About

Established in 2016, Riverbend Roofing & Exteriors has three diverse and experienced owners who bring to the table a wealth of knowledge and expertise second to none.

Mike and Geris (Knudson) Hopfauf grew up in Mandan and stayed in Mandan to raise their three daughters. After over 30 years of owning and operating Hopfauf Custom Builders, both Mike and Geris are well versed in all things construction.

Their passion for only the best construction techniques, materials and carpenters, as well as a “bend-over-backward” customer service philosophy, earned Mike and Geris a respected reputation for creating one of the finest, award-winning building companies in the area, including three-time Bismarck-Mandan Home Builder of the Year and ND Home Builder of the Year. Mike and Geris bring those same standards to RiverBend Roofing & Exteriors.

Nick Welle grew up in Bismarck, graduated from UND in Grand Forks, and went on to become an expert in the insurance business and in roofing. He is a FEMA-registered disaster inspector and has been deployed for multiple natural disasters.

His Colorado company, Colorado Continental Roofing and Solar, has an A+ rating from the BBB, and has Denver/Boulder Gold Star awards for 2009, 2013, 2014 and 2015.

Nick’s love for ND drew him back to this area. His desire to be near family, hunting, fishing, UND hockey and NDSU football. He joined forces with Mike and Geris to create Riverbend Roofing & Exteriors. Nick’s goal is to make all of your insurance headaches go away.
