Commercial and Industrial Roofing Across Chester County
Flat Roof Solutions works on a wide range of structures, from warehouses and manufacturing plants to schools, offices, and shopping centers. West Chester’s mix of historic and modern buildings often brings unique challenges such as aged substrates, ponding issues, or ventilation problems. Our technicians approach each project with a clear evaluation, giving you options that balance cost, longevity, and building use.
Why Flat Roofs Make Sense for Businesses
Flat roofing remains the preferred design for commercial buildings because it is efficient, durable, and easy to maintain. These systems offer space for HVAC units, solar panels, or even outdoor break areas, while also reducing overall construction costs compared to pitched roofs.
Flat Roof Repair in West Chester
Leaks, flashing failure, and surface deterioration can quickly disrupt your operation. Our technicians locate the true source of each issue and make repairs that last. We handle all major materials including EPDM, TPO, PVC, metal, asphalt, and foam.
Patching and Permanent Repairs
If the damage is minor, we apply reinforced patches that stop leaks immediately. When sections of the roof have broader wear, we repair and seal those areas while preparing a long-term plan for restoration or replacement.
Emergency Roof Repair
Flat Roof Solutions provides prompt emergency service to help West Chester businesses stay operational. Our crew can often respond the same day to contain leaks or storm damage.
Flat Roof Installation Services
When your building needs a new roofing system, we handle every step of the installation process. Our team installs single-ply membranes, metal systems, and asphalt solutions designed to withstand the Mid-Atlantic climate.
Single-Ply Membranes
We install EPDM, TPO, and PVC membranes, each chosen for specific performance goals. EPDM’s rubber surface offers flexibility and longevity, while TPO and PVC provide bright, reflective finishes that lower cooling costs.
Asphalt and Metal Roofing
For projects requiring traditional materials, we install BUR and Modified Bitumen systems that deliver time-tested strength. For facilities seeking durability with energy efficiency, steel and aluminum roofs can reduce heat transfer by up to 30 percent.
Our Installation Guarantee
Every roof we install includes a Manufacturer’s No Dollar Limit (NDL) warranty covering both materials and labor for the full term of protection.
Flat Roof Restoration Services
Restoration allows building owners to avoid full replacement costs while extending the life of an existing roof. We apply industrial-grade coatings that create a seamless waterproof layer over materials such as asphalt, metal, EPDM, TPO, and PVC.
Energy-Efficient Roof Coatings
Our silicone, acrylic, and urethane coatings are ENERGY STAR qualified and improve thermal performance. Roof restoration projects come with 10-, 15-, or 20-year manufacturer warranties that can be renewed in ten-year increments.
Environmental and Tax Benefits
Because restoration projects qualify as maintenance, they are typically fully tax deductible under Section 179. The process also eliminates landfill waste from tear-offs, making it a greener solution.
Flat Roof Inspection and Maintenance
The National Association of Roof Contractors recommends two inspections per year, once before winter and once after spring. We inspect both interior and exterior areas to identify ponding, flashing failure, water stains, mold, or structural stress.
Detailed Reporting
After each visit, you receive a written assessment that outlines repair priorities, maintenance tips, and long-term recommendations. Regular inspections protect your investment and help avoid downtime from leaks or equipment damage.
Flat Roof Replacement and Recovery
When repairs exceed 20 percent of replacement cost or the roof has reached half its service life, replacement often becomes the smarter long-term choice.
Full Roof Replacement
We remove the old system, install new insulation, and replace it with a durable, energy-efficient roof using top-tier products. Each replacement is completed with the same craftsmanship that has defined Flat Roof Solutions since 1997.
Roof Recovery
If the existing insulation and structure remain sound, we can recover the roof by applying a new layer over the current surface. This approach reduces cost, waste, and installation time while still delivering long-term performance.

Flat Roofing and Commercial Roofing FAQs
How long does a commercial flat roof last?
Most commercial flat roofs last between 20 and 30 years depending on the material and the quality of installation. EPDM systems often reach 30 years or more, while TPO and PVC tend to average around 25 years. Roof coatings and routine inspections can add another decade of service life by keeping UV exposure and water damage under control.
What is the best flat roofing material for energy efficiency?
TPO and PVC membranes are the top performers for energy savings because they reflect sunlight instead of absorbing it. Many of our commercial clients in West Chester see reduced indoor temperatures during the summer, which can cut cooling costs by 10 to 20 percent. Metal roofing systems also perform well when finished with reflective coatings.
How often should I have my roof inspected?
We recommend two inspections each year and an additional visit after major weather events like hail, heavy rain, or snow. These inspections help detect small problems such as seam separation or clogged drains before they lead to leaks or insulation damage. The cost of routine inspections is far less than dealing with interior repairs later on.
Can a roof coating fix leaks?
A properly applied coating can seal small cracks and joints, creating a watertight barrier that stops minor leaks. However, it is not a substitute for major structural repairs. Before applying a coating, we clean the surface, repair open seams, and complete a core sample to confirm that the existing materials can hold the new layer effectively.
Do you offer warranties?
Yes. Every new roof or restoration project includes manufacturer-backed product and labor warranties that range from 10 to 20 years. These warranties can be renewed in ten-year increments after an inspection, providing long-term protection for your investment.
What causes ponding on flat roofs?
Ponding is usually caused by poor drainage or sagging in the roof deck. When water collects for more than 48 hours, it can accelerate deterioration. Our team resolves this by regrading low spots, cleaning drain lines, and applying coatings that enhance water runoff across the roof surface.
What is the difference between recovering and replacing a roof?
Recovering adds a new membrane over the existing roof if the structure and insulation remain in good shape. It is faster, more affordable, and minimizes disruption. Replacement is a full tear-off where the insulation and underlayment are also renewed. We help business owners decide which route makes the most sense after a detailed inspection.
Can you work around my business hours?
Yes. We regularly schedule projects during off-hours or weekends to keep operations running smoothly. Many West Chester facilities request phased work, where we section off small areas at a time to avoid downtime or blocking entrances.
Are your materials environmentally friendly?
Our roofing materials meet ENERGY STAR requirements and have low-VOC content. We also use reflective coatings that reduce heat absorption and help lower energy consumption. When possible, we recommend restoration over replacement to reduce landfill waste.
