Flat roofs demand specialized materials and installation techniques. Force 5 installs TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems built to handle Colorado's weather extremes.
Flat and low-slope roofs present unique challenges — drainage, ponding water, UV degradation, and freeze-thaw damage. We install systems engineered specifically for these conditions with proper drainage design built in.
A properly installed TPO or EPDM system lasts 20–30 years in Colorado. UV exposure and freeze-thaw cycles are the primary enemies — quality installation with proper insulation and drainage is essential.
Most flat roof leaks stem from failed seams, damaged flashing around penetrations (vents, HVAC, drains), ponding water, or membrane deterioration from UV exposure. We diagnose the exact failure point before recommending repair or replacement.
Yes — flat and low-slope roofs are common on contemporary homes, additions, and garages. We install residential flat roof systems with proper drainage design to handle Colorado's snow loads.
