Florida weather is no joke. From scorching heat to hurricane-force winds, your commercial flat roof needs to be built right—and built to last.

Here’s everything you should know before investing in a flat roof for your commercial building in cities like Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa, or Orlando.

Why Choose a Flat Roof for Your Commercial Building?

Flat roofs are the top pick for Florida businesses. Here’s why:

• Cost-effective installation

• Easy access for HVAC units, solar panels, and maintenance

• Sleek, modern look that works on warehouses, schools, retail, and office buildings

• Efficient drainage with the right slope and tapering system

Our Flat Roof Installation Process

1. Inspection & Prep

We evaluate your roof deck for moisture damage, deflection, and structural readiness. We only build on solid, code-compliant substrates.

2. Insulation & Slope Design

We install polyisocyanurate foam board insulation with an R-value of 5.6 per inch and ensure ¼" per foot slope minimum to eliminate ponding water.

3. Waterproof Membrane Application

We install your chosen membrane using approved methods: heat welding, cold adhesive, or mechanical fastening. Seams and penetrations are tightly sealed.

4. Flashing & Edge Metal

We install perimeter metal, wall flashings, and drain seals to meet ANSI/SPRI ES-1 and Florida wind uplift standards.
