You know that sinking feeling when you spot water stains on your ceiling. Or when you’re up at night during a storm, wondering if your flat roof will hold up this time.
Here’s what changes when you work with real flat roofing specialists. No more emergency buckets during rainstorms. No more wondering if that “quick fix” from the last guy will actually stick. No more paying twice for the same problem because it wasn’t done right the first time.
Your flat roof becomes what it should be: a reliable barrier that protects your home and your peace of mind. You get back to using that space under your roof instead of worrying about it.
We’ve been solving flat roofing problems in Moriches and across Long Island for over 22 years. We’re the local family-owned company that actually shows up, does the work properly, and stands behind it.
We’ve seen what happens when flat roofs are installed by contractors who don’t understand Long Island’s coastal weather challenges. The pooling water, the failed seams, the leaks that start small and turn into major headaches. That’s exactly why we specialize in flat roofing systems that handle everything our climate throws at them.
When Moriches homeowners need flat roofing work done right the first time, they call us. Licensed, insured, and committed to quality that lasts.
First, we inspect your current roof situation thoroughly. Not just a quick look from the ground – we get up there and identify exactly what’s causing problems and what needs attention.
Next, we explain what we found in plain English. No technical jargon or scare tactics. Just honest assessment of your options, whether that’s targeted repairs or full replacement. We walk through material choices like TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen based on your specific needs and budget.
Then we get to work with proper installation techniques that actually prevent future problems. This means correct drainage, proper seam welding, and attention to those critical details around penetrations and edges where most leaks start. We clean up completely when we’re done and provide you with warranty protection on our work.

We install and repair all major flat roofing systems, but we focus on what works best in Moriches’ coastal environment. TPO roofing offers excellent energy efficiency with its white, reflective surface that helps reduce cooling costs during Long Island’s humid summers. EPDM rubber roofing provides proven durability and flexibility that handles our temperature swings without cracking.
For commercial applications or high-traffic areas, modified bitumen systems offer superior puncture resistance. We use molecular welding techniques for TPO and modified bitumen installations, creating seamless, waterproof barriers that last.
Every installation includes proper drainage design to prevent the standing water problems that destroy flat roofs in our area. We also handle all the critical flashing work around chimneys, vents, and roof edges – the spots where most flat roof leaks actually start. Our work comes with comprehensive warranties because we know it’s going to perform.
With proper installation and materials suited for Long Island’s climate, flat roofs typically last 15-30 years. TPO and EPDM systems often reach the higher end of that range when installed correctly.
The key is using quality materials and proper installation techniques that account for our coastal weather challenges. Poor drainage, inadequate seam welding, or cutting corners on flashing work can reduce lifespan significantly. That’s why we focus on getting the fundamentals right from day one.
Regular maintenance also plays a big role. Simple tasks like keeping drains clear and addressing minor issues before they become major problems can extend your roof’s life considerably.
Most flat roof leaks in our area come from incorrectly installed or missing flashing around penetrations and wall connections. This happens when contractors cut corners after installing the main roof membrane.
Standing water is another major culprit. When drainage systems get clogged or weren’t designed properly, water sits on the roof for days. Industry standard defines standing water as anything present for 24-48 hours – and it will permanently damage your roof and void manufacturer warranties.
Seam failures also cause problems, especially with EPDM systems that weren’t installed under proper conditions. Temperature, moisture levels, and prep work all affect adhesive bonding. That’s why we prefer heat-welded systems like TPO and modified bitumen for most applications.
The best choice depends on your specific situation, but here’s how we typically recommend each system. TPO works great for most residential flat roofs because it’s energy-efficient, durable, and uses heat welding for reliable seams. The white surface reflects heat, reducing cooling costs.
EPDM rubber roofing is excellent for smaller areas or situations where flexibility is important. It’s proven technology that can last 30+ years, but seam installation requires more precise conditions. We often recommend it for residential applications where the roof won’t see heavy traffic.
Modified bitumen systems handle foot traffic better and offer excellent puncture resistance. They’re ideal for commercial applications or residential roofs that need to support equipment. The multi-layer construction provides extra protection against damage.
Flat roof replacement costs vary significantly based on size, material choice, and complexity of the job. Simple residential projects with minimal penetrations typically range from $2.50-$8.00 per square foot, depending on the system chosen.
Factors that affect pricing include whether we need to remove existing layers, the number of penetrations and walls, accessibility, and warranty length desired. Projects requiring complete tear-off to the deck cost more than overlay applications, but sometimes that’s necessary for long-term performance.
We always provide detailed written estimates that break down exactly what’s included. No surprises or hidden costs. The investment in quality installation pays off through longer roof life and fewer repair calls down the road.
Yes, we provide emergency flat roof repair services for urgent leak situations. When you’re dealing with active water intrusion, quick response matters to prevent further damage to your home’s interior and structure.
Our emergency repairs focus on stopping the immediate problem while planning for proper permanent solutions. Sometimes that means temporary waterproofing measures to get you through a storm, followed by comprehensive repairs once conditions allow.
We also offer preventive maintenance programs that help avoid emergency situations. Regular inspections and minor maintenance work catch small problems before they turn into urgent leaks. It’s much more cost-effective than dealing with water damage and emergency repairs.
Regular maintenance is crucial for flat roof longevity. The most important task is keeping drainage systems clear of debris. Clogged drains cause standing water, which destroys roofing materials and voids warranties.
Inspect your roof at least twice yearly – spring and fall are ideal times. Look for signs of damage like cracks, blisters, or loose seams. Also check around all penetrations like vents, chimneys, and HVAC equipment where leaks commonly start.
Professional annual inspections catch problems you might miss and ensure warranty requirements are met. Many manufacturers require documented maintenance to honor warranty claims. We offer maintenance programs that include cleaning, minor repairs, and detailed condition reports to keep your roof performing optimally.
