  2. Install underlayment and flashing: This is a critical step to prevent leaks.
  3. Apply starter shingles: Special shingles are installed along edges.
  4. Lay the shingles: Start from the bottom, work upwards, overlapping according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  5. Install ridge caps: These cover the roof’s peak.

Are flat roofs good?

Flat roofs offer several benefits:

  • Cost-effectiveness: They are generally more affordable to install than sloped roofs.
  • Space maximization: Flat roofs can create usable rooftop areas for patios, gardens, or solar panels.
  • Easier maintenance: Their low slope makes access and maintenance simpler than with many sloped roofs.

Contact Roof Repair 99 for a consultation to see if a flat roof is right for your needs!

Can you put a metal roof on a flat roof?

Yes, in most cases, you can install a standing seam metal roof over an existing flat roof. This requires proper framing to create a slight slope. A qualified roofing contractor like Roof Repair 99 can evaluate your existing roof and advise you on whether a metal roof retrofit is a suitable option.

Can you put shingles on a flat roof?

Traditional asphalt shingles are not designed for flat roofs. The low slope prevents proper water drainage, leading to leaks and premature roof failure. However, there are specialized roofing products that mimic the look of shingles, suitable for low-slope applications.

Do flat roofs leak?

Flat roofs, if not properly installed or maintained, can be prone to leaks. That’s why it’s crucial to choose an experienced roofing contractor like Roof Repair 99 and to schedule regular inspections and maintenance.

Do flat roofs need gutters?

Yes, most flat roofs benefit from a gutter system. While technically “flat,” they have a very slight slope.  Gutters and downspouts help manage water flow away from your building’s foundation.

Do flat roofs need ventilation?

Proper ventilation is critical for any roof, but especially for flat roofs, to help prevent moisture buildup and extend their lifespan.  Consult with Roof Repair 99 to assess your flat roof’s ventilation needs.

Do you need gravel on a flat roof?

Gravel was traditionally used on certain flat roof systems (built-up roofs) for UV protection and to weigh down the materials. Modern roofing materials often don’t require gravel and offer a wider range of color options.

Does a flat roof need a parapet?

Parapets (low walls extending above the roofline) are not always required but can provide added safety, improve wind resistance, or conceal equipment. Building code requirements or your personal preference might dictate whether a parapet is necessary.

How do flat roofs drain?

Most flat roofs use a combination of a slight slope and either internal drains (within the roof structure) or scuppers (openings along the edges of the roof) to guide water to gutters and downspouts.
