Flat roofs require specialty membranes (TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen) — not standard asphalt shingles. Atlas Roofing replaces flat roofs in Willoughby on both commercial buildings and residential additions/garages with proper single-ply membrane systems.
In Willoughby, our commercial roofing work centers on the Downtown Willoughby Historic District area and similar properties — flat-roof systems (TPO, EPDM) and modified bitumen on retail, office, and small industrial buildings.
Willoughby's historic core has 69 buildings on the National Register — the Greek, Gothic, Italianate, and Classical Revival architecture there requires careful flashing and material-matching work where we don't default to standard architectural shingles.
Surrounding residential areas range from older homes near downtown to mid-century housing on the city's edges — tear-off complexity varies accordingly.
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.
