TPO, EPDM, Modified Bitumen, and Built-Up Roofing. Durable, leak-proof systems for commercial buildings, apartments, and modern homes.
Engineered for standing water
Reflective options available
Superior leak protection
Perfect for low-slope roofs
Flat and low-slope roofs require specialized materials and installation techniques. We offer four proven systems, each with unique advantages for different applications, budgets, and performance requirements.
Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is today's most popular commercial roofing membrane. Reflective white surface reduces cooling costs while heat-welded seams create a watertight bond.
White TPO membranes reflect up to 87% of sunlight, reducing roof surface temperature by 50-80°F compared to dark roofs.
Best for: Commercial buildings, schools, warehouses, retail.
Cost range: $6.50 - $10.00 per sq.ft. installed
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) is synthetic rubber roofing with over 50 years of proven performance. Durable, flexible, and ideal for cold climates.
EPDM has been used since the 1960s and has the longest track record of any single-ply membrane. Many EPDM roofs last 40-50 years with proper maintenance.
Best for: Cold climates, industrial buildings, ballasted roofs.
Cost range: $6.00 - $9.00 per sq.ft. installed
Commercial building with professional flat roof system
The modern evolution of built-up roofing. Modified bitumen combines asphalt with rubber or plastic polymers for enhanced flexibility and durability. Installed with torch or self-adhesive.
Torch-down: Propane torch melts underside for bonding.
Self-adhesive: Peel-and-stick for safer application.
Best for: Low-slope residential, commercial re-roofing.
Cost range: $5.50 - $8.50 per sq.ft. installed
The original flat roofing system. Multiple layers of asphalt and reinforcing fabrics create a heavy-duty, time-tested roof that can last decades.
BUR roofs are among the thickest and heaviest flat roofing systems (6-8 lbs/sq.ft.). The multiple layers provide exceptional protection.
Best for: High-traffic roofs, historic buildings, schools.
Cost range: $5.00 - $8.00 per sq.ft. installed

Flat roofs have a slight slope (1/4" per foot) toward drains, scuppers, or gutters.
Yes, but carefully. Use designated walkways if installed. Avoid sharp tools.
Twice annually (spring and fall) and after major storms.
