Flat and commercial roofing

Flat and low-slope roofs are common on additions, Florida rooms, condominium buildings and commercial properties. They rely on a continuous membrane and good drainage rather than overlapping pieces.

Residential flat-roof requests use the main form. Commercial properties, condominium associations and property managers follow a separate commercial intake so the right details are collected.

Common flat roof issues

  • Water that stays on the roof (ponding) long after rain
  • Blisters, splits or open seams in the membrane
  • Leaks around rooftop equipment, drains or parapet walls

What commercial requests usually need

  • Building type, approximate roof area and number of stories
  • Who authorizes work: an owner, association board or property manager
  • Access requirements and any tenant or business-hours constraints

Questions to ask a contractor

  • Membrane and coating options for your building
  • Maintenance plans for commercial roofs
  • Insurance and documentation requirements for associations
