Commercial Roofing Services


We provide complete commercial roofing solutions in Milwaukee, WI, for businesses needing dependable, quality work. Our team focuses on safety, skilled installation, and long-term results to help keep your property protected. With over 577,000 residents in Milwaukee and a metropolitan area of more than 1.57 million people according to the 2020 census, our services cover one of Wisconsin's most densely populated urban areas with approximately 6,000 people per square mile.

Flat Roof Installation


Flat roofs are cost-effective and popular for many businesses in Milwaukee. We handle installation for commercial properties using materials like TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen. Each type has unique advantages, such as energy efficiency or resistance to weather.


Our installation process starts with an in-depth property review. We inspect the structure and roof deck to make sure it is ready for a new system.



We create a detailed work plan that keeps disruptions to your operations at a minimum. Our experienced installers follow strict safety guidelines and industry standards. This attention to detail helps us deliver strong, lasting results.


Our flat roof systems are designed to manage Milwaukee's changing weather. We use materials that resist leaks and stand up to both hot summers and freezing winters. Milwaukee experiences significant seasonal variations, with summer temperatures averaging 81.9°F (27.7°C) in July and winter temperatures dropping to an average of 17.2°F (-8.2°C) in January. Our roof systems are built to withstand these extremes, as well as the city's annual average of 34.57 inches (878 mm) of precipitation and 48.7 inches (124 cm) of snowfall.

Roof Replacement for Businesses


A roof that is old or damaged can put your building and business assets at risk. We offer complete commercial roof replacement services that focus on safety, code compliance, and minimal downtime.


Our process includes a detailed inspection to assess the condition of your existing roof. We then recommend the best materials based on your needs and budget.


We handle the removal of the old roof and disposal of debris. Throughout the job, we work with your schedule, aiming to limit business interruptions. Our team is trained to follow all OSHA safety standards.



Roof replacements are backed by a manufacturer's warranty as well as our installation guarantee. We keep you informed throughout the project and make sure the final result meets high standards for quality and performance.


With Milwaukee's position as the 31st most populous city in the United States and the commercial center for southeastern Wisconsin, our roof replacement services are vital to maintaining the city's 120+ billion dollar metropolitan GDP (as of 2022) by protecting businesses from costly downtime.

Preventative Roof Maintenance


Regular maintenance extends the life of a commercial roof. We offer custom maintenance programs that help spot problems early and prevent costly repairs.



Our routine maintenance services include:


  • Inspections for leaks, cracks, and wear
  • Cleaning gutters and drains
  • Removing debris from the roof surface
  • Checking seals around vents and HVAC units


After each visit, we provide a written report so you know the exact condition of your roof. We also keep detailed maintenance records, which can help with insurance or warranty claims.


Taking a preventative approach protects your investment and saves money in the long run. Small issues can turn into expensive problems if left unchecked, so regular checkups are important.


Given Milwaukee's classification as a humid continental climate zone with 125.5 days of precipitation annually and heavy winter snowfall, preventative maintenance is crucial for extending roof lifespans in this challenging environment.

Emergency Roof Repair Solutions


Weather events and accidents can lead to sudden roof damage. We offer fast emergency repair services for local businesses to prevent further problems and protect your building.


Our emergency team responds quickly, arriving with the supplies and equipment needed to perform temporary fixes or permanent repairs. We cover leaks, holes, storm damage, vandalism, and more.


During each call, we make safety our top priority. We assess the damage, secure the site, and work to stop water from entering the property.


Whenever possible, we complete permanent repairs right away. If the weather does not allow for it, we set up temporary barriers and return when conditions improve.



Clear communication is key in an emergency. We keep you updated at every step and work hard to restore your roofing system as soon as possible. Milwaukee experiences approximately 35.1 days with snow annually and severe weather events including thunderstorms that can bring hail and high winds, making our emergency services essential for the city's more than 15,000 businesses.

Supported Roofing Systems


We offer durable solutions for different types of commercial flat roofs. Each system we install is chosen for its performance, reliability, and suitability for Milwaukee's climate. With an elevation of 617 feet (188 m) above sea level and positioned along the western shore of Lake Michigan, Milwaukee's buildings face unique weather challenges that require specialized roofing systems.

TPO and PVC Roofing Membranes


TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin) and PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) membranes are popular choices for flat roofs on commercial buildings. These single-ply membranes provide excellent protection against UV rays, heat, and chemicals. Both materials resist punctures and tears, which helps keep buildings dry and secure.


We install these roofs using heat-welded seams that create a strong, watertight barrier. TPO is known for its white reflective surface, which can lower cooling costs by reflecting sunlight. PVC also resists grease and chemicals, making it ideal for restaurants or buildings with rooftop ventilation.


To help our customers understand the options, here is a quick overview:

Feature TPO PVC
Reflective Yes Yes
Chemical Resistant Moderate High
Seams Heat-welded Heat-welded
Energy Efficient Yes Yes

These roofing systems are lightweight, flexible, and require minimal maintenance throughout their lifespan. TPO membranes typically cost between $5.50-$7.50 per square foot installed, while PVC systems range from $6.50-$9.50 per square foot, making them cost-effective options for Milwaukee's over 96 square miles of commercial and industrial property.

