Flat Roofing in South Florida
TPO, PVC, and modified bitumen installations engineered for flat slopes and optimal ponding-water drainage.
Service Overview
Flat roofs require specialized materials and slopes to ensure that heavy rain drains quickly. We specialize in TPO, PVC, and modified bitumen systems that prevent ponding water from creating leaks, focusing on Broward County residential additions and commercial buildings.
When is Flat Roofing Necessary?
We look for specific warning signs and diagnostic markers to determine if this service is the most logical path for your property:
- Cracked, bubbled, or dry-rotted flat roof membranes
- Standing water pools that remain days after rain has ended
- Leaking joints where the flat roof meets a pitched tile roof

Frequently Asked Questions about Flat Roofing
Why do flat roofs leak more than sloped roofs?
Flat roofs do not benefit from gravity drainage. If the roof slope has settled (creating "low spots"), water ponds. This standing water accelerates membrane decay.
Which is better: TPO or PVC?
TPO is highly reflective and cost-effective. PVC offers superior resistance to chemical exposure and grease, making it the preferred choice for restaurants.
