Flat roofed homes can be very attractive, with historical designs and elegant architecture; however the roofing products and contractors used can pose real issues for homeowners. The vast majority of residential roofing contractors are focused on shingles or metal panel roofing, which require a minimum of 3” per 1’ of slope to shed water properly. These contractors have a very limited knowledge of flat roofing materials available, and little to no experience installing materials correctly.

There are five attributes a homeowner should be looking for when selecting a roofing system/contractor for their flat roofed home:

1. A long term roofing solution that requires little to no maintenance and carries a manufacturer’s warranty.
2. A roofing system that is specifically designed for flat roofs.
3. A roofing system that is quick and easy to install with no open flames, hazardous chemicals, or dangerous fumes.
4. A roofing system that can provide savings on energy costs.
5. A roofing contractor with experience and references on flat roofed projects.
