Racine Roof Pros provides professional commercial roofing in Racine, WI for residential and commercial properties across the Racine and Kenosha lakeshore. Racine carries a lot of aging low-slope roofs over conditioned space, the legacy of a long industrial run, and those assemblies share a specific local problem. Vapor drives upward from a warm humid building into insulation that the lakeshore never gives a decent chance to dry out.
That means the roof you are standing on may be sound while the roof you cannot see is soaked. We do not bid a commercial roof from a walk and a satellite image. We cut cores, we scan with infrared on a clear fall evening when there is a genuine temperature differential, and we map the wet areas before we put a number on anything. Once you know where the water actually is, the options get honest.
A partial tear-off of the wet sections with a recover over the dry ones is frequently the right answer, and it is rarely the one on the first bid you received. We will show you the map and the cores and let you compare them side by side. Building owners generally make good decisions when the information is in front of them, and poor ones when it is summarized into a single number by somebody selling.
For new assemblies we use 60 and 80 mil TPO, EPDM where a dark surface and chemical resistance make sense, and two-ply modified bitumen across high-traffic areas and equipment platforms. Tapered polyisocyanurate to real slope, a vapor retarder positioned for this climate rather than copied from a southern detail, and staggered joints throughout. Perimeter and corner fastening zones get their own spacing, which sounds obvious and is skipped constantly on price-driven bids.
Details are where commercial roofs actually leak: parapet caps, curbs under rooftop units, penetrations added later by other trades, and drains nobody lowered when the new insulation went on. We inventory every penetration on the drawings, and we come back after other trades have finished working up there. A membrane installed perfectly in June and cut for a new conduit in August is not a membrane failure, but it will leak exactly the same way.
We work around your tenants. Night and weekend phasing, protection over occupied space, a written schedule that names sections and dates, and a maintenance program afterward with two inspections a year in spring and fall. Industrial flex space, churches, apartment blocks and municipal buildings all get the same process and the same paperwork. Certificates of insurance and a written safety plan go out before anyone sets foot on the property.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — hand-sealed shingle tabs set in spots of asphalt roof cement, pin-type moisture readings logged on the deck bay by bay, 1x6 plank sheathing laid with open gaps between boards, core cuts taken through a low-slope assembly to check the insulation, an above-sheathing airspace on a batten and counter-batten grid, two-piece counterflashing set into a ground-out mortar reglet — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Racine and nearby communities including Mount Pleasant, Caledonia, Kenosha, Pleasant Prairie.

Materials, equipment and how we do commercial roofing
The difference between commercial roofing that lasts and commercial roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with hand-sealed shingle tabs set in spots of asphalt roof cement, pin-type moisture readings logged on the deck bay by bay, 1x6 plank sheathing laid with open gaps between boards, core cuts taken through a low-slope assembly to check the insulation, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Racine job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Racine and Kenosha lakeshore means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Racine Chooses Racine Roof Pros
- ✓We take a moisture reading on the north slope before we quote, because the March number is the one that tells you what the deck has actually been living with
- ✓Any tear-off we install before the middle of May gets its field tabs hand-sealed, because a lakefront spring does not deliver the surface temperature a factory sealant strip needs
- ✓Every coating and sealant proposal carries a written dew point limit and substrate moisture limit, and we reschedule rather than spray when the numbers are wrong
- ✓No recover over an existing low-slope roof without a core cut first, and we hand you the core rather than describing it
The standards behind commercial roofing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The commercial roofing work we do in Racine follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every commercial roofing project in Racine gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
