My ceiling had water spots so I reached out to Next Gen, and they found the problem with a leakage in the roof connecting to the house. Anthony came and fixed it within 2 hours and was significantly better in price + quality than any of the other people we had looking at it. They will be my go-to for a while, as well as for my friends and family, and Anthony is especially kind!
Suleman Abbasi Super reliable team! I would highly recommend for any of your future projects.

Why flat roofs are different
A sloped roof sheds water in seconds. A flat roof holds it, sometimes for hours after a storm, so every seam, every edge and every pipe through it has to be sealed completely. Flat roofs also need a slight fall toward drains or gutters, because standing water is what wears them out fastest. Shingles do not work on a roof this flat, which is why flat roofs use a single waterproof sheet instead.

What goes on
Most new flat roofs we put on are a single-ply membrane, a large waterproof sheet with its seams sealed together, laid over a flat base or insulation boards. White membranes reflect summer sun, which helps keep the rooms underneath cooler. The old roof is usually torn off first, so we can replace any wet boards or insulation before the new roof goes down.
The inspection and the quote are free
We come out, get on the roof, and tell you what we found and what it would cost to put right. There is no charge for that visit, and you are under no obligation to book the work.
Getting the drainage right
The most important part of a flat roof is where the water goes. We check how water moves across the roof now, where it ponds after rain, and whether the drains, scuppers and gutters can keep up. If the roof needs more slope in places, tapered insulation boards can build it in so water runs off instead of sitting.

Common questions.
How long does a flat roof last?
It depends on the material, how well it drains, and how much foot traffic it gets. A flat roof that sheds water properly lasts far longer than one where water sits for days.
Is a white flat roof worth it?
On a roof over living space, a white membrane reflects a lot of summer heat and can keep the rooms below noticeably cooler.
Do you work on commercial flat roofs?
Yes, on smaller commercial and mixed-use buildings. Call and describe the building and we will tell you whether it is a job for us.
