PVC & flat roofing—watertight, reflective, built for low-slope.
Precision repairs and replacements for homes, multifamily, and light commercial.
Our low-slope team installs code-compliant single-ply systems with clean details, positive drainage, and long-term performance.
Why homeowners & owners choose PVC
- Heat-welded seams — welded seams create a monolithic bond with excellent seam strength compared to taped seams. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
- Reflective “cool roof” options — light/reflective membranes can run 50°F+ cooler than dark roofs in summer, helping reduce heat gain. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
- Chemical & grease resistance — PVC is a good fit near kitchens or restaurants where animal fats/grease are present. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
- Versatile installation — ballasted, mechanically attached, or fully adhered systems to suit the deck and project. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Flat roof basics (low-slope)
Low-slope roofs are designed to drain—new construction commonly targets a minimum 1/4" per foot slope for single-ply membranes; on re-roofs, codes focus on achieving positive drainage. Tapered insulation is often used to move water to drains and scuppers. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
PVC & flat roofing systems
-
PVC single-ply — durable, reflective, heat-welded seams; widely used on homes, multifamily and light commercial. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
-
TPO single-ply — reflective thermoplastic alternative for some low-slope applications.
-
Modified bitumen — time-tested multi-ply options for low-slope roofs.
-
Coatings & maintenance — extend service life when substrates are in suitable condition.
Smart details that add years
- Drainage first — tapered insulation plans target positive drainage and help avoid ponding that accelerates wear. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
- Walkway protection — welded PVC walkway pads create safer service paths and help protect membranes near rooftop equipment. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
- Attachment that fits — fully adhered, mechanically attached, or ballasted per deck, exposure, and warranty requirements. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

PVC & Flat Roofing FAQ
How is PVC different from other membranes?
PVC uses heat-welded seams to form a watertight bond; assemblies can be mechanically attached, adhered, or ballasted depending on the project. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
Do white PVC roofs help with heat?
Yes—reflective “cool roofs” can stay 50°F+ cooler than conventional dark roofs under summer sun, reducing heat transfer into the building. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
What about foot traffic around equipment?
We add welded PVC walkway pads to create safe service paths and help protect the membrane near units and ladders. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
My flat roof holds water—can that be fixed?
Often, yes. Tapered insulation layouts are designed to create positive drainage toward drains or scuppers and help avoid ponding. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
