Low-Slope Roofs

Some of the most troubling leaks we see are leaks located where the roof of the main house connects to the sunroom or back porch addition. This joint in the roof is a likely suspect when we see a leak or damage on the roof. We know exactly how to handle these issues so you will never have that problem again. We have seen this situation hundreds of times in our 33 year career, and we have designed a fool-proof way of fixing this kind of problem.

Rubber Roofing

Here's why rubber roofing is a perfect choice for any low-slope section of your roof

Don't Just Take Our Word For It

Here's some reviews left by our satisfied customers. As you can see, our #1 mission is to make sure our customers receive the best roof and roofing service possible.

Shenandoah Roofing replaced our roof in February 2023. Everyone was very professional and Glenn had a personal touch that helped reduce the stress for that project. They were able to start the job earlier than anticipated. Glenn kept in touch and checked on the project several times. Glenn and Roger (lead onsite) were very good about answering questions. Roger coordinated the roof work above my home office to match a time when I would be away, so I had no disruptions to my work. Even though our location is very windy and high winds interrupted the work one day, they had a clean process (kept trash under control) and finished in the predicted time. I highly recommend them - excellent work and price!

We had an emergency roof look around 2 sky lights. Shenandoah Roofing responded and arrived at the house the next day working on the estimate. By day 2 they were already removing and replacing our roof. They added a ridge vent and replaced gutter guards. They did a phenomenal job from start to finish and at a great price. I would highly recommend!

We hired Shenandoah roofing in October 2022 to do a full roof replacement, chimney repair and adding chimney caps. We followed that work with full guttering replacement. All work was done professionally and timely and within the quoted estimate. Glenn also identified where there was hail damage and my insurance company paid the claim, which about paid all services in full! I would not have thought of this, and never expected it, but thank God Glenn was knowledgeable to identify this and to suggest for me to file a claim! They also did a great clean-up job. Glenn's expertise is evident from his years of experience! I enjoyed the personal touch and dealing with a local company to create a win-win! I highly recommend them for your roofing needs!

I had a leak in my roof that had been on the house for all most 30 years . Glen came by on a Wednesday and they started the next week and had the roof replaced in three days in 90 degree heat and had everything cleaned up and looking great . They did such a good job I had them come back a few weeks later and they replaced my garage roof in one day . It has been over a month and Glen checked back to make sure everything was good . I would recommend them to my neighbors and friends .

The work performed by Shenandoah was done expertly and the craftsmen who removed our old roof and installed the new one were a pleasure to meet and to have with us. The entire experience was the best that we could have hoped for. When we had questions, your team had precise and intelligent answers and were very accommodating to our desires and respectful of our property. We will enthusiastically recommend Shenandoah Roofing to everyone we know who requires home repair/improvement work done and wants the best possible workmanship and the best price with no unexpected surprises.

Low-Slope Roof FAQs

Have a question about a low-slope roof or rubber roofing? Here are a few of the most common ones.

What counts as a low-slope roof?

A low-slope roof has a shallow pitch, and they are often found over sunrooms, porches, additions, garages, and some commercial buildings. Standard shingles are not the right choice for these areas because water drains more slowly.

Why use rubber roofing on a low-slope roof?

Rubber roofing is durable, weather resistant, and well suited to low-slope areas where water drains slowly. It creates a strong, water-resistant surface that protects the roof from standing water and the elements.

Can you repair a low-slope roof without replacing it?

Sometimes. If the damage is limited to a seam, flashing, or a small section, a repair may be possible. We will inspect the roof and let you know whether a repair or replacement is the better long-term choice.

Why do low-slope roofs leak where they meet the main roof?

The joint between a low-slope addition and the main roof is a common leak point because water drains slowly there and the transition has to be flashed correctly. We specialize in these transitions and build them to shed water reliably.

How long does a rubber roof last?

With proper installation and maintenance, a rubber roof can last many years. Its lifespan depends on the material, roof condition, foot traffic, and exposure to weather.

Can I walk on a rubber roof?

Occasional foot traffic for maintenance is usually fine, but regular traffic can wear the surface. We recommend keeping unnecessary traffic off the roof and calling us for inspections or repairs.
