The lifespan of a flat roof depends heavily on the material used and the quality of installation. A professionally installed TPO or EPDM roof can last 20-30 years, while a Modified Bitumen roof typically lasts 15-20 years. Regular maintenance is key to maximizing its lifespan in the face of Staten Island’s snowy winters and hot, humid summers.

Yes, any water that stands for more than 48 hours is a concern. It adds significant weight, can accelerate the deterioration of roofing materials, and increases the risk of leaks. Our team can assess the cause, which is often related to improper drainage or sagging, and recommend a solution like adding drains or installing tapered insulation to improve the roof’s slope.

Absolutely. Modern “cool roof” technologies, particularly with white TPO or PVC membranes, are highly reflective. They reflect solar radiation instead of absorbing it, which can drastically reduce the temperature of the roof surface and lower your building’s cooling costs during the summer. We can also add rigid insulation boards during installation to further improve thermal performance.

A full replacement typically involves tearing off all old roofing materials down to the structural deck. We then inspect the deck for any damage and make necessary repairs. After that, we install the new insulation, cover board, and the selected roofing membrane (TPO, EPDM, etc.), ensuring all seams are properly sealed and flashing is expertly installed around all penetrations.
