Commercial Roofing Services
Keeping commercial roofing systems in good shape can be quite a challenge for busy business owners. Many people see roof damage as more of an inconvenience than a danger. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth — and it doesn’t mean you should put off a roof repair, either.
If your building has been through a hail storm, endured high winds, or has experienced other minor or major damage, it’s essential to have roofing contractors come out for a roofing inspection so that we can assess what type of emergency roof repair might be needed. Something as simple as damaged shingles or slight hail damage can cause long-term roof issues, especially in commercial buildings, which have more stringent safety requirements to protect customers, staff, and visitors.

Roof Inspections
WHAT DOES A ROOF INSPECTOR LOOK FOR?
A roof inspector is a trained professional who assesses the condition of your roof to identify any potential issues or areas of concern. During a roof inspection, our skilled inspectors will thoroughly examine various aspects of your roof, including:
- Shingles: Inspectors will check for damaged, loose, or missing shingles that could compromise the integrity of your roof and lead to leaks.
- Flashing: Flashing is the material used to seal gaps and prevent water intrusion around chimneys, vents, and other roof penetrations. Inspectors will examine the condition of the flashing and ensure it is properly installed and intact.
- Gutters and Drainage: Proper water drainage is crucial for the health of your roof. Inspectors will check the condition of gutters, downspouts, and drainage systems to ensure they are functioning effectively and directing water away from your property.
- Roof Structure: Inspectors will assess the overall structure of your roof, including the decking, trusses, and support beams, to identify any signs of sagging, rot, or damage that could compromise the structural integrity.
- Ventilation: Adequate ventilation is essential for a healthy roof. Inspectors will evaluate the ventilation system to ensure proper airflow and ventilation, which can help prevent moisture buildup and extend the lifespan of your roof.
BENEFITS OF A ROOF INSPECTION
Regular roof inspections provide numerous benefits for homeowners. Here are some key advantages:
- Early Problem Detection: A professional roof inspection can identify potential issues before they escalate into major problems. Detecting and addressing roofing issues early can help prevent extensive damage and costly repairs in the future.
- Extended Roof Lifespan: Regular inspections and maintenance can significantly extend the lifespan of your roof. By addressing minor issues promptly, you can prolong the life of your roof and avoid premature replacement.
- Enhanced Safety: A structurally sound roof is essential for the safety of your home and its occupants. A roof inspection can identify any safety concerns, such as weakened or damaged areas, allowing for timely repairs.
- Insurance Compliance: Some insurance policies require regular roof inspections as part of the coverage. By conducting inspections as recommended, you ensure compliance with insurance requirements and maintain coverage for potential roof-related claims.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU HAVE YOUR ROOF INSPECTED?
The frequency of roof inspections may vary depending on several factors, including the age of your roof, environmental conditions, and any recent severe weather events. As a general guideline, it is recommended to have a professional roof inspection at least once a year. However, additional inspections may be necessary after significant storms or hail events or if you notice any signs of roof damage or leaks.
OTHER INSTANCES WHEN YOU MAY NEED ROOF INSPECTION SERVICES
While storm damage often prompts immediate inspections, there are other crucial times when a professional roofing inspector should assess your roof’s condition. Here are a few scenarios where it’s essential to call in roofing inspectors:
- Before Buying or Selling a Home: A thorough roof inspection is a vital part of any home inspection, ensuring that the roof’s integrity aligns with the property’s value.
- After Roof Repair or Installation: To confirm that a new roofing system or repairs are correctly installed and fully functional.
- Aging Roof: If your existing roof is nearing the end of its expected lifespan, it’s wise to evaluate its health and identify potential issues early.
- Major Renovations: Large remodeling projects can affect a roof’s structure, necessitating an inspection to ensure everything remains intact.
WHY RELY ON PROFESSIONAL ROOF INSPECTORS?
