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.

Great experience and the Elo staff quickly fixed my roof leak the same day. THANKS! Review update: months later the same roof leak is back, we asked Elo to come and look at our roof again, water is now leaking again in the same spot when it rains heavily. Elo came out, replaced a 10x10 area with new shingles and said they found a damaged plywood clip. Payed an additional 830.00 for this repair in July. After the repair was completed we bleached and painted the stained ceiling returning it to clean, white and unstained. A few more weeks went by with some rainy days, we noticed the stain had come back and even larger this time. We called Elo, two kids came out and inspected and told us nothing was wrong and that there is no leak. We bleached and painted the ceiling yet again thinking this may be residual damage from before the repair. As of today in early October, the leak is still active and now brown stains are back on our spare bedroom ceiling again after all the recent rain. Called Elo again and set another inspection date for today between 9-10 am. It's now past 3pm and no one showed up or called. Will be submitting a BBB complaint for this. The bottom line is that Elo took our money to repair a leak and the leak is still there. Elo, we do want you to address this. If you do and the leak it fixed, I'll be happy to change my review back to positive.

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.

I originally gave this company a 5 Star, and I cannot express how much I regret that original rating. Back in April, this company performed roofing work on my home. At the time, everything appeared to be fine. Fast-forward six months to October, and I started having a rat problem. Initially, I assumed it was just an unfortunate situation that could happen to any homeowner. Then I went back and reviewed the video footage from when they performed the work in April. What I discovered was absolutely unacceptable. During the original repair, they cut an opening in my roof to address an existing design issue with the house. They removed the soffit, covered the area with metal, and NEVER properly replaced the soffit or sealed the opening they created. They essentially left an entry point into my home, which is responsible for my current rodent problem. Last week, I contacted the company, explained the situation, and provided photographs, videos, and multiple emails documenting the problem. They told me someone would come out this week to evaluate the issue. An appointment was scheduled for Thursday between 12 PM and 4 PM. Guess what? NOBODY SHOWED UP. I called to find out what was going on. They subsequently emailed me, explaining that their technician was running late on another repair and would instead arrive between 5 PM and 6 PM. Guess what happened next? 6:10PM, no one showed up. Let me explain why this is particularly infuriating. I took the entire day off work to be home so this company could inspect and evaluate THEIR OWN WORK, despite already having video evidence of what they did. That means I lost an entire day's income waiting for someone who couldn't even be bothered to show up. And to make matters worse? TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY. My wife had planned to take me out for a birthday dinner. Instead, we spent the evening waiting for a roofing company that apparently has no respect for its customers' time, money, or commitments. So, to recap: I paid this company to perform roofing work. Months later, I discovered what appears to be an improperly repaired opening in my roof. I now have a rodent problem, I've lost income trying to get the issue addressed, and I've wasted an entire day waiting through TWO appointment windows that they failed to honor. This has been, without question, the WORST experience I've ever had with a roofing company in Florida. I will be contacting my attorney to discuss options. And because I documented the original work, I have PHOTOGRAPHS AND VIDEO FOOTAGE showing exactly what was done. I intend to publish a full video documenting this entire experience, including the original work, the opening they left behind, and my attempts to get the company to address it. That video will be coming VERY soon on YouTube. I don't expect perfection from any contractor. Mistakes happen. But when a company makes a mistake, the absolute minimum I expect is for them to take responsibility, communicate with their customer, and actually SHOW UP when they promise to. Apparently, even that is asking too much. Buyer Beware!
