Our Flat Roof Installation Services
We prioritize thorough evaluation, quality materials, and precise installation steps for every flat roof project. Our approach ensures durability, weather resistance, and long-term performance.
Project Assessment
We begin by inspecting your building’s structure and existing roof condition. This helps us identify any underlying issues that need repair before installation.
We also evaluate drainage patterns, roof pitch, and load capacity to design a roofing system that fits your property precisely.
Our assessment includes discussing your preferences and budget to recommend the best solutions. This upfront planning reduces risks of leaks, pooling water, or premature wear.

Each material is sourced from trusted manufacturers. We guide you on the best choice based on your building’s needs and maintenance preferences.

Routine Flat Roof Inspections
We recommend scheduling inspections at least twice a year, preferably in spring and fall. During these inspections, we check for signs of wear such as cracks, pooling water, or membrane blisters.
Our team also examines flashing, seams, and drainage systems to ensure everything functions properly. Early detection of issues helps avoid expensive repairs later and extends the roof’s lifespan.
We provide detailed inspection reports, outlining current conditions and any recommended actions. Our inspections conform to industry standards and use advanced tools to identify hidden problems that are not always visible to the naked eye.

Frequently Asked Questions on Flat Roof Installation
We focus on factors that ensure quality, durability, and safety for flat roof installation projects. Choosing the right service impacts the lifespan and performance of your roof.
How much does flat roof installation cost?
Flat roof installation typically costs between $5-12 per square foot, depending on the material and building size. Commercial projects average $8,000-25,000 for most buildings, while residential flat roofs range from $4,000-12,000. Premium materials like TPO or modified bitumen cost more than basic EPDM, and factors like roof accessibility, insulation needs, and drainage requirements affect the final price.
What is the best flat roof material for commercial buildings?
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) is generally considered the best flat roof material for commercial buildings due to its energy efficiency, durability, and cost-effectiveness. It reflects heat well, resists UV damage, and typically lasts 15-20 years. EPDM rubber roofing is another excellent choice for its proven longevity and weather resistance, while modified bitumen works well for buildings requiring extra durability in harsh climates.
How long does flat roof installation take?
Most flat roof installations take 1-5 days depending on the building size and complexity. A typical 2,000 square foot commercial roof can be completed in 2-3 days with good weather conditions. Larger buildings or those requiring structural repairs may take up to a week. Weather delays are common, and removing old roofing materials can add 1-2 additional days to the project timeline.
Do I need a permit for flat roof installation in Kenosha?
Yes, you typically need a building permit for flat roof installation in Kenosha. Commercial buildings almost always require permits, while residential projects may need permits depending on the scope of work. Your roofing contractor should handle the permit application process, which usually takes 1-2 weeks for approval. Permit costs generally range from $100-500 depending on the project value and building type.
What's the difference between EPDM and TPO roofing?
EPDM is a black rubber membrane known for exceptional durability and weather resistance, typically lasting 20-25 years but absorbing more heat. TPO is a white thermoplastic membrane that reflects heat better, reducing cooling costs, but generally lasts 15-20 years. EPDM costs slightly less upfront and is easier to repair, while TPO offers better energy efficiency and is heat-welded for stronger seams, making it more popular for newer commercial installations.
