Flat Roof Repair in Silk Stocking, Galveston: what actually fails

Where a Silk Stocking mansion has flat sections, they are usually porches and verandas tied into a steep main roof. The membrane has to turn up under the main roof's covering, not stop short of it, and the edge metal is renewed where salt air has eaten it.

Late 19th and early 20th century, designated a historic district in 1975; one listed house there was home to Fred W. Hoecker in 1908.

  • Ladder footing on tall roofs
  • Valley count and condition on every plane
  • Tower and turret flashing
  • Composition color against the district standards

Detail 1

Call today

Note 01What is the most effective way to fix a leaking flat roof?

Find the failure first: an open seam, a membrane pulled away at a wall, edge metal rusted loose, or water sitting by a drain. Then repair that detail with the same membrane system, terminated mechanically at walls rather than sealed.

Note 02What is the best replacement for a flat roof?

When repair is no longer honest, the choice is usually between membrane systems, TPO among them, and it follows the roof: foot traffic, how many penetrations it has and how it meets the walls. The edges and the drains matter more than the membrane.

Note 03What are the best roofing options for a flat roof?

A membrane system detailed properly at its edges. On a porch, carport or addition the choice follows the roof: how it is used, how many pipes and vents go through it, and how it meets the walls around it. A good membrane with rusted edge metal still leaks.
