Fun Facts About Flat Roofs



We here at A-Plus Roofing know a thing or two about flat roof repair. In Anoka County, we have helped plenty of business owners with their flat roofs. As experts in flat roof repair, we have seen and repaired just about everything when it comes to flat roofs. Here is a quick list of some fun facts about flat roofs:

  • Flat roofs are not 100% flat. They have an incline, even just a slight one, to ensure water drains off of them properly.
  • Pitched and sloped roofs are usually more expensive than flat roofs.
  • For a highly reflective roof, try PVC. You could potentially save a lot of money on your utility bills if you get this kind of roofing installed.
  • PVC roofs usually do not require a lot of flat roof repair, plus they are easily maintained and any repairs, if needed, are usually very simple to do.
  • If you have heavy HVAC equipment, flat roofs are a great choice because the equipment can be assembled and installed on the roof.
  • Flat roofs can also be turned into a rooftop garden or rooftop patio in order to be more environmentally friendly. Plus they are great for entertaining too!
  • In order to get the best flat roof repair work done, it is important that you hire roofers who specialize in flat roofs. Flat roof repair and installation are vastly different than other types of roofing repair and installation.
  • When it comes to flat roof repair, usually the biggest problem is leaks that happen because of the presence of flashing and seams.

When to Use Minneapolis Commercial Roof Contractors

Your roofing is probably not something you think about very often, as a business owner. You have a million other things to be worrying about. Don't stress because we service roofs all around Minneapolis. Commercial roof contractors can provide a variety of services, so how do you tell when, and how often you need to use one? To us it's pretty simple. Don't try to handle your commercial roof on your own. Leave it to the experts. In this blog, we're going to cover two of the most important times to rely on the expertise of a commercial roof contractor.

Preventative Maintenance
Preventative maintenance is probably the most important time to have a commercial roof contractor pay you a visit. Having your roof inspected either right before or right after winter is usually a good idea. A little bit of preventative maintenance can go a long way. Whether your flat roof is new, or you've had it for years, it still needs to be looked at. It only takes on bad storm, or one accident to severely damage your roof. If you wait until your roof is leaking, you've probably waited too long.

Emergency Situations
We understand that there are situations that cannot be prevented. Sometimes there are emergencies that need attended to. In this case, you should already be familiar with a local Minneapolis commercial roof contractor, from the annual inspections. Call them at the first sign of trouble. What seems like a minor inconvenience at one point, may turn into a huge problem if left unattended. You may have water damage, structural damage to your facility or your roof cave in if you're not proactive.

Why Are Flat Roofs So Popular For Twin Cities Commercial Buildings?

Flat roofs for Twin Cities commercial buildings are a popular choice. There are several reasons for this, and A-Plus Roofing is going to outline a few of those in this blog. We're a commercial roofing company; Twin Cities and the surrounding areas know they can come to us for all of their commercial roofing needs. We are always happy to help and share our knowledge!

In dry climates, flat roofs are popular for a commercial roofing company to install because they are more economical than sloped roofs. They are usually an attractive choice for various architectural styles, especially when a home or business owner is going for a more modern look.

However, in a climate like the Twin Cities', snow is a definite concern. You want your commercial roofing company to keep the average annual snowfall in mind when designing and building or repairing your flat roof. However, the snow that lands on your roof can provide insulation, so it can actually work in your favor! A reputable commercial roofing company in the Twin Cities, like A-Plus Roofing, will build a flat roof that will have the proper drainage in place but will also use the snow to its advantage.

When your flat roof is being designed, the architect or engineer will want a commercial roofing company to install it, and that commercial roofing company must use only the highest quality materials. But the same would go for a sloped roof, right? So don't let this intimidate you. Either way, a Twin Cities commercial roofing company like A-Plus Roofing will keep that in mind when installing or repairing your commercial roof at your Twin Cities business.

Also, another perk to having a flat roof is that it's a space-saver. If you have a sloped roof installed, you can sometimes lose precious head room. But if you go with a flat roof, there is no need to worry about losing out on that space. You can take advantage of every single inch of room in your commercial business.

When you need a Twin Cities commercial roofing company to install or repair a flat roof, call A-Plus Roofing at (952) 894-5435. Or you can contact us online. We also do roof inspections!
