When It’s Time to Replace Your Flat Roof
Even the best repair crews can’t fight time forever. At some point, continuing to repair an old flat roof costs more than replacing it.
Common signs it’s time for flat roof replacement:
You’re dealing with recurring leaks in multiple areas
Ponding water remains on the roof 48 hours after rain
Membrane is cracked, brittle, or shrinking
Blisters, alligatoring, or exposed reinforcement in the field
Insulation is wet in several areas
Roof is at or past its expected service life
You’ve spent heavily on repairs with no lasting improvement
We’ll perform a full inspection, including hands-on measurements and, when needed, roof core analysis to determine whether your roof can be saved or if full replacement is the smarter long-term move.
Why We Replace Flat Roofs With Single-Ply PVC Systems
Not all flat roof systems are created equal. We’ve seen how Colorado’s sun, hail, and temperature swings break down older systems like BUR, modified bitumen, TPO, and EPDM. That’s why Royalty Roofing replaces flat roofs with PVC — a system proven to perform in demanding conditions.
Benefits of PVC for flat commercial roofs:
Heat-welded seams for long-lasting, watertight performance
Highly reflective surface to reduce cooling costs
Excellent resistance to UV, chemicals, and rooftop equipment heat
Compatible with complex roof layouts and multiple penetrations
Lower ongoing maintenance compared to many older systems
If your roof isn’t PVC yet, we’ll replace it with a PVC system that’s easier to maintain and better suited to Colorado’s climate.
Our Flat Roof Replacement Process
Accurate measurements​
We get on your roof, not just rely on satellite tools. Our team takes precise measurements, evaluates slope and drainage, and documents existing conditions so your estimate is accurate and complete.
Thorough Proposal
We take the time to list exactly what you’re getting: tear-off or overlay details, insulation upgrades, PVC system specs, flashing details, and warranty terms. No vague language, no guesswork.
Professional Installation
Our crews install your new PVC roof to manufacturer specifications, paying special attention to seams, penetrations, and drainage details. Safety and site cleanliness are built into every project.
Best Warranties
Every new flat roof replacement includes a manufacturer system warranty and a 10-year Royalty Roofing workmanship warranty. We also carry $16 million in liability insurance.
Storm & Hail on Flat Roofs
Flat Roof Performance During Hail & Colorado Storms
Flat roofs are especially vulnerable to hail and standing water. Hail can bruise or fracture membranes, and ponding water can speed up deterioration.
With a new PVC flat roof, you get:
Strong, flexible membrane that resists hail impacts better than many older systems
Welded seams that hold up under repeated freeze–thaw cycles
Improved drainage design to reduce ponding and related damage
System options that maintain eligibility for hail and storm-related warranties, where available
If your flat roof was recently hit by hail or high winds, we can inspect it for damage and tell you whether repair or replacement is the right move. Facing active storm damage now?
Flat Roof Repairs vs. Full Replacement
When a Repair Is Enough — and When It’s Time to Re-Roof
Not every flat roof problem means you’re due for a full replacement. In many cases, a targeted repair can buy you more years of reliable performance — especially if the roof is still within its expected service life.
You may only need a repair if:
Leaks are isolated to one or a few areas
Most of the membrane is still in good condition
Insulation is dry and not widely saturated
Flashing or seams have failed in small sections
The roof hasn’t yet reached the end of its design life
In those situations, our team can often perform flashing repair, membrane patching, seam reinforcement, and ponding water corrections through our repair services instead of pushing straight to replacement.

Can you replace my existing BUR, modified bitumen, TPO, or EPDM roof?
Yes. We routinely replace older BUR, modified bitumen, TPO, and EPDM systems with new PVC flat roof systems that offer better performance and lower long-term maintenance.
How long does a flat roof replacement take?
Most commercial flat roof replacements take one to three weeks, depending on size, complexity, and weather. We phase work to keep your building dry and operations running.
Will my business need to shut down during the project?
In most cases, no. We coordinate with you on scheduling, access, and noise-sensitive areas so you can continue operating while we work.
Do you still repair flat roofs, or only replace them?
We do both. If your roof can be reliably repaired, we’ll recommend that first. When replacement is the better long-term option, we’ll explain why and show you the numbers. For repair options, see our Commercial Roof Repair page.
