Parma Premium Roofing provides professional flat & low-slope roofing in Parma, OH for residential and commercial properties across Cleveland's southwest suburbs. Very little in this city is a flat roof in the commercial sense. What we mostly work on is the low-slope patch: a rear addition, a covered porch, a breezeway, a garage tied into the side of a pitched main roof. Almost every failure we find is at that tie-in.
The transition is hard because two systems meet there and neither one was designed to serve as the other's edge. A membrane has to run up the wall or up the slope, terminate against something solid, and then be counterflashed by the shingle course above it. When it is instead run to the wall and sealed with a bead of caulk, you have a two-year roof no matter what the membrane itself cost.
There is a code detail here worth knowing. The ice barrier requirement in Section 905.1.2 of the Residential Code of Ohio carries an explicit exception for roof assemblies that terminate at a vertical wall over unconditioned floor areas. An unheated porch roof running against the house wall is very often exactly that condition, and knowing what does and does not apply is what keeps a small job small.
Membrane choice matters less than the details around it. EPDM is forgiving, easy to repair years later and genuinely hard to make look tidy. TPO welds into a monolithic sheet and needs a properly set hot-air weld to be worth anything at all. Two-ply modified bitumen is still an excellent answer on a small porch and does not require a crew that owns a welder and knows its settings.
Slope is the part everybody skips. A low-slope roof that ponds is a roof being tested continuously at every seam, and a quarter inch per foot of fall to a real outlet is worth more than any upgrade in membrane grade you could buy. Sometimes that means tapered insulation, and sometimes it simply means moving the point where the water is supposed to leave the roof.
Our usual recommendation on these is smaller than what people expect to hear from a roofer. Rebuild the transition properly, repair the field, add fall where it is missing, and leave the rest of a serviceable membrane alone. Replacing a whole porch roof to fix eighteen inches of bad flashing is a scope written for the invoice.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen carried inside the exterior wall line, six fasteners per shingle driven flush inside the printed nailing zone, step flashing woven course by course against a sidewall, counterflashing folded into a reglet ground out of a mortar joint, kickout flashing at the foot of a roof-to-wall run, attic bypass sealing at top plates, flue chases and fixture penetrations — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Parma and nearby communities including Parma Heights, Seven Hills, Brooklyn, Broadview Heights.

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 self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen carried inside the exterior wall line, six fasteners per shingle driven flush inside the printed nailing zone, step flashing woven course by course against a sidewall, counterflashing folded into a reglet ground out of a mortar joint, 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 Parma 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 Cleveland's southwest suburbs means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Parma Chooses Parma Premium Roofing
- ✓We specify the ice barrier from the Residential Code of Ohio and the shape of your roof, not from a regional sales template written for Geauga County snowfall.
- ✓Every quote starts in the attic. If warm air is reaching your deck, no membrane we could sell you would fix the problem you actually called us about.
- ✓Deck repair is billed as boards actually replaced, counted in front of you, rather than as a padded allowance that quietly disappears if we do not need it.
- ✓We hand-seal any shingle installed onto a cold deck the same day, because an unsealed tab in November is a creased tab after the first February gust.
