Flat Roofs Need a Different Kind of Expert. You Found One.
A flat roof looks simple. It's not. Water doesn't roll off a flat roof the way it does on a pitched one. Every seam, every penetration, every edge is a potential entry point. One small mistake during installation and you're dealing with ponding water, hidden leaks, and structural damage that gets worse every season.
Single ply rubber roofing — EPDM and TPO — is the solution. It creates a seamless, waterproof membrane that stretches, contracts, and handles everything a New Hartford winter throws at it. When installed correctly, it can protect your building for 25 to 30 years with minimal maintenance.
At Jewett Roofing Company, we've been installing and repairing single ply rubber roofs across New Hartford for over 40 years. Commercial buildings, residential additions, garages, porches — if it's flat or low-slope, we know exactly how to keep it dry.
OUR SINGLE PLY RUBBER ROOFING SERVICES
EPDM Roof Installation: Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer — black rubber roofing. Durable, flexible, and proven for decades. Ideal for commercial buildings and residential flat roofs.
TPO Roof Installation: Thermoplastic Polyolefin — white reflective roofing. Energy-efficient, heat-reflective, and resistant to UV, chemicals, and punctures. Great for reducing cooling costs.
Flat Roof Replacement: Complete tear-off and replacement of failing flat roofs. We strip down to the deck, repair any structural damage, and install a new single ply system built to last.
Flat Roof Repair: Ponding water, seam separation, punctures, flashing leaks — we diagnose and fix flat roof problems fast. Same-day service available for active leaks.
Commercial Flat Roofing: Large-scale single ply roofing for warehouses, retail spaces, apartment buildings, and commercial properties. Minimal disruption to your business operations.
Residential Flat Roofing: Additions, garages, porches, sunrooms, and modern residential designs. Clean, watertight, and blends with your existing roofline.
Roof Coating & Maintenance: Liquid-applied coatings that extend the life of your existing flat roof. Adds UV protection, reflects heat, and seals minor cracks. Cost-effective alternative to full replacement.
SIGNS YOUR FLAT ROOF NEEDS REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT
Ponding Water: Water sitting on your roof more than 48 hours after rain. Drains are clogged or the roof slope has settled. Standing water degrades the membrane over time.
Bubbles or Blisters: Trapped moisture or air between membrane layers. If the blister pops, water gets straight through. Repair before it bursts.
Seam Separation: The seams where membrane sheets join are pulling apart. This is the most common failure point on single ply roofs. Needs immediate attention.
Punctures or Tears: Hail, fallen branches, foot traffic, or HVAC maintenance can puncture the membrane. Even small holes let water through.
Flashing Damage: Loose, cracked, or pulling-away flashing around edges, vents, and penetrations. Water enters where the roof meets vertical surfaces.
Water Stains on Interior Ceilings: The leak has already made it through the roof deck and insulation. Damage is happening right now. Call immediately.
Membrane Shrinkage: Older rubber roofs can shrink, pulling away from edges and flashing. Creates gaps that let water in. Common on aging EPDM roofs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Single Ply Rubber Roofing FAQs.
Q: How much does a flat roof replacement cost in New Hartford, NY?
A: Single ply flat roof costs vary based on size, accessibility, insulation needs, and whether you choose EPDM or TPO. Residential flat roofs typically range from $6,000 to $15,000. Commercial projects are priced by the square foot. We provide a free, detailed estimate with no obligation.
Q: How long does a single ply rubber roof last?
A: EPDM rubber roofs typically last 25-30 years with proper installation and minimal maintenance. TPO roofs last 20-30 years. Both can exceed these ranges with regular inspections and prompt repairs when needed.
Q: Can you install a flat roof in winter?
A: Yes. Cold-weather installation of EPDM and TPO requires specific adhesives and techniques that we've been using for decades. Weather delays may occur during active snow or extreme cold, but winter installation is absolutely possible.
Q: What's better for my building — EPDM or TPO?
A: Both are excellent. EPDM is more flexible and has a longer track record (50+ years in the market). TPO reflects heat and is more energy-efficient for air-conditioned buildings. We'll assess your specific building, usage, and budget to recommend the best option.
Q: Can you repair a flat roof or does it always need full replacement?
A: Many flat roof problems can be repaired — seam separation, small punctures, flashing leaks, and minor blisters. If the membrane is extensively deteriorated, has widespread seam failure, or the insulation underneath is waterlogged, replacement is the better long-term solution. We'll give you an honest assessment.
Q: Why is water ponding on my flat roof?
A: Ponding water is usually caused by clogged drains, settled roof deck, or inadequate slope in the original design. We can improve drainage with tapered insulation during a roof replacement, or clear and repair existing drains on an otherwise sound roof.
Q: Do you service commercial flat roofs?
A: Yes. We install and repair single ply roofing on commercial buildings throughout Central New York — warehouses, retail centers, apartment complexes, office buildings, and industrial facilities. We work around your business hours to minimize disruption.
