Accredited and A+
Flat and low-slope roofing is a specialty. Most residential roofing contractors can handle a shingle replacement, but far fewer have the training, certifications, and hands-on experience to properly install and service a membrane system.
Our team at AC Matthews Roofing & Exteriors has been installing and servicing flat roofing systems on commercial buildings and homes throughout Frederick for over 20 years, and we bring the same standard of workmanship to every project.
Flat Roofing Systems We Install in Frederick
There’s no single flat roofing system that’s right for every application. The membrane we recommend depends on your roof’s drainage, design, slope, and what you already have installed. Here’s what we work with.
What Goes Wrong With Flat Roofs in Frederick
Frederick’s climate is particularly hard on flat roofing systems. Hot, humid summers stress membrane seams and cause surface blistering, while freeze-thaw cycles through winter work seams open and cause water infiltration. Add in the 40-plus inches of annual rainfall our area sees each year, and standing water becomes a persistent threat to any flat roof.
By the time an active leak appears inside, the underlying membrane has usually been compromised for some time. That’s why a professional inspection is the most important step you can take when something doesn’t look right, and why we approach every flat roof assessment with the same thoroughness we bring to full replacements.
How Long Should a Flat Roof Last in Frederick?
A properly installed TPO or EPDM membrane should give you 20 to 30 years of reliable performance. Modified bitumen runs 15 to 20. Those numbers assume the drainage is working, the installation was done correctly, and the roof has been maintained. When one of those factors is missing, the lifespan shortens accordingly.
If you’re unsure where your flat roof stands, we’ll inspect the full membrane surface, every seam, and all penetrations and give you a written assessment. You’ll know exactly what you’re working with before any decision is made.
