Tamarac has the highest concentration of flat roofs in our service area, a legacy of the city's retirement community architecture from the 1960s and 1970s.

Tamarac has the highest concentration of flat roofs in our service area, a legacy of the city's retirement community architecture from the 1960s and 1970s. Low-rise condo buildings in Tamarac Lakes, the Mainlands, and Colony West were built with flat and low-slope roofs that have been through multiple replacement cycles. These associations need a contractor who understands multi-building flat roof programs and can deliver consistent results across phased projects. DR Construction and Roofing manages Tamarac flat roof replacement programs for associations of all sizes.
Tamarac's condo flat roofs are typically managed by associations, requiring board approval, phased scheduling, and coordination across dozens of buildings. We present to boards, provide multi-building scope and pricing, and manage phased rollouts that spread cost over multiple budget cycles. Many Tamarac flat roofs are on their second or third system, and underlying insulation and deck condition must be assessed before new membrane goes on. The City of Tamarac Building Department handles flat roof permits.

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 Tamarac: FAQs
How does a flat roof replacement work for a Tamarac condo association?
We work directly with your board and property manager. We inspect all buildings, provide a prioritized replacement schedule, present options at a board meeting, and execute in phases that align with your budget and minimize resident disruption. Multi-building pricing delivers better per-unit costs than individual building contracts.
Can you coat our Tamarac condo flat roof instead of replacing it?
If the existing membrane is structurally sound with no widespread delamination, a professional silicone coating can extend its life by 10-15 years at 30-50% of replacement cost. We core-sample the existing system to verify it is a candidate for coating before recommending this approach. Not every roof qualifies, and we will tell you honestly.
What is the best flat roof material for Tamarac buildings?
TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is the most popular choice for Tamarac 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 Tamarac?
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 Tamarac.
