Expert Flat Roofing Services in Lake County
Flat and low-slope roofs require specialized expertise different from pitched roofing. The key challenges are drainage design and membrane integrity—get these right and your flat roof will perform for decades.
Choosing the right flat roofing system depends on your building type, traffic requirements, and budget. Energy-efficient TPO? Chemical-resistant PVC? Economical EPDM? Traditional built-up roofing? Each system has ideal applications where it excels.
At Pro Specialty Services, we install all major flat roofing systems and help you select the best match for your situation. We handle both commercial buildings and residential flat roofs like Florida rooms and modern home designs.

Why Flat Roofing Requires Expertise
Drainage is everything with flat roofs. Even 'flat' roofs should have slight slope toward drains. Ponding water is the enemy—it accelerates membrane degradation and eventually leads to leaks. Proper installation ensures water moves toward drains efficiently.
The right membrane selection matters for your specific application. We match the system to your building's needs, considering factors like foot traffic, chemical exposure, energy goals, and budget.
Detail work separates good flat roofing from failures. Every penetration, every edge, every seam must be watertight. Florida's intense rain events will find any weakness. Our experienced installers understand that perfection in details is what makes flat roofs perform.
Flat Roofing Systems: Complete Comparison
We install every major flat roofing system. Here's how to choose the right one:
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) — Best Energy Efficiency
White reflective membrane that reduces cooling costs 20-30%. Heat-welded seams stronger than the membrane itself. Energy Star rated. Resists UV, chemicals, and algae. Lasts 20-30 years. Our most popular commercial choice.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) — Best Chemical Resistance
The only choice for restaurants and commercial kitchens. Grease and chemicals that destroy other membranes don't affect PVC. Self-extinguishing fire rating. Heat-welded seams. Lasts 25-30 years. Worth the premium for chemical exposure.
EPDM Rubber — Best Value & Track Record
Proven for 50+ years with exceptional durability. Flexible in temperature extremes. Easy to repair. Often the most economical flat roofing option. Black membrane (white available). Lasts 25-30 years.
Modified Bitumen — Best for High Traffic
Multi-layer asphalt system enhanced with polymers. Handles foot traffic and equipment better than single-ply. APP or SBS modifiers for Florida heat or flexibility. Torch-applied or self-adhered. Lasts 20-25 years.
Built-Up Roofing (BUR) — Maximum Redundancy
100+ years of proven performance. 3-5 ply construction provides multiple waterproofing layers. Superior puncture resistance. Gravel, cap sheet, or coating surface options. Lasts 20-30 years.
Spray Foam (SPF) — Best Insulation + Waterproofing
Seamless insulation and waterproofing in one application. R-6.5 per inch—highest R-value available. Self-flashing around penetrations. Can be applied over existing roofs. With coating maintenance, lasts indefinitely.

Which System Is Right for Your Building?
Different applications call for different systems. Here's a quick guide:
Maximum Energy Efficiency?
TPO membrane reflects up to 90% of UV rays—reduces cooling costs 20-30% in Florida. Best choice for large, sun-exposed roofs.
Restaurant or Commercial Kitchen?
PVC membrane is the only option—grease exhaust destroys all other membranes over time. Worth every penny in food service.
Budget-Conscious Project?
EPDM rubber offers excellent durability at the lowest cost. 50+ year track record. Great for warehouses and budget-sensitive projects.
Heavy Foot Traffic & Equipment?
Modified bitumen handles maintenance traffic and rooftop equipment service. Multi-layer construction is walk-ready.
Need Insulation Too?
Spray foam (SPF) provides waterproofing and maximum insulation together. Often no tear-off needed on re-roofing.
Specification Requires BUR?
Built-up roofing's multi-layer redundancy still meets many institutional and government specs. Proven and reliable.

What Our Customers Say
"PSS installed TPO roofing on our retail plaza. Professional installation, minimal disruption to tenants, and the energy savings have been noticeable. Highly recommend for commercial properties."
"Our previous roof kept failing near the exhaust vents. PSS installed PVC and explained why it's the only option for restaurants. Four years later, still perfect."
"PSS installed EPDM on our storage facility buildings. Great value, professional installation, and the roofs are performing perfectly. Exactly what we needed for our budget."

Common Questions
TPO and EPDM typically last 20-30 years; PVC 25-30 years; modified bitumen 20-25 years; BUR 20-30 years. Spray foam can last indefinitely with coating maintenance. Proper installation and regular maintenance extend all lifespans.
TPO is generally best—its white surface reflects up to 90% of solar radiation, reducing cooling costs 20-30%. Spray foam provides the highest insulation R-value per inch if adding insulation is a priority.
PVC is necessary for restaurants, commercial kitchens, and any building with grease exhaust. Cooking oils and grease destroy TPO and EPDM over time but don't affect PVC. For non-food-service, TPO is usually more cost-effective.
Yes, when properly installed with adequate drainage. We ensure proper slope to drains (at least 1/4 inch per foot) and use membranes rated for Florida's conditions. Ponding water is the enemy—proper drainage prevents it.
Initial costs are often similar or lower than pitched roofs. Flat roofs typically require more maintenance over time, but the total cost depends on your building and chosen system.
Many flat roofs can be repaired or restored if caught early. Spray foam can often be applied over existing roofs. We'll inspect honestly and recommend repair if viable, or replacement if truly needed.
Modified bitumen and BUR handle traffic best due to their multi-layer construction. For single-ply, thicker membranes (80-mil TPO or EPDM) hold up better. Walk pads can be added to protect any membrane.
Proper installation includes adequate slope to drains. We also install tapered insulation systems when needed to create proper drainage patterns. For existing ponding issues, silicone coating handles standing water.
