Flat Roofs
Although flat roofs or built up roofs are more commonly found in commercial building than in homes, they are well suited to residential structures. Flat roofing is installed by using layers of hot tar and roofing felt alternately and then covering this with a layer of gravel. Layers of fiberglass based asphalt sheeting and hot bitumen may also be used in flat roof installation. Flat roofing is also known as tar or gravel roofing because of the gravel layering that they have which helps minimize damage from the sun. Our Orlando, FL area specialist roofing contractors bring years of experience in flat roofing industry and are prepared to help you resolve all kinds of roofing issues, including those relating to roofing estimate.
Flat roofing does not require heavy duty maintenance minimizing up keep costs. Generally they come with warranties of 12 years but they will need to be replaced once their durability ends. However flat roofing tends to leak as soon as it is punctured. This can be avoided by using paving stones to protect the roofing membrane. Avoid collection of water after the rains by installing drains at the edges.

I would like an estimate to replace the flat roof on my garage. The joists are sound but the rest of the roof needs replacing. it consists of tar flat boards that are rotten. the garage is 54 years old and has numerous repairs over the years. Its a flat roof, which I might want to change. Please give me a call. This would be a cash job.
