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. West Sand Lake Roofing & Maintenance has been installing flat roofs in West Sand Lake for 15 years. We know what works and what doesn't in NY's climate.
Modified bitumen is our recommendation for residential flat roofs and high-traffic commercial applications. Two-ply torch-applied SBS system with a granulated cap sheet handles foot traffic, thermal cycling, and NY UV exposure. It's the toughest flat roof membrane for everyday abuse.
Our Flat Roofing Process
Flat Roof Inspection
Before recommending repair, coating, or replacement, we inspect the entire flat roof system. Membrane condition, insulation integrity, and drainage patterns all factor into our recommendation.
Your Options
Your proposal includes membrane type, insulation R-value, drainage design, and warranty coverage. If multiple options make sense, we price all of them so you can compare and choose what fits your budget and goals.
Membrane Installation
Insulation board cut and installed with staggered joints. Membrane installed over insulation per manufacturer specs. All penetrations (pipes, vents, HVAC curbs) receive custom-fabricated flashing. Drains and scuppers cleared and properly connected to the new membrane system.
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 West Sand Lake.

Why Choose West Sand Lake Roofing & Maintenance for Flat Roofing?
Core Sampling & Testing
Before recommending replacement or coating, we core sample the roof to check insulation moisture. Waterlogged insulation means tear-off. Dry insulation means options.
Maintenance Programs
Semi-annual flat roof inspections keep your warranty valid and catch problems early. Drain clearing, seam checks, and flashing inspection, all documented.
Electronic Leak Detection
We use electronic testing to pinpoint flat roof leaks without destructive investigation. Find the source, fix the source, move on.
All Flat Roof Systems
TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, built-up roofing, and coatings. We install the right system for your building, not whatever we have on the truck.
