The biggest part of what we do, and the reason we still do it.
Most of our work is commercial reroofing and new commercial construction. Distribution centers, schools, fire stations, hospitals, food plants, financial offices, churches. We size the system to the building, not the other way around.
Section 01 · Systems
Five systems. The right one is the one that fits the deck.
01 · TPO · PVC · EPDM
Single-Ply Membrane
The workhorse for low-slope commercial. We mechanically attach, fully adhere, or ballast depending on building, deck, and exposure. Most of our distribution and food-plant work runs on a single-ply system.
02 · Mod-Bit
Modified Bitumen
Multi-ply asphalt-based system, torched or self-adhered. The right answer where the existing roof, geometry, or warranty package calls for it.
03 · BUR
Built-Up Roofing
Hot-applied, fully redundant, time-tested. We still build BUR where a building owner wants the longest-running system on the market.
04 · Steel · Aluminum
Standing Seam Metal
For pitched roofs and architectural exposures. We fabricate panels in-house and on-site for civic, religious, and historical work.
05 · Silicone · Acrylic
Coatings and Restoration
When the existing membrane has years left and the budget calls for it, we coat instead of tear off. Recover, re-warranty, and keep the building in service.
Systems we install
What actually goes on the deck.
01
Low-Slope Membrane
The default assembly on warehouses, plants, schools, and civic buildings. Insulation, cover board, and membrane sized to the deck and the load.

Single-Ply
TPO, PVC, and EPDM. Mechanically attached, fully adhered, or ballasted depending on the building and the exposure.
See this work →03
Modified Bitumen
Multi-ply asphalt-based roofing, torched or self-adhered. The right call where geometry, the existing roof, or the warranty package asks for it.

Standing Seam
Metal for pitched roofs and architectural exposures. Panels fabricated in our shop and on site for civic, religious, and historical work.

Section 02 · Process
A short, written, four-step process.
We have run the same process for 57 years because it works for the building owners we work for. The roof goes on. The paperwork is in order. We leave the site clean.
Site Walk
An estimator and a foreman come to the building. Roof access, drainage, decking, mechanical penetrations, history. Notes on a clipboard, not a sales pitch.
Written Proposal
On paper, line by line. System selected, fasteners, insulation R-value, flashings, warranty term, schedule, exclusions. Nothing buried in a footnote.
Crew on the Roof
Foreman runs the crew, works to a daily plan, meets the client at the start of the day. Photo log every shift. Daily yard-trip if material is short.
Walk-Through and Warranty
We walk the finished roof with the building owner. Manufacturer paperwork goes into the envelope. Maintenance plan goes into the same envelope. Then we leave.
A Note on Warranties
Fifteen to thirty year manufacturer’s workmanship warranties on low-slope new and reroof projects. One to two year personal weather-tightness warranties on most other new and reroof work. The paperwork is in the envelope, every time.
Hand the building to a shop that has roofed eleven Kwik Trips.
We work from a one-page scope walk, a measured site visit, and a written estimate. Phone is fastest: 608.783.2106, option 2.
