Flat Roofing Basics for Homes and Businesses

Flat and low-slope roofs are common on porches, additions, modern homes and commercial buildings. They need a different approach than a steep shingle roof, because ponding water is the enemy.

Common flat roofing systems

  • TPO and single-ply membranes: bright, reflective and durable.
  • Modified bitumen: tough, proven low-slope protection.
  • Coatings and restoration: seal a sound flat roof and extend its life.

We install and repair flat roofs that actually shed water and stay watertight through Georgia and Alabama weather.
