We must dedo a flat roof at church, about 3,000 sq ft. What is the best technology these days. Now it has conventional hot tar and stone. It has one center drain, and is surounded by a 2 foot brick wall with emergency scuppers in it. We have patched it all we can, we need an entire new one.

Call a roofer for a bid on a flat rubber roof.
With this technology, a thick rubber membrane is attached on the roof and heated so that the pieces melt together. After a period of 'sweating', it then gets painted with elastomeric coating.
I think the guarantee on a roof like this is 20-30 years - much longer than a conventional rolled roofing application.
This technology is not conventional everywhere yet, and I have talked to at least 3 roofers who know nothing about it, so be sure to contact a few different companies.

The rubber roof process has been around a number of years. Try a company such as EPDM. When I had a large building done about 20 years ago, the company that made the material (EPDM) secured a company that was trained on the installation of this type roof. I was very pleased.
