Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between TPO and EPDM?
TPO is a single-ply thermoplastic membrane that's heat-welded at the seams, offering excellent energy efficiency with its white reflective surface. EPDM is a rubber membrane that's been used successfully for decades. We'll recommend the best option for your specific situation.
How do you handle drainage on flat roofs?
Proper drainage is critical. We install tapered insulation systems to create positive drainage toward roof drains or scuppers, preventing ponding water that can damage the membrane.
Can you fix an improperly installed flat roof?
Yes, we frequently correct problems caused by improper previous installations. We'll assess the damage and provide options for repair or complete replacement.
