Commercial buildings, garages, additions, and low-slope roofs throughout Hebron need different solutions than standard residential shingles. Great American Roofing handles flat roofing the right way.
Flat and low-slope roofs require completely different materials and installation techniques than pitched shingle roofs. Standard roofing crews that primarily do residential shingles often don't have the expertise to properly spec and install a flat roofing system — and the consequences of a poorly installed flat roof are usually worse than a failed shingle roof, because water has nowhere to run off.
Great American Roofing handles flat and low-slope roofing for commercial buildings, residential additions, garages, and mixed-use properties throughout Boone County. We recommend the right system for each application — not just whatever material we happen to stock.
The most popular modern flat roofing system. Heat-welded seams, excellent UV resistance, and good performance in Kentucky's temperature range. Typically the right choice for commercial buildings.
Durable, cost-effective, and proven over decades. EPDM holds up well in Northern Kentucky's freeze-thaw cycles and is a solid choice for residential additions and garages.
Multi-layer system that performs well on low-slope residential roofs. Provides excellent waterproofing and is more forgiving of minor ponding than single-ply systems.
Flat roofs fail most often at drains and at areas where water ponds. Every flat roof assessment includes a drainage analysis and ponding evaluation before any recommendation is made.
It depends on the age and overall condition of the membrane. A roof that's 5–10 years old with an isolated leak is usually a repair candidate. A 15–20 year old roof with multiple issues is often better replaced — piecemeal repairs on aged membrane become money pits.
TPO and EPDM properly installed typically last 20–30 years. Modified bitumen runs 15–25 years. The single biggest factor is proper installation and drainage — not just material choice.
