The Experienced Built-Up Roofing Experts in Florida

Built-up roofing (BUR), which is also known as “tar and gravel” roofing, has one of the most solid reputations in the commercial roofing market. While it has been common for some time, it is still a complicated process that requires finesse. Our roofers at Elo Roofing in Palm Coast have the skills, training, tools, and expertise necessary to complete a BUR installation that will help to protect your building against damages, severe weather conditions, fire, and other events which might have an adverse impact on your structure.

Built-Up Roofing Advantages

There are many reasons why BUR roofing is one of the go-to options for commercial roofing. While it is a popular commercial roofing technique, it does require skilled expertise in order to ensure a job well done. Elo Roofing is familiar with this and other commercial roofing techniques so you can rest assured your commercial roof is in good hands.

The main advantages to a BUR roof are as follows:

Exceptional durability. Its multiple layers ensure that BUR roofs are built to endure a lot, from harsh weather to general wear and tear.
Resistant to extreme winds.
Seamless and waterproof. The continuous solid surface does not require seams, which seals off the areas that are most likely to leak over time.
UV Ray reflection. Provides protection from ultraviolet rays. This also functions as a cooling mechanism for the building.
Low maintenance. There is very minimal upkeep and maintenance needed after it is installed.

Components of Built-Up Roofs

The defining feature of built-up roofs is its multiple layers of materials, which are laminated together to give the roofing its durability. These multiple layers consist of the following:

Base sheet

The base sheet is the foundational layer and is usually made of fiberglass, asphalt coated organic sheet, or asphalt coated venting sheet.

Felts or fabrics

coal or tar saturated This layer is made up of organic felt, cotton fabric or burlap that has been saturated in coal or tar.

Bitumen

The most common material used for the bitumen layer is asphalt, but this can also include coal tar or lap cement.

Surfacing component

This outermost level consists of gravel, asphalt or minerals. This can also be topped with a reflective coating.

I had an OUTSTANDING experience with ELO. In particular my primary point of contact was Jared who walked me through the entire process and maintained a high level of quality control. I would HIGHLY recommend ELO for any of you roofing needs.

Dustin Richards inspected our roof this past week,I believe on 3/13/25. Three other companies also inspected it during the last3-4 weeks. Dustin was the most professional & he took more pictures than any of the others & explained in greater detailthe condition of my 25 year old TileLife cement tile roof.I will continue to use his services in the future because I am convinced he is honest & has great integrity.

I wanted to thank Elo Roofing for the outstanding job on my roof after storm damage. Chris Clarkson did a great job explaining to me the process and giving me very accurate information to start roofing repairs. Nicole was an excellent liason at their office handling correspondance and business. Tim Taylor handled the project completion. Once again, very professional, accurate, and on time and on schedule. Everyone I delt with at Elo Roofing helped to make a difficult process smooth. The new roof looks great. Elo's crew did a great job, and left the worksite clean and in good order. Would absolutely recommend and work with again in future. Hope this helps. 😃👍

They were supposed to do a repair on our roof due to leakage, after they looked at it. They never scheduled. After calling them several times with no response, and waiting on them, we finally found a great company that got the job done.
