Flat roofs are a popular choice for both residential and commercial properties, offering a modern aesthetic, efficient use of space, and versatility in design. Whether you're considering installing a new flat roof, maintaining an existing one, or needing repairs, our team provides expert solutions tailored to your needs.
Flat roofs provide several advantages. Their minimal slope makes them ideal for installing rooftop equipment such as HVAC systems or solar panels, maximizing the usable space on your property. Additionally, flat roofs are typically more accessible for maintenance and inspections, which can simplify upkeep. These roofs are also a cost-effective option due to the reduced materials needed compared to pitched roofs.
Constructing a flat roof requires careful planning and precision. Key factors include proper drainage systems to prevent water pooling and choosing materials that offer durability and weather resistance. Common materials used in flat roof construction include built-up roofing (BUR), modified bitumen, and single-ply membranes like TPO, PVC, or EPDM. Each material has unique benefits, ranging from excellent UV resistance to superior flexibility and durability under harsh conditions.
Our construction process ensures that your flat roof is designed with the optimal slope for drainage, which is typically a minimum of 1/4 inch per foot. This slope, though subtle, is crucial for directing water to drains or gutters, preventing the common issue of standing water, which can lead to leaks or structural damage over time
Regular maintenance is key to extending the lifespan of your flat roof. We offer comprehensive maintenance services that include routine inspections, cleaning, and minor repairs to address any wear and tear before they develop into more significant issues. Common maintenance tasks include checking for cracks or blisters, ensuring seals around roof penetrations are intact, and clearing debris from drainage areas.
When repairs are necessary, our team is equipped to handle everything from minor patches to more extensive work. Whether it's addressing leaks, repairing storm damage, or replacing sections of the roof, we ensure the job is done right, using materials and techniques that restore the roof's integrity and extend its service life

Signs of a deteriorating roof are often noticeable during a visual inspection. Key indicators of roof issues include:
Shingles that are loose or missing

Accumulation of granules or debris in gutters
Damaged or absent flashing
Dark patches or stains on the roof
Increased energy bills for heating and cooling
Water leaks appearing on upper-floor ceilings
If your asphalt shingle roof is over 20 years old, it may require replacement even if no visible problems are apparent
That’s why it’s important to do the research and even talk to a few different companies. But there are some things you can do to make sure you’re looking at the right companies. Below are some tips that help you hire a roofing contractor you can trust:
They have a local phone number and physical office location
Ask for proof that they’re licensed, bonded, and insured in your state.
Ask your friends and neighbors for recommendations
Look at reviews from the last 6 months
When scheduling a roof replacement, many homeowners wonder about the duration of the project. While most roofs can be replaced within a single day, the exact timeline can vary based on several factors. These include the roof’s size and complexity, accessibility, weather conditions, and the type of roofing material used. For instance, installing slate tiles individually takes more time compared to architectural asphalt shingles, which are applied in larger strips. Additional factors like the extent of roof decking replacement can also affect the duration. In more complex scenarios, a roof replacement might take from three to five days, or even up to three weeks for very large homes. However, for most standard-sized homes, the job is usually completed in one day.
