Top-TierFlat Roofs

The best flat roof material depends on your current roof surface, climate, and budget. EPDM and TPO are great for energy efficiency and flexibility, while built-up roofs (BUR) and modified bitumen excel in durability and waterproofing. Each roofing material has pros and cons, so we help you match the system to your needs.

With proper roof maintenance, a well-installed flat roof can last 20 to 30 years or longer. EPDM roofing and PVC membranes typically offer extended lifespans thanks to their UV resistance and flexibility. Lifespan also depends on factors like weather, roof drain efficiency, and foot traffic.

Flat roofs aren’t actually completely flat, but without proper slope or drainage, they can develop leaks. That’s why using a high-quality membrane and ensuring proper roof construction is key. Regular inspections and a good drainage system will prevent water buildup and prolong roof life.

Yes! Flat roof systems are excellent for solar roofing because they allow optimal panel positioning and easy access for maintenance. They can also support energy-efficient roofing systems like cool roofs or even green roofing with added structural reinforcement.

A built-up roof consists of alternating layers of bitumen and reinforcing fabrics, finished with gravel or coating. BURs are known for their excellent waterproofing and are especially effective in commercial settings. They’re heavier than other systems and may require added roof structure support.

Maintenance involves regular roof inspection, clearing debris, and checking for damage to the membrane roof or flashing. Ensuring your roof drain is unclogged is critical to preventing pooling and leaks. Annual maintenance keeps your roofing system performing at its best.

Yes, EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a type of synthetic rubber commonly used in flat roof materials. It’s favored for its flexibility, UV resistance, and ability to handle foot traffic without puncturing easily. EPDM is often used in both residential and commercial flat roofing projects.

Absolutely—residential flat roofing is becoming increasingly popular in modern and minimalist architecture. It offers a sleek look and maximizes usable roof space for rooftop patios, solar panels, or even small gardens. Flat roofs are also easier and safer to access for routine maintenance.

Roof costs vary depending on roofing material, labor, and the complexity of the roof project. In general, flat roofs tend to cost less than traditional sloped roofs, but high-end options like PVC or green systems may be pricier upfront. We offer transparent pricing and custom quotes based on your specific needs.

While flat roofs may appear level, they’re built with a slight pitch to direct water toward integrated roof drains or scuppers. A well-designed drainage system is essential to avoid water pooling, leaks, and long-term damage. Our team ensures every roof installation includes proper water management features.
