Process of Installing Commercial Flat Roofs

BY: Rickey Evans, Certified Commercial Roofing

For commercial buildings in Houston, TX, it’s important to make sure the roof is in good condition. A flat roof is a common type of commercial roof, and it needs to be installed properly to function correctly. Here at Certified Commercial Roofing, we have years of experience installing flat roofs on all types of commercial buildings. We’re familiar with all the diverse types of flat roofs and know how to install them properly so they last for many years.

What is a Flat Roof?

A flat roof has a barely noticeable slope compared to other types of roofs with sloped designs. The angle of the incline on a roof is typically referred to as its pitch, and flat roofs seldom exceed a slope of 10°.

This older form of roofing appeared exclusively in areas with dry climates because they allowed homeowners to utilize the space on top of the roof as living quarters or gardens (known as living roofs). Nowadays, buildings with flat roofs are all over the world.

Steps of Flat Roof Installation

The first step is to remove the old roofing material if there is any. This step is important because it gives us a chance to inspect the underlying structure of the roof and make sure it’s in good condition. If there are any damaged areas, we’ll repair them before proceeding with the installation.

Once the old roofing material has been removed, we’ll clean the roof’s surface so it’s free of dirt, debris, and other materials which could interfere with the new roofing. After the roof is clean, we’ll install a layer of tar paper or another type of underlayment. This step is important because it helps to protect the roof from water damage.

After the underlayment has been installed, we’ll begin installing the new roofing material. We’ll start by installing a layer of felt paper and then install the shingles, tiles, or other material chosen for the new roof.

Finally, we’ll install the flashing around the edges of the roof and any other areas where water could potentially enter the roof. This step is important because it helps to prevent leaks.

Benefits of a Commercial Flat Roof

There are many benefits to having a commercial flat roof, and we believe they outweigh the benefits of other types of roofs. One of the biggest benefits is flat roofs are easier to install than other types of roofs. They also tend to be more affordable, which is always a consideration for business owners.

Another benefit of flat roofs is they’re easier to maintain. They don’t require as much upkeep as other types of roofs, and they’re also less likely to develop problems over time.
