The Advantages of Modern Flat Roofing
This roofing type has evolved significantly, offering numerous benefits for properties with low-slope designs. These systems are highly efficient in maximizing usable space, often ideal for rooftop decks, HVAC units, or green roofs.
Beyond functionality, contemporary roof material options like EPDM provide exceptional durability and weather resistance, standing up to the elements effectively.
The straightforward installation process and the longevity of these materials make flat roofing a cost-effective and reliable choice for many property owners.

Our roofing installation process is meticulous and thorough, designed for optimal performance and leak prevention.

Our team expertly prepares the substrate, addressing any imperfections before carefully applying the chosen membrane, such as EPDM.
We pay close attention to critical areas like seams and flashing, ensuring a watertight seal. Furthermore, we can integrate essential components like a proper roof drain system to ensure efficient water runoff, preventing pooling and potential leaks.
We also have experience working around and installing durable flat roof skylight systems, enhancing natural light without compromising the roof’s integrity.
Five-Star Roofing: What Our Clients Say
“Great team. Solomon is great.
He was great at fixing all the minor issues and making up any work that was not completed. I did not have a rush schedule, but when rain was coming, the Astro team jumped into action!
I had lots of little modifications with drains and soffit, creating that they didn’t mind doing, and made it look great!
Grazie mille Solomon and Dario!!!!!”
-Shawn C.
Shafter, Oakland, CA
“I wanted to share what an amazing experience I had with Astro Roofing.
From the estimate to the construction and afterwards, Salomon and Dario were professional, prompt, and tidy.
I highly recommend getting multiple quotes, but be assured, Astro Roofing was very competitive. They outlined everything included in replacing the roof. There were two change orders (solar roof fans and gutter guards) that I’m very glad I purchased. Doing this during a roof replacement lowered the cost and made for a simple and quick installation.
I very rarely say this, but if I could give six stars, I would.“

“They were timely, professional, and clean.
Salomon and his team were awesome.
I was doing a full roof replacement and found them on Yelp. They came out quickly to give a quote. Answered all my questions quickly and with a high level of detail. Worked with me on scheduling to find a time that worked for us.
When they came onsite, they were timely, professional, and clean. They kept me up to date on progress and completed the job with no issues in 3 days.
I would strongly recommend them!

FAQ’s About Flat roofing
How long does a flat roof last?
The lifespan varies depending on the material used and the quality of installation. Flat roofing is known for its durability and can last 20 to 30 years or more with proper maintenance. Regular inspections and timely repairs significantly contribute to extending its service life.
Are flat roofs prone to leaks?
Modern flat roofing technologies and materials have significantly improved their waterproof capabilities. Proper installation, including correct flashing around penetrations and effective roof drain systems, is crucial to prevent pooling water and ensure a watertight seal.
Can a flat roof be walked on?
Generally, a flat roof can be walked on for maintenance purposes, such as inspections or flat roof drain cleaning. However, it’s not typically designed for regular foot traffic unless specifically built as a walkable deck or green roof with appropriate reinforcements and protective layers over the flat roof material.
How do you drain water from a flat roof?
Water is drained from a flat roof primarily through a designed slope (even if minimal) that directs water towards internal drains, scuppers, or edge gutters. A properly installed flat roof drain system, often featuring multiple drain points, is crucial in preventing water pooling, which can lead to premature aging and potential leaks in the roofing membrane.
Can you put a skylight on a flat roof?
Yes, you can install a roof skylight. They are designed specifically for low-slope applications and come with various features to ensure watertightness and energy efficiency. Choosing the right type of flat roof skylight and having it professionally installed is essential to avoid leaks and maximize natural light in the interior space.
