The Experienced Built-Up Roofing Experts in Florida

Built-up roofing (BUR), which is also known as “tar and gravel” roofing, has one of the most solid reputations in the commercial roofing market. While it has been common for some time, it is still a complicated process that requires finesse. Our roofers at Elo Roofing in Palm Coast 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.

Our experience with ELO Roofing Company was exceptional. Jared Householder and Victoria Rodriguez were both instrumental in making the project smooth and stress‑free. Jared managed the onsite work with professionalism and care, while Victoria kept communication clear and timely throughout. Their teamwork made the entire process seamless, and the finished roof looks fantastic. We truly appreciate their dedication and highly recommend them.

There’s a long story with this company, but the short version is they absolutely earned this review. I had multiple companies come out and quote me for a METAL roof — specifically standing seam, NOT corrugated. There’s a lot of strong competition out there, so I was extremely picky. These guys didn’t just try to compete, they went above and beyond to stand out. The install came out amazing. Were there a few issues during the process? Yes. The ladder crew damaged some stucco — they fixed it. The pool solar removal got a little messy — they fixed that too. That’s the difference. Problems happen on big jobs. What matters is whether a company takes responsibility and makes it right, and they absolutely did. The attention to detail impressed me too. They even painted the roof pipes black so everything matched cleanly. Small touch, but it shows they actually care about the finished product instead of rushing out the door. Honestly, I couldn’t be happier with the final result.

We had a great experience with Elo. From start to finish they had the process super optimized. They guided us through the claim process with the insurance accurately and it was approved quickly. Most of the installation of the roof took a day, waited for the inspection of the county, and then completed the rest in an evening. Very clean job and organized execution. Out of all the companies that worked on our community after we got hail damage, this is the one that always impressed me the most. Highly recommended. Kudos to Jeff, Eric, and the rest of the team.
