Flat and low-slope roofing systems are widely used in commercial, industrial, and some residential applications due to their practicality and versatility. In addition to their functional design, flat and low-slope roofs offer several benefits: they are often more cost-effective to install and maintain, and provide usable space for equipment like HVAC units or solar panels. With proper installation and maintenance, these systems can deliver long-lasting, reliable performance.

First installed in the early 1960’s, PVC was the industry’s answer to the oil crisis, as it contained half of the fossil fuels normally used in system manufacturing. PVC membranes are incredibly versatile, chemical resistant, and highly recommended for roof-over projects. They are available in a variety of colors, thicknesses, widths, and reinforcements, making them an excellent option for almost any roofing project. PVC is also highly reflective/UV resistant, making the membrane an energy efficient option for warmer climates.

TPO membranes are made with a co-polymerized rubber that allows them greater flexibility in cold climates. This membrane is best recognized for having the benefits of EPDM and PVC systems, but at a more economical cost. TPO membranes are white and highly-reflective, making them an excellent choice for reducing energy costs. TPO’s recyclability also makes it an environmentally conscious system. Additionally, TPO roofs are durable and resist dirt, bacteria, and debris build-up, making them highly resistant to tears, punctures, and impact damage.

A built up roof (or BUR) system is a popular choice for buildings with low-slope or flat roofs. It's been used for more than 100 years in the U.S. and is known for providing excellent protection due to its multiple layers of ply sheets and asphalt.

EPDM roofing is a highly durable synthetic rubber membrane widely used on low-slope and flat roofs. Known for its excellent weather resistance, flexibility, and longevity, EPDM has been a trusted roofing solution for both commercial and residential buildings for decades. Thanks to its minimal maintenance requirements and ability to withstand extreme temperatures, EPDM is a popular and cost-effective choice for modern roofing needs.

Along with preserving and extending the life of your roof, coatings can provide a highly reflective surface that may help reduce energy costs by lowering the surface temperature of the roof. Additionally, coatings provide a seamless application that conforms to irregular roof surfaces, as well as seals cracks and splits in the roof surface. Coatings can be applied to address a variety of roofing concerns. When choosing a coating, it is important to consider the location and current condition of the roof, as well as ponding water, chemical exposure, high heat and UV radiation.

Metal roofing is a durable, long-lasting roofing option made from materials like steel, aluminum, copper, or zinc. Known for its strength and resistance to harsh weather conditions, metal roofing is commonly used in both residential and commercial buildings. It comes in a variety of styles, offering both modern and traditional aesthetic options. In addition to its longevity—often lasting 40 to 70 years—metal roofing is fire-resistant, energy-efficient, and recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly and low-maintenance roofing solution.

Steep slope roofing refers to roof systems with a slope greater than 3:12 (a rise of 3 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal distance). Common in residential construction, these roofs are designed to shed water efficiently and enhance a building’s visual appeal. Steep slopes not only improve drainage but also reduce the risk of leaks and water pooling, making them a practical and aesthetically versatile option.
