Whether it's a residential flat section over a room addition, a garage with a flat top, or a full commercial building, Arcata Roofing & Maintenance handles flat roofing in Arcata with the same attention to detail. TPO for reflectivity, EPDM for budget, PVC for chemical resistance, modified bitumen for foot traffic.
Modified bitumen is our recommendation for residential flat roofs and high-traffic commercial applications. Two-ply torch-applied SBS system with a granulated cap sheet handles foot traffic, thermal cycling, and CA UV exposure. It's the toughest flat roof membrane for everyday abuse.
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
Based on inspection findings, we recommend the right solution: targeted repair, a coating system, or full replacement. Each option is priced with material specs, warranty terms, and expected lifespan.
Expert Flat Roof Crew
Insulation board cut and installed with staggered joints. Membrane installed over insulation per manufacturer specs. All penetrations (pipes, vents, HVAC curbs) receive custom-fabricated flashing. Drains and scuppers cleared and properly connected to the new membrane system.
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 Arcata.
