Flat & Torch Down Roofing

Flat roofs done wrong leak from day one — we install them the right way so they hold up through every Southeast Texas storm season.

Flat and low-slope roofs require a completely different installation approach than pitched roofs — and not every roofing contractor understands that difference well enough to get it right. Water does not shed off a flat roof the way it does off a steep pitch. It pools, it sits, it finds every weak seam and improperly sealed edge. In Southeast Texas, where heavy rain is a regular occurrence, a flat roof that was not installed with proper drainage and seam integrity in mind will cause serious water damage problems faster than most homeowners expect. At Bobby Galicia Roofing, we have been installing flat and torch down roofing systems correctly for over 30 years.

Torch down roofing — also called modified bitumen — is one of the most reliable flat roofing systems available for residential and light commercial structures in this climate. It is applied in layers using an open flame torch that bonds the material to the surface below, creating a watertight membrane that handles heat, UV exposure, and standing water better than older built-up roofing alternatives. The installation process requires real skill and experience. Applied incorrectly, torch down roofing can blister, crack, or separate at the seams within a few years. Applied correctly by an experienced crew, it delivers years of reliable, low-maintenance performance.

If you have a flat or low-slope roof on your home or a light commercial property in Silsbee, Beaumont, Lumberton, or the surrounding area, call (409) 457-1866 for a free estimate. Bobby will come out, assess your current roof system, and give you a straight answer on what it needs — whether that is a new installation, a repair to an existing system, or a full replacement of a flat roof that has already failed. You will know exactly what you are getting before any work begins.

What We Offer:

Experience With Flat Roof Systems Specifically — Flat roofing is not the same as pitched roofing, and a contractor who primarily does shingle work does not always have the depth of experience needed to install a flat system correctly. Bobby has been working with flat and torch down roofing systems in Southeast Texas for over 30 years. That experience matters when the details of the install determine whether the roof holds or leaks.
Proper Drainage Planning — The most common reason flat roofs fail is not material quality — it is poor drainage design. Water that cannot move off a flat roof correctly will find a way through it. Bobby assesses drainage as part of every flat roof installation and makes sure water moves the way it should before the job is finished.
Torch Down Applied Correctly — Torch down roofing requires an experienced hand. Too much heat damages the material. Too little heat leaves seams unbonded. Bobby's crew applies modified bitumen roofing with the technique and attention that produces a membrane that actually performs for the long term.
Honest Assessment on Repair vs. Replace — Not every flat roof that is causing problems needs to be replaced. Bobby will tell you honestly whether a targeted repair will solve the issue or whether the system has failed to the point where replacement is the smarter investment. You get a straight answer either way.
Free Estimates, No Obligation — Bobby comes out and assesses your flat roof at no charge. You get a clear scope of work and a real price before any work starts on your property.
