You’re tired of the same leak showing up every heavy rain. You’ve patched, sealed, and crossed your fingers too many times. That stops now.
When your flat roof is properly installed or repaired, you get back to focusing on what matters. No more buckets in the hallway. No more wondering if the next storm will cause thousands in water damage. No more emergency calls to roofers who treat symptoms instead of causes.
Real flat roofing work means understanding the unique challenges of low-slope systems. It means using the right materials for your specific situation and installing them correctly the first time. You get years of protection, not months of hope.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been solving roofing problems for Westhampton property owners who need more than quick fixes. We specialize in flat and low-slope roofing systems because they require different expertise than traditional pitched roofs.
Most roofers treat flat roofs like an afterthought. We treat them like the specialized systems they are. Whether you’re dealing with a commercial building that needs TPO installation or a residential flat roof that needs EPDM repair, we understand the materials, the installation requirements, and the local weather challenges.
Westhampton’s coastal location means your roof faces salt air, high winds, and temperature swings that can destroy poorly installed systems. We’ve seen what works here and what doesn’t.
First, we inspect your entire roof system, not just the obvious problem areas. Most flat roof failures start small and spread, so we use leak detection methods that find issues before they become disasters.
Next, we explain exactly what’s wrong and why. You’ll understand whether you need targeted repairs, coating renewal, or full replacement. We don’t oversell, and we don’t patch problems that need real solutions.
Then we handle the work using materials designed for your specific roof type and local conditions. TPO for energy efficiency, EPDM for durability, or modified bitumen for high-traffic areas. Each system gets installed according to manufacturer specifications, not shortcuts.
Finally, we clean up completely and walk you through what we’ve done. You’ll know how to maintain your investment and when to call us for routine inspections.

We provide comprehensive flat roofing solutions designed for Long Island’s challenging climate. Our services include TPO installation for energy-efficient commercial buildings, EPDM rubber roofing for long-term residential protection, and modified bitumen systems for high-durability applications.
We handle leak detection using advanced methods that locate problems other contractors miss. Our waterproofing and coating services extend roof life significantly when applied correctly. Emergency repairs are available because roof leaks don’t wait for business hours.
Westhampton’s coastal environment requires specific material choices and installation techniques. Salt air accelerates deterioration, wind-driven rain finds every weakness, and temperature cycling stresses seams and fasteners. We select materials and methods that handle these local challenges, giving you protection that lasts years longer than generic approaches.
A properly installed flat roof in Westhampton should last 15-25 years depending on the material and maintenance. TPO systems typically provide 20-25 years of service life with proper installation and routine maintenance. EPDM rubber roofs often last 20+ years and handle Long Island’s temperature swings well.
The key is professional installation and regular inspections. Westhampton’s coastal location means salt air and high winds can accelerate wear on poorly installed systems. Quality materials installed correctly with proper drainage will significantly outlast cheap materials or poor workmanship.
Most flat roof failures happen within the first few years due to installation problems, not material defects. That’s why choosing experienced flat roof contractors matters more than choosing the cheapest bid.
TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is a white, reflective membrane that reduces cooling costs by reflecting heat. It’s heat-welded at seams, creating strong, permanent bonds. TPO works well for commercial buildings where energy efficiency matters and foot traffic is minimal.
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) is a black rubber membrane that’s extremely durable and flexible. It handles temperature changes better and resists punctures well. EPDM is often better for residential applications or areas with moderate foot traffic.
Both materials work well in Westhampton’s climate, but the choice depends on your building’s specific needs. Commercial buildings often benefit from TPO’s energy savings, while residential flat roofs may get better long-term value from EPDM’s durability and lower maintenance requirements.
Professional leak detection starts with understanding how water moves on flat roofs. Water doesn’t always enter where you see interior damage because it can travel along the roof deck before finding a way inside.
We use visual inspection combined with moisture detection equipment to trace water paths. This includes checking all penetrations, seams, and drainage areas systematically. We also look for ponding water areas that create long-term problems even when they’re not currently leaking.
The key is finding the actual source, not just the symptoms. Many contractors patch where they see obvious damage without addressing the real entry point. That’s why the same leak keeps coming back after repairs. Proper detection takes time but saves money by fixing the right problem the first time.
The decision depends on your roof’s age, condition, and the extent of problems. If your roof is under 10 years old with localized damage, targeted repairs usually make sense. If you’re dealing with multiple leaks, extensive membrane damage, or a roof over 15 years old, replacement often provides better long-term value.
Consider the total cost of ownership, not just upfront expense. Repeatedly repairing an aging roof system often costs more than replacement when you factor in ongoing maintenance, energy losses, and potential water damage.
We’ll assess your specific situation honestly. Sometimes a roof that looks terrible can be economically repaired. Other times, a roof that seems okay needs replacement to avoid major problems. The key is getting an evaluation from contractors who understand flat roof systems and won’t oversell unnecessary work.
Flat roof replacement costs in Westhampton typically range from $8-15 per square foot depending on the material, roof complexity, and access requirements. TPO systems generally cost less upfront but provide excellent long-term value. EPDM costs slightly more but offers superior durability for many applications.
The total project cost depends on factors like roof size, existing roof removal requirements, insulation upgrades, and drainage improvements. Commercial projects often have different requirements than residential work, affecting both materials and labor costs.
We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs clearly. Beware of quotes that seem too good to be true – they usually are. Quality flat roofing requires proper materials and skilled installation. Cutting corners on either creates expensive problems later that cost far more than doing it right initially.
Yes, we provide emergency flat roof repair services for Westhampton property owners dealing with active leaks or storm damage. Flat roof emergencies can cause significant water damage quickly, so fast response matters.
Emergency repairs focus on stopping immediate water intrusion and protecting your property until permanent repairs can be completed. This might involve temporary patching, tarping, or sealing depending on the damage type and weather conditions.
We’re available for true emergencies, but we also help you avoid them through regular maintenance and inspections. Most flat roof emergencies develop from small problems that weren’t addressed promptly. Catching issues early through routine inspections prevent most emergency situations and saves significant money compared to emergency repairs and water damage restoration.
