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
I could not be any happier with the quality of material and the professionalism of the roofers and Richard, my sales rep. He told me what, when, and how long my job took and hit the nail on the head. I understand now why the company is #1 in the business, and #1 with me. When asked, I will always answer ELO ROOFING to anyone asking for a recommendation. Thank-you again for a quality job.
I was skeptical about this company initially but me salesman Chris made me feel very comfortable and confident ELO roofing was a great decision. He was informative and patiently thoroughly walked me thru the process. I highly recommend Chris and ELO Roofing professionalism and they clean up well.
ELO did a excellent job. I really don’t see how it could have been any easier or convenient. They finished the roof and clean up in one day. I would definitely recommend them if you need a new roof or just repairs.
It was effortless doing business with ELO. They are professional and helpful durning the whole process. I really didn’t have to do anything. I would recommend them to all my friends. I was extremely impressed with all the help I received from Amanda, Patrick and Jeremy. Give ELO a try, you won’t be disappointed!
