Flat roofs don't drain like sloped roofs. Water sits instead of running off. That fundamental difference means flat roofing requires specialized materials, installation methods, and drainage solutions. Richmond Roofing & Maintenance installs and repairs TPO, PVC, EPDM, and modified bitumen flat roofing systems throughout Richmond.
Our Flat Roofing Process
Membrane Assessment
Before recommending repair, coating, or replacement, we inspect the entire flat roof system. Membrane condition, insulation integrity, and drainage patterns all factor into our recommendation.
Your Options
Based on inspection findings, we recommend the right solution: targeted repair, a coating system, or full replacement. Each option is priced with material specs, warranty terms, and expected lifespan.
Expert Flat Roof Crew
Insulation board cut and installed with staggered joints. Membrane installed over insulation per manufacturer specs. All penetrations (pipes, vents, HVAC curbs) receive custom-fabricated flashing. Drains and scuppers cleared and properly connected to the new membrane system.
Completion & Warranty
Your flat roof gets a completion package: installation documentation, warranty certificates, drainage verification, and maintenance recommendations. We stand behind every flat roof we install in Richmond.

Why Choose Richmond Roofing & Maintenance for Flat Roofing?
Specialized Flat Roof Crew
Flat roofing requires different skills and equipment than sloped roofing. Our flat roof crew does this work every week, hot-air welders, torch kits, and adhesive systems are their daily tools.
All Flat Roof Systems
TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, built-up roofing, and coatings. We install the right system for your building, not whatever we have on the truck.
Drainage Solutions
We solve ponding water with tapered insulation systems. Minimum quarter-inch per foot slope to drains or edges. Ponding is the number one flat roof killer. We eliminate it.
Maintenance Programs
Semi-annual flat roof inspections keep your warranty valid and catch problems early. Drain clearing, seam checks, and flashing inspection, all documented.
About Our Richmond Flat Roofing Services
Modified bitumen is our recommendation for residential flat roofs and high-traffic commercial applications. Two-ply torch-applied SBS system with a granulated cap sheet handles foot traffic, thermal cycling, and IL UV exposure. It's the toughest flat roof membrane for everyday abuse.
Flat roof leaks usually happen at penetrations, seams, or flashing details, not in the middle of the membrane. We locate the source with electronic leak detection or flood testing, repair it properly, and address the root cause. If the membrane is shot, we recommend replacement, not a band-aid.
