Our Built-Up Roofing Services
BUR Installation & Replacement
For replacements, we evaluate the existing assembly, insulation, and deck before recommending a system. Our crews install BUR to manufacturer specifications and Florida’s wind uplift requirements, including proper edge metal, flashings, and drainage detailing — the failure points where most flat roofs actually leak.
BUR Repair & Restoration
Blisters, alligatoring, open laps, ponding damage, and flashing failures can often be addressed through commercial flat roof repair or restoration rather than full replacement. Options such as re-flashing, targeted ply repairs, and reflective coating systems can add years of service life at a fraction of the cost of a new roof.
Preventative Maintenance Programs
Commercial roofs fail slowly, then suddenly. Scheduled inspections and maintenance catch membrane wear, clogged drains, and storm damage early, protecting both the roof and your warranty coverage.
Our Commercial Roofing Process
- Inspection & Assessment - We evaluate membrane condition, drainage performance, flashing and penetration details, insulation moisture, and remaining service life, then give you a straight answer: maintain, restore, or replace.
- Proposal & System Design - Your written proposal outlines the recommended scope, material options, timelines, permit requirements, and cost breakdown. Florida’s commercial wind uplift codes drive attachment and edge design, and we handle that engineering documentation.
- Installation & Quality Control - Our crews manage staging, safety, weather monitoring, and daily communication to minimize disruption to your operations with seam, flashing, and drainage inspections throughout the project.
- Final Walkthrough & Warranty - We complete a final inspection with you and deliver warranty documentation and a maintenance plan built for your building.
