Flat roofs don't drain like sloped roofs. Water sits instead of running off. That fundamental difference means flat roofing requires specialized materials, installation methods, and drainage solutions. Hockessin Roofing & Maintenance installs and repairs TPO, PVC, EPDM, and modified bitumen flat roofing systems throughout Hockessin.
Modified bitumen is our recommendation for residential flat roofs and high-traffic commercial applications. Two-ply torch-applied SBS system with a granulated cap sheet handles foot traffic, thermal cycling, and DE UV exposure. It's the toughest flat roof membrane for everyday abuse.
Our Flat Roofing Process
Flat Roof Inspection
Before recommending repair, coating, or replacement, we inspect the entire flat roof system. Membrane condition, insulation integrity, and drainage patterns all factor into our recommendation.
Detailed Proposal
Based on inspection findings, we recommend the right solution: targeted repair, a coating system, or full replacement. Each option is priced with material specs, warranty terms, and expected lifespan.
Professional Installation
Our flat roof crew installs per manufacturer specifications and NRCA guidelines. TPO seams hot-air welded and probe-tested. Modified bitumen torch-applied in two plies. EPDM fully adhered with proper lap adhesive. Tapered insulation installed to create positive drainage.
Warranty & Drainage Test
Your flat roof gets a completion package: installation documentation, warranty certificates, drainage verification, and maintenance recommendations. We stand behind every flat roof we install in Hockessin.
