Flat Roofing Services in Midland, ON
We install, repair, and maintain flat roofing systems that stand up to Ontario winters and summer heat.
Flat Roof Systems Built for Midland Weather
Flat roofs take a beating here. Snow loads, ice dams, UV exposure - your roof sees it all. We work with TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen because they're proven in this climate. Each material has strengths. TPO reflects heat and resists punctures. EPDM is flexible in cold snaps. Modified bitumen handles foot traffic if you need roof access.
Most flat roofs on homes in Midland are over garages, additions, or modern builds. We've done hundreds in town and out to Penetanguishene and Tay. Proper drainage matters more than people think. Ponding water cuts roof life in half. We slope the deck or add tapered insulation so water moves to drains and scuppers.
If you're not sure what you have up there, we'll come take a look. Sometimes a repair buys you five more years. Sometimes the membrane's shot and you need a full tear-off. We'll tell you straight which one it is.
Flat Roof Repair That Actually Lasts
Leaks don't always show up where water's coming in. It can travel along the deck before it drips into your ceiling. We trace it back to the source - usually a seam failure, flashing gap, or puncture. Small repairs we can patch same-day. Larger issues might need a section replaced.
Common problems we fix: blistering from trapped moisture, cracking at seams, failed caulking around vents and pipes, damaged flashing where the flat roof meets a wall. If you've got an older tar-and-gravel roof, those eventually need more than patches. We handle Roof Repair across all types, but flat roofs need someone who knows membrane systems.
We don't just slap tar on it and call it done. You get a proper repair with compatible materials and a warranty you can count on.
New Flat Roof Installation
Installing a flat roof right means starting with a solid deck. We check for rot, reinforce if needed, then build up the layers - insulation, vapour barrier, membrane, and flashing. Every seam gets welded or adhered per manufacturer spec. Corners and penetrations are where most roofers cut corners. We don't.
You'll choose between fully adhered, mechanically attached, or ballasted systems. Fully adhered is cleanest and works great on residential. Mechanically attached is faster on bigger areas. Ballasted uses stone or pavers - less common on homes but sometimes the right call. We'll walk you through what makes sense for your building and budget.
Timeline's usually 2-4 days for a typical garage or addition roof. Weather can push that if it rains. We protect the interior with tarps if we have to leave it open overnight. Most jobs in Midland and over to Victoria Harbour go smooth - tear off in the morning, new roof sealed up by end of day two.
Maintenance That Prevents Bigger Problems
Flat roofs need eyes on them once a year. We clear drains, check seams, reseal penetrations, and catch small issues before they become leaks. A $200 service call beats a $3,000 repair every time. Most homeowners forget about their flat roof until water's dripping. Don't be that person.
If you've got a Shingle Roofing system on the main house and a flat roof over the garage, we handle both. Same visit, one invoice. We also work with Metal Roofing if you're thinking about a standing-seam option - though that's a different animal than true flat systems.
Set up annual maintenance and we'll remind you when it's time. Simple as that.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a flat roof last in Midland?
TPO and EPDM typically last 20-30 years if installed right and maintained. Modified bitumen runs 15-25 years. Older tar-and-gravel roofs might only give you 10-15. Climate matters - our freeze-thaw cycles are hard on membranes. Annual inspections and clearing snow buildup add years to any flat roof. If yours is over 20 years old and leaking, replacement usually makes more sense than patching.
Can you install a flat roof in winter?
We can, but it's not ideal. Most membrane adhesives need temps above 5°C to bond properly. We've done winter installs with cold-weather products when it's urgent, but spring through fall is better. If you've got an active leak in January, we'll tarp it or do a temporary repair to get you through until weather cooperates. Emergency repairs happen year-round - full installs we prefer to schedule in warmer months.
Do flat roofs always leak?
No. That's a myth from poorly installed roofs in the '70s and '80s. Modern flat roofing materials and proper installation techniques make leaks rare. The key is correct slope for drainage, quality flashing, and sealed seams. We see leaks on flat roofs that were done cheap or by roofers who don't specialize in membrane systems. A well-built flat roof from JR Roofing won't leak if you keep up with basic maintenance.
