Specialized Systems for Flat Roofs

Flat and low-slope roofs, common on commercial buildings and some modern homes, need very different systems and techniques than steep-slope shingle roofs. Standing water, seams, and proper drainage are the main challenges, and getting them right takes the proper material and an experienced crew. Garrick Roofing installs and repairs TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen flat-roof systems across Greater Houston with the expertise these roofs demand, since 1989.

Choosing the Right Flat Roof System

Flat and low-slope roofs call for very different systems than steep-slope shingle roofs, and the best choice depends on your building, your budget, and how the roof is used. TPO is a popular single-ply membrane prized for its energy-efficient reflectivity in the Texas heat. EPDM is a durable rubber membrane known for its long life. Modified bitumen offers tough, multi-layer protection. We assess your roof and recommend the system that will give you the best performance and value.

Common Flat Roof Problems We Solve

  • Ponding water. Standing water that does not drain shortens roof life — we correct the drainage.
  • Failed seams. Most flat-roof leaks start at seams; we seal and repair them properly.
  • Flashing failures. Around drains, curbs, and rooftop units, where leaks love to hide.
  • Blisters and splits. Signs of aging or trapped moisture in the membrane.
  • Poor insulation. Driving up energy costs; the right system improves efficiency.

Repair, Recover, or Replace?

Not every flat roof problem requires a full replacement. Many seam, flashing, and ponding issues can be repaired to extend the roof’s life. In other cases, a recover — installing a new membrane over the existing one — is a cost-effective middle ground. And when a roof is at the end of its life, a full replacement is the right long-term investment. We give you an honest assessment and the most cost-effective option that will actually last, not the most expensive one.

Flat Roofing Questions, Answered

What is the best material for a flat roof in Houston?
It depends on the building. TPO is popular for its energy efficiency in the Texas heat, EPDM is prized for durability, and modified bitumen offers tough multi-layer protection. We recommend the best fit after assessing your roof.
Why does my flat roof keep leaking?
Most flat-roof leaks come from failed seams, flashing, or standing water known as ponding. We track the leak to its real source and fix the underlying problem, not just the symptom.
Can a flat roof be repaired, or does it need replacing?
Often it can be repaired. Many seam, flashing, and ponding problems are fixable, extending the roof’s life. We give you an honest assessment of repair versus replacement.
Do you handle commercial flat roofs?
Yes. Flat and low-slope systems are central to our commercial roofing work, and we serve both businesses and homeowners with flat roofs across Greater Houston.
What is the difference between TPO and EPDM?
TPO is a light-colored single-ply membrane prized for reflecting heat and improving energy efficiency in the Texas sun. EPDM is a durable black rubber membrane known for its long service life. We recommend the best fit based on your building and goals.
How long does a flat commercial roof last?
It depends on the system and maintenance, but quality TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen roofs typically last 20 to 30 years. Regular inspections and maintenance can meaningfully extend that life.
