Flat Roof Installation in Brookhaven & Jackson, Mississippi and Surrounding Areas

Flat Roofs in Brookhaven & Jackson, Mississippi

Flat roofs are a popular and reliable roofing option for both residential and commercial installations in Brookhaven, Jackson, and Surrounding Areas. A flat roof, also referred to as a low-slope roof, is widely used for outbuildings and large structures. A flat roof is not entirely horizontal but has a slope of approximately ¼ inch per foot to shed rainwater quickly to prevent damage. Modern flat roofs are made of more durable and advanced materials, making them more stylish and leakproof than their earlier versions. A flat roof is ideal for both new installations and roof replacement projects. Roofers build flat roofs using different materials. TPO, BUR, Modified Bitumen, and rubber membrane are popular types of flat roofs, each with its benefits and shortcomings. 


A flat roof is easy and affordable to install, clean, maintain, and repair. Its better insulating properties make it a more energy-efficient roofing option. A flat roof is easily accessible and offers a lot of space for various purposes. A flat roof is only as good as its installation. It should always be designed and installed by experienced and trained flat roof professionals. The installation requires following a specific process and using specific tools and equipment to ensure proper drainage and avoid leaks. Pros guarantee a seamless installation and create a watertight seal to keep the property dry and comfortable year-round.

Different types of Flat Roof Material Options

Built-Up Roof (BUR)

Built-up roofing is the traditional hot and gravel system. It comprises a bottom layer of insulation board followed by multiple layers of reinforced fabric alternated with tar or asphalt. The top layer usually uses gravel to provide a finished look and protect the underlying layers from the sun’s harmful UV rays and other elements. The more the layers, the more durable the roofing system is. BUR is cost-efficient, fire-resistant, provides excellent waterproofing, and is low maintenance.

Modified Bitumen Roof

Modified Bitumen is a single-ply roofing system developed in the 1960s as an alternative to built-up roofing. A modified bitumen roof system is made by combining asphalt with polymerized rubber or plastic and reinforced with fiberglass. MBR is available in rolled sheets and can be installed using a torch down or peel and stick method. Modified Bitumen is more durable than BUR, has a low installation cost, and is easy to repair. Modified Bitumen is also flexible, energy efficient, waterproof, and tear-resistant.

Rubber Membrane Roof

The flat rubber membrane roof is made from EPDM, or ethylene, propylene diene monomer rubber. EPDM is a durable, single-ply, synthetic rubber roof membrane. Although more desirable for low-sloped commercial roofs, EPDM is also used in residential buildings for patio roofs or carports. EPDM comes in different widths and thicknesses. Roofers either anchor it mechanically with fasteners, ballast it with stone, or glue it. The durability and affordability of EPDM make it one of the most popular flat roof systems for modern buildings. EPDM is lightweight, least expensive to install and repair, lasts longer, UV, hail, strong winds, and ozone resistant, fire-rated, and saves energy.
