FAQ

Common questions, Torch-On (Flat Roofing).

Well-installed 2-ply SBS systems commonly perform for 20 to 30 years depending on traffic, exposure and maintenance.

Yes. We do both new installs and repair work on existing SBS, TPO and modified bitumen roofs.

Torch-on is priced by the square foot and by access, and a small deck or garage is a very different job from a full flat roof with parapets, scuppers and penetrations. Tear-off of the old membrane, any deck repair and the drainage detailing usually move the number more than the membrane itself. We assess on site for free and quote it line by line.

A properly installed two-ply SBS system runs 20 to 30 years in this climate. The failures we get called to are almost never the membrane itself: they are ponding water from a deck that was never sloped, or a detail at a scupper, parapet or penetration that was rushed.

Sometimes, if there is only one existing layer, the deck is sound and dry, and the slope actually drains. More often the honest answer is no, because whatever caused the first roof to fail is still under there. We open a test area and show you what we find before recommending either way.
