Flat roofing is what separates experienced contractors from general roofers. The materials are different, the installation methods are different, and the failure points are different. Crofton Roofing & Maintenance has been installing flat roofs in Crofton for 16 years. We know what works and what doesn't in KY's climate.
Modified bitumen is our recommendation for residential flat roofs and high-traffic commercial applications. Two-ply torch-applied SBS system with a granulated cap sheet handles foot traffic, thermal cycling, and KY UV exposure. It's the toughest flat roof membrane for everyday abuse.
Our Flat Roofing Process
Free Evaluation
We inspect the membrane surface, seam integrity, flashing condition, penetration seals, drain function, and overall drainage pattern. Core samples reveal whether the existing insulation is dry or waterlogged. Full findings provided in a written report.
Your Options
We present options, not ultimatums. If a repair extends your flat roof 5-10 years, that might be the smartest investment right now. If the insulation is waterlogged and the membrane is failing, replacement is the answer. We lay out the facts.
Membrane Installation
Insulation board cut and installed with staggered joints. Membrane installed over insulation per manufacturer specs. All penetrations (pipes, vents, HVAC curbs) receive custom-fabricated flashing. Drains and scuppers cleared and properly connected to the new membrane system.
Final Inspection
Your flat roof gets a completion package: installation documentation, warranty certificates, drainage verification, and maintenance recommendations. We stand behind every flat roof we install in Crofton.

Why Choose Crofton Roofing & Maintenance for Flat Roofing?
Electronic Leak Detection
We use electronic testing to pinpoint flat roof leaks without destructive investigation. Find the source, fix the source, move on.
Specialized Flat Roof Crew
Flat roofing requires different skills and equipment than sloped roofing. Our flat roof crew does this work every week, hot-air welders, torch kits, and adhesive systems are their daily tools.
Core Sampling & Testing
Before recommending replacement or coating, we core sample the roof to check insulation moisture. Waterlogged insulation means tear-off. Dry insulation means options.
Manufacturer Warranties
15-20 year manufacturer warranties on new flat roof installations. Coating systems warrantied for 10-15 years. All backed by certified installation.
