Tulsa Premium Roofing provides professional flat & low-slope roofing in Tulsa, OK for residential and commercial properties across Green Country. Downtown Tulsa and the older commercial strips are masonry buildings from the 1920s through the 1960s, and nearly all of them wear low-slope roofs hidden behind parapets. The city's non-residential guidelines name tar-and-gravel among the original coverings, which tells you what is usually underneath.
Here is the part building owners are rarely told, and it is good news. A low-slope roof behind a parapet is not visible from the street. The guidelines hang their appearance rules on street visibility, so on most of this stock the membrane choice is genuinely open even when the building sits inside an overlay district. The parapet cap and the cornice are what the rules are protecting, not the field.
So the decision is a technical one. Mechanically fastened TPO or PVC where the deck takes fasteners and the budget is finite. EPDM where the roof is small, complicated and full of penetrations. Two-ply modified bitumen where foot traffic is constant or the roof carries kitchen exhaust that would attack a thermoplastic sheet. Foot traffic and exhaust decide more of this than any brochure does.
Drainage is where almost every one of these buildings loses. They were framed dead flat, the interior drains were sized in a different era, and eight decades of settlement have put the low point somewhere the original designer did not intend. We survey with a level and water, then build tapered polyisocyanurate to a real slope rather than accepting the ponding as a characteristic of the building. Water finds the answer faster than a drawing does.
Edges and parapets take the rest of the attention. Through-wall flashing behind the coping, a proper base tie-in at the parapet face, secondary overflow scuppers set above the primary drain line, and terminations reglet-cut into a mortar joint instead of surface-nailed into a brick face that will spall. Every one of those details has drowned a building with a perfectly sound membrane.
The recommendation we make most often on this stock is smaller than what people expect to hear. A twenty-year built-up roof with sound insulation, a few open laps and a failed drain flange does not need replacing. It needs the laps repaired, the flange rebuilt and, if the field is dry, a coating. We check with core cuts before we sell anybody a tear-off. Core cuts cost very little and they settle the question.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — architectural laminate shingles encouraged by the city design guidelines, cedar shingle coverings original to Tulsa oil-boom bungalows, tar-and-gravel built-up roofing over masonry commercial blocks, exposed rafter tails and eave brackets carried through a tear-off, counterflashing reglets cut into soft lime mortar joints, clay tile matched by profile, texture and directional orientation — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Tulsa and nearby communities including Sand Springs, Owasso, Sapulpa, Claremore.

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 architectural laminate shingles encouraged by the city design guidelines, cedar shingle coverings original to Tulsa oil-boom bungalows, tar-and-gravel built-up roofing over masonry commercial blocks, exposed rafter tails and eave brackets carried through a tear-off, 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 Tulsa 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 Green Country means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Tulsa Chooses Tulsa Premium Roofing
- ✓We look up your zoning before we quote, so nobody discovers a review requirement halfway through a tear-off with the deck already open to weather.
- ✓We identify the original covering from physical evidence in the eave, the attic and the flashing, not from a guess made standing in the driveway.
- ✓We price the honest option first. Putting the same covering back is often cheaper, faster and free of review, and we will say so before we sell an upgrade.
- ✓Our eave carpentry is done by people who can repair a rafter tail and a bracket rather than wrap the whole assembly in aluminum and call it maintenance.
