FAQs
What types of flat roofing systems do you repair or replace in Englewood?
We service all of the most common flat-roof assemblies found in Englewood, including single-ply membranes such as TPO and PVC, EPDM rubber, modified bitumen (torch-down or self-adhered), built-up asphalt roofs, and newer fluid-applied coatings. Whether your property is a downtown commercial building or a residential patio roof, our technicians are trained to diagnose and repair each material according to the manufacturer’s specifications and local code.
How can I tell if my flat roof needs repair or full replacement?
Typical warning signs include standing water that remains longer than 48 hours, blistering or cracking of the membrane, loose flashing around rooftop equipment, interior water stains, and high cooling bills caused by lost reflectivity. If the damage is confined to one section and the membrane is under 15 years old, a targeted repair is usually sufficient. Roofs that show widespread seam failure, saturated insulation, or are pushing the end of their service life (15–25 years, depending on material) are better candidates for a full re-cover or replacement. We offer free infrared scans and core tests to confirm the extent of moisture before recommending a solution.
What does flat roof repair typically cost in Englewood?
Pricing depends on roof size, accessibility, membrane type, and the extent of damage. Minor patch and seal jobs start around $450–$750. Mid-level repairs involving new flashing or replacing wet insulation run $5–$9 per square foot. A full tear-off and replacement with a 60-mil TPO system generally ranges from $9 to $14 per square foot in the Englewood market. We provide a detailed, line-item estimate after our on-site inspection so you know exactly where every dollar is going.
How long will a flat roof repair take and will I need a permit?
Most small repairs are finished in one day, with minimal disruption to occupants. Larger sectional repairs may take 2–3 days, and a complete replacement averages 3–7 working days, weather permitting. Englewood requires a roofing permit for any job that involves more than 100 square feet of new membrane or the replacement of structural decking. We handle all permitting, schedule the city inspection, and ensure the project complies with Englewood’s building and energy codes.
Are there energy-efficient or hail-resistant options for flat roofs in the Englewood climate?
Absolutely. White TPO and PVC membranes meet Cool Roof standards and can reduce summer cooling costs by up to 30% thanks to their high reflectivity. For hail protection, we recommend 90-mil EPDM or Class 4 impact-rated modified bitumen systems paired with coverboard to absorb impact. Fluid-applied silicone coatings can also add UV resistance and extend the life of an existing roof for 10–15 years at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
Do you offer emergency leak service and what should I do until help arrives?
Yes. Our emergency response crew is on call 24/7 throughout Englewood and the south-metro area. If you notice active water intrusion, place a bucket or tarp to catch drips and photograph the damage for insurance records. Avoid walking on a wet roof—membranes become slippery and hazardous. Call us immediately; we’ll dispatch a technician who can locate the breach, perform a temporary watertight seal, and return when conditions are dry to complete permanent repairs.
