What Are Low-Slope Roofs?
A low-slope roof has a pitch of less than 3:12, meaning for every 12 horizontal inches, the roof rises less than 3 inches vertically. These types of roofs are also known as flat roof systems, although they are not completely flat. The slight slope allows for water drainage, which is critical for preventing water pooling and potential damage.
Common materials used for low-slope roofs include modified bitumen roofing and built-up roofing (BUR), both of which provide durability and water resistance. These materials are specifically designed to handle the challenges that come with low-slope designs, such as slower water runoff and increased exposure to the elements.
Low-Slope Roof Repair
Even the most well-built roof can experience wear and tear over time, especially in a climate as demanding as South Florida. At Paul Bange Roofing, we specialize in low-slope roof repair, addressing issues like leaks, ponding water, and cracks in the roofing membrane. Our team conducts a thorough inspection to identify the root cause of any problem and offers tailored solutions that restore the roof’s integrity. By catching and repairing small problems early, you can extend the life of your roof and avoid costly replacements in the future. Common issues we address include:
- Leaks due to punctures or failed seams.
- Water pooling caused by inadequate drainage.
- Damage from strong winds or heavy rains.

At Paul Bange Roofing, our team of professional low-slope roofing contractors is experienced in installing a variety of flat roof systems, including modified bitumen roofing and built-up roofing (BUR). We use only high-quality materials that are designed to withstand South Florida’s intense sun, high humidity, and frequent storms.

During the installation process, we focus on:
- Ensuring proper drainage to prevent water accumulation.

Low-Slope Roof Maintenance
Proper low-slope roof maintenance is key to ensuring your roof remains in excellent condition for years to come. At Paul Bange Roofing, we offer customized maintenance programs that include regular inspections, debris removal, and proactive repairs. Our maintenance services are designed to prevent common issues like water pooling and membrane damage before they become major problems. For both commercial and residential low-slope roofing, we recommend scheduling an inspection at least once a year, particularly before and after hurricane season in South Florida. A regular maintenance plan can help:
- Identify potential problems early.
- Maximize the lifespan of your flat roof system.
- Reduce long-term repair costs.
Types of Low-Slope Roofing Systems
Low-slope roofs can be constructed using various materials, each offering unique benefits in terms of durability, cost, and energy efficiency. At Paul Bange Roofing, we specialize in installing and maintaining two of the most popular low-slope systems:
Modified Bitumen Roofing
Modified bitumen is a durable, multi-layered material that is highly resistant to weathering. It consists of reinforced roof membranes that are modified with plastic or rubber additives for enhanced performance. Ideal for both commercial and residential applications, modified bitumen roofing offers excellent protection against leaks and UV damage.
Built-Up Roofing (BUR)
A traditional choice for low-slope roofs, built-up roofing (BUR) is composed of multiple layers of asphalt and reinforcing fabrics. These layers are topped with a protective gravel surface, providing superior durability and insulation. BUR systems are particularly well-suited for commercial low-slope roofing due to their ability to withstand heavy foot traffic and extreme weather conditions.