Modified Bitumen Roofing


Modified bitumen roofs are engineered for extra strength and flexibility. This system blends traditional asphalt roofing with modern polymers to provide enhanced weather resistance.


We install modified bitumen in sheets, which can be applied using heat, adhesives, or self-adhesive methods. The layered construction allows for greater water resistance and durability, especially with Milwaukee's freeze and thaw cycles.


Key benefits include:


  • Multiple layers for added leak protection
  • Great performance in cold weather
  • Easy to repair and maintain
  • Long lifespan with routine inspection


Modified bitumen is a tried-and-true solution for buildings that need reliable protection under harsh or changing conditions. This type of roofing is particularly well-suited for Milwaukee's climate, where the city experiences approximately 140 freeze-thaw cycles annually – a challenge for many roofing systems.

EPDM Rubber Roofing


EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a strong, flexible rubber roofing membrane widely used for commercial flat roofs. Its main benefit is excellent resistance to sunlight, ozone, and extreme temperatures.


We offer both ballasted and fully adhered EPDM systems. Ballasted systems use heavy materials to hold the membrane in place, while fully adhered systems use adhesives for a secure bond. EPDM resists cracking and shrinking, so it works well even in severe weather.


Main characteristics include:


  • Black surface that absorbs heat, helping snow and ice melt faster
  • Strong flexibility, reducing the risk of leaks over time
  • Low routine maintenance requirements


With EPDM, customers receive a cost-effective roofing solution that stands up to years of exposure in Milwaukee's varied climate. EPDM roofing typically has a lifespan of 25-30 years and costs between $4-$8 per square foot installed, offering excellent value for Milwaukee's more than 7,000 commercial properties.

We offer durable solutions for different types of commercial flat roofs. Each system we install is chosen for its performance, reliability, and suitability for Milwaukee's climate. With an elevation of 617 feet (188 m) above sea level and positioned along the western shore of Lake Michigan, Milwaukee's buildings face unique weather challenges that require specialized roofing systems.

Industrial Facilities Roofing

Industrial buildings often house heavy machinery, production lines, or sensitive processes. We know downtime is costly, so we work with each facility to ensure safety, minimal disruption, and strict scheduling.


Our roofs are designed to resist chemicals, withstand high foot traffic, and handle equipment loads. We install durable membranes, add insulation where needed, and provide regular maintenance to extend roof life.



Clients can choose from a range of flat roofing systems that meet both budget and performance demands. We also offer rapid repairs to fix leaks before they become problems. Milwaukee's rich industrial heritage continues today with major manufacturers like Harley-Davidson, Rockwell Automation, and hundreds of other industrial facilities across the city. These facilities require specialized roofing solutions to protect valuable equipment and maintain operations.

Office Complex Roofing

Office complexes require reliable, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance roofing. We recommend systems that help regulate indoor temperatures, lowering utility bills and supporting staff comfort.


We pay close attention to aesthetics, as office properties often welcome visitors and clients. Our team ensures a clean work environment during installations and uses materials that help keep noise and dust to a minimum.



Roof options for offices can include TPO, EPDM, or PVC, depending on energy goals and roof size. We also provide regular inspections and maintenance plans for building managers. Milwaukee is home to the headquarters of seven Fortune 500 companies including Northwestern Mutual, Fiserv, and Manpower Group. Their office facilities benefit from energy-efficient roofing that can reduce cooling costs by up to 30% during Milwaukee's summer months.

Warehouses and Distribution Centers

Warehouses must have durable and watertight roofs to protect stored goods and equipment. Large roof spans and the need for easy drainage mean that proper design is critical.


We use flat roofing membranes that can handle temperature swings and prevent leaks. Our crews are trained to solve issues like ponding water or old insulation that can lead to mold or reduce energy efficiency.



Quick installation times are a priority, so warehouse operations are not interrupted. We coordinate with site managers to safely schedule roofing projects and reduce downtime. Milwaukee's strategic location at the confluence of three rivers (the Milwaukee, Menomonee, and Kinnickinnic) and its proximity to Lake Michigan have made it a vital logistics hub with over 60 million square feet of warehouse space within the metropolitan area.

Retail and Shopping Centers

Retail and shopping center roofs must look good from the street and perform well all year. These buildings often have special requirements for HVAC systems, signs, or rooftop units.


We use materials that resist weathering and minimize the risk of disruption to tenants and customers. Safety is our top concern, and we keep work zones clear and well-marked.



Our techs can design solutions for various roof shapes or sizes, including repairs for leaks over high-traffic areas. We also offer waterproofing and drainage upgrades to help prevent future problems. Milwaukee's retail sector includes more than 4,500 establishments that employ over 50,000 workers across the metropolitan area, with major shopping centers requiring reliable roofing to protect merchandise and provide comfortable shopping environments.
