Flat & Low-Slope roofing

Torch-down modified bitumen is what we install most for low-pitch roofs — on homes with flat sections and on commercial buildings. Built for drainage, sealed against the standing water that low-slope roofs collect.

THE HONEST VERSION

What a flat & low-slope roof actually is

Flat and low-slope roofs fail differently than pitched roofs. Water doesn't run off — it pools, finds every seam, and tests every penetration. That's why the material and the install matter so much here.

Torch-down modified bitumen is our go-to for low-slope: a heat-welded membrane that creates a continuous, seamless waterproof layer. No seams to fail, no edges to lift, no gravel to hide problems under.

We install it on residential flat sections — over additions, garages, and modern low-pitch designs — and on commercial buildings, where it's the dependable, cost-effective answer for warehouses and low-slope roofs.

LifespanTypical lifespan: 15 to 20 years
COMPARE OPTIONS · FLAT & LOW-SLOPE

What we install most

Best value for low-slope
  • Heat-welded, seamless membrane
  • New insulation and tapered drainage as needed
  • New flashing, penetrations, and edge metal
  • 15–20 year lifespan
  • The dependable answer for homes and commercial buildings
High-End Grade

TPO / Two-Ply System

The premium flat roof

Longest flat-roof life
  • TPO or two-ply modified bitumen system
  • Reflective white surface for energy savings
  • Upgraded insulation and drainage package
  • 20–25 year lifespan
  • Best for commercial buildings and modern low-pitch homes
