For years Discount Roofing, struggled to find a quality flat roof material to install, on what we considered, true, no slope roofs. The modifieds work fine when some sort of pitch is available. Be it GTA or GMS, dealing with modifieds in the winter also was a real problem. A GMS couldn’t be applied properly. Now the modifieds have evolved into the peel and seal. They too work fine when dealing with some slope, but none of these will accept ponding of any type.
The old Type 3 asphalt was messy and smelled the neighborhood. With a cap sheet it seemed to work for a while, but any movement of the home and the old type 3 asphalt cracked like peanut brittle. Any of these cap sheets that have a polyester, modified base will not last with any type of ponding. This led Discount Roofing to search for a product that I felt good installing. This led to EPDM.
I’ve been installing EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) since 1997. It’s the one product that allows me and the customer to sleep well during a rain storm. I’ve never had a call back on an EPDM roof install. Texas Discount Roofing finished this boat house on Lake Conroe, eliminating years of problems with the old tar and gravel roof. Ponding problems are no problem with this product. Picture an innertube material and that’s essentially what you have. It is available in many different sizes and we try to eliminate as many seams as possible. Our next EPDM install is a flat roof home in River Plantation. We will be removing a Tar and Gravel and installing a much better roof, that the owner will eventually install a floating deck on top of. We’ve had a working relationship with one of the top deck builders on Lake Conroe for the past 15yrs. We are happy to refer him to finish out your flat roof deck.Texas Discount Roofing LLC, can solve your residential roofing problems.www.shingleman.com 936.756.9223
