Specialized solutions for flat and low-slope roofs. Modern membrane systems provide superior waterproofing for commercial buildings, modern homes, and additions.
Thermoplastic Polyolefin - the most popular commercial choice. Excellent UV resistance, energy efficiency, and weldable seams. 15-30 year warranties.
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer - durable synthetic rubber. Proven track record, cost-effective for large roofs. 20-30 year lifespan.
Reinforced asphalt membrane. Multi-layer system with excellent waterproofing. Torch-applied or self-adhered options.
Traditional "tar and gravel" system. Multiple layers of bitumen and reinforcing fabric. Time-tested performance.
Polyvinyl Chloride membrane. Superior chemical resistance - ideal for restaurants and buildings with rooftop equipment.
Extend existing roof life with reflective coatings. Silicone, acrylic, and polyurethane options available.
Flat roofs can accommodate HVAC systems, solar panels, rooftop patios, and green roof systems without aesthetic issues.
Less material and faster installation than sloped roofs. Easier and safer maintenance access.
White TPO and coated systems reflect up to 90% of solar heat, dramatically reducing cooling costs in hot climates.
Clean lines suit contemporary architecture. Hidden behind parapets, flat roofs give buildings a sleek appearance.
Complete flat roof systems for new construction. Proper drainage design and quality materials.
Remove failing roofs and install modern membrane systems. Improve insulation and drainage.
Fix leaks, punctures, seam failures, and flashing issues. Fast response to prevent water damage.
Extend roof life with reflective coatings. Seal minor issues and improve energy efficiency.
Regular inspections and preventive maintenance catch problems early and extend roof life.
Ponding water damages flat roofs. We improve drainage with tapered insulation and additional drains.
No, "flat" roofs have a slight slope (typically 1/4" per foot minimum) to drain water. Proper slope to drains or scuppers is critical. We design drainage into every flat roof system.
With proper installation and maintenance: TPO 20-30 years, EPDM 25-30 years, modified bitumen 20-25 years. Regular inspections and addressing issues promptly extends lifespan.
Ponding water (standing 48+ hours after rain) indicates drainage issues. Causes include clogged drains, inadequate slope, or structural settling. We can improve drainage with tapered insulation or additional drains.
Yes, flat roofs are ideal for solar. Panels can be angled optimally, and ballasted systems don't require roof penetrations. We coordinate with solar installers for proper installation.
Coatings work well on roofs in fair condition with no major damage. They can add 10-15 years of life at a fraction of replacement cost. We assess whether coating or replacement makes more sense.
Common causes: failed seams, punctures from foot traffic or debris, deteriorated flashing around penetrations, ponding water, and aged membrane. Regular inspections catch these issues early.
