Flat Roofing
Flat and low-slope roofing requires a different approach than standard sloped systems. We install and repair TPO and EPDM flat roofing systems built for Wisconsin's climate demands.
Flat and low-slope roofing systems present unique challenges in Wisconsin — particularly around drainage, thermal movement, and winter moisture management. Badger Ridge installs TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) and EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) flat roofing systems for residential additions, detached garages, low-slope sections, and light commercial properties. These are durable, professionally installed systems — not patch jobs. We evaluate your specific application, recommend the right system, and install it correctly from drainage planning through seam welding.
What to Expect
TPO systems with heat-welded seams for watertight performance
EPDM rubber roofing for lower-slope applications with proven durability
Proper drain placement and slope planning to eliminate standing water
Full deck preparation and insulation board installation where appropriate
Flashing details around all penetrations, curbs, and perimeter edges
Repair services for existing flat roofing systems with blisters, seam failures, or punctures
Inspection and maintenance programs to extend flat roof lifespan
How It Works
A clear, straightforward process from first contact to completed project.
System Assessment
We evaluate your roof's slope, drainage, deck condition, and requirements to recommend the appropriate flat roofing system.
Deck Preparation
Existing material is removed, the deck is inspected and repaired, and insulation board is installed as specified.
Membrane Installation
TPO or EPDM membrane is installed with proper heat-welded or bonded seams and all flashing details.
Final Inspection
All seams and details are inspected before project completion. We walk the roof with you before finishing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between TPO and EPDM?
TPO is a white or light-colored thermoplastic membrane installed with heat-welded seams — it reflects heat well and is a popular modern choice. EPDM is a black rubber membrane bonded or ballasted in place — it's been used successfully for decades and is well-suited for certain applications.
How long does a flat roof last?
A properly installed TPO or EPDM flat roof typically lasts 20–30 years, depending on installation quality, maintenance, and weather exposure. Regular inspections and minor maintenance can significantly extend lifespan.
Can you repair an existing flat roof?
Yes. Many flat roofing problems — including small punctures, seam failures, and flashing issues — can be repaired without a full replacement. We'll inspect your existing system and give you an honest assessment.
Does my flat roof need regular maintenance?
Yes. Flat roofs benefit from periodic inspections, drain clearing, and seam checks — particularly after severe weather. We offer maintenance services for existing flat roofing systems.
