Flat roofs require specialty membranes (TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen) — not standard asphalt shingles. Atlas Roofing replaces flat roofs in Bedford on both commercial buildings and residential additions/garages with proper single-ply membrane systems.
In Bedford, our commercial roofing work centers on the Bedford Historic District area and similar properties — flat-roof systems (TPO, EPDM) and modified bitumen on retail, office, and small industrial buildings.
Bedford's historic district along Broadway has true century homes — original wood-shake roofs that were re-roofed multiple times mean tear-offs frequently expose damaged sheathing and original framing that needs evaluation.
The newer 1950s-70s housing on the edges has standard mid-century concerns but is generally simpler work.
Depends on the application. TPO is the most common new commercial install (white reflective surface, energy efficient). EPDM (black rubber) is durable and proven. We'll recommend based on your building.
Most 'flat' roofs actually have a slight slope (typically 1/4" per foot) for drainage. True dead-flat roofs are rare and require special detailing.
