Flat Roofing Experts in Metro Detroit
Flat roofing demands specialized expertise that most contractors don’t have. Pilot Roofing delivers professional flat roof installation, repair, and maintenance throughout Metro Detroit with 25+ years of combined experience protecting commercial buildings and residential properties across southeastern Michigan.
Why Metro Detroit Properties Need Flat Roofing Specialists
Flat roofs present unique challenges that pitched roofs don’t face. Water doesn’t shed naturally, so proper drainage and waterproofing become critical. Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles stress flat roofing systems in ways that require expert installation and quality materials.
Most roofing contractors focus on residential pitched roofs and lack flat roofing expertise. Improper flat roof installation leads to ponding water, premature failure, and expensive leaks that damage building contents and operations. You need contractors who specialize in flat roofing systems and understand what works in Michigan’s climate.
Pilot Roofing has installed and maintained flat roofs throughout Metro Detroit for over two decades. We know which systems perform best in Michigan weather. We understand proper drainage requirements, insulation needs, and waterproofing techniques that keep flat roofs leak-free for decades.
Flat Roofing Investment
Flat roofing costs vary based on the system selected, roof size, insulation requirements, and complexity. Typical commercial flat roofing installation in Metro Detroit ranges from $4 to $12 per square foot installed.
Consider long-term value, not just initial cost. Quality installation with proper materials delivers decades of leak-free protection. Cheap installations fail prematurely and cost more through repairs and premature replacement.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs clearly. You understand exactly what you’re paying for before work begins. We offer financing options that make quality flat roofing affordable.

Flat Roofing Systems We Install
TPO Roofing
TPO represents the most popular flat roofing choice for commercial buildings and modern residential applications. This single-ply membrane offers excellent weather resistance, energy efficiency through a reflective white surface, and heat-welded seams that create watertight protection.
EPDM (Rubber) Roofing
EPDM rubber roofing has protected flat roofs reliably for over 50 years. This proven material resists weather, ozone, and UV radiation exceptionally well. EPDM remains flexible even in cold temperatures, unlike other materials that can become brittle.
Modified Bitumen Roofing
Modified bitumen combines the reliability of traditional built-up roofing with modern polymer technology. Multiple layers create redundant protection against leaks. Granulated surfaces provide UV protection and walkability for maintenance access.
Built-Up Roofing (BUR)
Built-up roofing represents time-tested technology that's protected commercial buildings for over a century. Multiple layers of reinforced fabric and hot asphalt create a thick, durable, waterproof layer. Gravel or mineral surface protects against UV damage and fire.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Roofing
PVC roofing offers premium performance for flat roofs requiring maximum durability and chemical resistance. Heat-welded seams create permanent waterproof bonds. Exceptional resistance to punctures, chemicals, and fire makes PVC ideal for demanding applications.
