Why Choose Flat Roofing for Your Property?
Flat roofs are a versatile and practical option for both residential and commercial properties. Here are some key advantages of flat roofing:
- Cost-Effective Installation: Flat roofs are generally quicker and easier to install, which can result in lower labour costs compared to sloped roofing systems.
- Ease of Maintenance: The flat surface allows for easy access, making inspections, repairs, and maintenance much simpler.
- Durability: Modern flat roofing materials are highly durable and designed to withstand harsh weather, including heavy snow, rain, and high winds typical of the Ottawa area.
- Energy Efficiency: Flat roofs can be insulated more effectively, reducing heat loss in the winter and helping to keep your property cooler in the summer.
- Additional Usable Space: A flat roof provides the option to create additional outdoor space, such as a rooftop garden, patio, or HVAC unit placement, maximizing your property’s utility.

With our diverse range of materials, colours, and finishes, you’ll get a roof that enhances your home’s durability, energy efficiency, and curb appeal for years to come.
EPDM Roofing (Rubber Roofing)
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) is a synthetic rubber roofing membrane that is both flexible and highly durable. It is resistant to UV radiation, extreme temperatures, and weather damage, making it an excellent option for Ottawa’s diverse climate. EPDM is easy to install and maintain, providing a cost-effective flat roofing solution.
TPO Roofing (Thermoplastic Olefin)
TPO roofing is known for its energy efficiency and reflective properties. It’s a lightweight, single-ply membrane that is resistant to UV rays, chemical exposure, and punctures, making it ideal for commercial and residential flat roofs. TPO roofing can help reduce cooling costs by reflecting sunlight, which is especially beneficial during Ottawa’s hot summers.
Modified Bitumen Roofing
Modified bitumen is a durable, multi-layer roofing system that offers enhanced weather resistance and longevity. It consists of asphalt reinforced with fiberglass or polyester, making it highly resistant to punctures, tears, and impact. Its multi-layered construction provides excellent waterproofing, ensuring your property is protected from leaks and water damage.
Built-Up Roofing (BUR)
Built-up roofing is a traditional flat roofing system that consists of multiple layers of bitumen (asphalt) and reinforcing fabrics. This creates a thick, durable membrane that provides excellent protection against water infiltration, extreme weather, and UV exposure. BUR is known for its longevity and is a preferred choice for commercial properties looking for a robust flat roofing solution.
Flat Roof Maintenance and Repairs
Regular maintenance is key to extending the lifespan of your flat roof. Our team offers comprehensive flat roof inspections and maintenance services, including cleaning debris, checking for leaks, and repairing any signs of damage. Addressing issues promptly can prevent costly repairs down the line and keep your roof in optimal condition year-round.
Key Maintenance Services:
- Regular Inspections: We recommend scheduling an annual or bi-annual roof inspection, especially after harsh weather conditions like heavy snowfall or storms. Our team will carefully inspect your flat roof for signs of damage, such as cracks, blisters, or pooling water.
- Debris Removal: Flat roofs can accumulate debris, leaves, and dirt, which can block drainage systems and lead to water pooling. We offer regular cleaning services to ensure your roof stays clear of obstructions that could compromise its integrity.
- Drainage Check: Proper drainage is essential for flat roofs to prevent water accumulation and leaks. During our maintenance visits, we inspect and clean drains, scuppers, and downspouts to ensure water flows away efficiently.
- Seam and Flashing Repairs: Over time, seams and flashings on flat roofs can become vulnerable to leaks. We inspect these areas closely, making any necessary repairs to maintain a watertight seal and prevent moisture infiltration.
Flat Roof Repairs:
Despite regular maintenance, your flat roof may occasionally need repairs due to weather damage, wear and tear, or unforeseen issues. Our repair services include:
- Leak Detection and Repair: Water leaks are a common issue with flat roofs if not properly maintained. Our team uses advanced techniques to quickly locate leaks and repair them, preventing further damage to the roofing structure.
- Surface Damage Repair: Cracks, blisters, and punctures can occur due to foot traffic, weather conditions, or material fatigue. We use high-quality patching materials to repair surface damage, restoring your roof’s protective capabilities.
- Resurfacing: For older flat roofs showing signs of wear, we offer resurfacing services to apply a new protective layer. This not only extends the life of your roof but also enhances its resistance to UV rays and weather elements.
