Flat roofing in the GTA, done properly
A flat roof isn't actually flat — it's a low-slope system that has to move water off in a few inches of fall, sometimes less. Get the drainage plan wrong and you get ponding, and ponding on a GTA roof through a freeze-thaw winter is how small membrane flaws become leaks by spring.
TPO for reflective, seam-welded coverage
Good for commercial roofs where energy costs and heat-island effect matter, with hot-air welded seams that hold up to wind uplift.
EPDM for proven, budget-conscious durability
Rubber membrane that's been on Ontario roofs for decades — flexible in the cold, straightforward to repair.
Modified bitumen for torch-down strength
A good fit for older buildings and additions where a heavier, multi-ply system suits the deck.
Drainage and ponding correction
Tapered insulation and additional drains where a roof was built with dead-flat sections that were never going to shed water properly.
Ponding water is the number one flat roof killer here
Flat roofs across the GTA take a beating from ponding — water sitting in low spots after rain or snowmelt, then freezing and thawing over and over through winter. UV breaks down membrane at the same time standing water is finding every seam flaw. Add in lake-effect snow loads on the eastern side of the region and a marginal flat roof gets pushed past its limit fast.
We fix drainage, not just membrane
Patching a membrane over a roof that still ponds just buys you a year or two. We look at slope, drain placement and insulation taper as part of any flat roof job, so the fix addresses why water was sitting there in the first place, not just where it got through.

Flat & commercial roofing questions
What's the difference between TPO and EPDM?
TPO is a reflective, heat-welded single-ply membrane that handles heat and UV well. EPDM is a rubber membrane that's been around longer, flexes well in the cold, and is generally more budget-friendly. Which one makes sense depends on your building and roof configuration — we'll walk you through it after the survey.
Why does my flat roof keep ponding?
Most flat roofs need a small amount of engineered slope or tapered insulation to move water to the drains. If that taper was never installed correctly, or drains are undersized, water sits — and sitting water is what ages a membrane fastest.
Can you do a flat roof section on an otherwise sloped house?
Yes — additions, sunroom roofs and porch roofs with low-slope sections are common across GTA homes and we handle them the same way we handle full commercial flat roofs.
How long does a commercial flat roof replacement take?
Depends on square footage and whether it's a tear-off or overlay, but we give you a realistic timeline in the written quote before work starts, and we plan around weather rather than rushing a membrane down in the wrong conditions.
Do you serve strip plazas and multi-unit buildings?
Yes, across the GTA — Mississauga, Brampton, Markham and beyond. We coordinate scheduling to minimize disruption to tenants.
