Flat & Low-Slope Roofing in Maplewood
Not every roof in Maplewood has a pitch. The storefront strips along the parkway are mostly flat, and a lot of newer homes carry a low-slope section over a porch, a sunroom, or an addition. Water doesn’t run off these roofs so much as it lingers on them, which makes the materials and the workmanship a different trade from shingles.
The most common mistake we correct here is shingles installed on a slope too shallow to shed water. Below a 2/12 pitch, shingles leak on a schedule; wind-driven rain backs up under the courses and finds the nail holes. The fix is a membrane built for standing water, not a better brand of the wrong product.
Membranes We Install
We work in TPO (heat-welded seams that cure into one continuous sheet), EPDM rubber (decades of proven service on additions and garages), and modified bitumen where the substrate calls for it. Every install gets the details that decide a flat roof’s lifespan: real drainage slope, clean terminations at the walls, and properly flashed penetrations.
Ponding rings, blisters, or seams letting go on an existing roof are usually repairable; our roof leak repair team in Maplewood handles those calls. Business property? See commercial roofing in Maplewood. The full rundown is on our flat roofing page, with everything else on the Maplewood hub.
