Many commercial building owners opt for a flat roof for various reasons. For instance, with a flat roof you essentially gain an extra floor of usable space for your building where storage facilities, HVAC systems and more can be housed. Flat roofs are also easier to maintain and, because they’re easier to access and maneuver around on than a pitched roof, they make jobs like gutter cleaning and solar panel installation much easier.
However, flat roofs come with a common set of problems that will eventually develop and require the services of an expert roofing technician. For topnotch flat roof repair in the Youngstown, OH, area, you can count on the professional team at Five Star Commercial Roofing.

Common Flat Roof Problems
Like any roof type, a flat roof will eventually develop problems as time passes and as Mother Nature’s elements have their way. Some common catalysts for flat roof issues include:
- Ponding water, which can lead to leaks
- Improper installation or previous repairs that were not performed to code
- Thermal shock, which can lead to cracking and leave your roof vulnerable to water seepage
- Weathering and aging
When flat roof problems develop, you can trust the Five Star Commercial Roofing team to come to the rescue and get the job done right! We have the tools and expertise to take care of any roofing need, from repairs to restoration, and to add years to the life expectancy of your existing roof.
Avoid Costly Roof Replacement
An alarming roofing industry statistic shows that roofs are replaced prematurely between 70-80 percent of the time—which means that in up to 80 percent of cases, the huge expense and hassle of a roof replacement could have been avoided. Whenever possible, Five Star Commercial Roofing strives to avoid full roof replacement and, instead, extend the lifespan of a client’s existing commercial roof. One way we do that is with high-quality roof coating systems from Conklin.
Conklin’s flat roof coating systems can fully rejuvenate your existing roof and add many years to its life. This is done with little or no business-disrupting roof tear-off and at a fraction of the cost of a full roof replacement. If you don’t need to replace your roof, why on earth would you do it?
The following are just a few of the inherent advantages of coating your roof rather than replacing it:
- ENERGY STAR® certification
- Extends the life of an old roof
- Creates a seamless, waterproof protective barrier over top of your existing roof
- Easily expands and contracts with changing temperatures
- Reflects up to 85 percent of the sun’s rays, significantly reducing energy use and costs
- Can stand up to nature’s worst elements—even hurricane-force winds!
- Non-prorated warranty coverage available, extending up to 18 years
