Ponding
Low spots that still hold water a day after rain mean a sagging deck or poor drainage. We fix the slope along the drain path.
Roofing
Flat roofs play by different rules
Plenty of homes in Lynn, Revere, Malden, and Salem have flat or low-slope roofs: triple-deckers, two-families, porch roofs, and rear additions. Shingles do not work on these, because water does not run off fast enough. They need a continuous membrane with sealed seams and good drainage.
We install and repair EPDM rubber roofing, fix ponding and drainage problems, and seal the details where flat roofs usually fail: edges, seams, scuppers, and where the roof meets a wall.

North Shore Know-How
Why flat roofs fail after winter
Standing water is the enemy. Every freeze and thaw works water into seams and edges, and snow that sits on a flat roof for weeks adds weight and keeps the membrane wet.
🧵
Seams
Most rubber roof leaks start at seams and old patches. We clean, prime, and tape seams instead of caulking over them.
🧱
Wall flashing
Where the roof meets a wall or parapet, the membrane has to turn up and be terminated properly, or it leaks.

Common Questions
Questions Homeowners Ask
How long does an EPDM rubber roof last?
A properly installed EPDM roof commonly lasts 20 to 30 years. Keeping seams and flashing maintained helps it reach the top of that range.
Can you repair my flat roof instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. If the membrane is sound and the leak is at a seam, patch, or flashing, a repair is the right call.
Can I walk on a rubber roof?
Light foot traffic for maintenance is fine. If you use the roof as a deck, it needs a walkway or deck system on top so the membrane does not get punctured.
Do you work on triple-deckers and multi-family homes?
Yes. We work on triple-deckers and two-families across Lynn and the nearby cities, including the porch roofs on each level.
