Flat roofs can be a lot more reasonable and convenient than the conventional pitched roof system. The best part is that the materials used for the roof build cost less, thereby saving you money that you can utilize for other housework or repairs. Re-coating flat roofs are also affordable because of the rubber or polymer materials used in the process.

Flat roof demonstrates higher energy efficiency because of its insulation, which is different from an ordinary household roof. So if you’re looking for an eco-friendly, energy-efficient roof, flat roofs are a great choice.

With flat roofs, you can get customize its appearance with a host of various additions and modifications to suit your style. Some homes with flat roofs are designed with “living roofs” (like outdoor dining or play area) or finished with rooftop gardens that are not only eco-friendly but also add a glamorous touch to your roof.

Another benefit of flat roofs is their durability. With proper maintenance and design, flat roofs can last in good condition for around thirty years. Compared to other roof methods, a well-made low slope roof can last for a long time.

In most cases, replacing the roof can be an expensive affair. So, most property owners try to increase the life of a damaged flat roof by continually repairing the surface. However, this option can ultimately cost more in the long run due to increased staff attention and damage caused to interiors and structural systems.

According to the NRCA/ARM, a manual roof replacement is advised when the roof has exceeded its service life and shows evidence of advanced deterioration like wet insulation, or various leaks of a serious nature seen in the roof membrane. Replacement, instead of restoring the old roof with a new membrane, is also essential when the existing roof membrane proves to be an improper substrate for a new roof covering.
