At REVMA, we install high-performance flat roofing systems designed to withstand NYC's diverse weather, from heavy snow to intense summer heat. Our focus is on providing a long-lasting, leak-free roof that protects your investment and gives you peace of mind.
Is Your Flat Roof Failing?
These common issues indicate it's time for a professional inspection. Don't wait for a small problem to become a costly disaster.
Ponding Water
Water that doesn't drain after 48 hours can severely damage your roof membrane and lead to leaks.
Cracks or Blisters
Bubbles or cracks in the roof membrane are clear indicators that the material is failing and vulnerable to water intrusion.
Damaged Flashing
Tears or pulling away of the metal flashing around vents and edges can create easy entry points for water.
Frequent Leaks
If you're constantly dealing with interior leaks, it's a sign that your flat roof system has reached the end of its life.
Advanced Roofing Materials
We use industry-leading materials to ensure your flat roof is durable, weather-resistant, and energy-efficient.

Flat Roofing FAQs
The most common and effective materials for NYC's climate are TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin), EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), and Modified Bitumen. TPO is great for energy efficiency due to its reflective surface. EPDM is highly durable and resistant to weathering. Modified Bitumen offers excellent waterproofing and tear resistance.
A professionally installed flat roof can last anywhere from 15 to 30 years. The lifespan depends on the material used, the quality of installation, and regular maintenance. TPO and EPDM roofs typically have a longer lifespan than traditional materials.
