Flat roofs need a different kind of attention here

Flat and low-slope roofs are everywhere across the GTA, on strip plazas in Vaughan, additions on older Toronto homes, and warehouses tucked into Durham's industrial parks. They don't shed water the way a pitched roof does, so drainage and membrane detail work matter enormously in our climate.

Ponding water after spring melt

Flat roofs can collect standing water once heavy snow starts melting, and if drainage slopes aren't right, that water sits and works its way into seams.

Membrane systems suited to the job

We work with TPO, EPDM and modified bitumen systems, each chosen for the building's use, traffic, and exposure.

Commercial rooftop equipment

HVAC units, vents and rooftop equipment all need proper flashing and curb details, which is often where flat roofs actually fail.

Ontario snow load rules

We install and repair with an eye on snow accumulation, especially on additions and lower rooflines that catch drift off adjacent structures.

Flat roofs need a different kind of attention here
The problem

Flat roofs hide leaks until they're serious

Because there's no slope to reveal a failing shingle, a flat roof problem often shows up as a ceiling stain well after the membrane has actually failed. By then water may have travelled sideways under the surface, making the real source harder to pin down.

Our solution

We trace it to the source and fix it right

We inspect seams, flashing, drains and membrane condition systematically rather than patching the spot under the stain. That means the repair addresses what's actually failing, not just the symptom you happened to notice.

Flat & commercial roofing questions

What membrane types do you install?

We work with TPO, EPDM and modified bitumen, chosen based on your building's use, traffic and budget.

Can you repair a small section without replacing the whole roof?

Often yes, provided the membrane and insulation underneath are still in reasonable shape. Our inspection will tell us that.

Do you handle commercial properties as well as residential additions?

Yes, we work on both, from plaza rooftops to flat-roofed additions on GTA homes.

How does Ontario snow affect flat roofs?

Snow load and spring melt both put stress on flat roofs, particularly around drains, so we pay close attention to slope and drainage capacity.

How do I request a quote for a commercial building?

Email us with your building's address and details, and we'll arrange a site visit.
