Your flat roof stops being a constant concern. No more emergency calls during storms. No more water damage to your interior. No more wondering if this repair will actually hold.
You get a properly installed flat roofing system that handles Long Island’s weather extremes. TPO and EPDM membranes that flex with temperature changes instead of cracking. Professional seam welding that creates watertight bonds, not temporary fixes.
Your energy bills drop because reflective materials keep your building cooler in summer and better insulated in winter. You sleep better knowing your roof is actually protecting what matters most.
We’ve been solving flat roofing problems in Elwood, NY and throughout Long Island for over 20 years. We’re not general roofers who dabble in flat roofs – flat roofing is what we do.
We’ve seen every type of flat roof failure. Poor seam work. Wrong materials for the climate. Shortcuts that cost property owners thousands later. That’s exactly why we only use commercial-grade materials and proven installation methods.
Our family-owned business has built its reputation on flat roofs that actually last. Licensed, insured, and established right here in the community we serve.
We start with a thorough inspection of your existing roof structure and drainage. No surprises later because we identify potential issues upfront.
Next comes proper preparation. We remove old materials down to the deck if needed and ensure a clean, dry surface. Proper insulation goes down first, then we install your chosen membrane system – TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen.
The critical part is seam work. We use heat welding for TPO systems and professional-grade adhesives for EPDM. Every seam gets tested. Every penetration gets properly flashed. We don’t leave until your roof is completely watertight and ready for decades of Long Island weather.

We install three main flat roofing systems, each chosen for specific Long Island conditions. TPO roofing offers excellent energy efficiency with its reflective white surface and superior puncture resistance. Perfect for Elwood, NY buildings where cooling costs matter.
EPDM rubber roofing provides exceptional durability and flexibility. It expands and contracts with temperature changes without cracking – crucial for our climate extremes. Available in black or white depending on your energy goals.
Modified bitumen combines the best of old and new technology. Multiple layers create redundant protection, and the material handles foot traffic better than single-ply systems. Ideal for roofs that need regular maintenance access.
All our materials come with manufacturer warranties, and we back our installation work with comprehensive coverage. You’re protected both ways.
A properly installed flat roof should last 20-30 years in Long Island’s climate, with some premium systems lasting up to 50 years. The key is using the right materials and installation methods for our weather extremes.
TPO and EPDM systems handle temperature swings better than older materials. They flex instead of cracking when temperatures drop in winter or soar in summer. The membrane itself isn’t usually the problem – it’s poor seam work or inadequate drainage that causes early failure.
We see flat roofs installed by general contractors fail in 5-10 years because they don’t understand the specialized techniques required. Proper installation with commercial-grade materials makes all the difference in longevity.
TPO is a thermoplastic membrane that’s heat-welded at the seams, creating incredibly strong bonds. It’s naturally white and reflects about 87% of UV rays, making it excellent for energy savings. TPO is lighter weight and comes in wider rolls, meaning fewer seams overall.
EPDM is a synthetic rubber that uses adhesive or tape for seam connections. It’s extremely durable and flexible, expanding and contracting without damage. EPDM comes in larger sheets – up to 50 feet wide – which can eliminate seams entirely on smaller roofs.
For Elwood, NY properties, we typically recommend TPO for energy efficiency and EPDM for maximum durability. Both outperform older built-up roofing systems, but the choice depends on your building’s specific needs and your priorities for energy costs versus longevity.
Penetrations are where most flat roof leaks start, so we take extra care with flashing and sealing. Every HVAC unit, vent pipe, and roof drain gets custom flashing that integrates with your roofing membrane.
We don’t rely on caulk or tar – these temporary fixes fail within a few years. Instead, we use the same membrane material to create watertight seals around every penetration. For TPO systems, we heat-weld membrane patches. For EPDM, we use specially formulated adhesives designed for permanent bonds.
The key is bringing the roofing membrane up and over the flashing, not just sealing against it. This creates a redundant barrier that won’t fail even if the primary seal develops issues. It’s more work upfront, but it prevents 90% of the leak calls we see from other contractors’ work.
It depends on the age, condition, and type of your current roof system. If you have a single layer of membrane that’s less than 15 years old with localized damage, repair is often the best option.
We can patch small areas, replace sections around problem penetrations, or even install a new membrane over the existing one if the structure is sound. However, if you have multiple layers already, building codes require complete removal before installing new roofing.
The honest answer comes from a thorough inspection. We’ll check for ponding water, membrane deterioration, and structural issues. If repair will give you another 10-15 years of service, we’ll recommend that. If you’re looking at repeated repairs over the next few years, replacement makes more financial sense.
Flat roof costs vary significantly based on size, material choice, and complexity of the job. Basic EPDM installation typically runs $8-12 per square foot, while premium TPO systems range from $10-15 per square foot. Complete tear-off and replacement adds $2-4 per square foot.
For a typical 2,000 square foot flat roof in Elwood, NY, you’re looking at $16,000-$30,000 depending on the system and scope of work. Buildings with multiple penetrations, complex drainage, or structural repairs will be on the higher end.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials, labor, and any additional work needed. No surprises or change orders later. The investment might seem significant upfront, but a properly installed flat roof saves thousands in repairs and energy costs over its lifetime.
Yes, we provide emergency leak repair services throughout Elwood, NY and Long Island. Flat roof leaks can cause serious damage quickly, especially to commercial properties or homes with valuable contents below.
We respond to emergency calls within hours, not days. Our first priority is stopping the leak and preventing further damage. We’ll make temporary repairs to get you through the immediate crisis, then schedule proper permanent repairs once conditions allow.
Our emergency service includes leak detection using specialized equipment to find the exact source – not always obvious with flat roofs. We carry common repair materials on our trucks so we can often complete permanent fixes on the first visit for smaller issues. For major problems, we’ll secure the area and work with your insurance company to document damage and plan comprehensive repairs.
