Flat Roof Systems We Install & Service
Tailored Commercial Solutions
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)
Highly reflective, energy-efficient single-ply membrane with hot-air welded seams for elite leak protection and reduced cooling costs.
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)
Extremely durable synthetic rubber roofing known for superior elasticity, weatherability, and long-term UV resistance.
Modified Bitumen & Torch-Down Systems
Multi-ply asphalt-based systems reinforced with fiberglass or polyester for heavy-duty puncture and foot-traffic resistance.
Built-Up Roofing (BUR) & Gravel Ballasted
Layered aggregate systems offering maximum fire resistance, UV protection, and long-term structural durability.
Commercial Fluid-Applied Elastomeric Coatings
Seamless acrylic or silicone roof coatings applied over existing flat roofs to restore waterproofing and extend service life without full tear-off costs.
Preventative Maintenance & Inspections
Annual diagnostic sweeps to assess seam integrity, flashing, roof penetrations, and drainage systems to maximize manufacturer warranty coverage.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Flat Roofing
What is the best type of flat roof for a commercial building in Dallas, TX?
Single-ply TPO roofing is currently the top choice for commercial flat roofs in DFW due to its high solar reflectivity, energy savings, and durable heat-welded seams. However, heavy industrial facilities with chemical exposure or frequent rooftop foot traffic may benefit more from modified bitumen or ballasted BUR systems.
What causes ponding water on a commercial flat roof, and how is it fixed?
Ponding water (water standing for more than 48 hours) is typically caused by clogged drainage systems, sagging roof decking, or inadequate slope. It is resolved by installing tapered insulation crickets, expanding drain capacities, or repairing sagging structural deck supports.
Can you put a new flat roof over an existing one?
Yes, local building codes in Texas often allow up to two layers of roofing material on a commercial building. If the underlying insulation is dry and structurally sound, a recover/overlay system can be installed, saving significant tear-off and disposal costs.
How long does an industrial flat roof last?
Depending on the material choice and routine maintenance, commercial flat roofs last between 20 to 35+ years. TPO and EPDM single-ply membranes typically last 20–30 years, while multi-ply Built-Up (BUR) and modified bitumen roofs can exceed 30 years.
How often should commercial flat roofs be inspected?
Flat roofs in North Texas should be inspected at least twice a year (spring and fall) and immediately after severe hail or high-wind storms to check for seam separations, drainage blockages, or membrane punctures.