Professional roofing inspectors bring expertise, equipment, and an eye for detail to every inspection. We can uncover hidden issues that may escape an untrained eye, such as subtle leaks, compromised flashing, or deteriorating shingles. By trusting a certified roofing contractor like Precise Exteriors, you’ll receive accurate assessments and honest recommendations, whether it’s a minor fix or a comprehensive roof repair. Our specialized knowledge can help extend the life of your roofing system and avoid unnecessary expenses.

Metal Roof Replacement
TYPES OF METAL ROOFING
At Precise Exteriors, we provide a wide range of metal roofing options to suit your specific needs and preferences. Here are some of the popular types of metal roofing we offer:
- Standing Seam Metal Roofing: This type of roofing features vertical panels with raised seams that interlock to provide superior weather resistance and a sleek appearance. Standing seam roofs are known for their durability and are a popular choice for residential and commercial applications.
- Metal Shingle Roofing: Combining the elegance of traditional shingles with the durability of metal, metal shingle roofing offers a versatile and visually appealing option. Metal shingles are available in various styles and colors, allowing you to achieve the desired aesthetic for your home.
- Metal Tile Roofing: If you desire the look of classic clay or concrete tiles but want the benefits of metal roofing, metal tile roofing is the ideal solution. With its exceptional durability and longevity, metal tile roofing offers the perfect blend of style and functionality.
BENEFITS OF METAL ROOFING
Metal roofing provides a multitude of benefits that make it an excellent choice for homeowners in the Twin Cities and Northwestern WI. Here are some key advantages:
- Longevity – Metal roofs have a longer lifespan compared to asphalt shingles, which typically last 20-30 years. Metal roofs are known for their exceptional lifespan, often lasting 50 years or more. They are highly resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage, ensuring your investment will stand the test of time. This means metal roofs offer better long-term value and can save you money on future replacements.
- Durability – Metal roofs are much more durable than asphalt shingles. They are resistant to cracking, warping, and fading, ensuring they maintain their appearance and functionality over time. Metal roofs can withstand extreme weather conditions, including heavy snow, hail, high winds, and even wildfires. They offer excellent impact resistance and are less likely to sustain damage compared to other roofing materials.
- Energy Efficiency – Metal roofs outperform asphalt shingles in terms of energy efficiency. Metal roofs are highly reflective, which means they can reflect a significant amount of solar heat, reducing cooling costs during hot summers. The reflective properties of metal help to minimize heat absorption, keeping your home cooler and reducing the strain on your cooling system. Additionally, metal roofing systems can be installed with insulation materials to further enhance energy efficiency.
- Low Maintenance – Unlike traditional roofing materials that require regular maintenance and repairs, metal roofs are relatively low maintenance. They do not crack, split, or curl, and they are resistant to mold and mildew growth.
- Environmental Impact – Metal roofing is an environmentally friendly option. They are often made from recycled materials and can be recycled again at the end of their lifespan. In contrast, asphalt shingles contribute to landfill waste.
- Fire Resistance – A house fire is a homeowner’s worst nightmare. One great benefit to having a metal roof is its Class A fire check rating when installed on top of the proper materials.
- Weather Resistance – Due to its slick surface and interlocking method, rain and snow will roll right off a metal roof. Especially during those winter months, it’s great to know that snow isn’t weighing down on your roof’s structure.
- Lightweight – Another pro to metal roofing is that it is extremely lightweight. The structure of a roof can often require extra support with other materials, but more often than not, metal can be applied to what already exists with no trouble.
SELECTING THE RIGHT TYPE OF METAL ROOFING SYSTEM FOR YOUR NEEDS
Choosing the ideal metal roofing system is crucial to balancing aesthetics, functionality, and cost. At Precise Exteriors, we guide you through the selection process to find the perfect fit for your property. Our metal roofing installers evaluate your roof’s structure, architectural style, and exposure to the elements to recommend the most suitable option, whether it’s a standing seam metal roof or another system. Our experience with asphalt shingles and other roofing materials allows us to offer comprehensive advice on the benefits and challenges of different systems. With our quality roofing services, we’ll ensure your new metal roof meets your aesthetic preferences and protects your property for years to come.

