Your flat roof problems end here. No more emergency tarps during storms. No more water stains spreading across your ceiling. No more wondering if this repair will actually last.
When we finish your flat roof project, you get a watertight barrier that handles everything Long Island throws at it. Heavy snow loads, driving rain, coastal salt air, and those brutal freeze-thaw cycles that crack inferior roofing systems.
You’ll sleep better knowing your roof can take 50+ years of Brookhaven weather without failing. Your energy bills drop because proper insulation and reflective surfaces keep your building comfortable year-round. Most importantly, you stop dealing with roof emergencies that disrupt your life and drain your wallet.
We’ve been solving flat roof problems in Brookhaven since 2001. Every coastal storm, every harsh winter, every scorching summer – we’ve seen what works and what fails on Long Island roofs.
Our family-owned team knows exactly how salt air eats through inferior materials. We understand why drainage becomes critical when nor’easters dump inches of rain in hours. We’ve learned which installation techniques prevent the ponding water that destroys most flat roofs.
That’s why property owners across Suffolk County call us when they need flat roofing done right the first time. We’re not the cheapest option – we’re the one that saves you money by lasting decades instead of years.
First, we inspect your existing roof structure and drainage. Many flat roof failures start with poor drainage design, so we identify and fix these issues before installing new materials.
Next, we prepare the substrate. This means ensuring you have proper insulation, vapor barriers, and structural integrity. Shortcuts here cause expensive problems later, so we do this step thoroughly.
Then we install your chosen membrane system – whether TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen. Our factory-trained technicians use manufacturer-approved techniques that maintain your warranty coverage. We pay special attention to seams, penetrations, and drainage areas where most leaks develop.
Finally, we test everything. We flood-test drainage systems and inspect every seam before considering the job complete. You get documentation showing your roof was installed correctly, plus our guarantee that it will perform as promised.

Your flat roofing project includes everything needed for long-term performance. We handle TPO installations that resist UV damage and provide superior energy efficiency. Our EPDM systems offer proven durability in Long Island’s harsh climate conditions.
Modified bitumen applications give you multiple layers of protection with excellent puncture resistance. All systems include proper insulation, drainage improvements, and flashing details that prevent the leak points that plague most flat roofs.
Brookhaven’s coastal location creates unique challenges. Salt air accelerates metal corrosion while temperature swings stress roofing materials. Our local experience means we select materials and installation methods specifically designed for these conditions. You get roofing systems engineered to handle decades of Long Island weather without premature failure.
Properly installed flat roofs in Brookhaven typically last 20-30 years, with premium EPDM systems reaching 50+ years. The key is using materials designed for coastal conditions and installing them correctly.
Salt air from Long Island Sound accelerates deterioration of inferior materials. That’s why we specify marine-grade components and protective coatings that resist corrosion. Temperature swings from winter freezes to summer heat also stress roofing systems, so we use flexible membranes that expand and contract without cracking.
Your roof’s lifespan depends heavily on proper drainage and regular maintenance. Standing water destroys any roofing material within years, while well-drained roofs with annual inspections can exceed their expected lifespan significantly.
TPO offers superior energy efficiency with white reflective surfaces that reduce cooling costs by up to 30%. It’s welded at seams, creating fewer potential leak points than mechanically fastened systems. TPO works well for larger commercial buildings where energy savings matter most.
EPDM provides proven durability in Long Island’s harsh climate. This rubber membrane handles temperature extremes better than most alternatives and costs less upfront. EPDM repairs are also simpler and more cost-effective when damage occurs.
For Brookhaven properties, we typically recommend TPO for commercial buildings focused on energy efficiency and EPDM for residential applications where longevity and repair costs matter most. Both materials perform well when installed properly with adequate drainage.
Proper drainage starts with correct slope design – even “flat” roofs need 1/4 inch per foot minimum slope toward drains. We often install tapered insulation systems that create positive drainage across the entire roof surface.
Drain placement is critical. We position drains at the lowest points and ensure they’re sized for Long Island’s heavy rainfall events. Oversized drains and overflow scuppers prevent water backup during storms that dump several inches per hour.
Regular maintenance prevents most drainage failures. Leaves, debris, and sediment clog drains and create ponding areas. We recommend bi-annual cleanings and inspections to keep drainage systems functioning properly. Clogged drains void manufacturer warranties and cause premature roof failure.
Ponding water causes 60% of flat roof failures in our area. Long Island’s heavy rains overwhelm poorly designed drainage systems, creating standing water that penetrates any roofing material within months. Proper slope and drain sizing prevent this issue.
Salt air corrosion affects metal components like fasteners, copings, and flashing. We use marine-grade stainless steel and apply protective coatings to extend component life. Regular inspections catch corrosion before it causes leaks.
Thermal cycling from temperature swings stresses roofing materials. Inferior membranes crack when they expand and contract repeatedly. We specify flexible materials designed for temperature extremes and install them with proper expansion joints.
Flat roof replacement in Brookhaven typically costs $8-15 per square foot, depending on material choice, roof complexity, and access difficulty. EPDM systems start around $8-10 per square foot, while premium TPO installations range $12-15 per square foot.
Additional costs include structural repairs, insulation upgrades, and drainage improvements. Many older flat roofs need these enhancements to meet current building codes and performance standards. Skipping these upgrades saves money initially but creates expensive problems later.
Financing options make quality roofing affordable. We work with programs offering extended payment terms and low interest rates. Investing in proper flat roofing saves money long-term through reduced repairs, lower energy costs, and extended roof life.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency flat roof repair throughout Brookhaven and Suffolk County. Flat roof leaks can cause extensive interior damage within hours, so quick response is essential.
Our emergency service includes temporary weatherproofing to stop active leaks, followed by permanent repairs once conditions allow. We carry common flat roofing materials and can handle most emergency situations immediately rather than scheduling repairs for later.
Emergency repairs cost more than scheduled maintenance, but they prevent catastrophic interior damage. Water infiltration destroys insulation, damages electrical systems, and creates mold problems that cost thousands to remediate. Quick professional response minimizes these secondary damages.
