When it comes to picking out a new roof for your house you’ll recognize that steep-slope roofs are a very common style for many homes. It is an old and trusted style with many benefits such as better water flow and a reduction in snow and debris buildup.
However, if you’re looking for something different, a change-up from the norm then flat roofs might just be the thing that you’re looking for. Flat roofing systems are common for large structures and commercial buildings. But from the early 20th century they have become a favorite in homes looking for a less conventional style.
Deviating from the norm can be a little nerve-wracking but rest assured that we, here at Elo Roofing, have dedicated years to excellent craftsmanship to provide you with the very best in roofing services.
Here’s why you should consider installing a flat roof for your home:
Affordability
Probably the most obvious advantage of flat roofing systems is their affordability. Flat roof materials are a lot cheaper than any other roofing material. Its installation is really quick and easy and also reduces the risk of any on-site injuries, thus dramatically reducing your labor costs. These roofs are also really easy to maintain and clean. Re-coating and replacing these roofs are inexpensive due to the rubber and polymer materials used in the installation process. When cared for and regularly maintained your flat roof can last more than 20 years.
Easy cleaning
The warm and humid Florida climate makes the growth of moss and algae really easy, especially on places like residential roofs. Luckily flat roofs are really easy to clean and maintain. While it may be easier to clean, we suggest that you hire a professional team of roof cleaners to take care of your roof. Annual inspections of your flat roof will guarantee that your roof remains in good condition thus prolonging its life expectancy.
Extra space
Flat roofs provide a great space for extra installations that could improve your quality of life. This open space can be used to install air-conditioning or solar panels. Also due to their ease of access, you can also convert this space into an outdoor living area, like installing a garden, lounging area or a spot to barbeque.
