Built-Up Roofing That Doesn’t Back Down in Joliet

 

Flat roof under pressure? You want something that’s got muscle—and built-up roofing (BUR) is just that. It’s thick, layered, and built to take on everything Joliet weather throws at it. Rain, snow, hail, foot traffic—you name it, this system can handle it.

​

No gimmicks. Just solid protection that goes the distance.

​

​

What’s BUR Roofing Made Of?

BUR stands for Built-Up Roofing, and it does exactly what it says: layer upon layer of bitumen and fabric, stacked and sealed. It’s finished with either gravel or a protective coating for UV and storm resistance.

Why Joliet building owners trust it:

• Multi-ply construction = no weak spots

• Gravel surface takes the hit from UV and hail

• Handles foot traffic and rooftop equipment like a champ

How We Install BUR in Joliet

How to Maintain It

BUR is tough, but check it once a year. Especially after heavy weather. We’ll make sure seams are sealed, gravel’s in place, and water’s not sitting where it shouldn’t. Most issues? One visit and it’s handled.

​

This isn’t a babysitting roof—it’s a stay-out-of-your-way roof.

​

​

What It Costs

BUR’s in the mid-to-high pricing zone, but what you’re paying for is peace of mind. It lasts. It handles the elements. And it doesn’t call for major repairs every few years.

​

We quote it straight. No padded labor. No mystery math.
