Why Las Vegas Roofing Leads the Industry in Built-Up Roofing

Built-up roofing systems are a tricky business, but the Las Vegas Roofing Company has them down to a science. They have the spirit of true innovators and craftsmen, doing what they do better than anyone else in the industry. The people of this company are among the few skilled in the ancient art of built-up roofing, and they use that skill to create roofing systems that last. Attention to detail is of utmost importance in this business, and the people of the Las Vegas Roofing Company have that attention to detail and a precision that is legendary.

Built-up roofing is one area where the company has seen success, but it could hardly call them apparent successes without a comprehensive concern for its approach. They start each project with an assessment. They really do work for the client's needs. They also customize, in some areas of the built-in roofing, their solutions with context-specific needs, conditions, and requirements. Las Vegas Roofing uses materials of high quality that come from suppliers whose reputations are also of high quality. The company's partnerships with manufacturers help guarantee ready access to superb product choices. Last but not least, the company's team controls quality rigorously. All these aspects combine and contribute to roofing systems that surpass industry standards at the same time they meet or fulfill client expectations.

At the heart of Las Vegas Roofing's business model lies customer satisfaction. The company doesn't skimp when it comes to communication and transparency; in fact, it almost seems to overkill in those areas. For Las Vegas Roofing, as with any company that provides a service or product, the first step to ensuring that customers are happy is to make sure that customers know what is going on at all times. At every project stage, clear and steady communication is worked into the project plan, as if it were the roof itself. Las Vegas Roofing has a solid method for assuring that customers know the status and stage of their project at any moment in time, and it makes customer service a serious concern—one that is taken to heart—in the company.

As a property manager responsible for a large apartment complex, I have had to interact with many roofing companies. Standing above them all is Las Vegas Roofing. They approached our commercial roofing job with awesome skill and coordination. They finished ahead of schedule and under budget. I have never seen such vigor and enthusiasm in a work crew. They must be well led; there is always evidence of good leadership when you see a construction crew working like this one did. If there is any kind of roof on our property in the future that needs fixing or if there is any new kind of roofing job, we will definitely use Las Vegas Roofing.

When it was finally necessary to change the roof on our family residence, we were presented with a plethora of alternatives. Las Vegas Roofing truly simplified this process for us. A representative of the company took us through the many choices—each one a viable option, but some better suited to our home than others. We settled on a choice of color and texture. The installation team was prompt and worked well together. They respected our property and left the job site cleaner than they found it. The most spectacular part of the job was that they took extra care to ensure that the rose bushes in front of our house were not damaged—a necessity since those roses are our pride and joy. The new roof looks great, and I have no doubt that it will perform well even under the harshest conditions that the Vegas sun can dish out.

As an architect, I have very particular standards for construction work on my own home. Las Vegas Roofing met and surpassed my expectations. Their understanding of state-of-the-art roofing technology impressed me. They executed my design for a modern, energy-efficient roof flawlessly. Every detail reflected the crew's skill, from the precision of the installation to the immaculate cleanup. They were able to smooth over several last-minute design changes without any hitch. The roof is both functional and beautiful. I've recommended Las Vegas Roofing to clients already, and I will continue to do so.

I am very impressed with the work done by Las Vegas Roofing. When a sudden leak developed during a rare desert downpour, they were at my house within a few hours. They quickly found the problem and had it fixed in short order. Their efficiency was remarkable. They explained everything to me in "normal people" terms and kept me up to date every step of the way. I already have recommended them to my neighbors and will call them again if I have any roofing needs.

Our Unique Approach to Built-Up Roofing

Our company is at the forefront of the evolution of built-up roofing systems. We have taken an innovative approach toward this staple of the low-slope roofing market. Our teams of experienced professionals conduct a comprehensive audit of each building's roof system before we tailor our solutions to meet the individual building's unique requirements. We then devise a plan that uses the latest built-up roofing technologies and materials. By combining traditional built-up roofing techniques with cutting-edge advancements, we ensure that each roof we build is a durable, long-lasting system that delivers superior low-slope performance compared to what's typical in the industry.

What distinguishes our approach to built-up roofing systems from others is our focus on sustainability. It's not enough to just have a roof—eco-friendliness has to be a part of the equation, too. Materials must be chosen with "reduce, reuse, recycle" in mind, and shouldn't be selected just to cut costs. We've got to think long-term when it comes to performance, and that requires some in-depth analysis of what certain materials do under what kind of conditions and when. Erecting sustainable systems (or anything sustainable, for that matter) is a little like building a decent igloo: It's all about using materials that work under the right conditions and thinking ahead to what those right and wrong conditions might be.

Installation is only the first step in our unique strategy. In our view, aftercare and maintenance are just as vital. A roof is a long-term investment; it can and should last decades. So, how do you protect that investment, given the ravages of time and nature? Regular inspections are the most straightforward and effective safeguard. They're nice and simple: you just do them. But "do them" isn't really a satisfactory answer, which is why I'm following it up with this one: "here's how to do them." To be even more precise, we recommend that you schedule your routine inspections for the following times: once in the autumn, just after the leaves have started to fall, and once in the spring, just before the ferocious storms of late May and early June let loose.

