Flat & Low-Slope Roofing
Modern Solutions for Durable Protection
Often found on commercial buildings, multi-family units, and modern residential designs, flat and low-slope roofs are a specialized roofing solution demanding expert installation. While appearing "flat," these roofs actually feature a slight pitch to ensure proper drainage, crucial for long-term performance. They are ideal for maximizing rooftop space, accommodating HVAC systems, solar panels, or even rooftop patios.
Flat roofing systems require specialized knowledge and precision installation to ensure proper drainage and prevent common issues like ponding water and leaks. Our experienced team possesses the specific skills needed for these systems, from initial design and material selection to meticulous installation and ongoing maintenance.
We deliver effective, affordable, and dynamic flat roof solutions. Our expertise allows us to provide the type of renovation that truly fits your needs, right down to custom color options for coatings that adjust reflectivity and create higher levels of protection against weather and temperature.

At Midwest Roofing & Construction, we are experts in installing and maintaining a wide range of flat and low-slope roofing systems, each offering unique advantages:
-
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer): Often called "rubber roofing," EPDM is a highly durable and flexible synthetic rubber membrane. It's known for its longevity (often 20+ years), excellent resistance to UV rays and ozone, and cost-effectiveness. EPDM is also lightweight and easy to install.
-
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin): A rapidly growing choice, TPO is a single-ply membrane known for its exceptional energy efficiency. Its reflective white surface helps reduce heat absorption, lowering cooling costs. TPO is lightweight, durable, and highly resistant to tears, punctures, and mold. Its seams are heat-welded for superior strength.
-
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): One of the strongest flat roof materials, PVC offers outstanding resistance to chemicals, fire, and extreme weather. Like TPO, its seams are hot-air welded, creating a bond stronger than the membrane itself, leading to a very long lifespan.
-
Modified Bitumen (Mod-Bit): A hybrid system combining traditional asphalt with polymer modifiers. It's known for its durability, flexibility, and resistance to extreme temperatures. It often features a granulated top surface for added protection and energy efficiency.
-
Roof Coatings: Beyond new installations, we also specialize in applying high-performance coatings over existing flat roofs. These coatings can restore, protect, and extend the life of your current system, often improving energy efficiency and preventing leaks without a full tear-off.
