Flat Roof

Prepare the surface
Old material is removed or the substrate is cleaned and repaired as the scope requires.

Walk-through
We review drainage and details with you and clean up the site.
What affects the estimate
We do not post price ranges because they would not be honest without seeing your roof. These are the things that move the number for this kind of work:
- Existing system and how many layers are on the roof
- Wetness in insulation, which a moisture check can reveal
- Slope, ponding and drain or scupper condition
- Number of penetrations, curbs and parapet details
- Whether a coating, overlay or full replacement is appropriate
Read before you compare quotes
- Repair vs. replacementHow to tell whether your roof needs a repair or a full replacement: the signs, the questions to ask, and a side-by-side comparison for tile, shingle and flat roofs.

Flat Roof: common questions
Can a flat roof be repaired instead of replaced?
Often yes for local failures. Widespread blistering, open seams or wet insulation point toward replacement.
Is a coating enough?
Only on a dry, sound roof. We check before recommending it.
