FLAT ROOF IN Plantation
Plantation's dense commercial corridors along Broward Boulevard, Peters Road, and the University Drive intersection house hundreds of commercial buildings with flat roof systems. Many of these buildings date to the 1970s-1990s and carry flat roofs that have been patched, coated, and repaired over decades.

Plantation's dense commercial corridors along Broward Boulevard, Peters Road, and the University Drive intersection house hundreds of commercial buildings with flat roof systems. Many of these buildings date to the 1970s-1990s and carry flat roofs that have been patched, coated, and repaired over decades. DR Construction and Roofing helps Plantation commercial property owners decide between continued repair, coating restoration, or full replacement based on each building's specific roof condition and budget reality.
Plantation's commercial flat roof stock includes some of the most heavily patched roofs in our service area. Buildings with multiple repair histories may have compromised insulation and deck conditions beneath the surface membrane. Core sampling during assessment reveals the full picture. The City of Plantation Building Division handles flat roof permits. Energy code compliance for insulation R-value is enforced during full replacements.

What's Included in Flat Roof
TPO Membrane Systems
Single-ply thermoplastic membrane with heat-welded seams. Energy-efficient white surface reflects UV and reduces cooling loads.
Modified Bitumen Systems
Multi-ply asphalt membrane system with proven long-term performance for commercial and residential flat roofs.
Drainage Assessment and Correction
Evaluation of existing drainage and correction of ponding issues through tapered insulation, additional drains, or slope modifications.
Roof Coating and Restoration
Silicone or acrylic roof coatings that extend existing flat roof life by 10-15 years at a fraction of replacement cost.
Insulation and Energy Upgrades
Polyiso or EPS insulation board installation above the deck for thermal performance and energy code compliance.
Our Flat RoofProcess
Roof Survey
We assess the existing flat roof system, check for ponding water, membrane failures, and drainage issues. Core samples may be taken to evaluate insulation condition.
System Recommendation
Based on building use, budget, and long-term goals, we recommend TPO, modified bitumen, EPDM, or built-up systems with specific insulation and drainage specifications.
Drainage Design
Florida rain volume demands proper drainage on flat roofs. We verify or redesign internal drains, scuppers, and slope to eliminate ponding.
Installation
Membrane installation with proper seam welding (TPO) or torch application (modified bitumen). All penetrations flashed and sealed. Insulation installed if specified.
Flood Testing
Where appropriate, we flood-test completed installations to verify watertight integrity before final sign-off.

Flat Roof in Plantation: FAQs
My Plantation commercial roof has been patched many times. Should I keep repairing or replace it?
If a flat roof has been patched repeatedly, the underlying insulation is likely saturated and the deck may have deteriorated beneath the patches. At this point, additional patches are temporary fixes with diminishing returns. A full tear-off with new insulation and membrane is the lasting solution. We core-sample to determine whether your roof has reached that threshold.
What is the best flat roof material for Plantation buildings?
TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is the most popular choice for Plantation flat roofs due to its energy efficiency, weld-sealed seams, and UV resistance. Modified bitumen is a strong alternative for buildings needing a proven multi-ply system. The best choice depends on your building, budget, and long-term plans.
How long does a flat roof last in Broward County?
A properly installed TPO or modified bitumen flat roof lasts 20-30 years in Broward County. Built-up roofs can last longer but cost more upfront. Professional coating can extend any of these systems by 10-15 years. The key is proper installation and regular maintenance.
Can you fix ponding water on my flat roof in Plantation?
Yes. Ponding water is the #1 cause of premature flat roof failure. We correct drainage issues through tapered insulation, additional drain installations, or scupper modifications. This is part of every flat roof project we do in Plantation.
