A low-slope roof is commonly seen on porches, sunrooms, and garages. These roofs are also transitions in some roofing systems. Chesapeake Roofing, Windows, and Siding, Inc. offers a variety of products for low-pitch roofs. Our roofing contractors can design a system that matches the rest of the roof and provides adequate water and weather protection.
When you choose Chesapeake Roofing, Windows, and Siding, Inc., you’re guaranteed that your replacement roof will provide long-term durability and performance. We offer several types of roofing materials. CertainTeed is our most popular brand of shingle roofing. Their low-slope roof materials coordinate with CertainTeed shingles for a complete and seamless solution.
Professional Roof Installation
A low-slope roof, which has a pitch of less than 2:12, needs special care. This type of roof requires a membrane installed between the supporting structure and the roof material. Unlike steep-pitch roofs that let water run off quickly, low-slope roofs can hold water from rain, snow, and ice, which can cause damage over time.
The proper installation is important because it can prevent leaks and protect your home from standing water. Our professionals make sure the membrane is installed correctly to keep your roof and home safe from water damage.
We are proud to be a CertainTeed 5-Star Contractor and a SELECT ShingleMaster Roofing Contractor. These designations mean we meet CertainTeed’s highest standards for quality and customer service. CertainTeed is a leading name in roofing, known for durable shingles, strong underlayments, and reliable roofing systems. You can have confidence that your roof is installed with the best materials and techniques available.

Is Your Low-Slope Roof Ready for Repairs or Replacement?
Low-sloped roofs require extra attention to keep them performing well. If you notice signs like water pooling, leaks, or damaged materials, it’s time to give us a call. Our team will inspect your roof and recommend the best course of action, whether you need a simple repair or a complete replacement. We make some considerations when we repair or replace a low-slope roof.
Water Drainage
Low-slope roofs don’t shed water as quickly as steeper roofs, so proper drainage is important. Without the right design, water can pool on the roof, which might lead to leaks and damage. We will make sure your roof has the right setup to move water away quickly.
This includes installing features like drainage systems and ensuring the roof’s surface is properly sloped. We do this to prevent water from collecting and causing problems. You want to keep your home safe and dry.
Materials
We choose materials that are made for low-slope roofs, such as rubber membranes or modified bitumen. These materials are better at sealing the roof and keeping out water. Rubber membranes are flexible and create a strong and waterproof barrier, while modified bitumen is a durable material made with layers of asphalt.
Both materials are designed to handle water sitting on the roof for longer, which is common with low-slope roofs. These high-quality materials will keep your roof stays protected from leaks, even during heavy rain or snow.
Roof Sealing
Good roof sealing can prevent leaks. We ensure all seams and edges are tightly sealed when we perform repairs or replacement. This means we check every part where the roofing material meets, like corners and around vents.
We use high-quality sealants and proven techniques to create a barrier that stands up to harsh weather. Proper sealing stops water from sneaking in through tiny openings and keeps your roof performing at its best. Our attention to detail ensures your roof stays watertight to keep your home safe and dry.
Insulation
The right insulation keeps your home comfortable and helps you save on energy bills. When we repair or replace your low-slope roof, it’s a great time to think about adding or updating insulation. Good insulation helps keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
If your current insulation is old or not working as well as it used to, we can replace it with new, more effective material. This extra step ensures that your home stays cozy and energy-efficient. It also helps you save money on heating and cooling costs.
Roof Age and Condition
If your roof is older or has significant damage, it might be better to replace it rather than making constant repairs. Replacing your roof with a new one can save you money and reduce stress over time. A new roof means fewer worries about leaks or other problems, and it can also increase your home’s value.
We offer durable roofing materials and professional installation so your new roof lasts for many years. With our help, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your home is well-protected.
Low Slope Roof Replacement
When we replace a low-slope roof, we remove the old roof and install the new one. First, our roofers will carefully take off the old roofing materials to inspect the structure underneath. If we find any damage, we’ll fix it before we move on.
Then, we’ll install a waterproof membrane to protect the roof from leaks. After that, the new roofing material, such as rubber or modified bitumen, is added to the roof.
Our roofers will seal the edges and seams tightly to prevent water from getting in. Finally, we will ensure the roof has proper drainage so water doesn’t pool. This process gives you a new and strong roof that can handle rain, snow, and other weather conditions.
