Low-slope and flat roofs need different materials and different know-how than a standard shingle roof. Shingles are designed to shed water down a steep pitch; on a flat or nearly flat surface, water sits longer, so you need a continuous membrane that keeps it out. Absolute Building Services LLC installs and repairs TPO and EPDM flat roofing systems across Richmond, Chesterfield, Henrico, Midlothian, Powhatan, and Amelia.
Flat and low-slope roofs are common on porches, sunrooms, additions, garages, carports, dormers, and many city rowhomes, as well as on small commercial buildings. They are also one of the most common sources of leaks we see, usually at seams, edges, drains, and where the flat roof meets a wall or a steeper roof section.

TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is a single-ply membrane, usually white, with seams that are heat-welded together. The light color reflects sunlight, which can help keep the space underneath cooler during hot Virginia summers. TPO is a popular choice for both homes and commercial buildings.
EPDM is a durable synthetic rubber membrane, typically black, that has been used on flat roofs for decades. It is flexible, handles temperature swings well, and is a dependable option for many residential low-slope areas. We will help you compare TPO and EPDM based on your roof, how the space below is used, and your budget.

Ponding water, open seams, punctures, blistering, and failed flashing are the usual culprits behind flat roof leaks. We locate the source, make a proper repair, and let you know honestly if the membrane is near the end of its life. For leaks on the sloped parts of your house, see our roof repair page.
Plenty of homes have both: a shingle main roof with a flat porch or addition. Because we handle both, we can make sure the transition between them is detailed correctly, which is where many leaks start. If you are planning a roof replacement, ask us to look at your flat sections at the same time. Good drainage matters too; properly sized gutters help carry water off low-slope roofs.
