Advanced Flat Roofing Services

Flat Roof Installation

The phrase “flat roofing” refers to roofs that are not actually flat but have a very low slope. These roofs possess a very slight incline designed to promote effective water drainage. Unlike traditional steep-slope shingles, low slope roofs have a minimal pitch and come with a variety of unique benefits.

Benefits of a Flat Roof or Low Slope Roof

Offers Additional Space: A low slope roof construction enables individuals to walk on these surfaces, providing extra storage options that would not be feasible with a conventional steep roof. For businesses, this “additional level” can serve as a space for storing surplus inventory or equipment. For homeowners, this roof area could transform into a garden or a social space for gatherings.

Cost-Effective Roof Installation: Installing low slope roofing typically demands fewer materials and less labor, resulting in reduced labor expenses. Additionally, low slope roofing solutions exert less weight on the building structure compared to traditional shingles, meaning that there is less financial burden in terms of reinforcing the building to support the roof’s load.

To building owners and homeowners in Arizona, we provide a range of flat roofing services, including:

• Flat Roof Storm Damage Restoration: Restoring flat roofs after storm damage is vital in building maintenance. These roofs, while advantageous, can suffer damage such as water pooling, membrane punctures, and structural deterioration during storms.
• Flat Roofing Hail Damage Repair: Hail damage to flat roofs can compromise structural integrity. Assessment and repair require knowledge of roofing materials and their vulnerabilities.
• Commercial Flat Roof Replacement: The replacement of commercial flat roofs is a critical procedure within the domain of building maintenance and construction engineering.

Different Types of Flat Roofing

Metal Flat Roof Installation: Aluminum roofs represent a prevalent choice for commercial flat roofing applications. A key benefit of metal roofing is its remarkable durability, combined with its capacity to endure both thermal and weather-related damage. A prevalent myth is that metal roofs absorb heat more rapidly and exhibit lower energy efficiency compared to other roofing materials. Contrary to this belief, metal roofs actually excel in reflecting heat, often surpassing most alternative roofing options in terms of energy efficiency.

EPDM Flat Installation: EPDM, an acronym for ethylene propylene diene terpolymer, is a highly durable synthetic rubber roofing membrane that is extensively utilized in low-slope constructions across the United States and globally. This material is principally composed of ethylene and propylene sourced from oil and natural gas. EPDM membranes are available in a variety of widths, ranging from 7.5 feet to 50 feet, and come in two thickness options of 45 and 60 mils. Installation methods for EPDM may include full adherence, mechanical attachment, or ballast systems, with seams sealed using liquid adhesives or specially designed tape.

Built-Up Flat Roof Installation (Asphalt Roll Roofing): Built-up roofs, commonly referred to as BURs, consist of multiple layers of tar and gravel. These roofing systems are known for their extraordinary durability, energy efficiency, and visual appeal; however, they necessitate skilled installation. The substantial weight of the finished roof can impose considerable stress on the supporting structure. Rolled roofing, which is essentially a thinner version of asphalt shingles, is installed in elongated strips. Various types of roll roofing are employed as supplementary materials to other roofing systems, such as saturated felt—builders-grade felt infused with asphalt, primarily utilized as an underlayment. Rolled roofing is suitable for low-sloped roofs, specifically those with a pitch of 2 inches or less vertically per 12 feet horizontally. This roofing is often applied to structures where aesthetic considerations are minimal, like work sheds, garages, and ancillary buildings.

Rubber Modified Bitumen Flat Roof Installation: The term “modified bitumen” may not be familiar to those outside the roofing field, yet it is a popular option in commercial roofing for flat or nearly flat roofs. Bitumen, also recognized as asphalt, has been a staple in roofing for over a century. Developed in the 1960s, modified bitumen aimed to combine the desirable physical attributes of asphalt with the added flexibility and weather resistance characteristic of plastic or rubber. Historically, it was commonplace for expansive flat-roofed buildings to feature a heavy gravel layer as part of the built-up roof system. This gravel serves a dual purpose: it protects asphalt from UV radiation while providing additional weight. Modified bitumen membranes can expand and contract in unison with the roofing structure, and since they are directly adhered to the substrate, they do not require a gravel cover—though a UV-protective coating remains essential. This innovation reduces the structural burden compared to traditional gravelized systems and simplifies the process of leak detection.

TPO Flat Roof Installation: Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) single-ply roofing membranes are rapidly gaining traction as one of the most favored commercial roofing options, thanks to their numerous performance benefits and ease of installation. With an increasing demand for energy-efficient and heat-reflective roofing solutions, TPO membranes consistently deliver exceptional resistance to ultraviolet light, ozone, and chemical hazards.

When replacing a roof, consider the existing roofing material, building structure, and budget. Consult with a roofing contractor to determine the most suitable replacement option, such as shingle, tile, TPO, EPDM, polyurethan foam or modified bitumen, etc. Proper installation and adherence to building codes are crucial to ensure the longevity and performance of the new roof. The selection of appropriate roofing materials, such as polyurethane foam, TPO, rubber, modified bitumen, or metal, depends on factors such as durability, energy efficiency, and budget.
