Low-Slope Residential Roofing
For homes with flat or minimally pitched roofs, traditional shingles aren’t enough. Low-slope residential roofing offers watertight, energy-efficient systems specifically designed for these unique rooflines.
Engineered for Drainage. Designed for Protection.
Low-slope and flat residential roofs require specialized materials and installation methods to prevent water buildup and ensure long-term performance. At Universal Roofing Co.

Our systems are ideal for residential additions, porch overhangs, garages, and entire homes with low-pitch designs. Each solution is selected based on your roof’s structure, aesthetic goals, and long-term maintenance needs.
