Our Commercial Flat Roofing Services
Niagara Roofmasters Inc. is a locally owned and operated roofing company. We install, maintain, and replace flat roofing systems for commercial, industrial, and multi-unit buildings. Our flat roofing solutions cover everything, from new builds to aging commercial roofs needing repair. We provide customized roofing services based on your building’s size, purpose, and roofing structure. Here are the services we offer.
Commercial Flat Roof Installation Services
Commercial flat roof installations require precision, experience, and the proper installation method. At Niagara Roofmasters Inc., we help commercial clients choose a flat roofing system that fits their budget, building use, and long-term goals. We’re certified, experienced, and known across Beamsville for the high-performance flat roofs we install.
If you choose to install a flat roof for your commercial building or industrial facility, you can opt for the following installation options.
Mechanically Attached Roofing Systems
Mechanically attached flat roofs are popular because they’re budget-friendly and durable. During installation, our technicians will unroll single-ply membranes and secure them to insulation boards using specialized screws to fasten it into the roof deck below. This keeps the membrane in place even in high-wind areas. It also makes inspection and future repairs easier.
RhinoBond®3 Application
Our team often recommends RhinoBond®3 installations for property owners who want a roof installation approach that combines mechanically attached and adhered flat roof systems. We use induction welding technology to secure the membrane without penetrating its surface.
All our roofers are trained to install flat roofs using the RhinoBond® method. This installation method offers better wind uplift resistance and higher energy efficiency.
Adhered Flat Roof Systems
Our team uses strong adhesives to glue the waterproof membrane directly to the surface beneath. The surface could be insulation, concrete, or wood. This creates a clean, finished look with no visible fasteners. Adhered commercial flat roofs work well for roofs with unusual shapes or more complex detailing. Our team ensures the bond between the membrane and subsurface is secure and built to last.
Flat Roof Maintenance Services
Flat roofing systems need regular maintenance to stay watertight and functional. At Niagara Roofmasters Inc., we provide routine inspections and scheduled service plans to commercial building owners. During each visit, we inspect your roof to identify signs of damage, such as ponding water, cracks, loose seams, blocked drains, and early signs of membrane wear.
Identifying these issues early allows property owners to fix them and avoid unexpected leaks or costly emergency repairs. We also clean drains, remove debris, and reseal flashing when needed. Our team records each visit and keeps you informed with clear reports and practical maintenance recommendations.
Flat Roof Replacement Services
Flat roofs wear out over time, especially if they’re over 20 years old or have been repaired multiple times. Therefore, you should pay attention to signs of roof damage such as frequent leaks, membrane blistering, inefficient insulation, or visible sagging across the roof surface.
It’s recommended to let a professional assess the extent of any damage to your roof. If replacement is necessary, we’ll remove the old materials, inspect the substrate, and install a new roof system that fits your building and budget. Our experienced team works efficiently to minimize disruptions. We also back our work with strong warranties.
Benefits of Commercial Flat Roofing for Business
A flat roofing system is a smart investment for commercial property owners who need durable roof solutions. If you own or manage a commercial building, here are the benefits of upgrading to a flat roof system.
Economic Installation and Maintenance
Flat roof systems have simple designs that make installation easy. This often translates to lower labour costs (cost savings) and a faster project timeline compared to pitched roofing systems. In addition, maintaining a flat roof is cost-effective because they aren’t sloped and have fewer angles. That means professional inspections and repairs are neither complex nor time-consuming.
Extra Usable Space
Another benefit of a flat roof for a commercial property is that it creates extra space that you can transform into a valuable outdoor area. Whether you need a relaxation area for your employees, a rooftop garden, or space for solar panel installation, a flat roof increases the square footage of your property’s usable space.
Increases Energy Efficiency
Given Beamsville’s fluctuating weather elements, energy efficiency is often a priority for both residential and commercial property owners. Luckily, a flat roof can increase your energy savings because of its reflective properties.
If you have installed efficient insulation, the reflective roof materials (for flat roofs) can regulate indoor temperatures. This reduces the need for excessive heating (during the winter) or cooling (during the summer).
Easy Installation of Equipment
Nearly all commercial buildings require communication antennas, HVAC units, and exhaust systems. The flat surface of your flat roof makes installing and maintaining equipment easier and safer. You can strategically place the necessary equipment without the difficulties posed by sloped roofs.
In addition, flat roofs are easy and safer to access during routine roof inspections and maintenance. If you intend to upgrade to a flat roofing for your Beamsville commercial building, contact us today and discuss your project with a certified commercial roofing contractor.
Types of Commercial Flat Roofing Systems
At Niagara Roofmasters Inc., we install different types of flat roofs. Here are the common flat roofing materials we install in Beamsville business buildings.
