Built Up Roofing: A Durable Choice for Construction Professionals

Built up roofing (BUR) remains a preferred choice for construction professionals due to its durability and cost-effectiveness. Comprising layers of bitumen and reinforcing fabric, BUR is ideal for harsh climates. Current installation costs range from $5.25 to $5.85 per square foot for a typical 2,000 ft² residence, including tear-off and deck repairs.

Climate Resilience

In regions like Fort Worth, where temperatures soar and hailstorms are common, BUR's multi-layered structure offers superior impact resistance and UV protection. Reflective surfacing options can reduce attic temperatures by up to 30°F, significantly lowering cooling costs.
