franchise with insurance restoration work and warranty-backed manufacturer certifications. Highly comparable geographic expansion strategy and service portfolio.
• Power Home Remodeling: Power Home Remodeling is a major direct-to-consumer exterior remodeler specializing in roofing, siding, and windows with strong insurance restoration capabilities. Operates multi-state with similar customer targeting and full-service project management model closely paralleling ABC's offerings.

Others

• Renovate America (now Kfund) / Ygrene PACE financing ecosystem: Ygrene is a PACE financing provider enabling home improvement contractors to offer funded exterior projects. Comparable as an ecosystem enabler that helps contractors like ABC convert financed roofing/siding jobs, particularly relevant given ABC's emphasis on monthly payment offerings.

Emerging players

• Mighty Dog Roofing: Mighty Dog Roofing is an emerging franchise model targeting residential roofing, siding, and windows. Comparable service mix and insurance restoration focus, but executes through a low-capex franchise model versus ABC's directly-operated approach.
