Flat Roofing in Tampa Bay and Orlando

TPO, modified bitumen and EPDM systems for low-slope residential and commercial roofs.

Flat and low-slope roofs need membrane systems such as TPO, modified bitumen or EPDM, with proper drainage, to stop water from ponding. Roof X installs, repairs and restores flat roofs for homes and businesses across Tampa Bay and Orlando.

Flat Roof Systems

  • TPO: a white single-ply membrane that reflects heat
  • Modified bitumen: multi-layer, durable asphalt-based membrane
  • EPDM: rubber membrane common on residential flat roofs

Drainage Is Everything

Flat roofs do not shed water by slope, so drains, scuppers, tapered insulation and seams carry the load. Ponding water shortens a flat roof’s life. We design and repair with drainage in mind.

Repair, Restore or Replace

Many flat roofs can be repaired or restored with a coating. Others need replacement. See roof restoration and commercial roofing.

Residential Flat Roofs

Porches, additions and modern homes often have flat sections. We repair and replace them with systems matched to the use.

Questions

Flat Roofing: Common Questions

Something else on your mind? Call (813) 590-1124 and talk to a real person.

How long does a flat roof last in Florida?

It depends on the membrane, drainage and maintenance. We explain what to expect at your estimate.

Can a flat roof be coated instead of replaced?

Often, if the substrate is sound. Wet insulation or deck damage means replacement.

What is the best flat roof material?

It depends on the building. TPO, modified bitumen and EPDM each have strengths.

Why does my flat roof leak?

Common causes are failed seams, ponding water, damaged flashing and clogged drains.
