Flat roofing is what separates experienced contractors from general roofers. The materials are different, the installation methods are different, and the failure points are different. Ghent Roofing & Maintenance has been installing flat roofs in Ghent for 15 years. We know what works and what doesn't in KY's climate.
EPDM (rubber roofing) has a 50-year track record as a proven flat roofing membrane. Fully adhered EPDM over polyiso insulation is a reliable, cost-effective choice for Ghent property owners who want proven performance without the premium price of TPO or PVC.
Our Flat Roofing Process
Membrane Assessment
We inspect the membrane surface, seam integrity, flashing condition, penetration seals, drain function, and overall drainage pattern. Core samples reveal whether the existing insulation is dry or waterlogged. Full findings provided in a written report.
Detailed Proposal
We present options, not ultimatums. If a repair extends your flat roof 5-10 years, that might be the smartest investment right now. If the insulation is waterlogged and the membrane is failing, replacement is the answer. We lay out the facts.
Membrane Installation
Flat roof installation requires specialized equipment and training. Our crew uses calibrated hot-air welders for TPO and PVC, torching equipment for modified bitumen, and proper adhesive systems for EPDM. Every seam, flashing, and penetration detail gets individual attention.
Warranty & Drainage Test
Your flat roof gets a completion package: installation documentation, warranty certificates, drainage verification, and maintenance recommendations. We stand behind every flat roof we install in Ghent.
