Jonesboro Premium Roofing provides professional flat & low-slope roofing in Jonesboro, AR for residential and commercial properties across northeast Arkansas. Low slope turns up here in two places: the porch or rear addition on an older ridge house, and the back half of most downtown buildings. In both cases the failure is at the edge or the outlet, not out in the field where people look first.
On a membrane roof the water is going to one or two places by design, which means the discharge is concentrated by a factor no pitched roof ever approaches. On a building sitting on ridge ground, a single scupper can be doing the work of an entire roof plane at one fixed point on the soil below, storm after storm, for decades.
So the first thing we look at is where the leader actually lands, and what it has been landing on. We have moved more scuppers and repiped more internal drains in this town than we have replaced membranes, and it is very often the cheaper of the two fixes by a margin wide enough that the conversation simply ends there and everyone goes home happy.
On the membrane itself: TPO for most new low-slope work, since a hot-air weld makes a seam stronger than the sheet on either side. EPDM where there is heavy rooftop equipment and regular foot traffic. Modified bitumen on small residential porch decks, where a torch-free self-adhered sheet beats trying to weld neatly around three obstructions in a four-foot span. We name the product and the membrane thickness on the proposal, not simply the word membrane.
Ponding is the argument we have most often, so here is our position. Standing water is not automatically a failure, and a quarter inch that clears within two days is normal and fine. Water still sitting there on day four is telling you the slope or the drain is wrong, and adding another layer of membrane over the top of it fixes precisely nothing.
Tapered insulation is the honest answer for a genuinely dead-flat deck, and it is not cheap. We will price it next to a drain relocation so you can see both numbers side by side and decide with real information. Sometimes moving the drain wins by ten thousand dollars, and you deserve to know that before anybody asks for a signature. Both numbers go on the same page so you can hold them up side by side.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — six-inch seamless K-style aluminum trough on hidden hangers, three-by-four-inch downspout with an oversized outlet, solid-wall conveyance pipe past the slope break, stone splash apron at the discharge point, kickout flashing at the roof-to-wall corner, synthetic underlayment fastened with capped nails — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Jonesboro and nearby communities including Paragould, Brookland, Bono, Bay.

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 six-inch seamless K-style aluminum trough on hidden hangers, three-by-four-inch downspout with an oversized outlet, solid-wall conveyance pipe past the slope break, stone splash apron at the discharge point, 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 Jonesboro 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 northeast Arkansas means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Jonesboro Chooses Jonesboro Premium Roofing
- ✓Every proposal states where each downspout ends and what it lands on, because Jonesboro sits on a loess ridge and the soil at that point is the part of the system most likely to fail first.
- ✓We refuse to put drywells, pop-up emitters or buried infiltration on ridge lots. Loess sits over a fragipan around two feet down, so water put into the ground near the house cannot descend and travels sideways at footing depth instead.
- ✓Roof inspections here end at grade. We photograph headcuts, undermined splash blocks and exposed footings, and we tell you when a reported roof leak is actually ground water rather than selling you a roof.
- ✓Metal roofs only leave here with a full gutter package on a sloped lot, because a smooth panel delivers the same rainfall in a shorter, harder pulse and an unguttered drip line cuts a trench in erodible silt.
