Bay Area Built-Up Roofing Contractor

The first step to install built-up roofing is preparation: you need to make sure your roof is dry, clean and that all the old roofing is removed and any dry rot or failing roof structure is repaired.

Then, after removing any old roofing, lay out the built-up roofing by using asphalt to adhere the plies to an approved fire-retardant coverboard that is either fastened or adhered to the roof deck. The coverboard should be installed over the existing roof deck, and the built-up roofing system placed on top of it.

After the BUR roofing has been installed, exposed nails should be covered with roofing cement and counterflashing.

The cost of a tar and gravel roof varies depending on the size of the area to be covered, the complexity of the design, and whether the contractor is installing new roofing or repairing an existing roof. The customer also determines much of the final price based on the quality of materials that are chosen.

If installed correctly, a tar and gravel roof can easily last up to 30 years. Built-up roofing systems are the most common type of roofs. While they may look more like something you’d use to pave a road than put on your building, they are actually a very strong and cost-effective way to protect your building’s interior.

Commercial roofing contractors have two choices when it comes to replacing a tar and gravel roof:

1. tear off and replace
2. remove the gravel and overlay a new single-ply roof system

This can be a wonderful, cost-effective solution when you are looking to improve the weather protection of your building without incurring the cost to remove the existing roof system.

The first step in repairing a built up roof is to assess the damage. Damage will be caused by one of two problems:

1. the roof has too much surface area
2. the roofing felt is damaged

If it has too much surface area, you can simply have the surface area removed. This will leave you with a slightly less flat roof, but it will be a lot easier to work with.

If the roofing felt is damaged, you can either replace it or remove it entirely, depending on how big the damaged area is. You can consider replacing the shingles, sealing them with a sealant, and then laying down new shingles over the top of the old roof.

As your roof gets built up with layers of shingles and sealant, you should have a roofer remove the shingles so that you can replace them with new ones.

There are two types of roofing warranties: the manufacturer’s warranty, or the installer’s warranty. An installer’s warranty is included from the roofing installer who installed the roof, and is generally for 1 to 5 years. Manufacturer’s warranties on built-up roofing systems range between 15-30 years.

For an additional cost, they will even pay to replace your roof, should the roofing material be defective or otherwise fail before the warranty period is over.
