American Flat Roof Installation and Repair Information

Knowing when to replace your commercial or industrial roof can sometimes be a difficult question to answer.

Here are a series of questions Southeastern Wisconsin business owners can ask themselves:

• Do you notice leaks or hear dripping water?
• Are there noticeable water stains on your ceiling?
• Do you notice any damaged, missing, or twisted shingles?
• Do large puddles accumulate on your rooftop after a heavy rain?
• Have you noticed depressions or large dips in your building’s roof?
• Are the granules and mineral pieces missing or flaking off of your existing roofing system?
• Have you noticed a sudden increase in your monthly energy bills?

Yes, in a good way! A new roof typically offers better insulation, keeping your heating and cooling costs lower.

A modified bitumen roof is an asphalt-based roofing option, which is highly waterproof and extremely durable. It is available in single, double or multi-ply commercial roofing systems.

Ballast material is used to keep commercial roofing membrane in place, typically made of stone aggregate or paver blocks.

Creep is a deformation of a large roofing system. It is typically caused by continuous thermal stress (such as seasonal temperature variations) or loading which causes the whole roof system to shift.

Our goal is to provide the best commercial roofing installation and repair services at the most economical prices for your business. We’re committed to customer satisfaction and use only the highest quality materials. We’re fully licensed, accredited and our team of professional roofers will get the job done efficiently and correctly the first time.

Typically, most commercial flat roofs we install will last your company for decades with proper maintenance.

Depending on local laws, there are limits as to how many times you can layer a new roof over an existing roof. Typically the weight of installing a new roof over an existing roof proves to be too much. The condition of your existing roof also plays a role. If you notice sagging, or if your old roof is severely damaged, it is best to strip off the old roof entirely. This will eliminate any potential problems lurking in the old roof, such as mold growth and rotted materials.

TPO is short for Thermoplastic Olefin, a recyclable polymer blend which resists UV ray damage, leakage and everyday wear. TPO roofs are very cost-effective and easy to install. Learn more here!

This largely depends on the size of your building, what it’s used for, how much foot traffic your roof commonly sees, what sorts of equipment is on your roof (air conditioners, vents), and other variables. Roofed Right’s flat roof contractors will inspect your structure and determine which commercial or industrial roofing system is best suited to your needs.

A Green Roof consists of a layer of dirt and plant material placed over a strong, highly durable water proof membrane. Different types of vegetation, such as grasses, mosses, shrubbery, and even small trees are used to create a unique and aesthetically appealing commercial or industrial roof. Green roofing systems have been shown to reduce ambient temperatures inside buildings and act as an excellent insulation layer capable of reducing monthly energy expenses. Roofed Right installs high quality green roofing systems for flat roof structures across the nation.

Generally speaking, annual or bi-annual inspections are always a good idea. Allowing a professional commercial roofing contractor, like Roofed Right, to thoroughly inspect your roof ensures there won’t be any sudden (and expensive) surprises later down the line.
