Low Slope and Flat Roofs
Low Slope and Flat Roofs
Many residential homes feature low slope or flat roof areas—porches, additions, and garages. These roofs require specialized systems to prevent pooling water and leaks. Honest Roofing installs durable flat roofing solutions designed for residential applications, including modified bitumen and advanced membrane options. Our solutions ensure long-term protection with minimal maintenance.
Where Low-Slope Roofs Appear on Homes
Low-slope and flat roof areas are common on porches, additions, garages, and dormers. Because water drains more slowly, these surfaces benefit from continuous membranes, robust flashing, and thoughtful drainage design.
- Integrated flashing at chimneys, skylights, and walls
- Properly sized gutters, scuppers, and downspouts
- Tapered insulation to direct water to drains
- UV- and puncture-resistant membranes
- Leak prevention: Continuous, watertight surfaces minimize weak points.
- Energy savings: Reflective options can reduce heat gain in summer.
- Quiet & clean: Low-maintenance systems designed for residential settings.
- Long service life: Expertly installed membranes last decades.
FAQs
What is a low-slope roof?
A low-slope roof typically has a pitch of 2:12 to 4:12. Because water drains more slowly, these roofs require membranes and drainage systems to prevent leaks.
How do you prevent ponding water?
We design slope with tapered insulation and ensure water has a clear path to drains or gutters. Proper prep and flashing are also key.
How long will my flat roof last?
With quality installation and maintenance, flat roofs commonly last 20–30 years.
