Why Choose a Flat Roof for Your Property?
Many people don’t consider flat roofs for their properties, but they can be the unsung heroes of roofing systems. Here are some of the reasons you might consider a flat roof:
- Durability. Although flat roofs have an overall shorter lifespan, they are very durable against wind and storms when at their prime.
- Versatility. Use the flat space creatively—like for outdoor living areas or air conditioning installation.
- Accessibility. Flat roofs are easier to access and move around on, making them safer to inspect.
- Appearance. A flat roof can have a unique mid-century modern aesthetic.
- Energy efficiency. A flat roof can lower energy costs because they don’t absorb as much heat.
Our Flat Roof Repair Services
PD Home Exteriors also offers flat roof repair services. First, we’ll inspect your flat roof and assess the damage. Then, we’ll prepare the area by cleaning the surface and removing debris.
The repair comes next and could involve:
- Installing additional drainage points
- Modifying the slope slightly to reduce pooling water
- Patching small holes and cracks with sealant or membrane
- Reinforcing an area with new materials
- Replacing extensively damaged sections with a new protective layer
- Reapplying coatings and sealants
Which repairs you need will depend on the severity of the damage. Contact us for a roof free repair estimate.
Frequently Asked Questions About Flat Roofing
Here are some FAQs we get most often about our flat roof services. Please reach out if you have additional questions!
There are several good options for flat roofs in Michigan:
- TPO, which is a blend of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber, can be a solid, durable choice. This is your best option if you want a white- or light-colored roof.
- EPDM, or rollout rubber, is another option. This is your best option if you want a black- or dark-colored roof.
Our product experts will review the benefits of each and recommend the best fit for your application and budget.
Some signs of damage to look out for include:
- Leaks
- Pooling water on the roof
- Visibly damaged membrane or flashing
- A blistering and cracking top layer
- High energy bills
- Mold or mildew smells in your home or business
Get your roof inspected frequently.
- Keep the surface and drain systems cleared of any debris, like branches, leaves, and dirt.
- Trim trees that hang over your roof.
- Apply a protective coating every five years if you have a torch-down modified roof. TPO and EPDM do not require a protective coating
