Commercial Roof Installation

Commercial Roofing Materials and Technologies

We prioritize durable, energy-efficient, and cost-effective roofing materials tailored to commercial flat roofs. Our selections focus on long-term performance, ease of maintenance, and weather resistance specific to Milwaukee’s climate.

Single Ply Membranes

Single ply membranes, such as TPO, EPDM, and PVC, are popular for commercial flat roofs due to their flexibility and waterproofing capabilities. These synthetic sheets are installed in large, seamless sheets to reduce leak risk, which is crucial for commercial buildings.


We choose membranes based on project needs. TPO offers strong UV resistance and heat reflection, which improves energy efficiency. EPDM is known for its durability and ease of installation. PVC provides excellent chemical resistance and fire retardance. Each option allows quick installation and lower maintenance costs in the long run.

Modified Bitumen Systems

Modified bitumen is a multi-layer roofing system made from asphalt combined with modifiers like APP or SBS, enhancing elasticity and durability. It is typically applied in sheets with heat or adhesives, forming a tough barrier against environmental stress.


This system is valuable for buildings exposed to heavy foot traffic or harsh weather. Its layered construction allows better flexibility and resistance to cracking compared to traditional asphalt roofs. We often recommend modified bitumen for its balance of performance and cost-effectiveness on flat commercial roofs.

Insulation and Energy Efficiency

Proper insulation directly impacts energy costs for commercial properties. We install rigid foam boards or polyisocyanurate insulation to increase thermal resistance and reduce heat transfer through the roof.



Energy-efficient roofs also incorporate reflective surface coatings or membranes to lower cooling loads. In Milwaukee’s variable climate, combining insulation with reflective materials helps maintain stable indoor temperatures and meet energy codes. We tailor insulation solutions to maximize savings and comfort.

Waterproofing Solutions

Waterproofing is critical to prevent structural damage and ensure roof longevity. We use advanced liquid-applied membranes that create seamless, flexible barriers conforming to irregular surfaces.


These solutions are ideal for sealing joints, penetrations, and repairs. Additionally, we integrate drainage enhancements like tapered insulation to avoid standing water, a common issue on flat roofs. Our waterproofing methods prioritize durability and adaptability to evolving roofing challenges.

Project Planning and Support

We focus on detailed planning and clear communication throughout every commercial roof installation project. Our approach ensures efficient execution, solid cost control, and long-term roof performance.

Customized Consultation

We begin by thoroughly assessing your building’s structure, roof type, and unique needs. This allows us to recommend the best materials and installation methods tailored specifically to your facility.



Our team reviews factors such as building use, weather exposure, and energy efficiency goals. We then provide clear guidance on options like TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen roofing systems.


Each project consultation includes a site inspection and discussion of your timeline and budget. This personalized approach minimizes surprises and aligns expectations from the start.

Transparent Pricing and Estimates

We provide detailed, itemized estimates so you can see exactly how costs break down. This includes labor, materials, permitting, and any additional services.


Our pricing reflects current market rates and is designed to avoid hidden fees. We explain all figures clearly and remain available to answer any questions during the bidding process.


By keeping pricing open and straightforward, we help you make informed decisions and plan your capital expenditures confidently.

  • What factors affect commercial roof installation pricing in Wisconsin?

    Several factors impact commercial roof installation pricing in Wisconsin. Roof size and accessibility significantly influence costs, as do material selection (EPDM, TPO, modified bitumen, etc.). Building height, existing roof condition if replacing, insulation requirements for Wisconsin's climate, and structural modifications all affect final pricing. Seasonal timing can also impact costs, with winter installations sometimes requiring additional measures.

  • How long does a commercial flat roof installation take in Milwaukee?

    A typical commercial flat roof installation in Milwaukee takes between 1-3 weeks. Smaller projects (under 5,000 sq ft) can often be completed in 5-7 business days, while larger or more complex installations may require 3-4 weeks. Wisconsin weather conditions can impact scheduling, but our experienced crews work efficiently to minimize business disruption while ensuring quality installation.

  • What types of commercial flat roofing materials do you install in Milwaukee?

    We install a complete range of commercial flat roofing systems in Milwaukee including TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin), EPDM (rubber roofing), PVC membranes, modified bitumen, built-up roofing (BUR), and spray polyurethane foam systems. Each system offers different advantages for Wisconsin's climate, from enhanced energy efficiency to superior durability in freeze-thaw conditions. We help clients select the ideal material based on building requirements and budget.
