We provide a full range of flat roofing services designed to meet your specific needs. From building new roofs to upgrading your current system, we focus on durability and quality materials.

New Flat Roof Construction

We specialize in constructing new flat roofs from the ground up. Our team carefully selects materials like TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen based on your building type and budget.


During installation, we ensure proper insulation and waterproofing. This helps protect your property against water damage and extreme weather. We follow all local building codes and safety standards.


Our goal is to deliver a long-lasting flat roof that fits your design and functional requirements. We handle everything from preparation to clean-up.

Flat Roof Replacement

If your flat roof shows signs of wear, we offer full replacement services. We start by inspecting the existing roof to diagnose leaks, weak spots, or structural damage.


We remove the old layers safely and dispose of debris. Then, we install a new roofing system with improved materials to increase durability and energy efficiency.


Replacing an old flat roof can prevent costly repairs later. We explain your options clearly and help you choose the best solution.

Flat Roof Upgrades

We provide upgrades to extend the life of your flat roof. This includes adding reflective coatings to reduce heat absorption or reinforcing areas prone to ponding water.


We can also improve insulation and install new drainage systems to avoid water build-up. Our enhancements focus on increasing your roof’s performance and reducing maintenance needs.


These upgrades help save energy and protect your property while avoiding a full roof replacement. We work with you to customize the improvements based on your flat roof’s condition.

Types of Flat Roofing Materials We Use

Flat roofing requires materials that can handle water, heat, and wear. Different options offer varying levels of durability and maintenance. We focus on materials that provide good protection and value for flat roofs.

Single-Ply Membranes

Single-ply membranes are sheets of synthetic material rolled out on the roof. TPO and PVC are types of plastic that reflect sunlight, keeping roofs cooler. EPDM is made from rubber and is known for its flexibility and resistance to weather.


These membranes are lightweight and easy to install. They are also resistant to tears and punctures. We often choose single-ply membranes because they can be welded or glued together to create a strong, waterproof seal.

Built-Up Roofing (BUR)

Built-Up Roofing is made by layering bitumen (tar or asphalt) with reinforcing fabrics. Multiple layers are applied for strength and waterproofing. The top layer is usually covered with gravel or a special coating.


BUR is durable and handles heavy weather well. It is heavier than single-ply membranes and takes longer to install. We recommend BUR when a long-lasting, tough roof is needed, especially for buildings without strict weight limits.

Modified Bitumen Roof Systems

Modified bitumen combines asphalt with materials like rubber or plastic to improve flexibility and durability. It comes in rolls and is often installed with heat or adhesive.


This system resists strong sunlight and extreme temperatures better than traditional asphalt roofing. Modified bitumen is easy to repair and maintain. We use this material for roofs that need extra protection from cracking or aging.

Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Flat Roofing Options


Reflective Roof Coatings


Reflective roof coatings are special paints applied to flat roofs to bounce sunlight away. This reduces the heat absorbed by the building, lowering cooling costs during hot months.


Our coatings have a high Solar Reflectance Index (SRI), which means they reflect more UV rays than traditional roofing materials. They also protect the roof surface from weather damage and extend its lifespan.


These coatings are easy to apply and maintain. They work well with many flat roof types, including single-ply and built-up roofing. Using reflective coatings can cut cooling energy use by up to 20% in some cases.


Green Roof Systems



Green roofs include a layer of plants installed over a waterproof roof membrane. They provide natural insulation by absorbing heat and regulating temperature inside the building.


Our green roof systems include plants suited for local climate, with layers for drainage, soil, and roots. These roofs reduce stormwater runoff and improve air quality.


They do require more structural support and maintenance than other options but offer benefits like noise reduction and longer roof life. We help clients choose the right plants and design for their needs.
