A new flat roof, an addition, or a garage roof starts with the right system for the building, its drainage, and its exposure. We plan the slope and drainage first, then install so water leaves the roof instead of sitting on it.
Leaks, blistering, ponding water, split seams, and failed flashing are the usual causes. We find where the water is really getting in and fix that, so the repair holds. If a patch will do the job, we will say so.
When the membrane is worn through, soaked, or leaking in several places, patching stops making sense. We handle the full replacement, from tear off and deck repairs to the new roofing system, and explain why before we start.
Flat roofs are not all the same. The membrane on top decides how the roof handles sun, ice, and foot traffic. Here are the three most common ones, in plain terms.
A single sheet of synthetic rubber, usually black.
A single ply membrane, usually white and reflective.
Asphalt based rolls, reinforced and built up in layers.
Not sure which one fits? The right material depends on the building, its drainage, and how much sun and weather it gets. We look at the roof first, then explain your options. See our roof installation service.
Flat and low-slope roofs are common on ranches, split-levels, additions, and garages across Long Island. They work hard here: corrosive marine air wears on the membrane, torrential downpours test the drainage, and extreme winter weather stresses every seam and flashing. A flat roof built and cared for with that in mind keeps the water out.
Part of your home pitched? We also work on shingle, metal, and cedar roofs. See all our roofing services.
“Flat roofing is the norm for commercial buildings across Long Island. It suits large footprints and rooftop equipment, but a leak costs more than the repair: damaged stock, lost work, unhappy tenants. Our harsh coastal climate, severe storms, and extreme seasonal temperature swings wear on these roofs, so we check drainage and seams first, not just the surface. We handle commercial flat roofing for property owners and managers, planned around the building and how it is used, with as little disruption as possible.”
Most flat roof leaks start in the same few places. Knowing where to look, and when a repair is enough, saves money and guesswork.

Every flat roof job follows the same path, from the first look at the roof to the final check. Tap a step to see what happens.
We look at the membrane, seams, flashing, drains, and the deck where we can, and note where water is getting in or sitting.
We tell you straight whether a repair or a replacement fits your roof, and explain what is in the quote.
We plan the material, the layout, the drainage, and the details around edges and rooftop equipment before any work starts.
Old roofing comes off where needed, wet insulation and damaged decking are fixed, and the surface is cleaned so the new roof sits on a sound base.
The new membrane goes down, and the seams and flashing are finished at walls, edges, drains, and anything that comes through the roof.
Before we call it done, we go over the finished roof, including seams, flashing, and how water drains off.

It depends on the material, how well it was installed, how well water drains off, and how much sun exposure, coastal moisture, and severe seasonal weather the roof sees. Roofs that drain properly and get checked after storms tend to last longer than roofs where water sits. An inspection is the best way to know where yours stands.
There is no single best material. EPDM is a rubber membrane, TPO is a single ply membrane, and modified bitumen is an asphalt based roofing that comes in rolls. Each has different strengths, and the right one depends on the building, the roof shape, foot traffic, and budget. We look at your roof and talk through which one fits.
A few leaks in a roof that is otherwise sound can often be repaired. Replacement makes more sense when the damage is widespread, the insulation is wet, the deck is soft, or repairs keep failing in new spots. We inspect the roof and tell you straight which one it is. See our roof repair and roof replacement services.
It depends on the roof. The main things are the material, the size and shape of the roof, whether the old roofing has to come off, how much insulation or deck repair is needed, drainage and slope work, and rooftop equipment. There is no one price for every flat roof, so we look at the roof first and explain what is in the quote.
Sometimes. A coating can work on a flat roof that is still sound, meaning the membrane is mostly intact, the insulation and deck are dry, and the leaks are limited. It is usually not enough when the insulation is wet, the deck is soft, or the membrane is failing across large areas. An inspection is the only way to know which side your roof is on.
Flat roofs leak where water finds a way in. Common spots are seams, flashing at walls and edges, drains, and anything that comes through the roof, like vents and rooftop units. Ponding water makes it worse because it sits on the membrane instead of draining off. A leak inside is often not directly under the damage, so the source has to be traced on the roof.
Yes, flat roofs are often a good fit for solar, but the roof needs to be in good shape first because panels stay up for years. If the membrane is near the end of its life, it is usually better to replace it before the panels go on. Mounts also need to be flashed so the roof stays watertight. We install both roofing and solar, so we can plan them together. See our solar panel installation service.
