Membrane and built-up roof systems for flat porches, additions, modern homes and small commercial buildings, with careful drainage details.
Flat and low-slope roofs are common on porches, additions, modern homes and small commercial buildings. They are not truly flat, and they depend on membranes, seams and drainage rather than shingles. Owners in Nashville call us when a flat roof leaks, ponds water or has reached the end of its life.
We begin with a Free Estimate and inspect the roof surface, seams, flashings, drains and decking, checking for ponding and soft spots. We recommend a system such as TPO, PVC, EPDM or modified bitumen based on use, budget and detail complexity, then prepare the deck, add insulation if needed and install the membrane with heat-welded or adhered seams. Edges, penetrations and drains receive careful flashing. We also look at what is on the roof. Air conditioning units, vents, skylights and antennas all need curbs, flashing and a path for water, and they are common leak points. A good flat roof plan includes a drainage path, protection for foot traffic and a simple maintenance routine, such as clearing drains in spring and fall.
Water must leave a low-slope roof, so we look at slope, drains, scuppers and gutters before choosing a membrane.
TPO, PVC, EPDM and modified bitumen each have strengths, and we match the system to your roof.
Most flat roof leaks start at seams, edges and penetrations, so those get the most attention.
Wet insulation or soft decking is repaired so the new membrane has a sound base.
