Smart, Durable, and Low-Maintenance Roofing for Florida Properties
Flat roofing systems have become a top choice for both commercial and modern residential buildings in Florida. Their sleek appearance, ease of maintenance, and ability to host HVAC units or solar panels make them practical and attractive.
But in our climate, a flat roof must be more than stylish — it has to manage heavy rainfall, intense UV exposure, and high winds. At Protech Roofing, we design and install flat roofing systems that handle all of Florida’s environmental challenges while providing long-lasting protection.
Types of Flat Roofing Systems We Install
1. TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin)
- Highly reflective for energy efficiency.
- Heat-welded seams for leak resistance.
- Great for commercial buildings in sunny areas like Brandon and Lakeland.
2. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
- Excellent for chemical resistance.
- Long-lasting and durable under heavy use.
- Ideal for restaurants and industrial buildings.
3. Modified Bitumen
- Flexible and strong.
- Works well in both hot and cold conditions.
- Great for residential extensions or smaller commercial roofs.
4. EPDM Rubber Roofing
- Cost-effective and durable.
- Easy to repair and maintain.
- Works well for warehouses and industrial spaces.

Why Flat Roofs Need Expert Installation in Florida
Unlike pitched roofs, flat roofs don’t rely on gravity to shed water quickly. That means:
- Proper slope design is critical to prevent pooling.
- Drainage systems must be sized for heavy rain.
- Seams and flashing must be perfectly sealed.

A Day on a Flat Roof Installation
In Lakeland, we started a PVC flat roof installation for a restaurant at 7:00 AM. Old materials were removed, insulation boards installed, and the membrane rolled out and heat-welded by mid-afternoon. By the end of day three, the roof was fully sealed and ready to handle Florida’s rainy season.
