Los Angeles Flat Roofing Specialists
Standard roofing contractors learn on sloped shingle roofs. Flat systems work differently - different materials, different installation techniques, different failure points. Hiring a general roofer for flat work often ends in callbacks, leaks, and frustration.
Our crews specialize in low-slope and flat roof systems. We install TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing daily - not as sideline work, but as our primary focus throughout Los Angeles.
"We had three different companies try to fix our flat garage roof over the years. These guys finally got it right and it's been dry for four winters straight."

What Does Flat Roofing Cost in Los Angeles?
Flat roof costs vary by system type, roof condition, and project complexity. As a general range for Los Angeles: TPO and EPDM typically run $6-11 per square foot installed. Modified bitumen falls in a similar range. Built-up and PVC systems often cost $8-14 per square foot. A 2,000 square foot commercial flat roof might range from $12,000 to $28,000 depending on tear-off requirements, insulation needs, and which membrane system you choose. Residential flat roof sections (garage roofs, additions) often have minimums due to setup costs. We provide detailed estimates breaking out every cost component. You'll know exactly what you're paying for before we start.

Flat Roofs Demand Different Expertise
Sloped roofs shed water by gravity. Flat roofs have to fight for it. Every seam, every penetration, every parapet intersection becomes a potential entry point when rainwater has nowhere obvious to go. That's why flat roof work requires specialists - not roofers who dabble in flat systems between shingle jobs.
We focus heavily on flat and low-slope roofing throughout Los Angeles. Commercial buildings, residential additions, garage roofs, modern architectural designs - the applications vary, but the fundamentals stay the same: proper drainage, sealed penetrations, and membrane systems matched to the building's specific demands.
Flat Roof Systems We Install and Repair
- TPO - Heat-welded seams, excellent reflectivity, strong chemical resistance
- EPDM Rubber - Proven durability, lower cost, handles foot traffic well
- Modified Bitumen - Traditional reliability with modern improvements
- Built-Up Roofing (BUR) - Multiple layers for heavy-duty commercial applications
- PVC - Chemical resistant, ideal for restaurants and facilities with rooftop grease
The Drainage Question
Flat roofs aren't actually flat - or at least they shouldn't be. Proper design includes slight slopes toward drains or scuppers. When we see ponding water that lasts more than 48 hours after rain, we investigate why and fix the underlying problem rather than just patch the membrane.
Standing water doesn't just stress your membrane - it attracts mosquitoes and accelerates deterioration.
