Built-up Roofing
The Premier Built-Up Roofing Services in Orange County
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 Guardian Roofs 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. Guardian Roofs 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. It is 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
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.

Mario and his team did a fantastic job re-roofing our house. His crew worked extremely hard from 7am to 7pm, 6 days a week to complete the job on time. I could tell that they were absolute pros and the entire process was done in an organized, … More logical, and professional manner. Additionally, Mario was a great communcator and always got right back to me when I had questions or requested accomodations, such as covering and uncovering our pool, etc. Highly recommend!

Working with Guardian on my roofing project was a first class experience. Mario was awesome in the estimation phase with his specific knowledge of what needed to be done. Throughout the project, communication was good and responsive. … More The work crew worked full days, each day, and cleaned up nicely after themselves. Roof looks good. I have no construction experience to rely on, but things look good and correct. I don't think I could ask anything more from a roofing contractor.

Let me tell ya, dealing with these guys was a breath of fresh air. Mario, the boss over there, is a … More real straight shooter—honest and professional, just how I like it.