Flat Roof Replacement
SELECTING THE BEST FLAT ROOF SYSTEM FOR YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS
Selecting the right flat roof system is a crucial decision that requires careful consideration of the building’s unique requirements. Flat roof systems are particularly common for commercial buildings due to their cost-efficiency and the potential for additional functional space. However, not all roofing systems are created equal. At Precise Exteriors, we work closely with you to assess your specific needs, whether you’re looking for a new flat roof installation or upgrading an existing one. We’ll guide you through different types of roofing materials, considering factors such as energy efficiency, durability, and maintenance needs. With our expertise, we’ll help you choose a durable flat roof that provides optimal protection for years to come.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF FLAT ROOF MATERIALS
Flat roofs can be constructed using various materials, each with its unique characteristics and benefits. Here are some common types of flat roof materials:
- Built-Up Roofing (BUR): BUR systems consist of multiple layers of asphalt or bitumen, alternating with layers of reinforcing fabric, such as fiberglass or felt. The layers are fused together with heat or adhesive, creating a durable and long-lasting roof.
- Single-Ply Membrane: Single-ply membranes are synthetic materials that come in large rolls and are installed in a single layer. Common types include Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO), Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM), and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). These membranes offer excellent waterproofing and flexibility.
- Modified Bitumen: Modified bitumen roofs are made from asphalt-based materials reinforced with modifiers such as rubber or plastic. They provide enhanced durability and flexibility, making them ideal for flat roofs.
- Metal Roofing: Metal roofs, such as standing seam or corrugated panels, can be used on flat roofs. Metal offers exceptional durability, resistance to fire, and low maintenance requirements. Proper insulation and design considerations are essential to prevent condensation and ensure energy efficiency.
SPECIAL NEEDS OF FLAT ROOFS
Flat roofs have specific requirements that set them apart from sloped roofs. Understanding these special needs is crucial for proper maintenance and longevity. Here are some key considerations for flat roofs:
- Drainage: Unlike sloped roofs, flat roofs do not naturally shed water. Proper drainage is essential to prevent water pooling and potential leaks. Flat roofs should be designed and built with adequate slopes and efficient drainage systems to ensure water flows away from the roof’s surface.
- Waterproofing: Since flat roofs do not have the benefit of gravity to shed water, a robust waterproofing system is vital. This typically involves specialized membranes and sealants to create a watertight barrier, protecting the underlying structure from moisture damage.
- Insulation: Flat roofs require proper insulation to enhance energy efficiency and minimize heat loss. Insulation materials and installation techniques must be carefully chosen to meet local building codes and provide optimal thermal performance.
FLAT ROOF REPAIR SERVICES
At Precise Exteriors, we specialize in flat roof repair. Our experienced team is equipped with the knowledge, skills, and tools to handle a wide range of flat roof issues, including:

Skylight Replacement
THE BENEFITS OF A SKYLIGHT
Skylights offer numerous advantages that can enhance your living space in various ways:
- Natural Light: One of the primary benefits of skylights is their ability to flood your home with natural light. This not only creates a warm and inviting atmosphere but also reduces the need for artificial lighting during the daytime, leading to potential energy savings.
- Ventilation and Fresh Air: Some skylights are designed to be opened, allowing for natural ventilation and the circulation of fresh air. This can be particularly beneficial in areas such as bathrooms or kitchens, where proper airflow is crucial.
- Visual Appeal: Skylights add a touch of elegance and beauty to any space. They can serve as stunning architectural features, allowing you to enjoy breathtaking views of the sky, stars, and surrounding landscapes.
- Health and Well-being: Natural light has been proven to have positive effects on mental health, mood, and overall well-being. Skylights can help create a more uplifting and rejuvenating environment within your home.
CAN A SKYLIGHT BE INSTALLED ON ANY TYPE OF ROOF?
Skylights can be installed on various roof types, including pitched roofs, flat roofs, and even sloped roofs. However, the installation process may vary depending on the roof’s structure and materials. It is essential to consult with professionals to determine the feasibility and appropriate installation method for your specific roof type.
CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE SKYLIGHT INSTALLATION
Before proceeding with skylight installation, there are several important factors to consider:
- Roof Condition: The overall condition of your roof should be assessed before installing a skylight. Any existing issues, such as leaks or structural problems, should be addressed and repaired to ensure a watertight and secure installation.
- Location and Placement: Careful consideration should be given to the placement of the skylight to optimize natural light and minimize potential heat gain or loss. Factors such as the roof’s orientation, nearby obstructions, and the room’s purpose should be taken into account.
- Energy Efficiency: Skylights come in various designs and glazing options, including low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings and insulated glass, which can improve energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer and minimizing UV radiation.
SKYLIGHT INSTALLATION PROCESS
At Precise Exteriors, our skylight installation process is meticulously designed to ensure functionality and aesthetics are perfectly balanced. Here’s our formula for a seamless installation:
- Initial Consultation: We start by assessing your needs and examining the roof where the skylight will be installed to determine the best location and type of skylight.
- Choosing the Right Skylight: Based on the structure of your roof and your personal preferences, we help you select the ideal model.
- Preparation of Roof Opening: Our team carefully cuts and prepares the roof opening, ensuring it matches the dimensions of the skylight’s frame.
- Installation: We install sill flashing and step flashing to protect against water infiltration. The skylight frame is then securely fastened and sealed into place.
- Finishing Touches: Saddle flashing or curb-mounted skylights are added if required, followed by a thorough clean-up of the installation site.
WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING YOUR SKYLIGHT
Selecting the right skylight for your home involves more than just aesthetics. Here are a few factors to consider:
- Fixed vs. Ventilated: Decide whether you need a fixed skylight or one that opens for additional ventilation.
- Energy Efficiency: Look for skylights from reputable skylight manufacturers that offer energy-efficient features to help manage heat gain and loss.
- Installation Type: Depending on the roof structure, choose between deck-mounted or curb-mounted skylights for optimal performance and durability.
With these considerations in mind, you can choose a skylight that enhances the natural light in your home while maintaining energy efficiency.
MODERN SKYLIGHT OPTIONS
The world of skylights has evolved, offering a variety of modern options that cater to diverse preferences and requirements:
- Tubular Skylights: Perfect for smaller spaces, tubular skylights channel natural light through a reflective tube from the roof and are easy to install.
- Smart Skylights: Equipped with sensors to automatically close in the event of rain and options to tint electronically, these are perfect for tech-savvy homeowners.
- Screens for Skylights: Adding screens to skylights is an excellent option for enhancing functionality and comfort. Screens help reduce glare and excessive heat from direct sunlight while allowing natural light to brighten the room. They also serve as a protective barrier, preventing insects and debris from entering when the skylight is opened for ventilation.
WHY TRUST PROFESSIONALS FOR SKYLIGHT INSTALLATION
Skylight installation is a complex task that requires specialized knowledge and expertise. Here’s why it’s crucial to rely on professionals:
- Experience and Skill: Professional installers have the necessary experience and skill to handle the intricacies of skylight installation. They are familiar with various roof types and can ensure proper integration, waterproofing, and flashing techniques.
- Safety Considerations: Working on rooftops can be dangerous, especially for individuals without proper training and safety equipment. Professionals prioritize safety and adhere to industry best practices to minimize the risk of accidents or injuries during installation.
- Warranty and Guarantees: Reputable skylight installers offer warranties and guarantees on their workmanship, providing you with peace of mind and assurance in the quality of the installation. They also take your existing roof warranty into account. The impact of skylight installation on your existing roof warranty can vary depending on the specific terms and conditions set by your roofing manufacturer.
While it is generally unlikely for skylight installation to void the entire roof warranty, it is crucial to review the warranty documentation and consult with the manufacturer or a professional roofing contractor to understand any potential implications. In some cases, the warranty may specify certain requirements or guidelines for skylight installation to ensure that it does not compromise the integrity of the roof system. This may include using specific flashing materials or following recommended installation methods. By adhering to these guidelines, you can maintain the validity of your roof warranty while enjoying the benefits of a skylight.
