FLAT ROOF INSTALLATION IN SANTA MONICA
A flat roof lives or dies by its drainage and its seams. Before a new membrane goes down, we correct low spots, add crickets where water collects, and make sure every drain and scupper can carry the load of a winter storm.
FLAT ROOF SYSTEMS
TORCH-DOWN
Modified bitumen torched in layers, durable and common on Santa Monica homes and small buildings.
RUBBER (EPDM)
Synthetic rubber roofing that stays flexible through heat and cold for decades.
TPO & PVC
Reflective heat-welded single-ply membranes that keep the building cooler.
ROOF COATINGS
Silicone and acrylic restoration over a sound flat roof. See roof coating.
FLAT ROOF REPAIR
- Open seams and split laps
- Blisters, cracks and alligatored surfaces
- Ponding water and clogged drains or scuppers
- Failed flashing at walls, parapets and rooftop equipment
- Punctures from foot traffic and dropped tools
FLAT ROOF QUESTIONS
WHY DOES MY FLAT ROOF HOLD WATER?
Low spots from settling, sagging decking or poor original slope. Water that sits for more than a couple of days breaks down the surface. Tapered insulation or crickets correct it.
CAN A FLAT ROOF BE REPAIRED INSTEAD OF REPLACED?
Often, yes, when the damage is localized and the insulation underneath is dry. A coating can also extend a sound roof's life.
WHICH FLAT ROOF SYSTEM LASTS LONGEST?
It depends on the installation and maintenance as much as the material. We'll walk you through the trade-offs for your building.
