Flat Roofing FAQs
How long does a flat roof last?
Flat roof lifespan varies by material: TPO and PVC typically last 20-30 years, EPDM lasts 25-30 years, and modified bitumen lasts 15-20 years. With proper installation and maintenance, many flat roofs exceed these expectations. Regular inspections and maintenance are key to maximizing lifespan.
What is the best flat roofing material?
The best material depends on your needs. TPO offers excellent energy efficiency and is ideal for hot climates. EPDM is extremely durable and cost-effective. PVC is chemical-resistant and great for restaurants or industrial buildings. Modified bitumen provides multi-layer protection. We'll help you choose based on your building and budget.
Are flat roofs prone to leaking?
When properly installed and maintained, flat roofs are no more prone to leaking than pitched roofs. The key is proper drainage design, quality installation, and regular maintenance. Our flat roofs include proper slope for drainage and high-quality seams that prevent water infiltration.
How much does a flat roof cost?
Flat roofing typically costs $4-12 per square foot installed, depending on the material. EPDM is most affordable ($4-8/sq ft), TPO is mid-range ($5-10/sq ft), and PVC is premium ($7-12/sq ft). Commercial projects may vary based on size and accessibility. Contact us for a free detailed estimate.
Can you install a flat roof on a house?
Yes! Flat roofs are increasingly popular for modern residential architecture. They're ideal for home additions, garages, and contemporary designs. We install residential flat roofs using the same high-quality materials and techniques we use for commercial buildings.
How do you maintain a flat roof?
Flat roof maintenance includes: bi-annual inspections (spring and fall), clearing debris from drains and gutters, checking for ponding water, inspecting seams and flashing, and addressing small repairs promptly. We offer maintenance plans to keep your flat roof in optimal condition.