Tailored Built-Up Roofing for Every Need

For over a hundred years, built-up roofing systems have been a constant in the commercial roofing sector, and with good reason. They're very versatile, and they stand up well to the test of time. Think of them almost as the kind of roofing with which to build a bunker; these solutions are designed to withstand the elements. No two built-up roofs are alike, and that's because clients work with us to tailor the roofing solution to their unique needs. We understand the client's structures in and out, and we recommend what we believe to be the best built-up roofing solution for them. We customize. And that's what keeps us in the running year after year.

If you are dealing with extreme weather conditions, high foot traffic, or specific insulation requirements, built-up roofing systems offer the expertise and engineering to meet your need. They are an excellent choice across the range of potential challenges you might face. They are low slope roofs, which means they can be engineered to handle just about any kind of drainage situation. ... They can also be built to handle climate situations just about anywhere you find yourself: too hot, too cold, too dry, or too wet. Here and there, some places in the world have almost all these conditions at different times of the year. ... You can also build in a range of insulative and energy-efficient features to handle what you might otherwise mistake for a ventilation problem.

Our built-up roofing systems are tailored to a variety of structures, enabling them to serve the needs of different types and sizes of buildings. We can install them on everything from vast industrial buildings to compact commercial spaces. Their adaptability allows them to fit within the architecture of a building and to satisfy its functional requirements, making bespoke solutions the norm for our built-up roofing projects. Because our experienced installers use state-of-the-art techniques and equipment, the application of the roofing system is precise, and all components of the roof integrate seamlessly. To obey the command "Thou shalt maintain and repair thy roofing system" is also a hallmark of good built-up roof stewardship, so we offer those services as well. Whether in the context of a retrofit, new construction, a maintenance visit, or repairs of a built-up roofing system, on a good number of roofs, we are proud to say that our name is on the roof.

What is Built-Up Roofing

The built-up roofing system, more commonly known as BUR, is a traditional roofing system mostly used on low-slope or flat roofs. It consists of several layers of bitumen (asphalt or coal tar) and is alternated with reinforcing fabric called roofing felt or ply sheets. BURs are covered with either gravel or mineral granules. Both coverings offer a roof that is long-lasting and durable. Built-up roofs are also heavy roofs, and that is one reason they stay in place and last.

How long does a Built-Up Roof typically last

A Built-Up Roof can last anywhere from 20 to 30 years, on average, given that it's well-installed and properly maintained. Some of the high-quality BUR systems have been known to last up to 40 years or even more, but that scenario is under ideal conditions. If you have a BUR that's of iffy quality, that's not installed correctly, and that's not maintained (or that's in an area subjected to severe weather, for example), then you're looking at a reduced lifespan. On the other hand, if you have a BUR that's of good quality, that's installed correctly, and that's maintained regularly, then you can expect that roof to last as long as and probably longer than many of the other roof systems out there.

What are the advantages of Built-Up Roofing

For commercial and industrial buildings, Built-Up Roofing is a popular choice because it offers many favorable characteristics. Its first and most significant advantage is excellent waterproofing capacity due to layer upon layer of bitumen and a reinforcing fabric—most often, fiberglass. The system also has amazing durability, making it more than suitable for many of the roofing applications found in those commercial and industrial environments. And since BUR has been around for many decades, it can be said to enjoy an excellent track record.

Are there any disadvantages to Built-Up Roofing

Built-Up Roofing offers many advantages, but it has some downsides that need to be taken into account. One big disadvantage is the installation process, which can take a long time, require a lot of labor, and potentially be quite disruptive due to the strong odors emitted by hot bitumen. BUR systems are also weighty, which may require some buildings to add structural support so that the roof doesn't collapse under its own considerable heft. Another downside is that the materials used in a BUR have a tendency to cost a lot, which makes the initial investment for a BUR higher than for some other roofing systems. And if something goes wrong with a BUR, good luck finding the leak; repairs can be very difficult.

And if something goes wrong with a BUR, good luck finding the leak; repairs can be very difficult.
The installation of a Built-Up Roof starts with the preparation of the roof deck. This first step entails making certain that the roof deck is clean, dry, and sound. More often than not, a base sheet is laid down on the roof deck. Following that, alternating layers of bitumen and ply sheets are put down. Skilled professionals apply these layers using hot bitumen. The whole process calls for specialized equipment and a high degree of professionalism to even come close to satisfying the warranty requirements that manufacturers impose on this type of roofing system. Compliance with these warranty conditions is crucial to ensuring that the roof will perform in the manner that is called for.
The cost of a Built-Up Roof can vary widely based on many of the same factors that influence the cost of any roofing type: the size of the roof, the number of layers, materials used, and local labor rates. When all those factors have been considered, the average cost tends to fall between $5 and $9 per square foot for materials and installation. For a 10,000-square-foot roof on a commercial building, that translates to a total cost anywhere from $50,000 to $90,000. While that amount sounds daunting, consider this: BUR has a solid reputation for long-term performance and, as such, tends to be a part of the cost-effective conversation.
The primary application of built-up roofing is for low-slope or flat roofs, which makes it most appropriate for use on commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings. Because of its weight and other factors, BUR is not commonly used on residential steep-slope roofs. Typical (and atypical) examples of Bur applications: warehouses, schools, factories, office buildings. In some respects, the BUR system is similar to a pie: It is made up of layers (or "piles") of materials. But just what goes into a piece of the BUR (or "the BUR system") is nearly as variable as what goes into the covers of "The Big Book of Roofing."
