Flat Roofing

Flat and low-slope roofing for homes, additions and small businesses in Trinity and Shasta counties.

Flat Roofing

Flat and low-slope roofs are built differently from pitched roofs. Water has nowhere to run quickly, so the details that matter most are drainage, seams and flashing. We install and re-roof flat roofs on homes, additions, garages and small commercial buildings in Trinity and Shasta counties.

What matters on a flat roof

  • Drainage: water that pools on a flat roof shortens its life. We look at slope, drains and edges first.
  • Seams and flashing: most flat-roof leaks start at a seam, a wall edge or a penetration.
  • The right system for the building: we recommend a system after we look at the roof and talk about how the building is used.
  • Heat and snow: a flat roof in a Redding summer and one in a Trinity winter face very different stress.

Frequently asked questions

Can you repair a flat roof, or does it need replacing?

Often a flat roof can be repaired at the seams or flashing. If the roof surface has failed across the whole roof, replacing it is the better long-term answer. We will tell you which applies.

How long does a flat roof last?

It depends on the system, how well the roof drains and how it has been maintained. We will give you a realistic expectation for your building.

Do you do flat roofs on homes and businesses?

Yes, both. See also commercial roofing.

Is the estimate really free?

Yes in Lewiston, Weaverville, Douglas City and Junction City. In other areas, such as Hayfork, Trinity Center and Coffee Creek, we may charge for the cost of fuel. Fuel is expensive right now, and we would rather tell you up front. Ask us about your location.

Is the work under warranty?

Do you offer financing?

Yes, through the Joist app. Ask us for the link when you request your estimate.
