Flat Roof FAQs

What is the best flat roofing system for Franktown?

There isn’t a single “best” system for all buildings in Franktown. The optimal choice depends on your specific building requirements, budget constraints, energy efficiency goals, and long-term plans. TPO and PVC offer excellent energy efficiency in cooling-dominated buildings, EPDM provides superior durability in extreme conditions, and multi-ply systems like modified bitumen offer excellent puncture resistance. Our assessment process identifies the ideal system for your specific needs.

How long do flat roofs last in Colorado?

With proper installation and maintenance, quality flat roofing systems in Franktown typically last: 25-30+ years for EPDM, 20-25+ years for TPO and PVC, 20-25 years for modified bitumen, and 15-20+ years for built-up roofing. Factors affecting longevity include material quality, installation expertise, maintenance frequency, and exposure conditions. Our systems are designed and installed to maximize lifespan in Colorado’s climate.

How do you address ponding water on flat roofs?

We address ponding water through a combination of approaches: installation of tapered insulation to create proper slope, strategic drain placement, addition or unclogging of scuppers, creation of cricket diverters to channel water, installation of additional drainage points, and selection of membrane systems with enhanced ponding water resistance. Our solutions are customized to your roof’s specific drainage challenges.

Can you install a flat roof in winter in Franktown?

Yes, we can install certain flat roofing systems during winter months in Franktown, taking advantage of Colorado’s frequent mild winter days. EPDM and some modified bitumen systems can be installed in colder temperatures. We carefully monitor weather conditions, implement cold-weather application procedures, and use specialized techniques to ensure proper installation. When necessary, we utilize temporary heating methods to maintain proper application temperatures.

How much does a flat roof replacement cost?

Flat roof replacement costs in Franktown typically range from $7-$15 per square foot, depending on several factors: system type, insulation requirements, removal of existing materials, roof access difficulty, penetration density, and necessary deck repairs. We provide detailed, transparent estimates after conducting a thorough roof assessment, with options at different price points to accommodate your budget.

Do flat roofs require more maintenance?

Flat roofs generally require more proactive maintenance than steeply sloped roofs due to their lower drainage efficiency and exposure to standing water, debris accumulation, and UV radiation. We recommend bi-annual professional inspections (spring and fall) and scheduled maintenance to identify and address minor issues before they become major problems. Our maintenance programs are specifically designed for flat roofing systems.
