When you choose Madison Elite Commercial Flat Roofing, you’re getting more than just a roof—we offer a solution that improves energy efficiency and durability.
The Cool Roof Installation Process
We start with a detailed review of your building’s condition and your needs. Then, we choose the best materials to match your roof type and energy goals. Finally, we follow a careful installation plan to ensure your cool roof lasts.
1. Initial Consultation and Site Assessment
We begin by visiting your property to check your existing roofing system. During this inspection, we identify any damage, structural concerns, and areas that may affect the new cool roof’s performance. We measure roof size, slope, and drainage patterns to plan effective installation.
Our team also discusses your energy goals and budget. This helps us tailor a solution that meets your expectations. The assessment gives us a clear picture to avoid surprises during installation.
2. Product Selection and Custom Solutions
Choosing the right roofing materials is key to cooling your building. We offer a variety of reflective membranes and coatings designed to reduce heat absorption. Options include white TPO roofing membranes, which reflect sunlight and resist UV damage.
We customize solutions using those materials that fit your building’s shape and local climate. Insulation upgrades may also be included to improve energy efficiency further. We make sure the product matches your budget without sacrificing durability.
3. Professional Installation Steps
Our crews start by preparing your roof surface. This includes cleaning and repairing any weak spots. If needed, we perform a full tear-off to remove old roofing and install updated insulation.
Next, we apply the selected cool roofing materials carefully. This involves sealing seams and edges to prevent leaks and ensure long-term protection. We follow manufacturer guidelines closely during each step.
Finally, we conduct a thorough quality check with you to confirm the roof meets high standards. We also explain maintenance tips to keep your cool roof efficient over time.
Maintenance and Longevity of Cool Roofs
Keeping your cool roof in good shape helps it perform better and last longer. Regular care and knowing what to expect from the materials allow you to protect your investment and avoid costly repairs.
Recommended Maintenance Practices
We suggest inspecting your cool roof twice a year, ideally in the spring and fall. Look for dirt buildup, ponding water, punctures, and cracked or peeling coatings. Removing debris and keeping drains clear will prevent damage and water pooling. After inspection, rinsing the roof with water or using a mild cleaning solution helps maintain reflectivity. Avoid harsh chemicals or pressure washing that can damage the roof surface. If you see any damage or wear, contact us for timely repairs. Small cracks or worn coatings can be sealed to prevent leaks and reduce heat absorption.
Expected Lifespan of Installed Systems
The materials we use, such as TPO and PVC membranes, typically last 15 to 20 years with proper care. Coatings can extend this lifespan by adding a protective layer against UV rays and weather. Your cool roof’s energy savings and protection can continue as long as you maintain the surface and repair damage quickly. Neglect can reduce lifespan by causing early wear or leaks. We provide durable installation and recommend regular check-ups to ensure the roof functions well throughout its life. Proper maintenance helps you maximize every year of your roof's service.
Types of Cool Roofing Solutions Offered
We provide a range of cool roofing options designed to reduce heat, improve energy efficiency, and protect your building. Each solution focuses on durability and performance under different conditions.
Single-Ply Membranes
Single-ply membranes are thin sheets of synthetic material applied to your flat roof. We use materials like EPDM, TPO, and PVC. These membranes are highly reflective, which helps reduce rooftop temperatures.
EPDM is known for its durability and resistance to weather. TPO and PVC are popular for their strong resistance to chemicals and UV rays. These membranes are easy to install and require low maintenance, making them cost-effective over time.
They also offer flexibility, which means fewer chances of cracks or leaks. You can expect strong protection and energy savings with our single-ply cool roofing systems.
Reflective Coatings
Reflective coatings are liquid-applied layers that you can add on top of an existing roof. These coatings use special materials that reflect sunlight, reducing heat buildup.

We offer coatings that work well on asphalt, metal, and other flat roofs to extend the life of your roof. Coatings help lower cooling costs and protect the roof surface from UV damage and water leaks.
Applying reflective coatings is quick and keeps your building cooler in the summer. This option is typically less expensive upfront, and it can be combined with other roofing materials for better results.
Built-Up Cool Roofing Systems
Built-up roofing (BUR) consists of multiple layers of reinforcing fabrics and asphalt or modified bitumen. We use cool roof membranes and reflective surfaces on top to lower roof temperature.

These systems are strong, providing excellent protection from water, fire, and heavy foot traffic. They last longer than many single layers and are ideal for large commercial buildings.
The reflective outer layer helps cut down on heat absorption, improving energy savings. While installation takes longer, the durability and cool roof benefits make BUR a good choice if you need robust protection.
Ideal Applications for Cool Roofs
Cool roofs work best in places where controlling heat and energy use can save money and improve comfort. They reduce roof temperatures and lower cooling costs, especially for buildings with large, flat roofs exposed to a lot of sunlight.
Industrial Facilities
In industrial settings, roofs cover wide areas and often face harsh sun exposure. Installing cool roofs helps reduce heat build-up inside these buildings. This lowers the demand on cooling systems, which can cut electricity costs significantly.
Our cool roof installation uses durable materials that handle extreme weather and industrial conditions. This means your roof stays reliable while improving energy efficiency. For facilities with equipment sensitive to heat, cool roofs can protect both the structure and operations.
Retail Spaces
Retail buildings have large flat roofs that directly affect energy bills. Cool roofs cut down on heat absorbed, making indoor environments more comfortable for customers and staff. This can improve the shopping experience by keeping stores cooler during hot weather.
We make sure your cool roof installation meets local codes while providing long-lasting protection. You’ll benefit from reduced air conditioning costs and a roof that reflects harmful UV rays, extending its lifespan. This is a strong choice for busy retail centers aiming to lower overhead.
Office Buildings
Office buildings often struggle with high cooling costs, especially in warmer regions. Cool roofs help maintain steady indoor temperatures by reflecting sunlight. This saves energy and creates a more comfortable workspace.
Our approach fits your specific building needs, combining cool roof materials with expert installation. We focus on durability and energy savings so your office roof can perform well for years. This service suits both new constructions and roof replacements, helping you reduce energy expenses immediately.
