Flat roof replacements with waRRANTY

Is it time to replace your Flat roof?

Here’s our tried and true 4-step process:

Before a flat roof replacement, Roofing-MTL performs a full evaluation to assess the roof’s current condition, identify underlying issues, and confirm the most effective replacement approach for your property.

Planning involves choosing the right roofing system, materials, drainage approach, and timeline for the project, while Roofing-MTL ensures everything is tailored to your building and budget for a smooth, efficient installation.

Installation starts with safely removing the existing roofing layers down to a sound base, followed by preparing and repairing the roof deck as needed to ensure a solid foundation. Roofing-MTL then installs the new flat roofing system in carefully sealed layers, with attention to insulation, waterproof membranes, flashing, and drainage details to ensure long-term durability and reliable protection against leaks.

Follow-up includes a post-installation inspection by Roofing-MTL to confirm the new flat roof is properly sealed, draining correctly, and performing as expected, with any final adjustments made if needed, and all work is backed by a warranty of up to 15 years for added peace of mind.

  • When planning a flat roof replacement, the main decisions come down to a few key areas that affect performance, cost, and longevity.

    You’ll need to choose the roofing system (such as modified bitumen, EPDM, TPO, or elastomeric membranes), decide whether to replace or upgrade insulation, and consider if any structural repairs or slope corrections are needed to improve drainage.
