July 11, 2016

Are you thinking about replacing the flat roof on your building? Then look no further than Dick’s Roof Repair Service. Dick’s is Kenosha and Racine’s preferred flat roof (also known as a low sloping roof) contractor. Dick’s has the knowledge and experience needed to complete your flat roof project successfully.

Flat and low slope roofs look attractive on a wide range of architectural styles and commercial buildings. You can even find a flat and low slope roof on the dormers and porches/balconies of residential homes. If you have an existing commercial building with a low slope roof, here are some reasons to have Dick’s Roof Repair Service inspect the roof.

  • There is ponding water on the roof.
  • There are alligator cracks in the roof, also known as large cracks.
  • The rubber from the low slope roof is pulling away from any of the walls.
  • The seams in the low slope roof have failed or are leaking.

If any of the above is happening on your low slope roof, than it is time to have Dick’s Roof Repair Service install a new roof on your commercial building.  

Dick’s Roofing utilizes EPDM (Ethyline Propolyne Diene Terpolymer), which is the most commonly installed single-ply membrane for both residential and commercial applications, and is also a cost effective way to replace the roof. EPDM roofs come in different thicknesses, but we at Dick’s Roofing use the 0.60 mil, as it is a heavier rubber roofing.

EPDM is a single-ply rubber roofing membrane that is resistant to weathering, and abrasion damage. Because of its tolerance to a wide array of weather conditions including wind and hail, EPDM is one of the most sustainable and environmental materials currently used in the commercial roofing industry. An EPDM roof is a fully adhered system, which due to recent technology advances, has become a leading choice in second generation applications. It is ideal for reroof situations, as the previous roof can be torn out or it could go over the existing roof depending on what is currently installed on your roof.

Installation of a low slope roof is to be done in the spring, summer or early fall.
