Flat Roofing FAQs

1 What types of flat roofing systems do you install?

We install several flat roofing systems, including:

  • EPDM (rubber roofing)
  • TPO
  • Modified bitumen (self- adhered)

The best system depends on your building type, budget, and long-term goals. We’ll help you choose the right option.

2 How long does a flat roof last?

Average lifespans by system:

  • EPDM: 20–30 years
  • TPO: 20–30 years
  • Modified bitumen: 15–20 years ***Requires regular maintenance

Proper installation, drainage, and maintenance are critical to longevity.

3 How much does a flat roof cost?

Flat roofing costs depend on:

  • Roof size and accessibility
  • Roofing system selected
  • Insulation and drainage needs
  • Tear-off vs. overlay

Most flat roofing projects range between $9–$15 per square foot. We provide free inspections and written estimates.

4 Can a flat roof be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?

Many flat roof issues can be repaired if caught early. However, replacement may be recommended if the roof has:

  • Widespread membrane failure
  • Extensive ponding water
  • Saturated insulation
  • Repeated leaks

We’ll give you an honest assessment of repair vs. replacement.

5 Do flat roofs always leak?

No. Flat roofs are designed with a slight slope for drainage. Leaks typically occur due to poor installation, aging materials, clogged drains, or lack of maintenance—not because the roof is flat.

6 How do you handle drainage on flat roofs?

We inspect and address drainage through:

  • Internal drains
  • Scuppers
  • Gutters
  • Tapered insulation

Proper drainage is essential to prevent ponding water and premature roof failure.

7 Can you just “go over” the old roof?

In most cases, it’s not a good idea to install a new roof over an existing one. If your roof is leaking, there is often hidden damage underneath, like rotted wood or multiple layers. Fixing those issues first helps ensure your new roof lasts and performs the way it should.

8 Will my business or home need to close during installation?

In most cases, no. Flat roofing work is minimally disruptive, and buildings typically remain occupied. We coordinate work to minimize noise and access issues.

9 What warranties come with a flat roof?

We offer:

  • Manufacturer warranties on roofing membranes
  • Workmanship warranties on installation

Warranty options vary by system and manufacturer and are reviewed before installation.

10 How do I maintain a flat roof?

We recommend:

  • Annual or semi-annual inspections
  • Keeping drains and scuppers clear
  • Addressing minor issues promptly

We offer maintenance plans to help extend the life of your flat roof.
