Flat Roofing Services We Offer
Flat roofing is a common choice for commercial properties across Maryland. From warehouses in Baltimore to schools in Montgomery County, businesses rely on flat roofs for durability, cost efficiency, and practicality. RoofPRO provides installation, repair, and replacement services for all major commercial flat roofing systems, backed by decades of experience and a team of certified contractors.
Whether your property needs a brand-new flat roof or emergency repairs after a storm, we help building owners find long-lasting solutions that protect their investment. You can request a quick repair, a full assessment, or a multi-year maintenance plan. Here is how each service works.
Inspections & Leak Detection
An inspection includes a site walk, a review of seams and flashings, drain testing, and a condition report. For persistent leaks, we can add infrared moisture scanning and core sampling. These tools reveal wet insulation, hidden pathways, and saturated areas that need removal. You get photos, marked roof plans, and a summary that explains next steps.
Flat Roof Repairs
Our repair service covers active leaks that affect your business operations. Technicians locate the source, dry the area, clean the surface, and install compatible patches or sealants. Scheduled repairs resolve known weak points such as open laps, aging pitch pans, brittle flashings, and clogged scuppers. We document every repair with before and after images.
Roof Replacement
When a roof reaches the end of its service life or shows widespread damage, we offer replacement options. The scope may include a full tear off or an re-roofing overlay when code allows it. We specify attachment methods based on wind uplift and deck condition. Mechanically attached, fully adhered, and induction welded systems each have a place. Your proposal will explain the tradeoffs.
Roof Coatings
Coatings extend roof life when the existing membrane remains structurally sound. After cleaning and detail repairs, we install silicone or acrylic systems with correct mil thickness and reinforcement at seams. Roof coatings can add reflectivity, help with ponding resistance, and defer a tear off for several years. We confirm compatibility with your current membrane before any work begins.
Flat Roofing Systems We Install
Different facilities need different flat roofing materials. We install and service all major types, so you can choose based on performance, code needs, and total cost of ownership.
TPO Roofing
TPO offers white reflective surfaces, heat-welded seams, and a range of thicknesses. It works well for warehouses, retail, and distribution centers that want cooler roof surfaces and straightforward maintenance. We install systems from brands such as GAF and Carlisle with mechanically attached or fully adhered options. Insulation packages can meet or exceed current R-value targets.
EPDM Roofing
EPDM handles thermal movement and long exposure. Black membranes warm up faster on sunny days, which can help snow melt in winter. Seams use tapes or adhesives, and details get reinforced. EPDM fits office parks and schools that value long-term durability and serviceability.
Modified Bitumen Roofing
Mod bit systems use reinforced sheets with cap and base layers. They provide strong puncture resistance and reliable details at curbs and perimeters. Torch, cold-applied, or self-adhered methods are available based on building needs. Modified bitumen works well for heavy foot traffic and complex roof layouts.
Spray Foam Roofing (SPF)
SPF builds continuous insulation and creates a monolithic surface. It seals around penetrations and eliminates seams. A protective coating completes the system. SPF can improve drainage with targeted buildup and often reduces energy loads in older buildings with poor insulation. It is a strong fit for multifamily, hospitality, and facilities with many penetrations.

Benefits of Flat Roofing for Businesses
Flat roofs remain one of the most popular choices for commercial buildings because they offer straightforward construction, affordability, and reliable performance. Large buildings such as retail centers or office complexes benefit from the simple design that reduces materials and labor compared to pitched roofing.
Flat surfaces also make inspection, cleaning, and repair work easier. Contractors can move around safely while performing maintenance, which lowers costs for building owners.
Cost-Effectiveness and Energy Efficiency
A well-installed flat roof helps control heating and cooling expenses. Many flat roofing systems reflect sunlight, which reduces the strain on air conditioning units during Maryland’s hot summers. Businesses save money year after year when energy-efficient roofing materials are used.
Flat roofs also allow building owners to add insulation layers that improve thermal performance. This is particularly valuable for facilities that require strict temperature control, such as warehouses and medical buildings.
Space Optimization (HVAC, Solar Panels, Equipment)
Flat roofs create usable space for heavy equipment. HVAC systems, exhaust fans, solar panels, and even communication equipment can be installed on the roof without interfering with the building’s operations. This feature is especially valuable for urban properties in areas like Silver Spring or Annapolis, where space is limited.

Our Process: From Assessment to Warranty
Inspection & Assessment
We start with measurements, photos, and drainage checks. Moisture scanning and select core cuts confirm saturation and deck type. This evidence guides the detailed project estimate so you get exactly what you need for your property.
Detailed Proposal
Each proposal is built to give you a clear understanding of your roofing options. Repair and replacement choices are outlined side by side, with details on materials, installation methods, insulation, and code compliance. Timelines, potential disruptions, and warranty coverage are all included, so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins. Every proposal is straightforward, detailed, and designed to help you make confident decisions for your property.
Prep and Execution
We pull permits and arrange staging areas, dumpsters, and crane logistics. The safety plan covers fall protection, barricades, and access control. You get daily updates with photos and a summary of completed work.

Flat Roofing Expertise For All Types of Commercial Buildings
Every building type brings different priorities. Here is a practical starting point for property owners to consider:
Warehouses and Distribution Centers
Large open roofs benefit from TPO with mechanically attached systems that balance cost and performance. Induction welding can speed installation on big footprints. Reflective surfaces help reduce heat gain and protect inventory and equipment below.
Retail, Restaurants, and Mixed-Use
Restaurants have grease vents and frequent service visits. Modified bitumen or TPO with reinforced walkway pads can reduce punctures. We plan work during closed hours and set up safe access paths for vendors.
Offices and Medical Facilities
Quiet work and patient comfort come first. Fully adhered TPO or EPDM lowers noise during installation and reduces fastener telegraphing. We coordinate elevator use, infection control risk assessments where required, and clean staging zones.
Multifamily and Condo Associations (HOAs)
SPF and coatings eliminate seams and help with energy performance. EPDM also works where movement is high. We maintain safe tenant routes, and provide clear notices for balcony or rooftop closures.
Schools, Churches, and Municipal Buildings
Budgets and calendars drive decisions. Coatings and modified bitumen can extend life while staying within funding windows. We align construction around breaks, community events, and school or civic schedules.
Cost Factors for Commercial Flat Roofing in Maryland
Budgets vary with scope and site conditions. These are the drivers we quantify in every estimate.
Roof size, layers, and tear-off requirements: More square footage and more existing layers increase labor and disposal. Code may require a full tear-off when insulation is saturated or layers exceed limits.
Insulation type, R-value targets, and code compliance: Current codes set minimum R-values. Tapered insulation improves drainage and reduces standing water. Costs depend on thickness, slope, and layout.
Flashings, penetrations, and curb details: Every curb, pipe, and pitch pan needs attention. Complex mechanical yards increase detail counts and require more time. We include walkway pads where service traffic is heavy.
Access, logistics, and off-hours work: Downtown sites may require night work, flaggers, or special crane permits. Suburban campuses may allow daytime work but need careful delivery timing. Logistics are clearly presented in the work schedule and labor line items.
Warranty length and manufacturer specs: Longer manufacturer warranties may require specific details such as thicker membranes and higher mil coatings. We list those requirements so you know what you gain from each level.
