Roofed Right offers three types of single-ply roofing materials:

We had a bad flat roof, on one of our commercial buildings in West Allis, and a new tenant moving into a space in January. We needed to insure the new tenant that there would not be any water issues until a complete new roof was installed once weather permitted. R&R was able to repair the problem, and expedited the installation of the entire new roof. We had numerous bids for this project and RR was very competitive, and even included work that was not in the original bid as it was omitted by them on the initial estimate.

Great customer service, and expertise on the project.

Big Thanks.
