Flat Roofing
As its name suggests, a flat roof is a roofing system that is flat, and without any slopes. These roofs are commonly used for large commercial properties as they are durable, cost-effective, and help to save space to make room for equipment and other business needs.
Conversely, there are also advantages of installing a flat roof for your modern home. They boast a sleek aesthetic and offer space-saving abilities. When used for a home, flat roofing systems act as a statement. In some cases, with the right foundation and access, homeowners can even use their flat roof as a rooftop terrace or garden depending on a homeowner’s preferences and lifestyle.
The best material for your flat roof depends on various factors (your budget, square footage, timeline, etc.). Generally speaking, it will be durable and long-lasting to maintain the structural integrity of your system.
Work with Metro Roofing to identify the best material for your roof. We work with you to determine what will best suit your home or business.
Flat roofs are known for being one of the longest-lasting roofing systems as they are typically made of and treated with durable materials that are resistant to environmental factors. They are typically sealed and waterproofed to reduce the chances of leaking or any other damage.
Flat roofs can last anywhere between 10 to 20 years, but the lifespan of your roof will ultimately be determined by how well you maintain it and the way it was installed. It’s imperative to get your system installed by a professional flat roofing company like Metro Roofing that is experienced and utilizes high-quality materials.
If you require flat roof installation, be sure to enlist the help of a professional flat roofing contractor — this is not a DIY project.
A professional will install your roof correctly, and ensure it is sealed and not susceptible to leaks, cracks, or environmental damage. Installation requires the use of professional materials to adequately seal the roof and safety gear to operate on top of the system.
A roof membrane is a flat roofing system that creates a watertight seal over the surface. It protects a structure from moisture and other environmental factors. This type of system is often made from modified bitumen, synthetic rubber, or thermoplastic.
To repair a flat roof, you need to identify the source of the problem (a leak, hole, crack, etc.) and patch the affected area effectively to prevent further damage. It is worth mentioning that, if the damage is severe enough, you may require replacement to avoid compromising the integrity of the system.
Metro Roofing provides professional flat roof repair services, including emergency repair, to ensure that your system is durable, functional, and resistant.
Flat roof costs are dependent on the size and type of your property, as well as your preferred roofing treatment. Call Metro Roofing or leave us a message to get a personalized free estimate for your flat roofing system.
Shingle Roof Repair
Shingles can be made of a variety of materials, but asphalt remains the most popular shingle material due to its affordability, durability, and versatility. Other materials used by roofing contractors include metal shingles and cedar shingles.
The right shingle for you depends on your budget, personal preference, and the overall size of your space, as some shingles are easier to apply to larger surfaces than others.
After a heavy wind, it’s common for shingles to blow off — especially when they are not made of quality materials or properly installed.
Roofing is not an area where you should be taking a DIY approach. If you suspect that your shingles have blown off following a windstorm or heavy wind, enlist the help of a professional to inspect your roof and identify if there is a problem.
The professional roofing contractors at Metro Roofing will replace your shingles with new ones, and ensure that your current shingles still adhere to the surface.
It’s important to spot the warning signs that you require roof repair before you need a full roof replacement.
If your roof problems go unnoticed, you risk the problems getting worse. Signs that it’s time to repair your shingle roof include:
- Water dripping from the ceiling
- Watermarks on walls or a ceiling
Between weather damage and animals claiming your roof as their home, there are various ways that your roof or shingles can be damaged. Factors that can cause your shingles to curl, crack, leak, and more, include:
- Weather conditions (heavy rain, snowfall, heavy winds, etc.)
- Animal burrowing or chipping
- Rusting
- Deterioration or corrosion
- Fallen trees or branches
The cost of your shingle roof repair or installation is dependent on your property size and type, the timeline, and the materials you choose. Leave us a message or contact us to get a free estimate for your roofing services.
