Low-slope roofs are defined by a pitch of less than two vertical units for every twelve horizontal units. Flat roofs can also fit into this category. While these kinds of roofs offer advantages like easier maintenance and improved energy efficiency, they also face challenges related to water and debris accumulation. Specialized systems are needed to effectively address these potential issues.
At Phillips Roofing, we specialize in low-slope roofing repairs and installations for both commercial and residential properties. Our reliable technicians ensure a seamless, well-organized process from planning to completion. We’ll plan our work around your schedule, as well as projected weather conditions, to avoid unnecessary disruptions or water damage.
Roofs with a minimal slope require unique solutions due to their reduced angle, which makes traditional shingles unsuitable. Here are some of the outstanding systems we offer:

This single-ply roofing material can be installed using either heat-applied or peel-and-stick methods. With a light reflective surface, modified bitumen helps reduce cooling costs, making it a smart choice for energy efficiency.

Yes, low-slope roofs are an excellent choice, capable of enhancing solar output, reducing installation costs, and minimizing the risk of damage. However, a specialized mount is necessary to ensure the panels are angled correctly.
