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.

We had our Spanish Concrete tile roof replaced with Metal Panel roof tiles by Elo Roofing. My first contact was with Dustin. He explained what the process would be and how long it will take. He listened and answered all my questions.A week before, Dustin brought over Kyle who was going to be the project lead. They together sent me the whole plan on day by day activities for the roof tear and install steps. So I knew exactly what I was expecting every day.Both Dustin & Kyle were very respectful, responsive and took care of any minor issues that popped up.I was thoroughly impressed by their dedication. No matter day or time, they always got back to me on my queries. For that I am very thankful & appreciative to both of them.I would most definitely recommend Elo Roofing, Dustin & Kyle in your roof replacement journey.

I had a very good experience with ELO Roofing. The salesman was knowledgeable and helped me every step of the way. He walked me through the whole process from what I needed, insurance coverage, and permits. He really made it easy for me. Once everything was scheduled they arrived promptly on the scheduled date to drop off materials. The workers arrived early the next day and worked tirelessly the whole day finishing up around 6:00. They were thorough in cleaning up all materials and debris. I’m so happy to have my roof complete!
