Flat Roofing: Not Just For Commercial Buildings

Flat roofing has always been associated with commercial roofing, but roofing trends are changing. Many homeowners with contemporary and modern homes are now switching to these roofing systems. Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC discusses the unique benefits of flat roofs as a residential roofing option.

A Low-Cost Option

The biggest reason for switching to flat roofing is that it’s cheaper than conventional roofing systems. Flat roofing materials, such as asphalt and fiber cement, are surprisingly inexpensive because they do not require any tweaks and complicated designs.

Easy to Install

Flat roofing is also easy to install, and you don’t need to divert much of your roofing budget to labor if you make the switch. Flat roofing may not be difficult in terms of installation, but the process as a whole is complex and risky work. So, it’s still the smarter to choice to hire a contractor like us.

Flat Roofing is Usable as Space

Another benefit to switching to flat roofing is that you can use it as extra floor space. For example, you can install your HVAC on your roof instead of your yard or even add an elevated porch. Solar panels are also easier to install on a flat roof, and, apart from being less obvious from the curb, you’ll also maximize your solar intake.
