Flat roofing is what separates experienced contractors from general roofers. The materials are different, the installation methods are different, and the failure points are different. De Kalb Roofing & Maintenance has been installing flat roofs in De Kalb for 19 years. We know what works and what doesn't in MS's climate.
TPO is our most-installed flat roof membrane. White reflective surface reduces cooling costs, hot-air welded seams create a watertight bond stronger than the membrane itself, and manufacturer warranties run 15-20 years. We install 60-mil and 80-mil TPO, fully adhered or mechanically attached over polyiso insulation.
Our Flat Roofing Process
Flat Roof Inspection
We inspect the membrane surface, seam integrity, flashing condition, penetration seals, drain function, and overall drainage pattern. Core samples reveal whether the existing insulation is dry or waterlogged. Full findings provided in a written report.
Detailed Proposal
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.
Membrane Installation
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
Final roof inspection with drainage verification. Warranty paperwork provided. We recommend a maintenance plan to keep your flat roof performing and your warranty valid for its full term.
