Flat roofs require specialty membranes (TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen) — not standard asphalt shingles. Atlas Roofing replaces flat roofs in Cleveland Heights on both commercial buildings and residential additions/garages with proper single-ply membrane systems.
In Cleveland Heights, our commercial roofing work centers on the Coventry Village shopping district area and similar properties — flat-roof systems (TPO, EPDM) and modified bitumen on retail, office, and small industrial buildings.
Most original 1920s-era roofs were replaced once in the 1990s-2000s and are now reaching their second 25-30 year cycle — Cleveland Heights is one of the higher-volume residential roofing markets in Cuyahoga County.
Many brick facades with complex chimneys require careful flashing attention; chimney leaks are a common service call in older Cleveland Heights homes.
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.
