Flat Roofing Services
Commercial and residential flat roof solutions. Temecula Roof Solutions provides expert installation, flat roof repair, and maintenance for all types of flat and low‑slope roofing systems. If your property has ponding water, seam issues, or a leaking membrane, our team can diagnose the problem quickly and recommend the right fix.
Flat roofs require specialized expertise. Unlike steep‑slope systems, flat roofs depend on precise drainage, high‑quality seam welding, and proper material selection. As a local roofing contractor, we tailor each system to the building, the climate, and the budget so you get performance that lasts.
Flat Roofing Systems We Install
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)
TPO roofing is a single‑ply membrane known for energy efficiency, durability, and cost‑effectiveness. It reflects heat, resists UV exposure, and performs well in Southern California’s sun.
Modified Bitumen
Modified bitumen is a multi‑layer system that provides excellent waterproofing and durability. It’s a great choice for roofs with foot traffic or added equipment.
EPDM (Rubber Roofing)
EPDM roofing is a synthetic rubber roofing membrane valued for longevity, flexibility, and UV resistance. It performs well over time and is often used on low‑slope commercial roofs.
Built‑Up Roofing (BUR)
Traditional tar and gravel systems provide proven performance and strong puncture resistance for flat commercial roofs.
Our Flat Roofing Services
New Installation
We install new flat roofs for commercial buildings, multifamily properties, and residential additions. Each flat roofing project includes proper slope planning, drainage, and flashing details to prevent leaks.
Flat Roof Repair
Ponding water, membrane punctures, blistering, or seam separation? We provide flat roof repair to address the root cause and restore watertight performance. Our team is experienced with TPO roofing, modified bitumen, and EPDM roofing systems.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance extends the life of your flat roof and reduces the risk of emergency repairs. We inspect seams, drains, and flashings and address minor issues before they become major problems.
Coating & Restoration
Reflective coatings can improve energy efficiency and extend roof life without full replacement. We evaluate whether your roof is a good candidate for restoration and explain the benefits.

Flat Roofing vs. Low‑Slope Roofing
Many residential additions and commercial buildings use low‑slope systems that look flat but still require precise drainage. Whether you need TPO roofing, modified bitumen, or EPDM roofing, our team designs systems with proper slope to reduce ponding and extend roof life.
Flat Roof Repair Process
- Inspection — We locate leaks and evaluate seams, drains, and flashings.
- Diagnosis — We identify whether the issue is membrane failure, puncture, or flashing wear.
- Repair — We complete flat roof repair using compatible materials and proven techniques.
- Prevention — We recommend maintenance steps to prevent repeat issues.
Choosing the Right System
- TPO roofing is cost‑effective and reflective for energy savings.
- EPDM roofing (a type of rubber roofing) is flexible and long‑lasting.
- Modified bitumen is durable for roofs with foot traffic.
We’ll help you select the best system for your building use and budget.
Flat Roofing FAQs
How long does a flat roof last? Most systems last 15–30 years depending on material, maintenance, and drainage. TPO roofing and EPDM roofing can last longer with proper upkeep.
Is ponding water a problem? Yes. Standing water accelerates membrane wear and increases leak risk. Proper drainage and timely flat roof repair are critical.
Ongoing Maintenance Recommendations
We recommend annual inspections for commercial roofs and after major storms for residential low‑slope roofs. Routine checks of drains, scuppers, and seams help prevent leaks and extend the life of TPO roofing, EPDM roofing, and modified bitumen systems.
Signs You May Need Flat Roof Repair
- Persistent ponding water after 48 hours
- Visible seam gaps or blistering
- Interior stains or musty odors
- Cracking at flashings or roof edges
If you notice these issues, schedule flat roof repair before damage spreads.

Flat Roofing Questions
What causes flat roofs to leak? Most leaks result from seam failure, flashing issues around penetrations, or drainage problems causing ponding. Proper installation with quality materials and regular maintenance prevents most common issues. We design systems with redundancy to prevent leaks even if minor damage occurs.
How often do flat roofs need maintenance? Annual inspections and regular debris removal are essential—debris can block drains and cause ponding. We recommend spring and fall cleanings plus post-storm inspections. This maintenance schedule extends roof life and prevents problems.
Can you install drains on an existing flat roof? Yes. We can retrofit internal drains or scuppers to improve drainage on existing roofs. Proper drainage design is critical for flat roof longevity, and we upgrade systems when needed.
What’s the lifespan of TPO vs. EPDM? TPO typically lasts 15-20 years while EPDM often reaches 25-30+ years. Both perform well; the choice depends on climate, maintenance expectations, and budget. We discuss both options and help you select the best fit.
