“I'd rather lose a job being honest than win one being shady. That's not how the Turners do business.”
Flat roofs are a specialty that requires real expertise - you can't just wing it. Too many contractors treat flat roofs like they're the same as sloped roofs, and that's how problems start. We've invested in the training, certifications, and equipment to do flat roofs right. Whether it's a 50,000 square foot warehouse or a small porch addition, we bring the same attention to detail and quality materials.

Flat Roof Contractors FAQs
Answers to common questions about flat roofing in Charlotte NC.
What types of flat roofing systems do you install in Charlotte?
We install all major flat roofing systems including TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin), EPDM (rubber roofing), PVC membranes, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing (BUR). Our team is factory-certified in each system type, allowing us to offer extended manufacturer warranties. We help you choose the best system based on your building type, budget, and performance requirements.
How much does a flat roof cost in Charlotte NC?
Flat roof costs in Charlotte typically range from $4 to $12 per square foot installed, depending on the material and project complexity. TPO and EPDM generally cost $4-8 per sq ft, while PVC runs $6-12 per sq ft. For a 2,000 sq ft flat roof, expect $8,000-$24,000. Commercial projects often achieve better per-square-foot pricing due to scale. We provide free, detailed estimates for accurate pricing.
What is the best flat roof material for Charlotte's climate?
For Charlotte's hot, humid summers and occasional severe weather, we typically recommend TPO or PVC roofing. TPO's white reflective surface can reduce cooling costs by 10-30% during summer while handling temperature fluctuations well. PVC offers superior chemical resistance - important for restaurants or facilities with HVAC equipment. EPDM is excellent for larger buildings where its durability and cost-effectiveness shine.
How long does a flat roof last?
With proper installation and maintenance, flat roof lifespans in Charlotte are: TPO 20-30 years, EPDM 25-30 years, PVC 25-30 years, and modified bitumen 15-20 years. Key factors affecting lifespan include installation quality, membrane thickness, regular maintenance, and addressing repairs promptly. Roof coatings can extend the life of an aging flat roof by 10-15 years.
Do you install flat roofs on residential homes?
Absolutely! We install flat roofs on residential properties including modern architectural homes, room additions, garage roofs, and covered patios. Charlotte has many mid-century modern homes and contemporary designs featuring flat or low-slope roofs. We use the same premium materials for residential projects as we do for commercial, ensuring your home gets top-quality protection.
What causes ponding water on flat roofs and how do you fix it?
Ponding water (water that doesn't drain within 48 hours) occurs due to poor drainage design, sagging structure, clogged drains, or settling over time. We fix ponding issues by installing tapered insulation systems that create slope for drainage, adding roof crickets to redirect water, improving or adding drains, and ensuring proper scupper maintenance. Left untreated, ponding accelerates membrane deterioration and causes leaks.
How often should flat roofs be inspected?
We recommend inspecting flat roofs twice yearly (spring and fall) plus after any severe weather event. Regular inspections catch small problems before they become expensive repairs. Our inspection checklist includes membrane condition, seam integrity, flashing, drainage systems, penetration seals, and overall structural condition. Many commercial clients use our maintenance programs for scheduled bi-annual inspections.
Can you repair a flat roof or does it need full replacement?
Many flat roof problems can be repaired rather than requiring full replacement. We always assess repair options first. Localized membrane damage, seam failures, flashing issues, and small leaks are typically repairable. We recommend replacement when the membrane has widespread deterioration, multiple problem areas, is beyond its expected lifespan, or when repair costs approach replacement cost. Our honest assessment helps you make the best decision.
What warranties do you offer on flat roof installations?
We offer comprehensive warranty coverage on all flat roof projects. Manufacturer warranties range from 10-30 years depending on the system and installation package. As certified installers, we can offer enhanced warranty packages including NDL (No Dollar Limit) coverage. We also provide our own workmanship warranty covering installation defects. Ask about warranty options during your free estimate.
How do TPO, EPDM, and PVC compare for commercial flat roofs?
TPO offers excellent energy efficiency with heat-welded seams at the best price point - ideal for most commercial buildings. EPDM provides proven durability and performs well in large-scale applications at similar cost. PVC delivers superior chemical resistance with heat-welded seams - best for restaurants, medical facilities, or buildings with roof-mounted equipment. We help you choose based on your specific building needs and budget.
