Flat Roofing · New Haven

Flat roofs that stay dry in New Haven.

Home to Yale University, New Haven blends academic architecture with coastal neighborhoods and urban development. The city's Long Island Sound shoreline adds coastal weather exposure to standard New England roofing challenges.

Coastal New Haven faces hurricane-season threats, nor'easters, and salt air corrosion. Lower snowfall than inland areas, but high winds and driving rain are frequent.

Clad installs flat and low-slope roofing across New Haven — on commercial buildings, multi-family properties, row homes, additions, and porches. Every system is designed with tapered insulation and engineered drainage, because on a flat roof, standing water is the enemy that beats every membrane eventually.

Why Clad

Flat is a spec,
not a compromise.

A flat roof done right is a 30-year asset. Done wrong, it's an annuity for whoever repairs it.

Engineered drainage

Tapered insulation packages that move water to drains instead of letting it pond — the single biggest factor in membrane lifespan.

Snow-load ready for Connecticut

Systems and fastening patterns specified for the snow loads and thermal cycling New Haven roofs actually see, not national averages.

Welded, tested seams

Heat-welded TPO/PVC seams and properly primed EPDM joints — probe-tested, because seams are where flat roofs fail.

Residential & commercial

The same commercial-grade membranes and details, whether it's a 40,000 sq ft warehouse or the flat roof over your porch.

Systems

Three membranes. One dry building.

Membrane choice follows the roof — deck type, usage, exposure, and budget.

01 — Proven & repairable

EPDM rubber

Six decades of track record in freeze-thaw climates. Black membrane that's economical, durable, and easy to maintain.

02 — Reflective & welded

TPO

White, heat-welded membrane that reflects summer heat and cuts cooling costs by up to 30% — today's most-installed system.

03 — Premium membrane

PVC

Hot-air welded, chemically resistant, and excellent with standing water — the premium spec for restaurants and industrial roofs.

04 — The foundation

Tapered insulation

Engineered slope built into the insulation layer — added R-value and positive drainage in one package.

Process

Spec, slope, seal.

Flat roofing is engineering first, installation second. We do both in-house.

01

Assessment

Moisture scan, core sample where needed, drainage review, and honest repair-versus-replace numbers.

02

System design

Membrane, insulation R-value, tapered slope plan, and edge details — specified in writing.

03

Installation

Existing roof handled per spec, insulation set, membrane installed and seams welded or seamed to manufacturer standard.

04

Test & warranty

Seam probing, drainage check, photo documentation, and warranty registration.
