Please tell me who told you flat roofs should not be insulated? WHY? I'm in Washington an all roofs over living space get insulated.


As far as you being able to do it I can't vouch for you. Maybe you can, maybe you can't. I've seen some roofers in my life that can't even roof but that doesn't mean you can't. If you are putting on torchdown don't even consider it. Hire it out. If you are putting some sort of emulsion you might be able to try it. I have a lot of tools also but I know I can't do everything. Learn how to install the product that you are interested in installing and if you comprehend the process clearly then its up to you to give it a whirl. If you mess it up you wouldn't be the first homeowner that ever done such a thing and if you get it right you wouldn't be the first for that. If you do mess it up though you could spend a lot more then what it would have originally costed to do it the first time. At least its a small project, ideal for learning.

Best of luck,
