Flat roofing in Shiloh
- 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.
- Leak repairs: find and fix the real source of the water.
Homes and businesses
Porches, additions, modern homes and commercial buildings all have flat or low-slope sections. We install the right membrane for the job and detail every seam, edge and penetration so it holds up through Georgia and Alabama weather.
Signs your flat roof needs attention
- Standing water that is still there a couple of days after rain.
- Blisters, bubbles or splits in the membrane.
- Open seams or flashing pulling away at walls and edges.
- Stains on the ceiling under the flat section, often far from where the water gets in.
Repair, coat or replace?
A small leak at a seam or penetration is a repair. A roof that is sound but aging can often be coated to add years. Wet insulation, widespread blistering or a roof past its life means replacement. We check the whole surface on your Shiloh building before recommending any of the three.

Common questions
How long does a flat roof last?
It depends on the system and how well water drains. Single-ply membranes and modified bitumen commonly last a couple of decades when installed and maintained well, and coatings can extend that.
Why does my flat roof keep leaking in the same place?
Usually because the source has not been found. Water travels under the membrane before it shows up inside, so patching the spot above the stain often misses it.
Can you add drainage to a flat roof that ponds water?
Often, yes, with tapered insulation, added drains or scuppers, or by correcting low spots during a replacement.
Have tornadoes come through Shiloh?
Yes. NOAA records an EF1 tornado that touched down just southwest of Shiloh on Oct. 14, 2014, and an EF2 tornado that ended about two miles east-northeast of Shiloh on Nov. 16, 2011. A home in the 2014 path lost part of its roof.
