NEW SLOPED METAL ROOF OVER OLD FLAT ROOF

Most roofs shed water away from a building quickly, completely, and reliably every time. Flat roofs can’t do this and property owners often end up with costly maintenance because of it. Damage such as clogged drains, water ponding on the roof surface, and membranes cracking under UV radiation and seasonable freeze and thaws often occur when water cannot exit a roof properly. This calls for a permanent fix and Retro-Master offers the best solution.

With a Retro-Master retrofit, new steel framing is installed over the failing flat roof, then it is clad with long-lasting and energy-efficient metal roofing. Retro-Master is able to accommodate all types of structural framing on existent buildings, such as steel, concrete, and wood. Property owners can choose from a low-slope design to subtly upgrade the look their building or go with a steep slope option, to create a more dramatic makeover.
