Flat Roofs
Flat roofs (or built up roofs) are more commonly found in commercial building than in homes. However, these types of roofs are also very well suited to residential structures. Flat roofing is installed through the use of layers of hot tar then roofing felt alternately. This is then covered with a layer of gravel. Sometimes, layers of fiberglass based asphalt sheeting and hot bitumen can also be used in flat roof installation. Flat roofing is sometimes also referred to as tar or gravel roofing due to the fact that gravel layering is used to help minimize damage from the sun.

One of the advantages of flat roofing is that it does not require any heavy duty maintenance, which minimizes up keep costs. Typically, flat roofs come with warranties of 12 years, but most flat roofs will need to be replaced once their durability ends. One of the drawbacks of flat roofs is that it tends to leak as soon as it is punctured. One way this can be avoided is to use paving stones to protect the roofing membrane. To avoid collection of water after the rains, a flat roof contractor will install drains at the edges of the roof.
