I work in a building with a flat roof.
For the past few years we've put up with leaks, occasionally having to

plastic waste baskets at various spots to catch the drips.

This fall we put up with weeks of noise, odors, parking relocations,
etc.
as they replaced the entire roof.
Last week, as everything thawed and we got some rain, we put plastic
waste
buckets at various spots to catch the drips.

Hi,
I always wonder why they build flat roof? Does it cost less?

Not if you include the horrendous cost of maintaining it, patching leaks,
having it re-roofed, etc.

Show me a flat roof and I'll show you one that either is leaking or will
shortly.

True they are all ****.
Even the best won't last more than twenty years.
The cheapos maybe ten.
