Flat & Low-Slope
Where the Pitch
Runs Out.
Shingles need slope to work. Below about a 2:12 pitch they will leak no matter how well they are laid, which is why flat and low-slope roofs get a membrane system instead. We handle low-slope work on commercial buildings, porch and patio roofs, and additions where the pitch runs out.
What we handle
Commercial Flat Roof Systems
quoted on siteSingle-ply membrane over a properly prepared deck, seams welded, edges terminated and flashed. Priced after a walk of the roof.
Low-Slope Porches & Additions
quoted on siteThe porch roof or added-on room where the pitch dies out — the most common leak we get called for on an otherwise good house.
Roof Drains & Ponding
quoted on siteStanding water is what kills a flat roof. We correct drainage, add crickets and tapered insulation where needed, and clear the drains.
Flashing & Curb Details
quoted on siteHVAC curbs, vents, parapet walls, and wall terminations. On a flat roof almost every leak starts at a detail, not in the field.
Coatings & Restoration
quoted on siteA sound flat roof with a tired surface can often be cleaned, repaired, and coated for far less than a tear-off. We will tell you if yours qualifies.

Get your flat roof walked and written up.
Commercial or residential, we walk the roof, photograph the details, and give you one written scope with one number on it.
