Flat Roofs
Although flat roofs or built up roofs are more commonly found in commercial building than in homes, they are well suited to residential structures. Flat roofing is installed by using layers of hot tar and roofing felt alternately and then covering this with a layer of gravel. Layers of fiberglass based asphalt sheeting and hot bitumen may also be used in flat roof installation. Flat roofing is also known as tar or gravel roofing because of the gravel layering that they have which helps minimize damage from the sun. Our Indianapolis, IN area specialist roofing contractors bring years of experience in flat roofing industry and are prepared to help you resolve all kinds of roofing issues, including those relating to roofing estimate.
One of the advantages of flat roofing is that it does not require any heavy duty maintenance, which minimizes up keep costs. Typically, flat roofs come with warranties of 12 years, but most flat roofs will need to be replaced once their durability ends. One of the drawbacks of flat roofs is that it tends to leak as soon as it is punctured. One way this can be avoided is to use paving stones to protect the roofing membrane. To avoid collection of water after the rains, a flat roof contractor will install drains at the edges of the roof.

We have a 30+ year-old home, split-level ranch with asphalt shingles. We have a series of indoor leaks that correspond roughly to the split between levels. From above, there is no flashing at the split, there are a number of missing shingles and there is some rot. We have an insurance claim filed for repair of the effected areas, but we would also like to get estimates on full roof replacement including the possibility of metal roofing.
