Flat roofs are one of the most misunderstood roofing systems in residential and commercial construction. They look simple from the outside, but the details underneath — drainage design, membrane selection, slope management, and seam integrity — are what determine whether a flat roof performs for decades or starts leaking within a few years. At Bichon Roofing & General Contractor, we approach every flat roof project with the technical care it requires. We have been installing and repairing flat roofing systems in Texas City and across the Gulf Coast long enough to know exactly where these roofs fail and how to prevent it.

The Gulf Coast climate creates specific challenges for flat roofing. Standing water from heavy rainfall, heat expansion, and high humidity all stress flat roofing membranes in ways that milder climates do not. We select materials and drainage configurations that are appropriate for this environment — not a generic solution pulled from a catalog. Whether you need a new flat roof on a home addition, a commercial property, or a full replacement of an existing system that has run its course, we handle the full scope of work from tear-off through final inspection.

Flat roof repairs are just as important as new installations. A small membrane puncture or failing seam can allow water to spread across a large area before it shows up as a visible interior leak. We locate the source accurately and repair it completely — not just cover it temporarily. If your flat roof has been giving you trouble in Texas City, Galveston, or anywhere across Galveston County, call (713) 319-5814 and let us assess what is actually going on.
