Built-Up Roofing Experts in Jacksonville
Built-up roofing (BUR), which is also known as “tar and gravel” roofing, has one of the most solid reputations in Jacksonville’s commercial roofing market. It is also the most common roofing material used on low-slope or flat roofs. While it has been common for some time, it is still a complicated process that requires finesse. Our roofers at Elo Roofing have the skills, training, tools, and expertise necessary to complete a BUR installation that will help to protect your building against damages, severe weather conditions, fire, and other events which might have an adverse impact on your structure.
Built-Up Roofing Advantages
There are many reasons why BUR roofing is one of the go-to options for commercial roofing. While it is a popular commercial roofing technique, it does require skilled expertise in order to ensure a job well done. Elo Roofing is familiar with this and other commercial roofing techniques so you can rest assured your commercial roof is in good hands.
The main advantages to a BUR roof are as follows:
- Exceptional durability. Its multiple layers ensure that BUR roofs are built to endure a lot, from harsh weather to general wear and tear.
- Resistant to extreme winds.
- Seamless and waterproof. The continuous solid surface does not require seams, which seals off the areas that are most likely to leak over time.
- UV Ray reflection. Provides protection from ultraviolet rays. This also functions as a cooling mechanism for the building.
- Low maintenance. There is very minimal upkeep and maintenance needed after it is installed.
Components of Built-Up Roofs
The defining feature of built-up roofs is its multiple layers of materials, which are laminated together to give the roofing its durability. These multiple layers consist of the following:
Base sheet
The base sheet is the foundational layer and is usually made of fiberglass, asphalt coated organic sheet, or asphalt coated venting sheet.
Felts or fabrics
coal or tar saturated This layer is made up of organic felt, cotton fabric or burlap that has been saturated in coal or tar.Bitumen
The most common material used for the bitumen layer is asphalt, but this can also include coal tar or lap cement.Surfacing component
This outermost level consists of gravel, asphalt or minerals. This can also be topped with a reflective coating.Ready to Make the Switch to a BUR System?

LOCAL REVIEWS
HEAR FROM OUR CUSTOMERS
Tyler from ELO was a great person to working. He was patient and persistent. Helping us with insurance issues to picking up the right color for our roof. He is respectful and understanding. Job was done beautifully. Thank you 😊.
Was dreading having to replace my roof. Tom with ELO roofing made the process simple and easy to get through. Kept in touch through the whole process. The price was very good and the timely completion of the job was exactly as it was explained. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend ELO roofing to anyone in the market for a roof. You can't go wrong.
This review is very overdue and I apologize if I only do it today. But time will test the durability of their work, and the season of huricane and storm is already here. I am truly satisfied and grateful on how they helped me and my mother go thru the processes of fixing and changing our roof. We trusted them with all our hearts that this project will be done thru the help of Maria and Rom Guzman. They consider us not a client but like part of their own family that's in need and must be helped. For that I am thankful, we are thankful.They finished our roof fast and efficient. No stress in our side and also gives us update when needed. It has been 6 months past and hurricane and storm passed by and all I can say is we never have any problems like leaking or any fallen shingles.Again, thank you to Rom Guzman and Maria for helping a family like us. May God bless you for your kindness and love to us and to the other families that you are helping.
It seems like every company these days say they are customer focused and committed to excellent customer service. Some companies deliver on this promise, but most fall short. In my 42-year career, I worked in management at several four and five-star hotels and resorts. I was generally responsible for overseeing over a hundred employees, and ensuring that they delivered a high level of excellent customer service.When my wife and I decided it was time to replace our roof, we did some research online and located four highly reviewed and rated roofers. We asked each of the four to bid on the job. We were not just looking for the cheapest bid. We wanted quality and service. We met with a sales rep from each of the four companies. They were all very professional and seemed competent and trustworthy. They were all pretty close on the price as well.ELO sent Ryan Boyd. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and he not only answered all of our questions, but he brought up important information that we did not even think to ask about. Once we signed the bid, Amanda Farrell contacted us. She is the coordinator that worked to schedule the job, and she kept in touch along the way to make sure everything was on track. Within a week, they had the permit from the county, the materials and dumpster were delivered on a Friday, and the crew showed up at 6 AM on Monday. They had told us it would take one to three days. They got it done in one. They also installed a very nice Velux skylight for us. Dylan was the site supervisor, and he kept in touch with me all day, answering my questions and responding to my concerns at every step. When everything was done, we were very happy with the installation, clean-up, and how good everything looked.A few days later, I got a call from Tim Taylor, their Quality Assurance Manager. He was following up to make sure we were happy. I told him we were 99.5% happy, but one small thing did not look right. He came to our house, and I showed him the siding on the chimney where it meets the roof. It looked a bit damaged, not terrible, but a little rough. I realized it probably wasn’t even anything they had done as we looked at it with him. He didn’t miss a beat. He said we can fix that for you. A few days later, he came back with another man to help him, and they made it look like new. Five-star hospitality.Top notch customer service, didn’t nickel and dime us, friendly, and competent. We would highly recommend.
