A flat roof that ponds water is a flat roof with a problem. Standing water degrades membrane material, compresses insulation, and finds every weak point in the system. Lauderdale Roofing & Maintenance solves ponding with tapered insulation that creates positive drainage, minimum quarter-inch per foot slope to drains, scuppers, or roof edges.
Our Flat Roofing Process
Free Evaluation
We inspect the membrane surface, seam integrity, flashing condition, penetration seals, drain function, and overall drainage pattern. Core samples reveal whether the existing insulation is dry or waterlogged. Full findings provided in a written report.
Your Options
Your proposal includes membrane type, insulation R-value, drainage design, and warranty coverage. If multiple options make sense, we price all of them so you can compare and choose what fits your budget and goals.
Professional Installation
Flat roof installation requires specialized equipment and training. Our crew uses calibrated hot-air welders for TPO and PVC, torching equipment for modified bitumen, and proper adhesive systems for EPDM. Every seam, flashing, and penetration detail gets individual attention.
Warranty & Drainage Test
Your flat roof gets a completion package: installation documentation, warranty certificates, drainage verification, and maintenance recommendations. We stand behind every flat roof we install in Lauderdale.

About Our Lauderdale Flat Roofing Services
PVC membrane is the only flat roofing material that resists animal fats and chemical exposure from rooftop grease exhaust. If you own a restaurant or commercial kitchen in Lauderdale, PVC is the right choice. TPO and EPDM will deteriorate when exposed to kitchen grease venting.
Roof coatings can extend the life of an existing flat roof by 10-15 years for a fraction of replacement cost. Silicone coatings over TPO, EPDM, or metal work well when the existing membrane is still in decent condition. We core sample and moisture scan to make sure coating is the right call before recommending it.
