Flat Roof Repair in Southern California

We understand the frustration of requiring flat roof repair or replacement work. Flat roofs are a consistent roofing option on many commercial structures.

If you need roof repair services in Southern California, HP Roofing Pro is your first choice for high-quality work at affordable rates. 

Flat Roof Solutions For Commercial & Residential Applications

Multiple types of flat roof materials and treatments are available to commercial and residential customers. You can find more information about these different substrates in our breakdown below.

Built-Up Roofing (BUR)

The BUR flat roof treatment is perhaps the most tried and true method in the roofing industry. It involves applying to roof felt, tar paper, and asphalt-based roofing tar. These two are laid down in multiple layers and then topped with a layer of gravel or another reflective coating that assists with cooling and improves overall durability. 

Maintenance of these types of roofs typically involves laying down more layers of roofing felt and roofing tar to strengthen existing layers. As these layers reapplied, more weight is added to the roof, and removing the roofing surface becomes more difficult should you use a different composite material. BUR is one of the more budget-friendly options. However, the more modern flat roofing materials are better in maintenance, weight, and durability. 

Modified Bitumen

Bitumen is a more modern flat roofing material with three ft. wide rolls, making it simple to transport, handle, and apply. All required is rolling out the material and having the seams overlap to create a seal. You can finalize the seal by fusing them with a torch or using an adhesive agent. Like the BUR material, a top layer of reflective coating is applied to help with heat absorption and durability. 

EPDM Roofing

Ethylene propylene diene monomer, or EPDM, is comparable to a common rubber inner tube. EPDM is like modified bitumen; it comes in large rolls and is easily applicable to large flat roofing surfaces. The rubber material is then glued to the roof surface. You can also elect to have EPDM installed with metal fasteners. EPDM roofs have various benefits, including durability (can last up to 20 years with little to no maintenance) and a dark tone that absorbs great heat. There is a reflective top coating, and customers can pay a little extra to apply an additional EPDM membrane for more protection. 

PVC Roofing

Polyvinyl chloride is a single-ply roofing material that is high-performance and commonly seen on larger commercial flat roof jobs. The seams between PVC sheets are fused together using a specialized heat gun, resulting in a moisture-repellant membrane with top-grade durability. Its naturally white color helps with heat reflection and requires no additional coating or treatments. 

PVC roofing is one of the more expensive options, but its price is justified by its long-lasting durability and impermeable membrane. Customers who elect to use PVC roofing stand a smaller likelihood of experiencing problems with the roof over time.

 Silicone or Acrylic Roof Coating:

If you want to give your commercial building’s roof a new lease of life, you might want to consider a roof coating. Roof coatings are an excellent way to extend the lifespan of your roof and prevent minor damages and leaks. One of the most popular types of roof coatings is acrylic coatings.

Acrylic coatings are applied by spraying or rolling and create a seamless, waterproof layer on the surface of your roof. The coating is made of a flexible, elastomeric material that can expand and contract with changes in temperature and weather conditions. This makes it an excellent choice for roofs exposed to extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain or hail.

Acrylic coatings are also highly reflective and can help to reduce the temperature inside your home during the summer months, which can help to lower your cooling costs. Additionally, because the coating is seamless, it can help to prevent water from seeping through any cracks or gaps in your roof.

Overall, a roof coating is an excellent option to protect your roof from the elements and extend its lifespan. Acrylic coatings, in particular, offer a great combination of durability, flexibility, and energy efficiency. So, why not give your roof a new lease of life and invest in an acrylic roof coating today?

Spray Foam Roofing:

If you want to repair a flat roof, spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is a great option. By simply spraying the material over the damaged area, it will expand and harden to create a strong, insulating layer.

How Does HP Roofing Pro’s Flat Roof Repair Service Work?

We send one of our qualified roof repair experts to your building for an inspection. This inspection will determine the cause of your roof issues, and our technician will provide you with several options for restoring the roof to its normal condition. If you have a leaky flat roof, our technician can identify the source of the leak and determine the best possible patch options for your flat roof, depending on its material. 

Once we have given you your quote and you choose which flat roof repair or replacement option you want, we can set an installation/repair date. Our crew works quickly and efficiently so you can continue business normally. 

Flat Roof Maintenance Options

Another component of HP Roofing Pro’s service is routine flat roof maintenance. We recommend investing in a routine flat roof maintenance package to keep your roof in better working condition for longer. Routine maintenance is also more of a cost-effective way to service your roof as opposed to making an extensive repair once disaster strikes. Whether for functionality or appearance, keeping your flat roof in top condition is always recommended.
