That's still there two days after rain
In modified bitumen or a roll roof
On EPDM rubber, or shrinkage pulling at the edges
Where the flat roof meets the house
Under a porch roof or addition
When you step on it
On flat roofs it's usually a seam, a wall flashing or a drain, not the middle of the membrane.
Small failures: re-seal seams, patch blisters, re-flash the wall.
When the membrane is brittle, the insulation under it is wet, or it's been patched too many times: strip to the deck, replace wet boards, add tapered insulation where water ponds, install the new membrane.
Drip edge, wall flashing and counter-flashing, and the joint with any shingled roof.
And walk the finished roof with you.
Good for: Porch roofs, additions, garages
Notes: Black or white, few seams, easy to repair
Good for: Larger flat roofs
Notes: White, reflects summer heat, heat-welded seams
Good for: Small residential flat roofs, row houses
Notes: Torch-down or peel-and-stick; the Scotch Plains job used GAF materials

It depends on the system and how well it was installed. A well-installed EPDM or TPO roof often lasts 20 years or more; patched roll roofing much less.
Often, yes. Seam and wall-flashing failures are common and fixable. If the insulation underneath is soaked, a patch won't last, and we'll show you why.
Flat roofs should still slope slightly to a drain or edge. Sagging, settled framing or a missing taper causes ponding. We can add tapered insulation when we replace it.
Yes. Doing both together means the joint between them is flashed once, by one crew.
Small commercial flat roofs only, if confirmed.
Our crew drives out from Banta Ave every morning. These are the counties we work in most.
