Eau Claire Roof Pros provides professional flat and low-slope roofing in Eau Claire, WI for residential and commercial properties across the Chippewa Valley. Low-slope roofs in Eau Claire are porches, additions, dormer shed roofs, garage extensions and the back half of a lot of older houses on the north side. They fail differently from steep slopes, and in this climate they usually fail from underneath.
A vented attic gets to dry. A low-slope assembly over a finished ceiling often does not, because there is no room for a real air space between the insulation and the deck. Moisture that leaks into it deposits on the cold underside of the sheathing or inside the insulation itself, and it has nowhere to go until the whole assembly warms up in March. Then it arrives through the kitchen ceiling in one afternoon.
That is why we would rather insulate a low-slope roof above the deck than below it. Rigid polyisocyanurate over the sheathing keeps the deck warm enough that vapor arriving from inside never reaches its frost point, which removes the mechanism instead of managing it. A two-layer install with staggered joints, mechanically fastened or adhered depending on the substrate. Warm deck, no frost point, nothing stored.
Membrane choice is ordinary and we treat it that way. Sixty mil TPO for reflectivity and heat welds, EPDM where the roof is shaded and complicated, two-ply SBS modified bitumen where there is foot traffic or a real risk of mechanical damage. Tapered packages where the deck ponds, with overflow provision at the perimeter. None of that is exotic, and none of it is where these roofs actually fail.
Recover work gets a core cut before we quote it, and you get the core in your hand. If the insulation is wet we are not putting a new membrane over it, because a sealed membrane over saturated polyiso is a compost pile with a warranty. The core cut costs an hour and can save a whole roof assembly.
The recommendation that surprises people is that on a small porch roof we will sometimes tell you to leave it alone and fix the ceiling below it instead. If the finished space under that low-slope is warm, humid and leaking air upward, replacing the membrane buys you a dry surface over a wet assembly, and you will be calling us again in eighteen months. We would rather have the awkward conversation now.
Our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — a gasketed and dammed attic access hatch, site-cut vent baffles carried from the top plate past the insulation line, bath and range fans ducted to insulated roof caps rather than into the soffit, airtight IC-rated can housings sealed to the drywall, two-part spray foam at top plates, plumbing stacks and wire chases, eave intake sized at or above the ridge exhaust it feeds — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Eau Claire and nearby communities including Altoona, Chippewa Falls, Lake Hallie, Menomonie.

Materials, equipment and how we do flat and low-slope roofing
The difference between flat and low-slope roofing that lasts and flat and low-slope 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 gasketed and dammed attic access hatch, site-cut vent baffles carried from the top plate past the insulation line, bath and range fans ducted to insulated roof caps rather than into the soffit, airtight IC-rated can housings sealed to the drywall, 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 Eau Claire 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 Chippewa Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Eau Claire Chooses Eau Claire Roof Pros
- ✓We inspect attics in cold weather on purpose, because frost is evidence that erases itself. A March stain read in June tells you almost nothing.
- ✓Any quote that follows a winter ceiling stain names the moisture source before it names a product, and if the source is inside your house we put that in writing.
- ✓We turn down replacements. A frost problem survives a new roof, so we would rather you spent the money on air sealing than on shingles that cannot help.
- ✓Exhaust venting is the last thing we add, not the first. Pulling more air out of an attic that leaks at the ceiling simply draws more house moisture up into the cold.
