Flat Roofing in the Phoenix Valley
Flat and low-slope roofs are common across the Valley on homes, additions, patio covers and commercial buildings. They take the full force of the sun all day, and when monsoon rain comes they have to drain fast. Honey Roofing repairs and replaces flat roofs on residential and commercial properties, with a free inspection. Whether it's a leak over a back patio or a worn-out roof on a commercial building, we look at the whole roof, explain what we find in plain terms, and give you options that fit the building and your budget.

What goes wrong on flat roofs here
Constant UV and heat break down the roof surface, so it cracks, blisters and shrinks. Seams open up. Drains and scuppers clog with debris, and water ponds after a storm. Where the roof meets a parapet wall, flashing pulls away. Because water sits instead of running off, a small opening on a flat roof can leak a lot. Parapet walls, rooftop AC units and the curbs around them are the usual trouble spots, and stucco cracks at the top of a parapet can let water in behind the roof edge.

Keeping a flat roof in good shape
A little upkeep goes a long way in the desert. Keep drains and scuppers clear, especially before monsoon season. Keep foot traffic to a minimum and ask HVAC or solar crews to be careful on the roof. Look for standing water after a storm and for cracks or blisters in the surface. Having the roof checked before summer catches small seam and flashing problems while they are still small repairs.
Questions
How do I know if my flat roof needs attention?
Look for standing water a day or two after rain, cracks or blisters on the surface, and stains on ceilings under the flat section. A free inspection will tell you for sure.
Why does water pond on my flat roof?
Usually clogged drains or scuppers, or low spots in the roof. Ponding speeds up wear, so it's worth fixing.
Do you work on commercial flat roofs?
Yes. Our license covers residential and commercial roofing.
