What are the Advantages of a Flat Roof?

It is a common misconception that a flat roof can cause a homeowner a variety of problems. This may not be common in today’s homes, but it is not necessarily a bad thing.

The primary advantage of a flat roof is the ease of accessibility. Once you make your way to the roof, as long as the structure is sound, it’s like you are walking on the ground. There is no (or little) slope to contend with, which makes it much easier to navigate, such as during an inspection.

Another benefit of a flat roof is the cost to install and maintain. Many people think this type of roof is prone to leaking, but this is only true if it is installed poorly and without the appropriate material.

At Pond Roofing, for example, we install EPDM rubber on all low-slope and float roofs. With this synthetic membrane in place, you don’t have to worry about areas of pooling water causing you trouble.

Last, but certainly not least, a flat roof will give a home a unique appearance from the outside. If you like modern homes, you will probably enjoy the look of a flat roof.

Do you own a home with a flat roof? Are you thinking about buying one? Contact us for more information on the pros and cons. Furthermore, we can inspect the roof to ensure that it is in good condition.

"Excellent service. Any question I had was addressed in a friendly yet professional manner. I have used Pond before for replacement windows and siding and most recently for new roofing. I highly recommend them for their responsiveness and the high quality of their work."

- Nancy P.

"Pond Roofing was very responsive and knowledgeable about the condition of our roof. They delivered before the expected date and their work was impeccable. I cannot recommend working with Shanti enough."

- Erin M.

"Easy communication with tons of photos and excellent job! Pond Roofing even came back to replace the color of the shingles to our satisfaction. The property was in McLean and they made me look great since my landlord client was very impressed. The swag cookies to our tenants was an added bonus. :-) Thanks so much!"

Laura M.

"Very fast initial response time and great customer service. Repair work was done (by prearrangement) while we had to be out of town and it looks great now that we are back. We have used Pond before and would call them first if we need roofing work in the future. Thanks!"

Scott C.

"Quality and Integrity. Terrific job on a roof repair. Called for a minor fix which was expertly accomplished. Patrick performed a complete inspection, ensuring no other damage or work needed. Perfect!"

Brian N.

"Great communication, very professional repair crew. We have a new construction house that had some issues with vent seals after 10yrs and Pond fixed 8 different areas in one day--very happy with the work."

- Ryan H.

"I recently hired Pond Roofing to check out a leak. They did a great job coming in on time and to troubleshoot the issue. Their pricing was competitive and overall service was excellent. I’m very happy with their work."
