Whether you’re building new or upgrading an existing facility, our team will recommend and install the right roofing solution to support your building’s performance, efficiency, and compliance requirements. All installations are completed by manufacturer-trained crews using materials from top-tier brands engineered for high-stress environments.
Our Industrial Roofing Services
New Construction Roof Installation
We work alongside industrial builders and project managers to install performance-grade roofing systems during the construction phase. Our systems are engineered for long-term resilience, optimal drainage, and integration with ventilation, exhaust, and safety equipment. They’re designed to handle demanding work environments from the ground up, ensuring reliable performance from day one.
Re-Roofing on Existing Buildings
Whether you're dealing with worn materials, outdated designs, or code compliance issues, our re-roofing solutions restore your facility's structural protection and energy efficiency. We’ll assess your current system and recommend either a full tear-off or retrofit, minimizing disruption to your operations while maximizing long-term durability.
Roof Repairs & Maintenance
Preventive service is crucial in industrial settings. Our maintenance programs include regular inspections, targeted repairs, and performance checks tailored to the unique stresses of your facility. We help identify weak points early, reduce downtime, and keep your roof in safe, working condition throughout the year.
Ice & Snow Removal
Heavy snow loads and ice buildup can compromise your roof and halt your operations. We provide safe, efficient snow and ice removal to prevent damage, maintain access, and ensure structural integrity during Wisconsin’s harshest winter months.
Types of Industrial Roofs
Industrial facilities vary widely in function, and so do their roofs. Understanding the structure and usage of your roof helps determine the right materials, drainage, insulation, and overall system performance.
Flat or Low-Slope Roofs
The most common industrial roof type. Ideal for large, open floor plans like warehouses, manufacturing plants, or logistics hubs. These roofs often use single-ply systems like EPDM or TPO for flexibility and ease of maintenance.
Pitched Metal Roofs
Often found on older factories, storage facilities, or mixed-use industrial buildings. These roofs use standing seam metal or retrofitted systems and can include snow guards or ridge vents.
Ventilated Roof Systems
Essential for facilities with heat-producing equipment or chemical processing. Designed to include exhaust fans, smoke hatches, or HVAC integration. Needs specialized flashing and thermal barriers.
Green/White/Reflective Roofs
Increasingly used on modern industrial campuses aiming for LEED or energy efficiency. These roofs reduce heat absorption and improve stormwater management.
Built-Up & Modified Bitumen Roofs
Used for facilities that require multi-layer protection—like chemical plants or areas with frequent equipment access. These roofs handle temperature extremes and structural movement well.
What Is a High-Performance Industrial Roofing System?
It’s more than coverage—it’s customized protection built to perform under pressure.
Once the type of industrial roof is determined—flat, pitched, ventilated, or otherwise—the next critical step is selecting a system that can meet the specific demands of your facility. Unlike standard commercial options, high-performance industrial roofing systems are designed to function reliably in challenging environments where durability, resistance, and compliance are non-negotiable.
These systems are carefully engineered to:
- Resist chemical exposure, UV degradation, and thermal cycling
- Support rooftop equipment and routine foot traffic
- Meet strict OSHA, EPA, and industry-specific requirements
- Enhance energy performance and internal climate control
- Extend service life while reducing maintenance frequency
Whether you're managing a food-grade processing plant, a manufacturing center, or a logistics warehouse, your roof must do more than protect—it must perform. That performance begins with choosing the right materials, membranes, and structural enhancements tailored to your operational needs.
That’s where our specialized roofing systems come in.
