Our Installation Services

We focus on precision, quality materials, and strict compliance to deliver durable modified bitumen roofing systems. Our methods reflect industry standards and local regulations to ensure your commercial flat roof withstands Milwaukee’s climate.

Professional Installation 

We begin with a thorough inspection of your existing roof to assess substrate condition and drainage. Preparation includes cleaning, repairing damages, and ensuring a smooth surface for adhesion.


Our team applies base sheets, followed by the modified bitumen layers using torch-down or cold-applied techniques depending on the project. We use controlled heat application when torching to secure strong bonding without damaging the substrate.


Every step prioritizes airtight seals and proper flashing around edges, vents, and other roof penetrations. We perform detailed quality checks during and after installation to avoid leaks and premature wear.

Wide Material Selection

We offer both APP (Atactic Polypropylene) and SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) modified bitumen membranes. APP materials provide UV resistance and flexibility suited for warmer climates, while SBS offers excellent elasticity in fluctuating temperatures common in Milwaukee.


Our membranes are typically reinforced with polyester or fiberglass mats for enhanced durability and tear resistance. We also use polyester for longer-term stability and improved waterproofing.


These materials resist water penetration and withstand freeze-thaw cycles, reducing maintenance costs. Additionally, cool roofing options minimize heat absorption, increasing energy efficiency in your building.

Compliance and Safety Standards

All installations adhere to Milwaukee’s building codes and environmental regulations to guarantee proper permits and inspections. We maintain OSHA-compliant safety practices on-site, including fall protection and hazard management.


Our team is trained to manage hazardous materials responsibly and ensure fire-safe practices during torch-down applications. We document all compliance measures and provide clients with required certification and warranty documentation.


By aligning with local standards, we help avoid project delays and ensure your roof meets all city requirements for performance and safety.

Consultation Services

During this phase, we explain the modified bitumen installation process and material options, allowing you to make informed decisions. We also identify any potential challenges early to minimize surprises during installation.


Our goal is to offer clear, practical advice that aligns with your commercial roofing needs and long-term performance expectations.

Tailored Maintenance Programs

Maintaining the integrity of a modified bitumen roof is crucial for extending its lifespan. We create personalized maintenance plans based on your roof’s condition, age, and local climate considerations.

We maintain transparency about our qualifications, certifications, and customer satisfaction. This helps you feel confident in choosing us for your modified bitumen roofing needs.

  • How much does modified bitumen roof installation cost for commercial buildings in Milwaukee?

    Modified bitumen roof installation in Milwaukee typically costs between $7-$10 per square foot for commercial buildings. For a 10,000 square foot commercial roof, expect to pay approximately $70,000-$100,000. Factors affecting cost include roof accessibility, existing roof condition, insulation requirements, and whether a tear-off is needed.

  • What is the lifespan of a modified bitumen roof in Wisconsin's climate?

    A properly installed modified bitumen roof in Wisconsin's climate will last approximately 15-20 years. Regular maintenance and professional inspections can extend this lifespan. The multi-layer system provides excellent durability against Wisconsin's temperature fluctuations, heavy snowfall, and freeze-thaw cycles.


  • Does modified bitumen roofing perform well in Milwaukee's harsh winters?

    Yes, modified bitumen roofing performs exceptionally well in Milwaukee's harsh winters. Its multiple layers and rubberized asphalt composition provide excellent flexibility and crack resistance during extreme temperature changes. The membrane remains pliable even in below-freezing conditions, and its dark surface helps melt snow faster than other roofing systems.

  • How long does it take to install a modified bitumen roof on a commercial building?

    Installation time for a modified bitumen roof on a commercial building typically ranges from 1-3 weeks, depending on the roof size, weather conditions, and project complexity. A standard 10,000 square foot commercial roof usually takes about 7-10 working days with a professional crew. The installation process includes preparation, insulation placement, membrane application, and finishing details.

  • Are modified bitumen roofs energy-efficient for Wisconsin commercial properties?

    Modified bitumen roofs offer moderate energy efficiency for Wisconsin commercial properties. While traditional black modified bitumen absorbs heat, reflective coatings can be applied to create a "cool roof" that reflects solar radiation and reduces cooling costs in summer. Additionally, the multi-layer system provides good insulation properties that help maintain consistent indoor temperatures year-round, reducing heating costs during Wisconsin's cold winters.
