Flat roofs fail at the details, not in the field.

TPO membrane and torch-down for commercial buildings, additions and porch roofs — detailed properly at the parapets, curbs and penetrations.

Low-slope systems

The membrane is the easy part.

Almost every flat roof we get called to hasn’t failed across the middle. It’s failed where the membrane had to turn a corner, wrap a curb or seal around a pipe.

01
TPO membrane
Heat-welded single-ply membrane for commercial buildings, warehouses and storefronts. Seams welded rather than glued, so the seam is as strong as the sheet.

02
Torch-down
Modified bitumen torched in place for smaller low-slope areas, additions and porch roofs. Tough, proven, and repairable in place.

03
Parapets & curbs
Where the roof turns up a wall or wraps a mechanical curb. Flashed, terminated and sealed to spec, because this is the actual failure point.

04
Drainage
Standing water is what kills a flat roof. Drains, scuppers and slope checked so the water leaves instead of sitting there.

Torch-down

Heat-welded, not glued.

Torch-applied membrane bonds by melting the material into the substrate and into itself, which is why a properly torched seam doesn’t peel the way an adhesive lap eventually does.

It takes a licensed, insured crew that knows what open flame on a roof deck requires.
