The reason is that many residential roofing contractors don\u2019t know how to install or perform repairs on unique roof types, such as flat roofs. So when you\u2019re in need of residential flat roof replacement, for instance, you may find yourself up the proverbial creek without a paddle.<\/p>\n<p>The solution is hiring a roofer that has expertise in both commercial and residential roofing. Since flat roofs are a common choice for commercial buildings, the technicians at a dual-service roofing company\u2014one that services both commercial and residential roofs\u2014can bring their commercial roofing expertise to your residential job and provide you with the residential flat roof services you need without it costing a fortune.<\/p>\n<h3>Benefits of Flat Roofs<\/h3>\n<p>Flat roofs are a common choice for commercial and industrial buildings, but they are a lot less common on North American homes. For homeowners who opt for a flat roof on their house, there are various benefits, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Style \u2013 <\/strong>Flat roofs give homes an attractive, modern look with clean lines and unique style.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Usable Space \u2013<\/strong> One of the reasons flat roofs are an alluring choice for commercial buildings is they turn the top of a building into an extra floor of usable space\u2014and the same principle holds true on a home. When your house has a flat roof, you can utilize that space for a rooftop deck, a rooftop garden and more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cost \u2013<\/strong> Flat roofs are a comparatively low-cost option when initially installed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Easy Access \u2013<\/strong> Because they are flat and not pitched, flat roofs are easy to access and walk on. This makes tasks like cleaning gutters, hanging Christmas lights and more much easier to accomplish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Replacement Isn\u2019t Always Necessary<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.choiceroofcontractors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/flat-roof-alternative.jpg\" alt=\"flat roof alternative\" data-id=\"1018\" width=\"250\" height=\"480\">Did you know that, statistically, roofs are replaced prematurely as much as 70-80 percent of the time? An expert roofing contractor with a good reputation will never advise roof replacement unless there is absolutely no other viable option.<\/p>\n<p>Oftentimes, an outside-the-box roofing solution like applying a high-quality roof coating can delay the need for roof replacement by years. Roof coatings are a popular solution for commercial roofs, and they are an excellent option for a flat residential roof, as well.<\/p>\n<p>A roof coating can fix all of your existing roof\u2019s problems with one application and extend the life of your current roof by many years.&nbsp; A roof coating adds an extra, protective membrane layer over top of an old roof, restoring it to like-new condition at a fraction of the cost that a labor-intensive roof replacement would require. The various benefits of our group\u2019s preferred roof coating include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ENERGY STAR\u00ae certified<\/li>\n<li>Fully waterproof solution<\/li>\n<li>Backed by 40-year reputation<\/li>\n<li>Guaranteed to extend roof life up to 18 years<\/li>\n<li>Completely seals your existing roof and protects it from Mother Nature\u2019s elements<\/li>\n<li>Roof can be re-coated later on for even greater life extension<\/li>\n<li>No expensive, labor-intensive roof tear-off needed<\/li>\n<li>Less maintenance and upkeep required<\/li>\n<li>Can lower roof temperature by up to 80 degrees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>When Roof Replacement Is Unavoidable<\/h3>\n<div style=\"float: right;
