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.

What people say

I had an outstanding experience with Blue Mountain Roofing when I hired them for a roof replacement at my property. The team was incredibly professional and communicated with me throughout the process. They arrived on time and completed the project within the estimated timeframe. The new roof they installed looks great, and I appreciate the quality workmanship. I would highly recommend Blue Mountain Roofing to anyone in need of a reliable and skilled roofing contractor.
The work performed by the Blue Mountain crew was excellent and was positively noted by my neighbors. We were very pleased with the workmanship and the professionalism of the crew, and the follow-up presentation. Kudos to all for a job well done. Thank you.
Blue Mountain Roofing recently replaced our tile roof. We were extremely pleased with the company. They explained the entire process to us before starting and took dozens of pictures throughout the work and showed us exactly what they were finding and how they were repairing it. They also have an excellent guarantee and follow-up program. And the price was the most reasonable we found after researching several companies and there were no "surprise" charges at the finish. The crew was respectful, professional and did an excellent job of cleaning of the work scene each day. We highly recommend them to anyone needing their tile roof repaired or replaced.
Blue Mountain was first class from beginning to the end of replacing the underlayment for my tile roof. Totally satisfied with their service and I would recommend them highly. Don't over pay, call them and have them give you an estimate. Friendly staff.
I highly recommend this company for fixing any roof. It took a long time to schedule the appoint but the service was on time, worked through holidays and the staff were very helpful
Asked about checking for a roof leak and was immediately pushed towards an "underlayment" solution without any guidance or checking of where the leak could be. Or, if that was the solution. Looks like a lot of happy customers from other reviews which was the reason I called them. But I was put off by the cavalier attitude to push an expensive underlayment "fix/solution" without even seeing the roof. Maybe you'll have better luck. I found four other companies to look at the problem before recommending a solution, sight unseen.
