O'Brien Contracting installs and repairs flat and low-slope roofing in Florida, Florida — TPO, PVC, modified bitumen and roof coatings — on homes with flat sections, additions, lanais and carports, and on commercial buildings.
Flat roofs in Florida fail at the low spots. Ponding water finds seams, drains, scuppers and penetration details. We check slope and drainage first, correct where practical, and detail the penetrations properly rather than relying on sealant.
A coating can extend the life of a membrane that is still structurally sound and dry underneath. If there is trapped moisture in the insulation or the membrane is past its service life, coating over it wastes money — a moisture check tells us which case applies.
Usually because the water entry is at a seam, penetration or drain detail away from where the interior stain appears. Tracing the actual path matters more than adding sealant.
Service life depends on membrane thickness, attachment method and exposure. Manufacturers publish warranty terms per system, and we review those before installation.
Only if the existing system is dry and sound. We check for trapped moisture before recommending a coating.
