About
Founded in 1983 and still family-owned, Great Lakes Roofing Corporation has delivered commercial and industrial roofing solutions across the Midwest for over 40 years — earning a 4.8-star rating across more than 300 verified reviews. Based in Appleton, WI, GLRC operates from multiple regional branches to service all of Wisconsin, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Iowa, Minnesota, and northern Illinois, making them a dependable single-source partner for facility managers and property owners overseeing portfolios that span state lines. Their core commercial capabilities cover the full spectrum of low-slope and flat roof systems, including TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, built-up roofing (BUR), and metal roofing, along with coatings and specialized metal fabrication for gutters, downspouts, and edge metal. GLRC serves a wide range of commercial property types — from food processing facilities and machine shops to warehouses, multi-tenant retail centers, schools, houses of worship, and multifamily buildings. For facility managers dealing with active leaks or ponding water issues, GLRC offers 24/7 emergency repair response alongside scheduled repairs designed to extend roof lifespan. Their maintenance program includes both annual and quarterly roof inspections performed by dedicated technicians who identify problem areas and recommend targeted interventions — a structured approach that supports budget planning and reduces unplanned capital expenditure. Roof replacements come backed by a 25-year manufacturer's warranty and a 20-year labor warranty, providing long-term coverage assurance that matters for asset managers and building owners. Specialized services extend to skylights, light pipes, snow rails, and safety fall-protection systems — addressing the full scope of rooftop infrastructure common on industrial and institutional facilities. For property managers and facility teams across the upper Midwest seeking a contractor with proven multi-site capability, documented warranty backing, and proactive account management, Great Lakes Roofing Corporation offers a compelling combination of regional reach and long-standing operational depth.
