Common questions

Helpful context before you request service.

Why is drainage important on a flat roof?+

Drainage affects how water leaves the roof surface. When water is not moving as intended, it can expose seams, drains, and low areas to additional stress. A system review helps identify the right corrective approach.

Can tile damage be repaired without replacing every tile?+

The appropriate scope depends on the tile, underlayment, flashings, battens, deck condition, and the extent of damage. An inspection can identify whether localized repair, lift-and-relay work, or a broader plan is appropriate.
