Flat and low slope roofs are just what they say, having either no slope at all or a very slight slant or angle. They are found in both residential and commercial structures. This type of roof has many advantages, which include include cost, accessibility; and inspection safety. This type of roof can also pose some disadvantages such as coating materials are not long-lasting; ongoing maintenance requirements; and unsuitability for many kinds of buildings.

Flat roofs are many times classified or made as a built-up roof (B.U.R.) and are typical in many commercial applications. This roof consists of many plies (layers) of roof felts that are laminated together and covered with a surfacing agent, frequently gravel as in tar-and-gravel roofs. New technology has created more choices in this field of roofing such as modified bitumen, single-ply, and various sprayed or rolled applications. Flat roofs do require special attention and trained professionals. Please call us to discuss flat or low slope roofing.
