Waukesha commercial roofing that protects your building.

Most Waukesha commercial roofs run $4 to $14 per square foot installed depending on the system: modified bitumen $4 to $8, EPDM rubber $5 to $11, TPO $5.50 to $12, and standing-seam metal $8 to $14. A roof coating or restoration runs $1.50 to $4 per square foot and can extend a sound roof 10 to 15 years for a fraction of replacement cost. We provide a written, line-item bid after a core sample and assessment.

Both are excellent single-ply membranes. TPO is a white, heat-reflective membrane that lowers cooling load and is hot-air welded at the seams, popular for Wisconsin retail and warehouse roofs. EPDM is a proven black rubber membrane that handles temperature swings and is easy to repair, often the value choice. The right pick depends on your building's sun exposure, energy goals, and budget, which we assess on-site.

If the membrane is generally sound with isolated leaks, seam failures, or ponding spots, repair or a coating restoration is usually the smart spend. Replacement makes sense when the membrane is widely brittle, saturated insulation shows on a moisture scan, or you are past two roof systems. We core-sample to see what is really in the assembly before recommending.

A roof coating is a fluid-applied membrane (silicone or acrylic) sprayed or rolled over a cleaned, sound existing roof to seal seams and add a reflective, waterproof layer. It can extend a roof 10 to 15 years at roughly a quarter to a third of replacement cost, and it avoids tear-off disruption. It only works on a roof that is structurally sound and dry, which our assessment confirms.

A typical Waukesha single-ply commercial roof installs at roughly 2,000 to 5,000 square feet per day depending on the system, deck, and rooftop equipment. A 20,000 square foot building often takes one to two weeks. We phase the work and dry-in each day so your operations and inventory stay protected.

We schedule around your operations, stage materials to keep loading docks and entrances clear, and work section by section so you stay open. For sensitive interiors, we coordinate odor and noise-sensitive work outside business hours. The goal is a watertight building with minimal downtime.

Yes. A scheduled maintenance program with biannual inspections, seam and flashing checks, drain clearing, and minor repairs is the cheapest way to protect a commercial roof. It catches small problems before they become interior damage and often satisfies manufacturer warranty requirements. We document every visit.

The usual culprits are failed seams and flashing at penetrations, curbs, and parapet walls; ponding water that sits more than 48 hours; clogged drains and scuppers; and punctures from foot traffic and rooftop equipment service. Most are repairable if caught before the insulation saturates.

We install TPO and EPDM single-ply membranes, modified bitumen, standing-seam and through-fastened metal, and fluid-applied coating restorations. We also handle tapered insulation to correct ponding, and tear-off or recover depending on the existing assembly and code.

For many Waukesha buildings, yes. A reflective white TPO membrane lowers summer cooling load and rooftop temperatures, which can reduce energy costs and extend membrane life. The benefit is largest on buildings with significant air conditioning and sun exposure; we model it against a darker membrane in our recommendation.

Yes. When hail or wind damages a commercial roof, we document the damage, provide a detailed scope, and work alongside your adjuster and property manager. Wisconsin gives you time to file, but prompt documentation protects the claim. We also handle emergency temporary repairs to stop active leaks.

Yes. We provide pre-purchase and pre-lease commercial roof condition assessments with core samples, moisture survey, remaining-life estimate, and a budget for repairs or replacement, the documentation buyers, sellers, and property managers need for due diligence.
