Flat Roof Replacement

Flat Roof Installations, Leave Them to The Pros.

Flat Roofs are very common in Maryland and D.C.. Commercial buildings utilize them throughout the state to cover large indoor spaces, while row homes, like the ones you see in Baltimore, use them to maximize space, and store equipment. Low sloped roofs are also easier and cheaper to build than sloped roofs (AKA shingle roofs). They are, however, more susceptible to water intrusion due to their low grade and vulnerability to ponding.

Do to the difficulty of the installations, labor intensive work, and increased likelihood of repair, many roofing companies refuse to do residential flat roof installations, altogether. The common belief is that the reward is not worth the risk.

Our roofing team, however, has embraced flat roof work, and become widely known for being Maryland's flat roof specialist that is unafraid to tackle any commercial or residential job.

A Flat Roof Replacement You Can Trust

Roof "Tear Off"

Properly installing a new flat roof requires the removal of existing roof layers and underlayment. We refer to the process of removing the old roofing materials as a roof “tear off”. Prior to beginning the tear off, our crew surrounds the residence or commercial building with tarps. The tarps catch any falling debris from the roof and prevent unnecessary mess. Once the tarps are in place the crews begin removing the old rubberoid membrane.

The removal of the rubberoid membrane reveals the old weather barrier that covers the roof insulation. The weather barrier is also pulled up and lowered to the tarps. The crew then inspects the insulation and roof decking. If the insulation and wood covering are free of water damage and rot the installation will begin. However, if we uncover rot or water damage, we quickly remove and replace the affected insulation or section of roof decking.

New Flat Roof Installation

We begin the installation by covering the insulation and roof decking with a high-performance waterproof underlayment. This barrier prevents moisture from getting into the insulation and resting on the roof decking if water were to seep through the outer rubberoid torch down layer.

Next, we nail or screw down the underlayment and insulation to the roof decking. Afterward, we secure the perimeter of the roof from moisture by installing drip edge around the edges of the roof. This layer sits on top of the underlayment layer to complete the initial weatherproofing.

Similarly, we roll out the torch down outer layer to cover the underlayment and drip edge. Once torched down and sealed, this membrane protects the entire structure. Lastly, we set, caulk, and flash or seal all roofing fixtures such as drains, skylights, and chimneys. Your roof is now completely sealed from the elements.

Roof Debris Clean Up

Once the new roof is completely installed, the crew cleans up any debris that fell from the roof during the process. Magnetized wands will be used to find any metallic objects that weren’t caught within the tarps and remove them from the yard. All debris will be loaded into a dump truck and removed from the property.
