Flat roofing is what separates experienced contractors from general roofers. The materials are different, the installation methods are different, and the failure points are different. South Gardiner Roofing & Maintenance has been installing flat roofs in South Gardiner for 16 years. We know what works and what doesn't in ME's climate.
Our Flat Roofing Process
Free Evaluation
Before recommending repair, coating, or replacement, we inspect the entire flat roof system. Membrane condition, insulation integrity, and drainage patterns all factor into our recommendation.
System Recommendation
Your proposal includes membrane type, insulation R-value, drainage design, and warranty coverage. If multiple options make sense, we price all of them so you can compare and choose what fits your budget and goals.
Professional Installation
Insulation board cut and installed with staggered joints. Membrane installed over insulation per manufacturer specs. All penetrations (pipes, vents, HVAC curbs) receive custom-fabricated flashing. Drains and scuppers cleared and properly connected to the new membrane system.
Completion & Warranty
After installation, we verify drainage by checking water flow to all drain points. No ponding. Every seam tested. Manufacturer warranty registered, 15-20 year coverage depending on system and build-up.

About Our South Gardiner Flat Roofing Services
Modified bitumen is our recommendation for residential flat roofs and high-traffic commercial applications. Two-ply torch-applied SBS system with a granulated cap sheet handles foot traffic, thermal cycling, and ME UV exposure. It's the toughest flat roof membrane for everyday abuse.
Flat roof leaks usually happen at penetrations, seams, or flashing details, not in the middle of the membrane. We locate the source with electronic leak detection or flood testing, repair it properly, and address the root cause. If the membrane is shot, we recommend replacement, not a band-aid.
