At Trusted Roofing Exteriors, we specialize in providing durable, cost-effective roofing solutions, including Tar and Gravel Roofing systems, for commercial properties. Known for their longevity and resilience, tar and gravel roofs are a fantastic option for flat and low-slope commercial buildings. Whether you need a new roof installation, a replacement, or ongoing maintenance, our experienced team is here to deliver high-quality roofing services that stand the test of time.

What is Tar and Gravel Roofing?

Tar and gravel roofing, also known as Built-Up Roofing (BUR), is a time-tested roofing system used for flat or low-slope commercial buildings. It consists of multiple layers of asphalt (or bitumen) reinforced with materials like fiberglass or polyester, topped with a layer of gravel or aggregate. These layers combine to create a durable, waterproof barrier, offering superior protection from the elements. The gravel layer also provides UV protection, shielding the roof’s underlying layers from damage and extending the roof’s lifespan.

Benefits of Tar and Gravel Roofing:

• Durability: Tar and gravel roofs are built to withstand harsh weather conditions such as heavy rain, high winds, and extreme temperatures. The multiple layers provide robust protection against punctures, abrasions, and wear, ensuring long-lasting performance.
• Waterproofing: The asphalt layers form a continuous waterproof barrier, preventing leaks and water infiltration, making them an ideal choice for buildings in areas prone to rainfall.
• UV Protection: The gravel or aggregate top layer helps protect the roof from UV radiation, reducing wear and tear on the underlying materials and ensuring the roof remains strong over time.
• Energy Efficiency: Although tar and gravel roofs are typically darker, they offer excellent insulation, helping to maintain a comfortable temperature inside the building and reducing energy costs year-round.
• Low Maintenance: Tar and gravel roofing systems require minimal maintenance once installed. Regular inspections and occasional cleaning are usually sufficient to maintain the roof’s functionality.
• Affordable: Tar and gravel roofs are a budget-friendly option for commercial properties, providing excellent value with their durability, low maintenance requirements, and long lifespan.

Tar and Gravel Roofing Installation Process

At Trusted Roofing Exteriors, our installation process is designed to ensure that your tar and gravel roof is built for long-term durability. Here’s an overview of the typical steps involved:

1. Preparation and Roof Decking:
   Before installation, we inspect the roof deck for any damage, clean the surface, and make any necessary repairs to ensure a smooth foundation for the new roofing system.
2. Base Layer Installation:
   The first step in building your roof involves applying a base layer of roofing felt or fiberglass matting saturated with hot bitumen (asphalt). This forms the foundation for the rest of the system.
3. Adding Additional Bitumen Layers:
   After the base layer, we apply multiple layers of hot bitumen, reinforced with fiberglass or polyester to increase strength and prevent cracking. The number of layers depends on the roof’s specific needs.
4. Applying the Gravel or Aggregate:
   The final step involves adding a layer of gravel or another aggregate to the top. This protects the underlying layers from UV rays, physical damage, and severe weather conditions.
5. Final Inspection:
   Once the installation is complete, we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure everything is installed to the highest standards. Any necessary adjustments or repairs are made to ensure optimal performance.
