FLAT ROOFING FOR HOMES & COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES
Does Your Flat Roof Need Repair or Replacement?
Not every flat roof problem requires a complete replacement. Leaks, damaged seams, and flashing issues can often be repaired. However, when damage is widespread or the roofing system is deteriorating, replacement may be the better long-term solution.
Roofera provides free flat roof assessments throughout the Lehigh Valley. We'll evaluate your roof's condition, explain our findings, and recommend an appropriate repair or replacement solution. For some sound roofs, silicone roof coating may also be an option.
Repair may be enough for
- Localized roof leaks
- Small membrane punctures
- Failed or separated seams
- Damaged flashing
- A roofing system otherwise in good condition
Replacement may make sense with
- Recurring leaks in multiple areas
- Widespread membrane deterioration
- Extensive moisture damage
- Repairs that are no longer cost-effective
- A roofing system nearing the end of its useful life

Frequently Asked Flat Roofing Questions
How much does a flat roof replacement cost in the Lehigh Valley, PA?
Roofera's typical flat roof replacement pricing is $7.00–$12.50 per square foot, depending on the size of the roof, whether EPDM or TPO is specified, removal requirements, insulation or cover board, decking condition, drainage details, and site access.
The final price is based on a roof assessment and a written estimate. Roofera provides free estimates for residential and commercial flat roofing projects throughout the Lehigh Valley.
Can my leaking flat roof be repaired instead of replaced?
Often, yes. Localized problems such as failed seams, membrane punctures, and flashing defects may be repairable when the rest of the roofing system is in suitable condition.
If leaks are widespread, the membrane has deteriorated extensively, or underlying materials are damaged, replacement may be more practical. Roofera evaluates the roof and explains both options when appropriate. Learn more about roof repair.
Does Roofera install EPDM rubber roofing and TPO roofing?
Yes. Roofera offers EPDM rubber roofing and TPO roofing for qualifying residential and commercial flat or low-slope roof projects.
The system we recommend depends on the building's design, roof conditions, performance requirements, and installation scope. We discuss the selected materials and method in your written estimate.
How long does a flat roof replacement take?
Many smaller residential flat roof replacements can be completed in approximately 1–3 working days.
Larger commercial roofs, extensive repairs, difficult access, changing weather, or additional materials work may take longer. Roofera reviews the anticipated schedule for your specific project before work begins.
