Flat Roof Installation and Repair Specialists

Bakersfield Expert Roofing offers professional flat roof installation and repair in Bakersfield, CA with over 20 years of experience handling residential and commercial roofing projects.

Flat and low-slope roofs require specialized membrane systems, precise drainage engineering, and reflective surface treatments that differ fundamentally from pitched roof construction. We install and repair single-ply TPO, EPDM rubber, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing for commercial buildings, residential additions, and patio covers throughout Kern County. Every flat roof we install includes tapered insulation or cricket systems to eliminate ponding water — the leading cause of premature membrane failure.

TPO and EPDM Membrane Systems in Bakersfield, CA

TPO and EPDM Membrane Systems

We heat-weld TPO seams and adhesive-bond EPDM membranes to create monolithic waterproof surfaces across your entire roof plane. These single-ply systems offer superior UV resistance, reflectivity ratings that exceed Title 24 requirements, and 20-30 year manufacturer warranties when installed to specification.

Flat Roof Installation and Repair Process

STEP 1

Roof Survey and System Selection

We assess your building's structural capacity, insulation requirements, and drainage conditions to recommend the optimal membrane system. Factors include foot traffic levels, rooftop equipment penetrations, and energy efficiency targets.

STEP 2

Substrate Preparation and Insulation

We install or replace insulation board, address any decking damage, and build up tapered systems where needed to establish positive drainage slopes across the entire roof surface.

STEP 3

Membrane Installation and Sealing

The selected membrane is installed per manufacturer specifications with fully welded or adhered seams, reinforced flashing at all penetrations and parapet walls, and edge metal detailing at every termination point.

Drainage Engineering in Bakersfield, CA

Drainage Engineering

Ponding water destroys flat roofs. We design drainage solutions using tapered ISO board, internal drains, scuppers, and overflow outlets to move water off the membrane surface within 48 hours of any rain event. Existing roofs with ponding issues are re-sloped during repair or replacement.

Flat Roof Installation and Repair FAQs

Which flat roof systems do you install and repair?

We work on TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and coated flat-roof assemblies for commercial and selected residential properties in Bakersfield.

How do you prevent ponding water on flat roofs?

We verify slope-to-drain performance, correct low areas when practical, and restore drainage paths so water clears reliably after rainfall events.

Are flat roofs harder to maintain than pitched roofs?

They require different maintenance priorities, especially seam checks and drainage cleaning. With scheduled inspections, flat roofs can perform very reliably long-term.
