Our Flat Roofing Process
Our process begins with a thorough roof inspection — we check every flashing, slope, and potential weak point before recommending a single dollar of work. From there, we provide a detailed written estimate with no hidden fees and no pressure. Once you approve the scope, we schedule at your convenience, source materials from trusted suppliers, and complete the work with experienced crews who clean up completely when finished.
Materials & Products We Use
- Modified bitumen — SBS (cold-applied or torch-applied) or APP membrane, 2-ply minimum
- TPO 60-mil membrane for energy-conscious commercial applications
- EPDM 60-mil rubber membrane for cost-effective commercial flat roofing
- Built-up roofing (BUR) with fiberglass reinforced plies and hot asphalt
- Polyisocyanurate insulation board for R-value compliance
- Pre-formed drain sumps and internal roof drains with overflow scuppers
- Sheet metal coping and base flashing with proper counter-flashing
Timeline
Modified bitumen replacement on residential flat sections (500–2,000 sq ft) typically takes one to two days. Commercial flat roof projects are sized individually — most 5,000–15,000 sq ft jobs take three to seven days. Tear-off adds one to two days to any project.
