Common Flat Roofing Systems We Install

HKS Construction installs four primary flat roofing systems engineered to withstand Calgary’s temperature extremes (-40°C to +35°C) and UV exposure averaging 2,396 hours annually. Each system suits different building types and budgets.

TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) Roofing

TPO membranes reflect 87% of UV rays, reducing cooling costs by 20-30% for Calgary businesses. We install Carlisle SynTec and GAF EverGuard TPO systems with 20-year NDL warranties.

Modified Bitumen Roofing

Modified bitumen provides superior puncture resistance for roofs with heavy foot traffic or equipment. Our SBS-modified systems feature granulated cap sheets that shed snow effectively during Calgary’s 128cm average annual snowfall.

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) Rubber Roofing

EPDM withstands Calgary’s hailstorms (averaging 5.2 severe events annually) better than other single-ply membranes. Firestone RubberGard EPDM installations by HKS Construction typically last 25-30 years with proper maintenance.

Built-Up Roofing (BUR) Systems

Traditional tar and gravel roofs still protect many Calgary buildings constructed before 2000. HKS Construction maintains and replaces BUR systems, often converting them to modern single-ply membranes that weigh 75% less.

Testimonials

What Calgarians Are Saying:

Flat roof on garage

Our detached garage has a flat roof that had been leaking into the ceiling for two years. Previous owner had layered three coats of roof cement over the old membrane which just made the whole thing a mess. Klodian stripped it all back to the deck, replaced four sheets of rotten plywood, and installed a proper two-ply SBS torch-down system with new drip edge all the way around. Should have stopped patching and called HKS years ago.

Low-Slope Addition

We built a rear addition in 2019 and the original contractor used cheap peel-and-stick membrane on the low-slope section where it ties into the main house. By 2024 it was bubbling, seams were lifting, and we were getting water into the wall cavity below. Klodian took one look and said the membrane wasn’t rated for exposed application – it was meant to go under shingles, not be the final layer. His crew tore it off, installed proper EPDM membrane and built up a small cricket where the addition meets the main wall so water can’t sit against the transition anymore. Clean, methodical work. The whole thing took a two days and a half

How much does flat roofing cost per square foot in Calgary?

HKS Construction’s flat roofing installations range from $8-15 per square foot in Calgary (2024 pricing), depending on the system selected. TPO roofing averages $10-17/sq ft, EPDM costs $11-18/sq ft, and modified bitumen runs $20-25/sq ft including removal of existing materials. Commercial projects over 10,000 sq ft typically receive 10-15% volume discounts.

How long do flat roofs last in Calgary’s climate?

Properly installed flat roofs by HKS Construction last 20-30 years in Calgary despite chinook cycles and hailstorms. TPO and EPDM membranes average 25 years, modified bitumen systems reach 20-25 years, and restored BUR roofs extend to 30+ years with our quarterly maintenance programs. Calgary’s 88 annual freeze-thaw cycles reduce lifespan by 15% compared to moderate climates.

What flat roofing system works best for Calgary winters?

HKS Construction recommends TPO or modified bitumen for Calgary’s harsh winters. TPO membranes remain flexible at -40°C while modified bitumen’s multi-layer construction prevents ice dam formation. Both systems handle snow loads up to 3.0 kPa (Calgary’s design requirement) and shed accumulated snow effectively when properly sloped at 2% minimum grade.

How quickly can HKS Construction repair a leaking flat roof in Calgary?

HKS Construction’s emergency response team arrives within 2 hours for flat roof leaks in Calgary and performs temporary repairs immediately to prevent interior damage. Permanent repairs typically complete within 24-48 hours, weather permitting. Our Calgary warehouse stocks all common repair materials, eliminating supplier delays.

What warranty does HKS Construction provide on flat roofing?

HKS Construction provides three warranty levels: our 10-year workmanship warranty covers installation defects, manufacturer warranties extend 15-20 years on materials, and optional NDL (No Dollar Limit) warranties combine both for 20 years total coverage. All warranties transfer to new property owners and include 72-hour response guarantees.

Can HKS Construction install flat roofs during Calgary winters?

HKS Construction installs certain flat roofing systems year-round in Calgary using specialized cold-weather adhesives and installation techniques. EPDM and mechanically-attached TPO installations proceed in temperatures above -20°C. Modified bitumen requires temperatures above -10°C. Winter installations include heated material storage and may require 1-2 additional days.
