Commercial Modified Bitumen Roofing in Birmingham, Alabama

How we can help
Choose the right fix based on the roof's condition
Modified bitumen systems vary by sheet type, surfacing, attachment, and number of plies. A repair must be compatible with the existing material and address the source of movement or water entry.
Some roofs may be candidates for coating after repair and preparation. Others need partial or full replacement when deterioration is widespread.

Common questions
Questions about modified bitumen roofing
What makes modified bitumen different from built-up roofing?
Modified bitumen commonly uses factory-made reinforced sheets, while traditional built-up roofing is assembled from multiple layers of bitumen and reinforcement in place.
Can modified bitumen be coated?
Some systems can be candidates after condition, moisture, surfacing, adhesion, and compatibility are evaluated.
Can punctures be repaired?
Localized damage can often be repaired if surrounding material and the substrate remain serviceable.
