FAQs
What types of flat-roof systems do you install in Tazewell?
We specialize in the three most proven membrane systems for this climate: EPDM (rubber), TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin), and modified bitumen. EPDM is valued for its long life and flexibility in freeze-thaw cycles; TPO offers a highly reflective white surface that lowers cooling costs; modified bitumen provides multi-ply redundancy and exceptional puncture resistance. During your consultation we evaluate your building’s use, roof deck, and budget before recommending the best membrane, insulation, and edge details.
How do I know if my existing flat roof needs repair or full replacement?
Warning signs include ponding water that remains more than 48 hours after rain, membrane blisters or cracks, interior leaks or staining, and visible seam separation. If the current roof is over 15–20 years old, repairs may only delay the inevitable. We provide a no-obligation infrared moisture scan and core sampling to determine how saturated the insulation is and whether a cost-effective re-cover, section repair, or full tear-off is the right approach.
What are the energy-efficiency benefits of modern flat-roof materials?
White TPO and cool-roof modified bitumen reflect up to 85 % of solar heat, lowering summertime HVAC demand by 10–30 % in Tazewell’s warm, humid summers. When combined with high-R polyisocyanurate insulation, a new roof can meet or exceed current IECC standards, cutting heat loss in winter as well. We can also integrate tapered insulation to improve drainage while maintaining thermal performance.
How long does a typical flat-roof installation or replacement take?
Most residential flat roofs (1,000–3,000 sq ft) are completed in two to four days, including tear-off, deck inspection, insulation, membrane, flashing, and cleanup. Small commercial roofs up to 10,000 sq ft generally require one to two weeks, depending on weather and the number of roof penetrations. We stage materials in advance and use rain-tight daily tie-offs so your building stays protected throughout the project.
What maintenance does a flat-roof system require, and do you offer service plans?
All flat roofs should be inspected at least twice a year—spring and fall in Tazewell—plus after major storms. Routine maintenance includes clearing debris from drains, resealing pitch pans, checking edge metal, and looking for punctures from foot traffic. We offer tiered RoofCare plans that bundle semi-annual inspections, minor on-the-spot repairs, drain cleaning, and detailed photo reports so you stay ahead of leaks and preserve your warranty.
Do your flat-roof installations come with warranties or guarantees?
Yes. Manufacturer warranties range from 15 to 30 years based on membrane thickness and insulation package, and cover material defects and, in many cases, labor. We are factory-certified by leading brands (Carlisle, Firestone, GAF) so you receive a true NDL (No Dollar Limit) warranty when eligible. In addition, Roofing Done Right provides a 5-year workmanship guarantee that covers our flashing, seams, and tie-ins—double the industry norm for peace of mind.