EPDM Rubber Roofing Systems
The Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer roof is made of industrial-grade synthetic rubber. It’s a durable roofing option for flat and low-slope roofs. EPDM roofing is known for durability and resistance to damage associated with exposure to ultraviolet light. Remember, this roofing material requires regular inspections and periodic cleaning.
Modified Bitumen Roofing Systems
This is a modified version of the built-up roofing material. It combines a chemical polymer and asphalt into the BUR to improve flexibility and the ability to withstand temperature changes. Modified bitumen roofing membrane is durable due to its coarse surface and thickness. Therefore, it can withstand heavy foot traffic.
TPO Single Ply Roofing
Thermoplastic Polyolefin is a common single-ply roofing membrane in Beamsville business buildings. It is made of ethylene-propylene rubber and polypropylene. The roofing material comes in big rolls, and all seams are hot-air welded during installation. Remember, this single-ply roofing membrane is often white but can be manufactured in tan, grey, and other custom colours.
Built-Up Roofing (BUR)
BUR has been one of the most preferred flat roof materials in Beamsville for decades. It comprises three or four layers of ply sheets applied using hot asphalt adhesives. These layers are topped off by a flood coat or cap sheet of asphalt and granules. This redundant nature makes the BUR system resistant to damage associated with harsh weather elements.
Metal Roofing Systems
Metal roofs are the costliest flat roofing material for business buildings. However, these roofs can last 20-30 years or even longer. Metal is the most durable roofing material and reflects a lot of heat from the sun. While metal flat roofs have superior fire resistance, they are prone to rusting and leaks, particularly along the roof edges and seams.
Our Commercial Flat Roof Installation Process
At Niagara Roofmasters Inc., we pride ourselves on providing reliable flat roof installation, maintenance, and replacements to commercial and residential property owners in Beamsville. We have refined our service delivery process to ensure efficiency and durability for every flat roof we install or repair.
Step 1: Professional Roof Deck Inspection
Our team will start by inspecting the existing roof deck to identify any water damage, sagging, drainage issues, or surface deterioration. This helps us determine whether repairs are enough or a complete tear-off and replacement are needed. Remember, your roof deck should be strong enough to support your new flat roof.
Step 2: Recommending and Sourcing the Right Roofing Material
Once we understand your building’s roofing needs, we help you compare the pros of EPDM, TPO, modified bitumen, BUR, and metal roofing. We’ll consider factors like exposure to foot traffic, insulation requirements, and your property’s layout. Then, we source the materials directly from trusted manufacturers.
If you need flat roof repairs, our skilled roofing experts will ensure the patched areas match the existing system for consistency. You can also count on our roofing professionals for flat roof replacement at competitive prices.
Step 3: Installation, Repair, or Replacement
Our trained team handles every task precisely when applying hot-mopped asphalt, hot asphalt, or self-adhered membranes. We ensure every flat roof replacement, initial installation, or repair meets Ontario’s building code requirements. A dedicated project manager will keep your project on track, while our in-house roofers (not subcontractors) handle each phase of your flat roofing project.
Step 4: Final Inspection and Warranty
Before leaving your building, we’ll perform a detailed walkthrough to ensure that all aspects of your flat roof, from seams to flashing, are correctly sealed. Note that we’ll assess your new roof with you and answer your questions.
Every commercial flat roof we install comes with a strong manufacturer’s warranty, so you can feel confident in the quality and protection your new roof provides. Whether you need to fix minor flat roof leaks, replace an old roofing system, or install a new flat roof on a newly built commercial building, contact us and request a quote.
Cost of Commercial Flat Roofing Systems in Beamsville
The average cost of flat roof installation is $4,000. However, the exact cost of acquiring and installing a specific flat roofing system will depend on your roof size, the type of your preferred flat roof, and labour costs. The current condition of your roof will also affect the nature of labour required and the total cost of installing and repairing your commercial flat roof.
For example, if your roof’s deck is damaged, we’ll assess the level of the damage and recommend targeted fixes before we install a new roof. If you need repairs, the nature and extent of the damage to your flat roof will determine the labour hours required to address it.
Extensive damage to your roof deck will necessitate replacement before a new roof installation. The cost of labour for removing and disposing of the old roof deck can significantly increase the total cost of your project. In addition to the cost of labour, you must consider material-related costs. Here’s a cost breakdown for various flat roofing materials in Beamsville.
| Flat roofing material |
Estimated cost per square foot |
| TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) |
$6.90 to $11.20 |
| EPDM cost (single-ply) |
$4.50 to $8.50 |
| Modified bitumen |
