Types of Flat Roofing Materials and Their Benefits

Flat roofing materials vary significantly in durability, efficiency, and application, and Steele Restoration offers a range of options to suit your flat roofing needs. Here’s a breakdown of popular flat roofing materials and why each might be the best choice for your property:

  • EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer). EPDM is a synthetic rubber material known for its flexibility and resistance to UV damage. This material is an excellent choice for the Carolinas' warm climate, as it expands and contracts without cracking. Its durability makes it one of the longest-lasting flat roofing options available, with a lifespan of up to 30 years. EPDM is also relatively low-maintenance, requiring minimal repairs and upkeep.
  • TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin). TPO is a single-ply roofing membrane popular for its energy efficiency. This material reflects UV rays, helping to keep your property cooler and reduce energy costs. TPO is a highly affordable option with strong resistance to algae, mold, and other environmental elements. It’s durable yet lightweight, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. TPO’s energy savings can also significantly lower cooling bills and reduce the strain on HVAC systems during hot summer months.
  • PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride). PVC roofing offers exceptional durability and strength, especially in commercial settings. This material is highly resistant to chemicals, fire, and wind, making it a solid choice for larger buildings or those with more complex flat roofing needs. Additionally, PVC roofing membranes have heat-welded seams that create a waterproof barrier, providing superior protection against leaks. While PVC is generally a higher-cost material, its longevity and low maintenance often make it a worthwhile investment.

Choosing the right flat roofing material can seem overwhelming, but Steele Restoration is here to help you make an informed decision based on your specific needs, such as weather resistance, durability, and energy efficiency, as well as your budget. We offer thorough inspections and free estimates to guide you to the best option for your property.

Flat Roof Installation Process: What to Expect

Flat roofing installations differ from traditional sloped roofs in that they require a special drainage system, precise waterproofing techniques, and the use of durable materials to prevent water pooling and leaks, ensuring quality and longevity. Here’s what you can expect when you choose Steele Restoration for your flat roof installation:

  • Initial Consultation and Free Estimate. We start with a comprehensive inspection and consultation to understand your property’s needs. We offer a free estimate for all potential projects, whether it’s a commercial building or a smaller residential property. During this phase, we discuss material options, financing, and payment plans to meet your budget.
  • Preparation and Roof Removal. Our team carefully prepares your property, ensuring all surrounding areas are protected. We then remove any existing roofing material, checking for damage or structural issues that may need attention before proceeding.
  • Insulation Installation. Proper insulation is critical for flat roofs to prevent energy loss. We install high-quality insulation tailored to your material choice, whether EPDM, TPO, or PVC, ensuring your new roof offers thermal efficiency and weather resilience.
  • Membrane Application. Once the insulation is in place, we apply your chosen membrane (EPDM, TPO, or PVC) with meticulous precision. This involves expert sealing techniques to prevent leaks and maximize the material’s lifespan. Our team uses professional-grade adhesives and heat-welding technology where needed to secure every seam.
  • Flashing and Sealing. We install flashing around all edges, vents, and other roof features, ensuring your flat roof is fully protected against water penetration. Proper sealing and flashing are crucial steps that make the difference in durability and leak prevention.
  • Final Inspection and Post-Support. After the installation is complete, we conduct a final inspection to ensure every detail meets our high standards and yours. We believe in our work, which is why we offer a three-year labor and manufacturer warranty. If you ever need assistance or support, we’re just a phone call away—here when you need us most.

Why You Should Trust a Licensed Expert for Flat Roofing Solutions

Flat roofing installation and repair require a high level of expertise to be effective and long-lasting. This is because the flat design demands precise techniques to prevent water accumulation and ensure proper drainage. When handled by someone inexperienced or attempted as a DIY project, it can lead to poor drainage and water damage, compromising the roof's integrity.

Licensed professionals like Steele Restoration bring the knowledge and tools to get the job done right. Choosing a flat roofing specialist is about finding a team you can trust, and we are here to support you with a high standard of quality, reliability, and expertise. From the initial consultation to ongoing maintenance, our hands-on approach ensures your satisfaction at every step of the process. 

We also have an insurance background that uniquely positions us to help clients navigate insurance claims and financing. We offer financing options through GreenSky, making it easier to get the flat roof you need without breaking your budget. With our transparent pricing, and commitment to customer satisfaction, Steele Restoration goes above and beyond to provide the best service possible.
