Flat roof repair and replacement in Orange County

What does flat and low-slope roofs cost?
The price for flat and low-slope roofs depends on the roof in front of us, so A&J Roofing gives you a written price after looking at it and before any work starts. These are the things that move the number most.
- Square footage and how many penetrations (vents, AC stands) sit on it
- Whether the deck needs reshaping to stop ponding
- The roof system chosen for the replacement
- Access: a garage roof is simpler than a second-floor deck roof
How flat and low-slope roofs works with us
Ponding is the real enemy
A flat roof that holds water after rain is wearing out faster than one that drains. Fixing a leak without fixing the drainage usually means a second visit. We look at where the water goes first.

Flat and low-slope roofs questions
Other services
Why does my flat roof leak only in heavy rain?
Heavy rain fills the roof faster than the drains can empty it, so water rises above seams and flashing that stay dry in light rain. Blocked or undersized drains and scuppers are the usual cause.
Can a flat roof be repaired instead of replaced?
Often. Splits, blisters and failed seams can be repaired if the rest of the membrane is sound. If the whole surface is cracked or soft underfoot, replacement is the better spend.
Do you work on patio cover roofs?
Yes. Patio covers and garage roofs are some of the most common flat roofs we see, usually leaking where they meet the house wall.
