Service · A1 Chimney & Roofing
Flat roof systems are low-slope roofs covered with a membrane rather than shingles. Water moves slowly, so the seams, the drains, and the flashings at walls do the work that slope does on a shingle roof.

The work
The membrane may be modified bitumen, a single-ply sheet, or a built-up roof. A repair welds or seals the failed seam, replaces a flashing at a wall, or fixes a drain that ponds. A coating is only an option when the membrane underneath is still sound. A roof that is cracked across the field is a replacement.
That coating question is roof coating. A shingle slope is asphalt shingle roofing.
Why it matters
Ponding water finds the seam. A flat roof does not forgive an open lap the way a steep shingle roof sometimes does. The repair closes the lap. It does not promise the roof will never hold a puddle if the structure slopes that way.
Added drains or tapered insulation are discussed only if the deck actually calls for them.
What to expect
The membrane is inspected, repair, coating, or replacement is explained with the price, and the work starts after you approve it.
