Flat Roof Solutions in Abilene & the Big Country | Bunton Roofing
Flat & Low-Slope Roofing for Residential & Commercial Properties
Flat roofs — commonly referred to in the industry as low-slope roofing systems — are widely used on commercial buildings and some residential properties throughout West Texas. These roofing systems are valued for their durability, weather resistance, energy efficiency, and cost-effective performance when installed by trained professionals.
Unlike shingle roofing, flat and low-slope systems require specialized materials and installation methods to ensure proper drainage, waterproofing, and long-term durability. That’s where experience matters.
At Bunton Roofing, we specialize in installing, repairing, and maintaining flat roofs in Abilene, Texas, and the Big Country. Our experienced professionals deliver quality workmanship, fair pricing, and exceptional customer service to ensure you receive a roof that lasts.
Drainage & Leak Protection for Flat Roofing
One of the most critical elements of any flat roof is proper water management. Pooling water can lead to premature membrane failure, leaks, and structural damage if not addressed correctly.
Our team designs and installs drainage systems including:
Interior roof drains
Scuppers
Gutters and downspout systems
Every flat roofing project we complete includes careful evaluation of drainage performance to ensure water is directed off the roof efficiently and safely.
Ongoing Flat Roof Maintenance & Repair
Routine inspections and preventative maintenance dramatically extend the life of flat roofing systems.
Bunton Roofing provides:
Professional roof inspections
Waterproofing and resealing
Membrane repairs
Flashing and penetration repair
Storm damage assessments
Smaller leaks are often repairable when caught early — saving property owners tens of thousands compared to full replacement.

Residential Flat Roofing
While flat roofs are most common on commercial buildings, some residential structures rely on low-slope roofing designs. For homeowners, partnering with a contractor who understands true commercial installation standards is essential.
We provide residential flat roofing services with the same safety training, materials, and workmanship used on our commercial projects.
Commercial Flat Roofing Experience You Can Trust
Flat and low-slope roofing requires a level of expertise far beyond standard residential work. These systems demand specialized training, strict safety standards, proper insurance coverage, and precise installation methods — and not every roofing company is qualified to do it correctly.
At Bunton Roofing, commercial roofing expertise is built into every level of our company — not just carried by a single roofing professional.
Owner John Bunton has worked in commercial roofing since 2007, gaining hands-on experience with everything from storm damage restoration and emergency leak repairs to full commercial roof replacements and preventative maintenance programs.
That knowledge extends throughout our entire operation:
Our Superintendent oversees commercial installations, jobsite safety, and quality control
Warehouse Manager manages system specifications, material staging, and manufacturer requirements
Our installation crews are professionally trained in low-slope systems, including TPO, PVC, EPDM, Modified Bitumen, and Built-Up Roofing (BUR)

FAQs
-
With proper installation and maintenance, flat roofs can last 20-30 years or more, depending on the material used and weather conditions.
-
The best material depends on your specific needs. TPO and PVC are great for energy efficiency, EPDM is cost-effective, and BUR provides time-tested durability.

Flat roofs are more prone to water pooling, which can lead to leaks if not properly maintained. However, with quality installation and regular inspections, they can be just as reliable as pitched roofs.

Yes, but with caution. Some materials, like TPO and PVC, are more resistant to foot traffic, while others may require protective walkways.
-
Absolutely! We offer flat roof repair, maintenance, and full replacements to ensure your roof stays in top condition.
