Flat Roof

A flat roof is a covering on a building in which has a no to low slopped surface. In effort to prevent pounding from occurring, materials that cove the flat roofs should allow the water to run off generously from a very slight inclination. Since ancient history times, flat roof systems have covered many of buildings. Traditionally flat roofs would use a tar and gravel based surface to waterproof the building. The modern flat roofs however tend to use a continuous membrane covering which can better resist the pools or water.

Advantages of Flat Roofs

On commercial structures the guarantees are generally last roughly ten years. Residential properties have about a five-year warranty on flaws and labor. Asphalt roofs rarely come with warranties, although we normally guarantee workmanship for two years.

Types of Flat Roofs

We have installed a variety of flat roof systems that may be of use for you and your building. Our company can supply you with great looking flat roofs from the selection of asphalt built up roof, CSPE, EPDM, Modified Bitumen, PVC, TPO, Curon or IB roofs.

“Asphalt build up roof is the most common type of flat roof available. Multiple layers of reinforcing piles and asphalt make up the asphalt built up roofs.”

CSPE also known as the Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene. It is a synthetic rubber roof that is more commonly known as Hypalon. “

EPDM is Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer. “Polyacrylonitrile short fibers/ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer rubber (PAN/EPDM) composites are prepared for the first time by mechanical mixing and subsequent vulcanization at 150°C for 50min to substitute for composites reinforced with aramid short fibers, as thermal insulating materials” (Jin, 2008). “

Modified Bitumen is most frequently used by our company and a reliable roof to place on your roof. This type of system creates a watertight roof for projects that must be completed in stages. These granulated sheet systems are available in a variety of colors including white, oak, weatherwood, black, grey and many others. “

PVC is also known as Polyvinyl Chloride. This durable system is designed for a maximized roof lifecycle. This method has the strength to resist damage due to strong winds. “

TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is applied by our trained professionals with a heat welder. Because this system is heat welded, the superior seam strength protects against many extreme weather conditions. Our manufactures quality products will uphold any weather conditions that will come your way here in Florida.

Please accept our thanks for the outstanding job that you and your crew did on our house. From your initial estimate, which I noted was prepared considerably more carefully than others that we received, through final completion, we have been more than satisfied. You were the only contractor that we contacted who made a point of informing us about the availability of designer shingles and the different styles available. Without that information we could never have made the choice that we did, and we would never have been as satisfied as we are with our decision. The Cobra ridge vents also add tremendously to the overall appearance. They are far preferable to the aluminum vents that everyone else quoted without offering an alternative. Your crew was courteous and professional and paid exceptional attention to detail during the installation and all the way through cleanup. They went well beyond what was required. The end result exceeds not only requirements; it exceeds our expectations as well.

The repairs and all contacts with your company have been professional, and courtesy has been extended in all respects. Workmanship, care of the premises, and attention to quality was excellent. Please accept this letter as permission to use us as a referral source for future prospects. It is truly refreshing to get such great service and a quality product at the same time.
