West Allis Roof Pros provides professional commercial roofing in West Allis, WI for residential and commercial properties across Milwaukee and eastern Waukesha counties. Commercial roofing in this city means small buildings strung along the old streetcar corridors. Storefronts on Greenfield and National Avenue, corner taverns, two and three flat apartment buildings, church halls, and the light industrial bays left behind by the Allis-Chalmers era that now house machine shops and warehousing.
Those buildings share a specific problem. They are old enough to have been re-roofed several times, and because permits were not required for most of that work, there is no paper trail at all. We have opened storefront decks and found rolled roofing, then a torch down cap, then a smooth surfaced modified layer on top, none of which appeared in any file the owner had.
That is why every bid we write starts with test cuts rather than a satellite measurement. Two or three cuts through the assembly, photographed with a scale, tell us the layer count, the deck type and whether the insulation is carrying water. From there the options get honest. Sometimes the answer is a partial tear-off of the wet bays with a recover across the sound ones, and that is rarely the first bid an owner has received.
Multi-unit buildings bring a threshold worth understanding before you call anyone. The state's dwelling contractor credential covers one and two family dwellings only, and at three units and above a building is permitted as commercial work under the commercial code, with plan review and inspection that a house on the very same block would never see. Two nearly identical brick buildings, two completely different processes and timelines.
For new assemblies we work in sixty and eighty mil TPO, in EPDM where a dark surface and resistance to grease and solvent matter, and in two ply modified bitumen on any deck carrying foot traffic or rooftop equipment. Insulation gets tapered to real slope rather than a nominal figure, board joints staggered throughout, and the perimeter and corner zones fastened at their own spacing rather than one pattern applied everywhere.
We work around tenants and around parking, which on these blocks is the constraint that actually bites. Staged deliveries, night or weekend phasing where the business needs it, protection over occupied space, and certificates of insurance issued to the entity on the deed before anyone goes up. Afterward, two inspections a year with a written condition report each time.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — a probe cut opened at the rake to count existing roofing layers, 1x8 board sheathing laid with gaps over rafters at 24 inches, a fire-rated soffit board on the setback side of an alley garage, rigid chutes carried up behind a four-foot knee wall, site roll-formed standing seam fed up from the alley apron, a framed saddle set behind a shed dormer to split the flow — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve West Allis and nearby communities including Milwaukee, Wauwatosa, Greenfield, Franklin.

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 a probe cut opened at the rake to count existing roofing layers, 1x8 board sheathing laid with gaps over rafters at 24 inches, a fire-rated soffit board on the setback side of an alley garage, rigid chutes carried up behind a four-foot knee wall, 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 West Allis 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 Milwaukee and eastern Waukesha counties means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why West Allis Chooses West Allis Roof Pros
- ✓We open a probe cut at the rake and photograph the layer count before quoting, because West Allis allows two layers and inspects none of them
- ✓We will not install a third layer on any house, and we will tell you plainly that nobody from the city would ever have caught it
- ✓Every estimate names where the container sits and which slopes get worked from a rope, because a lot without a driveway changes the job
- ✓Ventilation chutes go in behind the knee walls while the roof is open, since the finished half story blocks the path the city bulletin assumes
The standards behind commercial roofing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The commercial roofing work we do in West Allis 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 West Allis 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.
