Flat Roofing Services in Wasaga Beach

Why Flat Roofs Need Different Care

Flat roofs don't shed water like pitched roofs do. They rely on membrane integrity and proper drainage. A tiny crack or seam failure can pool water, and pooling water finds every weakness. We see it all the time in Wasaga Beach - a small blister turns into a ceiling stain in one heavy rain.

That's why we focus on the details. Flashing around vents and edges. Seam welding on TPO. Proper slope so water moves to drains. Most flat roof problems aren't the membrane itself - they're installation shortcuts. We don't take shortcuts.

Whether you've got a garage, a low-slope addition, or a full flat roof on your home, we'll match the right system to your building. Roof Repair calls teach us what fails first, so we build to avoid those weak points from day one.

TPO, EPDM, and Modified Bitumen Explained

TPO is white, heat-welded, and reflects summer sun like crazy. It's our most popular choice for new installs because it stays cool and the seams are stronger than the sheet itself. EPDM is black rubber - tougher against punctures, easier to patch, been around forever. Modified bitumen is torch-down or self-adhering, great for small areas or complex shapes.

We'll walk you through what makes sense for your roof. Budget matters, but so does what's under the membrane. If your decking is solid plywood, TPO works beautifully. If you've got an older tar-and-gravel situation, we might recommend a different approach. No upselling - just honest advice based on what we see when we're up there.

Most homes around Collingwood and Wasaga Beach use EPDM or TPO. Both last 20+ years if installed right. We warranty our work because we know how we install it.

Repair vs. Replacement - How We Decide

If your flat roof is under 12 years old and the leak is localized, repair usually makes sense. We cut out the bad section, prep the surface, and patch with matching material. Heat-welded seams on TPO, adhesive and roller on EPDM. You're back to watertight in a day.

But if we're finding multiple soft spots, widespread cracking, or the membrane is just old and brittle, patching becomes a band-aid. We'll tell you straight up if is the smarter move. A full tear-off and new install costs more now, but it buys you two decades of no worries.

We also handle partial replacements - maybe one section failed early or took storm damage. We tie new membrane into old using proper overlap and sealing techniques. It's not our favorite scenario, but sometimes it's the right call for your budget and timeline.

What to Expect During Installation

We start by tearing off the old membrane down to the deck. Then we inspect every inch of sheathing - any rot or soft spots get replaced before we go further. Insulation goes down if your roof needs it (and most do for energy codes). Then we roll out the membrane, fasten or adhere it, and seal every seam and penetration.

TPO seams get welded with a hot-air gun - you'll see us running what looks like a hair dryer along every joint. EPDM gets bonded with contact adhesive or tape, then rolled flat. Flashing around pipes, vents, and edges is custom-fit metal or membrane wraps. We don't use generic boots or pre-fab corners.

Most single-garage or small flat roofs take one day. Larger areas might stretch to two. We clean up completely - no fasteners in your driveway, no membrane scraps in the garden. You'll have photos of the finished install and a written warranty before we leave.
