Flat Roofs in Tucson and the Surrounding Areas

The term “flat roof” is somewhat of a misnomer, as they aren’t completely flat. All roofs need a slight slope to drain water. Flat roofs typically feature a low slope of one-fourth to one-half inch per foot. Commercial buildings commonly feature flat roofs, although some residential homes do as well. At Blue Mountain Roofing, our experienced team works on all types of flat roofs in the greater Tucson area. We specialize in the repair and replacement of rubberized roofing systems, spray polyurethane foam (SPF) roofing, and elastomeric roof coatings.

Rubberized Roofing Systems

Rubberized roofing systems are a type of membrane roofing, also known as a single-ply membrane. Rubber roofing consists of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM). This is a synthetic rubber material that provides a waterproof barrier on top of the insulation boards installed on the roof. After installing the EPDM, our roofers seal the seams to prevent water leaks. Blue Mountain Roofing often recommends the EPDM system for flat roofs because it offers the following qualities:

Affordable:

EPDM is the flat roofing material of choice for many residential and commercial clients because it’s available at a relatively low price point compared to other roofing systems.

Eco-friendly:

EPDM is often manufactured from recycled materials. At the end of its lifespan, it is 100% recyclable.

Lightweight:

Because the rubber sheets are so lightweight, the roof won’t require any added reinforcement.

Energy-efficient:

Most EPDM roofs are black. However, in hot climates, we recommend white EPDM sheets that reflect the sunlight and help keep the building cool.

Fire-resistant:

It’s nearly impossible to ignite an EPDM membrane, and in fact, they can help inhibit the progression of a building fire.
In addition, EPDM is long-lasting. Most EPDM roofs will last about 20 to 35 years, although some repairs may be necessary from time to time. Our roofing company in Tucson provides prompt and affordable EPDM roof repairs.

Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) Roofing

Despite the name, spray polyurethane foam is actually applied as a liquid. It then expands into a protective foam. One of the reasons why Blue Mountain Roofing often recommends SPF is that it’s easily applied to all shapes of roofs, including those with irregular features that pose a risk of water leaks. The SPF material readily adheres to these irregular features, effectively preventing water damage to the building. Note that SPF cannot form a complete roof by itself; it must be applied to an existing roof. We recommend SPF for the following reasons:
  • Longevity : An SPF coating will protect your existing roof and may allow it to last for up to 50 years.
  • Versatility : We can apply spray polyurethane foam to all types of roofing materials, including shingles, metal, and concrete tiles.
  • Energy efficiency : SPF will help your building stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

Elastomeric Roof Coatings

To give your building extra protection from the elements, Blue Mountain Roofing recommends installing an elastomeric roof coating. This coating is applied as a liquid, much like paint, providing a seamless layer on top of an existing roof. Its main purpose is to protect buildings from roof leaks and, subsequently, water damage. However, an elastomeric roof coating will also add extra protection from strong winds and UV rays. The average lifespan of elastomeric coatings is 10 to 20 years. Blue Mountain Roofing specializes in commercial and residential flat roofing systems. Our experienced roofers provide both repairs and full roof replacements , with free estimates available.

I highly recommend Blue Mountain Roofing, Excellent Company!! Monti came out gave me a quote and worked with my schedule and came after hours. I had a new roof within 3 days for our first meeting. Roof done in one day and you couldn't even tell they were there. After completion I discovered the exhaust fan wasn't working, I called Monte and returned the next moring (again accomadating my schedule). The fan probably as old as my home so wasn't really a big deal and I told him that. He insisted he would fix it He made another trip and fixes. Monte goes above and beyond for his customer's . Five Stars for customer service as well as final product.
Response from the owner: Thanks Echo! We really do try to make our customers happy so we appreciate this detailed review!Thanks again!
Excellent workmanship and a great price. The crews were very careful in cleaning up the debris during their project. Highly recommend. Joey was very good at documenting with pictures the damage found on the roof and photos of their repair work done during the weeklong process.
Response from the owner: Thank you Barbara we appreciate the review and will pass it on to the guys.
After getting several bids in June of 2024, we chose Blue Mountain to replace the underlayment of our roof and do a few small repairs. They were great to work with—the price was fair, their crew got the work done quickly, and the clean up was thorough. The roof has been problem free since then.That might have been the end of the story, except Mother Nature unleashed a huge microburst of wind on our house last week. The wind came out of nowhere, was loud, and it shook the house. The photo shows the damage. We called Blue Mountain to have them come out and initially they said they were booked up, but had us send the photo to Monte. He came immediately, on a Friday night, after his workday was done to evaluate the damage and stabilize the area so there’d be no further damage. He returned to fix the damage this week.Monte is one of those guys who cares about the work he does and the people he interacts with. That kind of customer service used to be common, but it’s rare these days. We highly recommend Blue Mountain when your roof needs attention!
Response from the owner: Hello Debbie, and thank you for the great review, and the repeat business! I am very proud to have Monte on my team, we are like brothers. We are a local family business, and I grew up with Monte as well as Mark, who is in the office typically. Jesse is my son who was out there with Monte.Monte is very sincere and an excellent example of having someone that cares about what they are doing. He pushed to have you guys get done ahead, due to the urgent situation, by going and working on the roof himself to make it possible. It is not his typical role, but we needed to get the job done in lieu of the weather!Thanks again we appreciate the business!
This was a three day projectCleaning and repair of a previous companies shoddy work and resurfacing roofs of a two story townhome.Devonte did all the work himself and the final project was outstanding. He was on time and completed the three day job within the time that was agree upon. Devonte went above and beyond in the service rendered even prepping our back patio to protected it from any debris that might fall from the roofs. He took time to explain what his objective was for the day and gave us a detailed report at end of each day.Blue Mountain Roofing gave us outstanding customer service both by phone and in person.The Supervisior Monte Hiser was always available to answer questions and explain services rendered. He took photos both before to show us what needed to be done and after so we could see the completed projects.We would recommend this company for their outstanding customer service and work ethic
Response from the owner: Thank you very much, Betty!We are very proud of DeVonte. He has been with us for about six years now, and understood very little of the industry when he started as a laborer. He is actually the foreman of a crew that does multiple types of roofing, and he does not typically work alone.We are a family business and he has become part of the family.Thank you again for the recommendation!
The excellence in every way was so impressive, from the original assessment and estimate informing, explaining details, through all the precise details involved with removing the old roof and installing a new metal roof in a very professional way. All workers were courteous, worked hard and cleaned up each day. I highlyrecommend them.Sheryl North
Response from the owner: Thank you very much Sheryl. Your 7,200 square foot metal roof replacement was a notch on the belt for the boys with all of the double-miter cuts.I have to agree that it looks and functions amazingly!Thank you for trusting us with this project and sharing the quality of craftsmanship!
