Why Choose Built-Up Roofing

Built-up roofing—often called BUR or “tar and gravel” roofing—is one of the most time-tested systems in commercial roofing. It consists of multiple layers of bitumen and reinforcing fabrics, which are then topped with a protective surface material such as gravel or a reflective coating. This multi-layer design creates exceptional waterproofing and strength, making it ideal for flat or low-slope commercial buildings throughout Birmingham and the surrounding Alabama region. Built-up roofs also offer outstanding fire resistance, UV protection, and energy efficiency, helping property owners reduce long-term maintenance costs while improving building performance.
