We do flat roof repair in Old Town, ZIP 77701. Crews roll out from 6550 Westwood Blvd and reach most jobs in Old Town inside 30 minutes, even on thunderstorm nights.
Old Town sits on older lots with homes from the 1930s to 1960s. Those flat roofs are mostly built-up tar and gravel or modified bitumen. The hot humid air plus frequent downpours leaves standing water that finds every seam and flashing. We cut out the wet sections, lay new membrane, and seal the edges so water runs off instead of pooling.
Hurricane season brings the real test. Wind-driven rain pushes under loose edges on the older roofs. We add extra fasteners and tapered insulation where the slope is gone so the next storm does not turn a small leak into a ceiling stain.

Flat Roof Repair in Old Town — Local Notes
- •1930s-1960s homes on narrow lots mean tight access. We park on the street and carry materials through side gates instead of driving equipment onto the roof.
- •Many flat roofs here have multiple layers from past fixes. We strip down to the deck on leak repairs so the new membrane bonds clean.
- •Summer humidity keeps decks damp for days after rain. We wait for a dry surface or use moisture meters before we lay new material.
- •Ponding spots form along the back walls where the original slope has settled. We add crickets during repair so water moves to the scuppers.
