Energy-Efficient Commercial Roofing
Sun Prairie's Local Commercial Roofing Contractor
Commercial roofs have different demands depending on the building, the roof design, and how the property is used. Our South Central Wisconsin team works with flat, low-slope, metal, and specialty systems, handling everything from leaks and ongoing maintenance to roof coatings and full replacements. We look at the condition of the existing roof and the needs of the property before recommending the right approach.

TPO Roofing
TPO is a reflective single-ply membrane commonly used on flat and low-slope commercial roofs. Its energy-efficient surface and heat-welded seams provide a practical roofing option for many Wisconsin businesses.
EPDM Roofing
Also known as rubber roofing, EPDM is a durable membrane system suited to flat and low-slope roofs. It provides reliable water protection and flexibility through changing temperatures and Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles.
PVC Roofing
PVC is a single-ply membrane used on flat and low-slope commercial roofs. It offers strong weather and chemical resistance and can be a good fit for buildings with specific performance requirements, including facilities with rooftop equipment or commercial kitchens.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing provides durability, low maintenance, and a long service life. Properly selected metal systems can stand up to Wisconsin’s snow, wind, hail, and other severe weather while providing energy-efficient performance.
Roof Coatings
Roof coatings can be applied to new and existing roofing systems when the underlying roof is a good candidate. They can improve energy efficiency, provide an additional layer of weather protection, and extend the service life of an existing roof.
Repairs & Restoration
Keep your roof in good condition with regular maintenance, timely repairs, and experienced restoration work.
Extend the Life of Your Commercial Roof
Commercial Roof Coating Evaluations
If your existing commercial roof is aging but still structurally sound, a roof coating may be an option worth considering before a full replacement. We’ll inspect the system, identify areas that need attention, and explain whether a coating or another restoration approach makes sense for your building.
High Performance Roof Coatings
Our commercial roof coating systems can help protect existing roofing materials from UV exposure, weather, and moisture while improving energy efficiency. The right coating can also reduce the need for more extensive work when the existing roof remains a good candidate for restoration.
Energy Efficient Roofing Solutions
Energy-efficient commercial roofing can help reduce heat absorption and support lower building energy costs. TPO, PVC, metal roofing, and compatible roof coating systems can all provide different benefits depending on the building, existing roof, and project goals.
10–20 Year Roof Life Extension
A roof coating or restoration system can potentially extend the service life of an existing commercial roof when the underlying system is in suitable condition. We’ll evaluate your roof before recommending this approach and explain what kind of service life you can reasonably expect from the proposed work.

Roof Inspection & Maintenance
A commercial roof is a major investment, and regular inspections can help you get more service life from it. Our technicians look for leaks, damaged materials, drainage problems, compromised flashing, storm damage, and other small issues that can become expensive repairs if they're left alone. Preventative maintenance can also help identify problems before they interrupt business operations or lead to water damage inside the building.
Commercial Roofing FAQ
How often should I have my commercial roof inspected?
We recommend regular commercial roof inspections, with the exact schedule depending on the roofing system, building, age, and condition. Additional inspections are useful after significant hail, wind, snow, or other storm activity.
Regular inspections can help identify leaks, damaged materials, drainage issues, and other problems before they become larger repairs. They can also support warranty requirements and help property owners plan maintenance instead of facing an unexpected roof replacement.
What's the difference between TPO, EPDM, and PVC roofing?
TPO, EPDM, and PVC are all common options for flat and low-slope commercial roofing, but they have different characteristics.
TPO is a reflective membrane known for energy efficiency and heat-welded seams. EPDM, also called rubber roofing, provides flexibility and durable waterproofing. PVC offers strong chemical resistance and can be useful for buildings where resistance to certain chemicals or fire performance is important.
We’ll consider your building, existing roof, drainage, budget, and long-term goals when discussing commercial roofing options.
Can roof coatings really extend my roof's lifespan?
They can, when the existing roofing system is in suitable condition and the coating is properly installed. A roof coating can provide another layer of protection against UV exposure, weather, and moisture while improving energy efficiency.
Coatings are often considered for flat roofs, EPDM, metal roofing, and other systems where the underlying roof can be restored rather than completely replaced. We’ll inspect the existing roof before recommending a coating system.
How do you minimize disruption to my business during installation?
Commercial roofing projects need to account for your normal business operations, employees, customers, deliveries, and access around the building. Our team coordinates the project schedule, communicates what to expect, and takes steps to keep the work area organized and safe.
Depending on the property and scope of work, some projects can also be completed in phases or scheduled around your busiest business hours.
Will a new commercial roof lower my energy costs?
It can, depending on the roofing system, insulation, building, and existing energy use. Reflective materials such as TPO and certain metal roofing systems can reduce heat absorption, while appropriate insulation can improve the overall performance of the building envelope.
When you’re considering a new roof, we’ll help you compare the potential energy and maintenance benefits alongside the initial project cost.
What happens if my roof fails during the warranty period?
Our team will inspect the issue, determine what caused the problem, and explain the next steps. Applicable manufacturer warranties cover certain material defects, while installation warranties cover eligible workmanship issues based on their specific terms.
We’ll provide the applicable warranty information for your roofing system so you understand what coverage is available before the project begins.
How do I know if my roof needs repair or full replacement?
The best option depends on the age, condition, and extent of damage to the existing roof. Isolated leaks, damaged flashing, or localized storm damage may be repairable, while widespread deterioration, repeated leaks, extensive water damage, or an aging roofing system may point toward a full roof replacement.
We’ll inspect the roof and provide an honest recommendation based on its actual condition rather than automatically recommending replacement.
Do you handle emergency commercial roof repairs?
Yes. Commercial roof problems can happen after a storm or without much warning. We provide emergency roof repair for leaks, storm damage, and other urgent issues that could expose your building to additional water damage.
Our team can assess the problem, recommend immediate steps to protect the property, and determine what permanent repair or restoration work is needed.
What types of commercial roofing services do you provide?
We provide commercial roofing services in Sun Prairie, WI, including roof inspections, maintenance, repairs, storm damage assessments, roof coatings, restoration, replacement, and new roof installation.
Our team works with flat, low-slope, metal, EPDM, TPO, PVC, and other commercial roofing systems based on the building and project requirements.
Do you provide commercial gutter services?
Yes. Proper drainage is an important part of commercial roof performance. We provide gutter services that help direct water away from the building and protect the roof, exterior, foundation, and surrounding property.
If your commercial roofing project also involves drainage problems, we’ll look at the gutters and other water-management components as part of the overall roofing system.
Can you help with storm damage and insurance claims?
Yes. If your commercial building has been damaged by hail, wind, or another storm, we can inspect the roof and document the damage we find. We can explain the roofing repairs or replacement work that may be required and provide information you can use when working with your insurance company.
If you’re starting the insurance claims process, a professional inspection can help document the condition of the roof and identify work that needs to be addressed.
How do I get started on a commercial roofing project?
The first step is to schedule a free inspection or request a free estimate. We’ll evaluate the roof, discuss any problems you’ve noticed, and explain the available options.
Whether your building needs maintenance, repair, restoration, a roof coating, or a complete roof replacement, our team will walk you through the process and provide pricing based on the actual work required.
Do you provide residential roofing and exterior services too?
Yes. While our commercial roofing team works with businesses and commercial properties, South Central Wisconsin Roofing also provides residential roofing and exterior services.
