At Pete’s Builders, we take pride in delivering top-tier commercial roofing solutions across Wyoming—and our recent project at 514 Desmet Dr in Cheyenne is a perfect example of that commitment in action.
This wasn’t just another roof. This was a multi-unit commercial property that needed serious attention to fix long-standing issues, increase durability, and future-proof the building for years to come. Let’s take a closer look at the work that went into this commercial roofing transformation—and why it matters for local property owners like you.
The Property: 514 Desmet Dr – A Large Commercial Building in Cheyenne
Located in the heart of Cheyenne, 514 Desmet Dr is a multi-family and commercial-use property that serves both residents and business tenants. With multiple entrances, exterior features like siding, overhangs, and a large flat-parking area, this building gets a lot of use—and the roof had started to show signs of wear.
Water stains, aging shingles, and sections of roofing that were no longer up to code made this a high-priority renovation. And given the Wyoming climate—where we experience heavy snow loads, hail, strong winds, and hot summer UV—choosing the right contractor was crucial for long-term value.
What the Client Needed: More Than Just a Patch Job
The property owners of 514 Desmet Dr didn’t want a “quick fix.” They needed a complete roofing solution that could:
- Withstand Cheyenne’s harsh weather year-round
- Improve the building’s insulation and energy performance
- Prevent water damage and leaks in both units and communal areas
- Match the overall aesthetic of the building
- Stay within a realistic commercial property maintenance budget
They were also looking for a roofing partner who could work efficiently with minimal disruption to tenants and without delaying day-to-day operations. That’s where we stepped in.
Step-by-Step: How Pete’s Builders Delivered Results
We began with a comprehensive roof inspection, walking the entire structure, examining gutters, flashing, soffits, and checking for structural integrity in areas like:
- Dormers and overhangs
- Wall intersections
- HVAC penetrations
- Existing damage caused by moisture
From there, we planned a complete tear-off and re-roof, using commercial-grade roofing systems ideal for Wyoming’s variable climate.
Materials That Last
For this commercial roof replacement, we selected a high-performance asphalt shingle system with impact resistance (Class 4), UV protection, and a long manufacturer’s warranty. We also reinforced areas around vents, valleys, and roof-to-wall joints to prevent future leaks and ice damming.
Before & After: The Visual Difference
When you compare the old roof to the new one, the results speak for themselves.
Before:
- Weather-worn shingles
- Water streaking down siding
- Cracked seals around vents
- Loose flashing and sagging eaves
After:
- Clean lines with upgraded shingle color and style
- Reinforced gutters and downspouts
- Proper ventilation and insulation layers
- Tight seals around every penetration and joint
The building now looks refreshed, professional, and ready to serve its tenants without worry.
Why This Project Matters to Cheyenne Business & Property Owners
Whether you manage multi-unit rental buildings, office spaces, or storefronts in Cheyenne, your roof is one of your most critical assets. It protects your investment, affects your energy bills, and directly influences tenant satisfaction and retention.
Here’s what this project highlights for commercial property owners in Cheyenne:
1. Roofing Is Not One-Size-Fits-All
What works for a small single-family home won’t work for a multi-unit complex. Our approach to 514 Desmet Dr involved commercial-grade materials, compliance with building codes, and a design that supported both function and curb appeal.
2. ROI Is Real
A properly installed commercial roof isn’t just an expense—it’s an investment. Not only will it last longer, but it adds value to the property, reduces repair costs, and improves leasing potential.
3. Local Matters
We’re based right here in Cheyenne, so we understand what local buildings face—from hailstorms to heavy snow, freezing winters to dry, sunny summers. Our materials and techniques are chosen specifically to perform in our region.
