Flat Roofing in Shafter, California

The flat roof covers the garages, the additions, and the commercial buildings across Shafter. The low slope needs the right membrane for the valley heat. Flat roofing in Shafter installs and repairs the roofs that handle the Kern County climate.

Why Flat Roofs Need the Right System in Shafter

• The ponding water — the low slope holds the water and the membrane degrades
• The valley heat — the dark membrane absorbs the sun and the blisters form
• The expansion and the contraction — the heat and the cold cycle the seams
• The dust and the debris — the agricultural dust settles on the flat surface
• The foot traffic — the maintenance visits can damage the membrane

How We Install Flat Roofs in Shafter

1. Inspect the deck — check the condition and the slope of the roof
2. Prepare the surface — clean and prime the deck for the membrane
3. Install the insulation — the polyiso board improves the energy efficiency
4. Install the membrane — the TPO or the modified bitumen in the manufacturer’s pattern
5. Install the flashing — the edge metal, the pipe boots, and the wall flashing
6. Test the system — the flood test or the leak test confirms the integrity

Preventing Roof Problems in Shafter

• Check for the ponding water after the rain — the standing water degrades the membrane
• Clear the dust and the debris regularly — the agricultural dust settles on the roof
• Check the seams and the flashings — the heat and the cold cycle them
• Limit the foot traffic — the membrane punctures are the common leak point

Expert tip: in Shafter, the flat roof needs the drainage to work. The ponding water degrades the membrane faster than the sun. The slope and the drains need to carry the water off the roof.
