Flat Roof Replacement in Edmonton

There is a kind of flat roof we meet across Edmonton every month: one that has been patched so many times the patches have patches. A tar-and-gravel roof on a 1950s house in Highlands with three generations of coating on it. A rear addition in Ottewell where the membrane has blistered and the deck feels soft underfoot. At some point another repair only buys a season. Roof It Right handles flat roof replacement in Edmonton for those roofs, and only for those roofs. We work in this city every day, and if yours can still be repaired properly, that is what we will recommend.

Professional Flat Roof Replacement Services in Edmonton

Replacing a low-slope roof means rebuilding the waterproofing from the deck up. Our work includes each of these stages.

Worn Membrane, Gravel and Soaked Insulation Taken Off

We strip the worn membrane, the gravel if there is any, and all insulation that has taken on water. Covering over saturated material traps moisture and shortens the life of whatever goes on top.

Deck Repair and Better Slope to the Drains

With the deck exposed, we replace soft sheathing and correct the low spots that caused ponding. Where needed, tapered insulation is used to move water toward drains and scuppers.

A New Torch-On, EPDM or TPO Roof

For flat roof replacement in Edmonton we install SBS modified bitumen, EPDM rubber or TPO, depending on the building, how the roof is used and what will be visible. We explain why we suggest one over another.

New Flashing, Edge Metal and Drain Connections

The details decide whether a flat roof lasts. Wall flashing, parapet caps, edge metal and drain or scupper connections are all renewed, not reused.

Benefits of Timely Flat Roof Replacement for Edmonton Homes

Sound Wood Under the Membrane Stays Sound

Replace a worn-out membrane while the wood beneath is sound and the job stays a roofing job. Wait two more winters and it may involve carpentry, ceiling repair and insulation as well.

Warmer Rooms Under the Roof

Older low-slope roofs in central Edmonton often have little insulation. A replacement is the chance to bring the roof assembly up to a better standard, which you will feel in January.

Ponding Problems Solved for Good

Patches cannot change the shape of a roof. A rebuild can. Correcting slope and drainage during flat roof replacement in Edmonton removes the standing water that wore out the last membrane.

No More Spring Leak Watch

Owners of failing flat roofs spend every thaw checking ceilings. A new, properly detailed membrane lets you stop thinking about the roof when the snow starts to melt.

Our Flat Roof Replacement Process

1. Assess Whether Replacement Is Warranted

We examine the membrane, seams, flashing and drainage, check for wet insulation and soft decking, and look at interior staining. Photos record it all. A roof with isolated problems gets a repair quote, not a replacement quote.

2. Present the Evidence and the System Options

We take you through the pictures and explain why the roof has reached its limit. Then we compare suitable membranes for your house and provide a free estimate drawn from the inspection.

3. Strip, Rebuild and Waterproof

We schedule flat roof replacement in Edmonton around a dry forecast, remove the old roof in sections so the house is never left open overnight, repair the deck, and install insulation, membrane and flashing.

4. Inspect the Finished Roof With You

When the last detail is sealed we clean the site, photograph the completed roof and explain the simple upkeep, such as keeping drains clear, that will help it last.

Edmonton Flat Roof Replacement FAQs

Will my insurer cover a new flat roof?

Insurance generally responds to sudden damage, such as hail or a fallen tree, and not to age. Your policy and adjuster decide. We provide a photo record and a written assessment showing what failed and why.

Torch-on SBS is a common choice on Edmonton houses because it is tough and handles foot traffic. EPDM and TPO suit certain roofs well too. We recommend based on your roof’s size, shape, use and visibility.

Late spring through early fall, when we can count on dry days and membranes are easier to work. A roof that fails in winter can be replaced then with cold-weather methods, though short days and snow slow the job.

Yes. The work happens outside, and we close up the roof at the end of each day. Expect noise overhead, and for torch-on work we ask that windows near the roof stay shut.

That depends on the system, on drainage and on upkeep. A roof that sheds water, has sound flashing and gets its drains cleared each fall will outlast a neglected one by many years. We give a realistic expectation for the system you choose.

Clear patios and walkways beside the roof, move vehicles away from where debris will come down, and cover items stored in a garage if that is the roof being replaced. Let us know about rooftop planters or decking that must be lifted.
