Professional flat and low-slope roofing using TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems engineered for proper drainage and Title 24 energy compliance.
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.
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.
STEP 1
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
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
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.
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.
Certified installers for major TPO and EPDM manufacturers, qualifying your project for full system warranties.
Every flat roof installation includes engineered drainage to eliminate ponding water within 48 hours.
Reflective membrane systems reduce rooftop surface temperatures by 50-60 degrees compared to dark built-up roofs.
We handle projects from single-story residential additions to multi-building commercial complexes across Bakersfield.
We work on TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and coated flat-roof assemblies for commercial and selected residential properties in Bakersfield.
We verify slope-to-drain performance, correct low areas when practical, and restore drainage paths so water clears reliably after rainfall events.
They require different maintenance priorities, especially seam checks and drainage cleaning. With scheduled inspections, flat roofs can perform very reliably long-term.
