Commercial & Flat Roofing in Wisconsin Rapids, WI
Wisconsin Rapids grew up around the paper industry on the Wisconsin River, and its building stock shows it: large industrial and warehouse roofs, older brick commercial buildings on both sides of the river downtown, and churches, schools and medical buildings across the city. Neighboring Nekoosa, Port Edwards and Biron share the same history. Many of these roofs are large, old, and already recovered at least once.

What goes wrong on Wisconsin Rapids roofs
The big question on many Wisconsin Rapids roofs is what is underneath. Industrial and commercial roofs here are often a newer membrane laid over an older built-up roof, sometimes more than once, which hides wet insulation and limits the options for the next re-roof. Large roofs with long distances between drains pond and then freeze, and old gravel-surfaced roofs leak at flashings and blisters. A moisture survey before any big decision usually pays for itself.
