What Taktekker Frantzen Eftf. AS does

Taktekker Frantzen Eftf. AS is a family-owned roofing and sheet metal contractor (taktekker og blikkenslager) headquartered in Øvre Ervik, Bergen, Norway. Founded in the late 1920s by Blikkenslager Frantz Frantzen, the company has operated continuously for approximately 90 years across four generations of family ownership and is currently led by Jan Kenneth Frantzen Nordvik. The core service offering is organized into two divisions: roofing (taktekking) covering installation and rehabilitation of clay tile, glazed tile, concrete tile, slate, flat roof membranes, panel roofs, and metal band roofing; and sheet metal work (blikkenslager) covering custom fabrication and installation of flashing, gutters, downpipes, chimney components, and Velux-certified skylights. In-house metal fabrication uses modern computer-controlled bending machines to produce bespoke flashing and architectural metalwork, and the company holds the Mesterbrev Master Craftsman certification, Taktekker Godkjent approved-roofer status, and an AAA credit rating from Bisnode.

The business serves four primary customer segments in the Bergen and Hordaland region: private homeowners, housing cooperatives and housing associations (borettslag and sameie), commercial property owners and real estate companies (including DNB Næringseiendom, Odfjell Eiendom, and Realforum), and professional builders and contractors (including Veidekke Entreprenør and NorgesMøllene). Since 2015, the company has completed work for more than 50 borettslag and over 250 sameie, and it executes 450-550 projects per year.

The revenue model is predominantly project-based, quote-driven contracting following a free on-site inspection (befaring), with recurring annual maintenance/service agreements offered to housing cooperatives and commercial property owners. The company employs approximately 18-21 staff, generates roughly NOK 30 million in annual revenue, and reaches customers through organic search, content marketing, direct outreach, and referrals. Distribution is exclusively direct; there are no resellers or marketplace channels, and operations are confined to a single domestic region.
