Flat roofs have long been used to create an architectural statement. They\u2019re found on modern, Spanish-style homes and, in some cases, historic homes. In some Southwestern states, nearly half the homes have flat roofs.<\/p>\n
Flat roofs are easier to construct and safer to stand on than sloped roofs. But if you have a flat roof, you know they\u2019re inherently problematic. They are prone to leaks because rain and snow don\u2019t slide off as easily, and they don\u2019t last as long.<\/p>\n
Flat roofs can cost anywhere from $200 to $700 per square<\/strong> to install (a square equals 100 square feet). For a roof with 2,500 square feet or 25 squares, which is fairly typical, that\u2019s anywhere from $5,000 to $17,500. <\/strong><\/p>\n Tell us some details about your needs and get connected to pre-screened companies in your area.

This is important because the type of roof has a lot to do with the price. The five types of flat roofs are: built-up, single-ply membrane, spray polyurethane foam (SPF), asphalt roll and flat-seamed metal roofing.<\/p>\n Contrary to what most people think, flat roofs do have a small gradient, otherwise they would have no way to shed water. And despite the inherent problems with flat roofs, modern materials last longer than their predecessors.<\/p>\n Flat roof prices vary widely based on geographic location. In a state like Arizona, where they are plentiful, you can expect to pay less than $300 per square<\/strong> in most cases. In New England, where they aren\u2019t as common, $600 <\/strong>or more per square is standard. These prices include installation but not tear-off of the old roof.<\/p>\n Also, budget an extra $50 to $100 per square<\/strong> if the old roof needs to be torn off.<\/p>\n Due to the inherent problems with flat roofs, you always want to choose a contractor with experience building them. Better yet – look for a contractor that specializes in flat roofs. If you live in an area where flat roofs are common, you should have plenty of options. If flat roofs are not common where you live, choices may be limited.<\/p>\n Always seek multiple quotes before hiring any contractor. Disregard any that seem suspiciously low or high. Make sure the company you choose is licensed and insured, and ask for proof. And be sure to check the company\u2019s track record with organizations like the Better Business Bureau and the National Association of Home Builders.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [ad_1] Everything You Need To Know About Flat Roofs Flat roofs have long been used to create an architectural statement.
