Garland Premium Roofing provides professional flat & low-slope roofing in Garland, TX for residential and commercial properties across the East Fork corridor. The flat roof on a Garland house is almost never the house. It is the carport, the patio cover, the porch that got enclosed in 1977, or the den somebody extended out toward the back fence. Almost all of them were shingled by somebody who knew better.
Those additions are where shingles go wrong. The residential code stops asphalt shingles at a two-in-twelve slope, and between two and four in twelve it requires doubled underlayment beneath them. A great many of these add-ons sit at one in twelve with ordinary laminate laid straight onto them, which is precisely why they leak at the wall junction every spring and get patched every summer. That code number is worth knowing before you accept a quote.
What belongs there is a membrane. Two-ply modified bitumen with a granulated cap for small residential decks, or mechanically fastened single-ply where the area is larger and there is somewhere solid to land the fasteners. Tapered insulation under it to move water toward an actual outlet rather than into whichever corner the framing has settled toward. Cap sheet color matters far less than the fall underneath it.
These add-ons are also where the electrical equipment ends up. The meter, the riser and sometimes the panel share the wall that the low roof dies into, so the termination detail there is doing double duty. We run the membrane up that wall behind a counterflashing and keep every conduit penetration out of the drainage path completely. Keeping conduit out of the water is free at design stage.
Ponding is the other thing we argue about with people. Water still standing three days after rain means the deck has deflected or the fall was never built, and a new membrane over the same geometry buys you the identical puddle in a cleaner color. We correct the fall with tapered board or we decline the job and explain why. Standing water freezes twice a winter here and finishes a tired seam.
Not everything needs a system, though. A sound patio cover with one split seam and dry insulation underneath gets a torch-applied patch and another five or six years out of what is already there. Ask us which of the two you have before you budget for the big number, because the answer is free and it is often the small one. Five more years out of a patio cover is a fine outcome.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — galvanized service mast with two-inch riser conduit, rubber-collared roof jack at a mast penetration, point of attachment lagged into a rafter tail, spaced plank decking re-sheeted with structural panels, granulated cap sheet over two-ply SBS modified bitumen, walk pads set under rooftop conduit racks — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Garland and nearby communities including Rowlett, Sachse, Rockwall, Heath.

Materials, equipment and how we do flat & low-slope roofing
The difference between flat & low-slope roofing that lasts and flat & low-slope roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with galvanized service mast with two-inch riser conduit, rubber-collared roof jack at a mast penetration, point of attachment lagged into a rafter tail, spaced plank decking re-sheeted with structural panels, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Garland job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the East Fork corridor means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Garland Chooses Garland Premium Roofing
- ✓We photograph the mast, weatherhead and point of attachment on the first visit, because on a Garland ranch the service entrance is part of the roof whether or not anyone puts it in the estimate.
- ✓Riser and mast repairs are handed to a licensed electrician on their own city permit instead of being quietly worked around, since electrical is regulated trade work in Texas and roofing is not.
- ✓We measure the clearance between the conductors and the roof plane before you buy, because new decking and a thicker covering both raise that plane and shrink the gap.
- ✓Utility work orders are booked with Garland Power and Light at the start of a job rather than the week the material is delivered, so nobody sits waiting on a truck.
