Flat Roofing

Flat roofs are most often used to maximize useable space, such as on row homes in cities like Washington DC. TPO, once welded together, creates a seamless watertight membrane which is especially important on a roof without no or low slope.

TPO Flat Roof Layers

Wood Deck

All roof layers are stripped to reveal the wood deck, which is thoroughly inspected and replaced.

Poly ISO Insulation

Polyisocyanurate insulation board goes down as a base layer. ISO board is a high density insulation board. Total R-Value is dependent on the amount of insulation installed. Learn more about insulation >

R-value Upgrade

R-value represents an insulation's effectiveness at resisting heat travel. Upgrades include more poly-ISO, staggered seams, and longer fasteners. We offer 5 options, from R6 up to R30.

Fasteners

Fasteners securely hold down the poly-ISO, protecting against wind uplift.

TPO Membrane with Adhesive

Standard size .60mil TPO membrane is glued and the seams are overlapped.

Welded Seams

A machine welder is rolled over seams, melting them together create one continual seamless surface.

My husband and I met with Pat Jewell and he was such a pleasure to work with. Very knowledgeable and kind. We felt comfortable with this company.
We are very pleased with the work that Capitol Improvements did and we would highly recommend and use them again in the future.

Seth and install team were organized and project went smoothly. Entire team was responsive and kept in touch throughout the process.
They replaced my roof including skylights in April 2023 and I am very satisfied. Melinda as my first contact was very professional and got me on the schedule quickly.
It was easy to work with Pat to get a quote. We did both a roof on our house and our shed, we also had new gutters put on our den. The crew was very hardworking and efficient.
