Flat roofs can be installed in many ways and require extensive knowledge to properly install them. This type of roof is a task you don't want to do on your own as they require expensive equipment for the product to be correctly welded and warranted by the manufacturer. The right equipment and the right personnel that is educated in operating these machines at the right speed, temperature, and air flow play a major role in a quality application. 

Flat roofs are notorious for leaking due to almost no slope and the roof substrate never truly being leveled. Nearly every flat roof will have small dips that will create ponding water due to the framing of the substrate. Although ponding water is acceptable if it can shed within 24 hours, it will cause problems when your seams begin to fail. 

Another issue with flat roofs is that they are more susceptible to blow-off during hurricanes due to improper fastening at the eaves, penetrations, and coping caps. It is more common for a flat roof to require a replacement due to bad installation than the roof just simply being old. 

When installed correctly, a single-ply membrane system can be extremely reliable. They have the highest performance, least maintenance, and longer life span than any other flat roof system in the market. 

When looking for who to hire for your commercial roofing needs, you need a contractor who can evaluate the current issues you are experiencing with your roof and can prescribe the right system for you. Maybe you have a low ceiling and need more insulation for a cooler interior. Maybe you own a restaurant with kitchen vents and need a more durable membrane like KEE PVC. Maybe you have trees in your surroundings and need your roof to withstand impacts. 

You need a contractor who can tailor a roofing system that will perform efficiently to your building's environment.
