For flat sections, covered porches, lanais, and home additions on Broward, Palm Beach & Miami-Dade County residential properties. TPO and modified bitumen systems rated for our wind zone and built to handle South Florida's daily rainfall.
Flat roofing is more common in Broward, Palm Beach & Miami-Dade County than most homeowners realize. Contemporary ranch homes, covered lanais, carports, and home additions all rely on low-slope systems — and the installation quality matters enormously in our climate.
Flat and low-slope roofing requires different materials and techniques than pitched roofing. Where a shingle or tile roof sheds water through gravity and surface texture, a flat roof relies entirely on membrane integrity, proper slope, and adequate drainage. In South Florida, where afternoon thunderstorms drop inches of rain in an hour and hurricanes bring sustained wind-driven rain for days, there is no margin for error in a flat roof installation.
Bona Fide Roofing installs TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) and modified bitumen flat systems for residential applications in Broward, Palm Beach & Miami-Dade County. TPO's heat-welded seams and white reflective surface are well-suited to Florida heat. Modified bitumen offers a proven multi-layer redundancy system. We design every installation with proper drainage slope, correct drain sizing, and parapet details that withstand hurricane conditions.
Most Broward, Palm Beach & Miami-Dade County flat roofing jobs fall into one of three categories: replacement of an existing flat section that has reached end of life, a new flat roof on a home addition or covered lanai, or a full contemporary home with a flat-roof architecture. Each has different design considerations — and all of them need to be permitted and inspected under Florida Building Code.
Flat roof sections fail most often at seams, drains, and penetrations. When we inspect an existing flat roof, we assess membrane condition, seam adhesion, drain functionality, and standing-water patterns. We give you an honest written assessment of whether a new installation is warranted — and when it is, we design and install the system correctly so it performs for its full service life.
TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) and modified bitumen are the two most common and code-appropriate flat roofing systems for South Florida residential applications. TPO's white reflective surface handles Florida heat well and its heat-welded seams are highly water-resistant. Modified bitumen is a proven multi-layer system with a decades-long track record in Broward, Palm Beach & Miami-Dade County's climate. We recommend the right system based on your roof's slope, traffic needs, and existing structure.
A properly installed TPO or modified bitumen flat roof in Broward, Palm Beach & Miami-Dade County typically lasts 15 to 25 years depending on the membrane type, installation quality, and maintenance. The primary threats in South Florida are UV degradation, standing water from daily rainfall, and seam integrity during hurricane-force winds and rain. We address all three in the design of every installation.
Yes. Flat roof additions — covered lanais, screen enclosures with roofing, carport covers, and home additions — are very common in Broward, Palm Beach & Miami-Dade County and are exactly what our flat roofing system is designed for. We handle the permitting, design the drainage, and install to Florida Building Code. The addition connects to your existing structure with proper flashing and counter-flashing so both roofing systems work together.
Yes, when properly designed. The key is drainage: a flat roof must have adequate slope to drain (minimum 1/4 inch per foot per Florida Building Code), properly sized drains or scuppers, and no low spots where water can pond. We design every flat roof installation with drainage as the primary engineering concern. Ponding water is the number-one cause of flat roof failure in South Florida, and it is almost always a design or installation error — not a material failure.
We assess the membrane condition, seam adhesion, drain flow, and any standing-water patterns during a free inspection. We give you an honest written assessment of what your flat roof needs — whether that is a new full-membrane installation, a partial section replacement, or drainage corrections. We never recommend more work than the roof actually needs.
We inspect, measure, and give you a clear written assessment of what your flat roof needs. No pressure, no obligation. We respond within 24 hours.
