Who uses it

Typical Flat Roofing projects

Commercial Flat Roofs

Flat roofing is ideal for commercial buildings with rooftop equipment and large surface areas. Membranes like TPO and EPDM provide durable, continuous coverage that resists water ponding and weather damage.

Residential Additions

Flat roofing membranes are suitable for residential additions such as porches and garages. Their continuous seams reduce leak risks and their light colors reflect heat, improving energy efficiency and lowering cooling costs.

Roof Repair

Flat roof repair addresses leaks and membrane damage. Patching sections can extend the roof’s life without a full replacement, especially when seams or penetrations are the cause. Timely repairs prevent water damage to underlying decking.

Roof Replacement

Replacing an aging flat roof involves removing worn membranes and installing new ones. Proper deck preparation and membrane selection impact the roof’s durability and performance. This process helps maintain building integrity and energy efficiency.

Insurance

Does insurance cover this work?

Simple process

How it works

Our flat roofing process includes inspection, preparation, membrane installation, and a final quality check to ensure long-lasting protection.

  1. Inspection and Assessment

    We inspect the existing roof deck and membrane condition to determine repair needs or replacement requirements before starting work. This helps identify hidden damage that could affect performance.

  2. Surface Preparation

    The roof deck is cleaned and repaired as needed to provide a smooth, stable base for membrane installation and to prevent future issues.

  3. Membrane Installation

    We install the selected flat roof membrane with welded or bonded seams, ensuring a continuous barrier against water infiltration and weather exposure.

FAQ

Flat Roofing questions

What is the typical service life of flat roofing membranes?
Flat roofing membranes such as TPO, EPDM, and PVC typically last about 20 to 30 years depending on membrane type and maintenance. Proper upkeep can extend their service life within this range.
Can flat roofs be repaired or do they always need replacement?
Flat roofs can often be repaired by patching damaged membrane sections or sealing seams. Replacement is necessary when the membrane or roof deck is extensively damaged or aged beyond repair.
Are flat roofs suitable for residential buildings?
Yes, flat roofs are common for residential additions like porches and garages. Membranes used reflect heat and provide continuous waterproofing, making them practical and energy-efficient choices for such structures. These membranes typically last about 20 to 30 years with proper upkeep and reflect sunlight to reduce cooling costs.
Do flat roofing projects require permits?
Most cities require permits and inspections for full flat roof replacements or re-roofs. Small repairs usually do not require permits. The contractor typically manages this process to meet local regulations.
How to do a temporary roof repair?
To do a temporary roof repair, first document the damage with photos from the ground and attic. Then, cover any openings with a tarp to prevent further water intrusion, securing it properly. Avoid walking on the roof if possible. Keep receipts for any materials used. Call a roofer for a professional inspection before contacting your insurer to ensure an accurate claim scope. Temporary repairs protect your home until a permanent fix can be scheduled.
Can I repair a flat roof myself?
Repairing a flat roof yourself can be challenging due to the specialized materials and techniques involved, such as flat-roof membranes with a service life of about 20 to 30 years. Improper repairs may lead to leaks and shortened roof life. It is important to consider roof size, pitch, material type, tear-off needs, decking condition, access, permits, and insurance coverage. For an accurate assessment and repair plan, it is recommended to have a professional roofer inspect the roof and provide a detailed quote.
