Flat Roofing Materials

Explore flat roofing materials used in Santa Barbara and compare PVC, TPO, and torch down systems by performance and lifespan.

Flat roofs are low-slope systems that use durable membranes like TPO, PVC, or modified bitumen for waterproof protection.

What Is A Flat Roof?

Premium Look – Sealed membranes protect against pooling and leaks

Fire-Rated – Supports HVAC, solar panels and rooftop decks

Weather Tough – Reduces energy costs through reflective surfaces

Energy Efficient – Lasts 15 to 25 years with low maintenance

Cost-Effective – Compatible with cool roofing and eco-certifications

Flat roof performance depends on what’s underneath the membrane. We inspect and upgrade underlayment and insulation to ensure long-term durability.

Flat roofs are perfect for modern homes, additions and garages. They provide clean lines, energy savings and functional rooftop space.

Managing apartment buildings, HOAs or mixed-use spaces? Flat roofs offer predictable maintenance and long-term cost control.

Need scalable, code-compliant options? Flat roofs work well with TPO, Torch Down and solar-ready systems across multi-unit projects.

Ideal for watertight seams and energy efficiency.

Modified bitumen system for excellent waterproofing.

Heat-welded membrane with strong energy performance.

Up to 20–30 years available with manufacturer and installer coverage

“They replaced the flat roof on our commercial space in Goleta. On time, no surprises and zero leaks since.”

Most systems last 15 to 25 years depending on the material and care.
Not if installed correctly. We use waterproof membranes designed to handle pooling and drainage.
PVC is a durable, chemical-resistant single-ply membrane. Torch Down is a heat-applied bitumen system offering strong waterproofing for low-slope roofs. TPO is a reflective single-ply membrane known for energy efficiency.
It depends on your use case. PVC is more versatile and longer-lasting than TPO or Torch Down.
Yes. Flat roofs are ideal for solar and other rooftop systems.
Initial cost can vary, but many flat roofs lower long-term costs through energy savings and fewer repairs.
