Flat and Low-Slope Roofing in Winter Park, FL
Flat roofs are never quite flat. They are designed to shed water slowly, and when they stop doing that, the ceiling below tells you first.
- Membrane systems
- Porches and additions
- Commercial buildings
Summary
Low slopes, careful seams
Winter Park's downtown shops, offices and many additions to older homes have low-slope roofs. Shingle cannot be used when the pitch is too shallow, so these roofs use membrane systems and sealed seams.
The weak points are the seams, the edges, the penetrations and the drains. We inspect each of them, look for ponding water and test where we can.
Repairs are often practical on a membrane roof, and when a replacement is needed we explain the system and what it protects.

Pay for the roof over time
Do not let the budget decide the date
A leak or an insurer's letter sets the schedule, and the money should not hold up the work. Our financing starts a new roof with nothing down.
- No credit check required
- $0 down with 100% financing
- Secured and unsecured financing
- 10, 20 and 30 year terms
- No pre-payment penalty
Terms vary with approved credit and project size. Ask us for the exact numbers on your roof.
The monthly payment for a 15-year home improvement installment loan of $10,000 with an APR of 10.99% would be $113. No down payment required. Not all loan products will be available to all partners or all consumers.
Questions
Flat Roofing: your questions
Why does my flat roof leak?
Seams, penetrations and drains are the usual causes, along with ponding water that never dries. The inspection traces the water back to the opening and tells you whether a repair or a replacement is the sound choice.
Can you coat my flat roof instead of replacing it?
Sometimes, when the roof underneath is still sound and dry. We test for wet insulation and tell you honestly if a coating would only cover a problem that is going to come back.
Do you work on commercial buildings?
Yes, including shops, offices and association buildings. We inspect each roof area, report the findings with photographs and quote the work in a form a manager or an owner can compare.
What does a membrane roof last?
It depends on the system, the exposure and the care it gets. We assess the roof you have, look at the seams and the drains, and tell you what we see rather than quoting a generic figure.
Can a porch roof be flat?
Yes, with a system made for low slope. Shingle cannot be used when the pitch is too shallow, so porches and small additions get a membrane roof with sealed seams and a proper edge detail.
