Findlay Flat & Low-Slope Roofing — Residential & Commercial

Findlay Roof Pros provides professional flat & low-slope roofing in Findlay, OH for residential and commercial properties across Hancock County and northwest Ohio. Low slope turns up on Findlay houses in small quantities and awkward places: rear additions, porch roofs, the flat section over a kitchen bump-out, and the second-story dormer roofs on older downtown houses. Asphalt shingles do not belong on any of them, and that is where the trouble usually starts.

Below about two units of rise in twelve, shingles sit outside their designed slope no matter how carefully anybody lays them. Water moves too slowly to clear the laps and eventually travels back up underneath them, usually helped along by wind. The right products are single-ply membrane, either TPO or EPDM, or a torch-applied modified bitumen where the detail work around curbs and parapets is tight.

Now the part specific to this city, and it turns on a number most owners have never once thought about: how many dwelling units sit under the roof. Ohio's residential code covers one-, two- and three-family buildings and stops there. At four units, and for anything with a commercial use, the building becomes Ohio Building Code work instead.

That threshold decides who else sees the job. Below it, in Findlay, the decision on tear-off versus overlay and on membrane thickness is yours and ours, with no plan review behind it. At and above it, the permit and the inspection come from Wood County Building Inspection in Bowling Green, and somebody there reads the assembly before it goes on.

So we specify differently on each side of that line, and we say which side you are on before quoting. On a reviewed building we choose systems with published assembly documentation, because a reviewer will read it. On an unreviewed triplex or a porch roof we choose for what the crew can execute cleanly in the field, since the paperwork will convince nobody and the seams have to carry it alone.

Either way the failures come down to the same three places: the seams, the terminations where the membrane meets a wall, and the drain or scupper. We hot-air weld TPO seams and probe every foot with a hook. Membrane runs up walls to a proper termination bar rather than stopping at a bead of caulk. Tapered insulation sets the pitch so water leaves the roof instead of parking and waiting for a seam to give.

Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — six-nail high-wind fastening pattern, self-adhered ice and water shield, hot-air welded TPO seams, counter flashing let into a mortar joint, hidden gutter hangers on two-foot centers, curb-mounted skylight flashing kits — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Findlay and nearby communities including Fostoria, Bowling Green, Tiffin, Lima.

What We Handle

Why Findlay Chooses Findlay Roof Pros

• ✓We explain which office governs your building before quoting, because in Findlay a house and a fourplex answer to two different desks in two different counties.
• ✓The layer count goes in the quote. Somebody lifts a corner at the eave first, so the tear-off price is measured rather than assumed from a satellite image.
• ✓Every tear-off produces photographs of the bare deck before underlayment. On a house no inspector ever sees, that set of images replaces the inspection you never get.
• ✓Attic footprint measured and the required net free ventilating area run on the quote at published vent values, so you can check the arithmetic with a calculator.
