Flat roofs are a popular choice for commercial and residential buildings, but they require regular maintenance and repairs to ensure that they remain watertight and in good condition.

Flat roofs are less expensive than pitched roofs, but there is still a range of costs depending on the specific materials and installation.

The popularity of flat roofs among U.S. consumers is because of their cost-effectiveness, easy accessibility to the roof, increased utility, and the technological advancements that help people deal with the problem of snow despite not building a pitched roof.
