Flat roofs don't drain like sloped roofs. Water sits instead of running off. That fundamental difference means flat roofing requires specialized materials, installation methods, and drainage solutions. Brooklyn Roofing & Maintenance installs and repairs TPO, PVC, EPDM, and modified bitumen flat roofing systems throughout Brooklyn.
Our Flat Roofing Process
Free Evaluation
Before recommending repair, coating, or replacement, we inspect the entire flat roof system. Membrane condition, insulation integrity, and drainage patterns all factor into our recommendation.
Detailed Proposal
We present options, not ultimatums. If a repair extends your flat roof 5-10 years, that might be the smartest investment right now. If the insulation is waterlogged and the membrane is failing, replacement is the answer. We lay out the facts.
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.
Completion & Warranty
Final roof inspection with drainage verification. Warranty paperwork provided. We recommend a maintenance plan to keep your flat roof performing and your warranty valid for its full term.

Why Choose Brooklyn Roofing & Maintenance for Flat Roofing?
Drainage Solutions
We solve ponding water with tapered insulation systems. Minimum quarter-inch per foot slope to drains or edges. Ponding is the number one flat roof killer. We eliminate it.
15+ Years Flat Roof Experience
Brooklyn Roofing & Maintenance has been installing and repairing flat roofs in Brooklyn for 15 years. Residential flat sections, commercial buildings, and everything in between.
Electronic Leak Detection
We use electronic testing to pinpoint flat roof leaks without destructive investigation. Find the source, fix the source, move on.
Core Sampling & Testing
Before recommending replacement or coating, we core sample the roof to check insulation moisture. Waterlogged insulation means tear-off. Dry insulation means options.
About Our Brooklyn Flat Roofing Services
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 CT UV exposure. It's the toughest flat roof membrane for everyday abuse.
Every flat roof Brooklyn Roofing & Maintenance installs includes proper drainage design. Tapered insulation, cricket saddles around rooftop equipment, and properly sized drains or scuppers ensure water moves off the roof, not into your building. Ponding water voids many manufacturer warranties. We eliminate it.
