You get a flat roof that doesn’t leak. No more buckets in your living room during storms. No more wondering if this repair will actually hold.
Your flat roof becomes a reliable barrier that protects your home investment instead of threatening it. You sleep better knowing your roof can handle Long Island’s harsh weather without failing when you need it most.
The right flat roofing system saves you money long-term through better energy efficiency and fewer emergency repairs. You avoid the stress of dealing with water damage, mold issues, and the disruption that comes with roof failures.
We’ve served Selden and Suffolk County for over 22 years as a family-owned, fully licensed and insured contractor. We’ve built our reputation by solving flat roof problems that other companies couldn’t fix.
Long Island’s weather is tough on flat roofs. The freeze-thaw cycles, coastal storms, and temperature swings that hit Selden homes require contractors who understand local conditions. We’ve seen every type of flat roof failure this area can produce.
Our team specializes in TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems because these materials perform best in our climate when installed correctly. Most residential roofers don’t have the proper training or insurance to handle flat roof installation properly – we do.
First, we inspect your current roof situation and explain exactly what’s needed. No surprises, no upselling – just straight talk about your options and realistic pricing.
We prepare the roof deck properly, which most contractors skip. This step determines whether your new roof lasts 20 years or fails in five. We remove old materials completely when needed and ensure proper drainage slopes.
Installation follows manufacturer specifications exactly. Our crews are trained in heat welding for TPO and modified bitumen systems, creating molecular bonds that don’t fail like adhesive seams. We handle all flashing details at walls, penetrations, and drains where most leaks start.
Final inspection covers every seam, detail, and potential problem area. You get documentation of the work completed and warranty information before we consider the job finished.

Complete flat roofing services including emergency leak repairs, full system replacements, and preventive maintenance. We work with all flat roof materials: TPO, EPDM rubber, modified bitumen, and roof coatings.
Professional leak detection using advanced techniques to find problems that aren’t obvious. Many flat roof leaks travel 50 feet or more before showing up inside your home, making diagnosis tricky for inexperienced contractors.
Selden’s post-war housing stock means many homes have flat roof additions or low-slope sections that require specialized attention. We understand the unique challenges these older homes present and know how to integrate new roofing with existing structures properly.
24/7 emergency service when storms hit. We’ll beat any written quote while using only top-quality materials backed by full manufacturer warranties.
TPO and modified bitumen work best for most Selden applications because they use heat welding to create permanent seams. These materials handle Long Island’s temperature swings and coastal weather better than adhesive-based systems.
EPDM rubber roofing can work well too, but requires more precise installation conditions and maintenance. The seams use adhesives that can fail if not applied perfectly, which creates risk.
For your specific situation, the best choice depends on your roof size, budget, and long-term plans. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each option based on your actual roof conditions, not just push the most expensive material.
Most residential flat roof projects take 2-4 days depending on size and complexity. Weather can extend timelines since we won’t install roofing in rain or high winds.
Preparation work often takes longer than the actual roofing installation. Removing old materials, repairing deck issues, and ensuring proper drainage slopes are critical steps that can’t be rushed.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated on progress. Emergency repairs can often be completed the same day, but full replacements need proper planning and favorable weather conditions.
Flat roofs don’t actually leak more when installed correctly, but they’re less forgiving of installation mistakes. Water sits on flat surfaces longer, so every seam and detail must be perfect.
Most flat roof leaks happen at flashing points where the roof meets walls, penetrations, or drains. These details require specialized knowledge that many general roofers don’t have.
The biggest problem is contractors who treat flat roofing like regular shingle work. Flat roofs need different materials, techniques, and attention to drainage patterns. When done right by experienced contractors, flat roofs can last 20-30 years without leaking.
Residential flat roof replacement typically runs $8-15 per square foot depending on material choice, roof access, and existing conditions. Complete tear-offs cost more than overlay installations.
TPO systems usually cost less upfront than EPDM or modified bitumen, but all three materials offer similar lifespans when installed properly. The installation quality matters more than material cost differences.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs. No surprise charges or hidden fees. We’ll also beat any comparable written quote from licensed, insured contractors.
Many flat roof problems can be repaired effectively if caught early. Small leaks, minor membrane damage, and flashing issues often don’t require full replacement.
However, multiple leak points, widespread membrane deterioration, or structural issues usually mean replacement makes more economic sense. Repeated patch repairs on failing systems waste money.
We’ll give you an honest assessment of repair versus replacement options with realistic expectations for each approach. If repairs will likely fail within a few years, we’ll recommend replacement even if it costs more upfront.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency flat roof repair throughout Selden and Suffolk County. Storm damage and sudden leaks can’t wait for business hours.
Emergency repairs focus on stopping water entry immediately, then planning proper permanent fixes. We carry materials for temporary patches and can often complete emergency work the same day you call.
Our emergency service includes leak detection to find the actual problem, not just patch visible symptoms. Many emergency calls turn out to be flashing or drainage issues that look like roof membrane failures.
