Every service below is specifically suited to flat and low-slope work.
When a flat roof reaches the end of its service life, we walk the roof, check the deck and insulation, and tell you whether a tear-off or a re-cover is the right call.
Tear-off is the answer when the substrate is wet or the assembly is failing. A re-cover can save time and disposal cost when the deck below is sound. Either way, the membrane, insulation, and detailing are spelled out in writing before anyone starts.
Most flat-roof leaks trace back to seams, flashing, penetrations, or drainage rather than the open field of the membrane.
We locate the actual entry point, repair it according to the manufacturer's instructions, and confirm the surrounding area is dry before we close it up. When a roof is leaking right now, we can tarp and stabilize it to stop the water, then return for a permanent repair once conditions allow.
An annual inspection is the cheapest thing you can do for a commercial roof.
We clear and check drains, inspect seams and flashings, look for ponding and blistering, and run an infrared moisture scan when we need to see what is happening under the membrane.
If you're unsure about the condition of your roof, or you've noticed a water leak or heard unusual sounds, don't wait for the problem to get worse. Schedule a professional roof inspection today to identify any issues and protect your building.
A commercial reroof is a major project, but it shouldn't bring your business to a standstill. We carefully plan each phase of the work around your operating hours, organize materials and equipment to maintain access and parking whenever possible, and implement safety measures to keep tenants, employees, and customers away from active work areas.
Request a free consultation to learn how we can tailor the process to your property. Here's a step-by-step look at how we deliver a high-quality commercial roofing project from start to finish.
We start on the roof, not in the office. The assessment covers the membrane, seams, flashings, and drainage, plus the insulation and deck below, including an infrared moisture scan when trapped water is a possibility.
You get a written estimate with the system, scope, timeline, and warranty options laid out line by line. If there is a repair-versus-replace decision to make, we show you the evidence behind the recommendation rather than asking you to take it on faith.
Our commercial roofers in Madison work in phases so that occupied areas remain usable and the roof is never left open overnight. Your project has one point of contact who confirms the schedule and flags anything that changes.
We walk the finished roof with you, confirm every detail matches the scope, and run a magnetic sweep of the grounds before we leave. Warranty paperwork, covering artistry plus manufacturer or NDL options where applicable, is handed over at closeout.
Storm Guard Roofing of Madison installs two commercial systems: flat and low-slope, most often built with EPDM rubber membrane.
EPDM is a synthetic-rubber single-ply membrane that stays flexible in cold weather, which matters in a climate that crosses the freeze point dozens of times a season. It resists UV and ozone and has a long, well-documented service record on low-slope commercial buildings.
Attachment methods, thickness options, and expected lifespan are covered on the EPDM rubber roofing page.
Our flat and low-slope work covers repairs, restoration, and coatings, and full replacement, along with the slope, drainage, and insulation decisions that accompany them. Commercial building codes set specific requirements for those items in low-slope assemblies, and Wisconsin winters raise the stakes on all three, so they are specified deliberately rather than matched to whatever was there before.
The flat roofing page has the full breakdown.
Other membranes exist in the commercial market, including TPO and PVC. Storm Guard of Madison specializes in flat roofing and EPDM rubber, so if a different system is genuinely the better fit for your building, we will tell you.
Commercial roofing refers to the roof systems used on business and non-residential buildings such as offices, warehouses, retail centers, and multi-tenant properties. These roofs are usually flat or low-slope and use membrane systems rather than the sloped asphalt shingles common on homes.
Residential roofs are typically steep-sloped and use shingles, while commercial roofs are usually flat or low-slope and use membrane systems installed in large sections. Commercial projects also involve drainage design, stricter codes and insulation requirements, and access and safety planning that homes rarely require.
Storm Guard of Madison specializes in flat and low-slope roofing, installed primarily with EPDM rubber membrane. Visit our flat roofing and EPDM rubber roofing pages for full details on each system, including options, lifespan, and installation.
A well-installed flat or EPDM commercial roof typically lasts about 20 to 30 years, and longer with regular inspections and maintenance. Lifespan depends on membrane thickness, attachment method, foot traffic, and how quickly small issues, such as open seams, are repaired.
Cost depends on the building size, the system, and whether the old roof is torn off or recovered. Published market figures for a full commercial flat-roof replacement in the Madison area range widely. Still, Storm Guard provides a written estimate after inspecting your roof to help you prepare and decide the next course of action.
Yes. Storm Guard of Madison provides emergency repair and tarping to stop active leaks on flat and low-slope commercial roofs, then assesses whether a targeted repair or a full replacement is the right long-term fix for your building.
Plan on a professional inspection at least once a year and after any major storm. The National Roofing Contractors Association recommends inspecting twice a year, in spring and fall. Regular inspections catch ponding water, open seams, and flashing damage before they become costly leaks.
Unless otherwise noted, each use of "Storm Guard," “us,” “we,” or “our” throughout Stormguardrc.com collectively refers to both the Storm Guard brand and the Storm Guard Franchise System, which is made up almost exclusively of independently owned and operated franchise locations.
