Built-Up Roofing (BUR) Membrane

The best type of roof is one you can trust to provide years of protection, reliability and aesthetic appeal. Built-up roof services from Scro’s Roofing Company are designed with our expertise and attention to detail in mind so you can enjoy an ongoing stellar performance from your roof. BUR is also preferred for commercial structures — you can trust built-up roofing solutions for maximum value over a long period.

What Is Built-Up Roofing Membrane?

Built-up roofing membrane is a common type of roofing material used on low-slope or flat roofs. This material consists of multiple layers of ply sheets and asphalt, which combine to create a protective membrane that repels harsh outdoor elements. The membrane is typically topped off with stone aggregate for additional protection and aesthetic appeal.

We can use multiple methods to install these coatings, including hot and cold built-up roofing. While both methods are common for flatter roofs, cold built-up roofing is often preferred because it’s safer and easier to install under poor weather conditions.

Advantages of Built-Up Roofing Membrane for Commercial Buildings

When searching for the ideal roof system, you have a variety of factors to consider. Built-up roofing membranes come with many benefits, especially for larger commercial buildings:

Excellent longevity: Built-up roofing membrane is designed to last, with some of the toughest constructions lasting 30 years or more in warmer climates. You can count on our roofing systems for longevity, which helps ensure long-term cost-effectiveness and reliability.
Elemental resistance: Built-up roofing systems resist harmful elements that might otherwise speed up the wear and tear on your building. For example, our systems help protect against water penetration, ultraviolet (UV) rays and fire.
Easy maintenance: The most convenient roofing solution is one that is durable and easy to maintain. BUR’s low-maintenance properties mean you can focus on normal operations without having to constantly watch your roof’s performance. While it’s an initial investment, built-up roofing costs less over the long term, thanks to its high-quality construction.

We had significant hail damage due to the May 2016 hail storm in Cary, and warded off all the storm chasers that came through our area for 2 months after. I called Scro’s Roofing after the insurance adjusted had written off the roof, and they worked us into their busy schedule. Amazing job done by an amazing and hard-working crew. I was impressed by the way they used tarps to protect the landscaping around the house, and Patricia was pretty particular about cleaning up after the crew. Danny was a pleasure to work with, and he provided several improvements to our roof like a installing a chimney cricket and ridge vents. We used Moire black shingles and the roof looks...

In life you get what you pay for and this is certainly true with Scro’s Roofing. There are so many “fly be night” roofing companies out there who do not have the long standing customer service and support that a local roofing company can offer. Everyone should take the time to educate themselves about the roofing process and the track record of the company, as this is a very larger investment and an area where you don’t want to cut corners. The team at Scro’s Roofing provided me with many educational links and never pressured me into a sale. They wanted to ensure that I fully understood the process and trusted that I would make an intelligent decision. This sharing...

Scro’s Roofing installed a new roof on our home and everything went exactly as planned and scheduled. The installation crew covered all our plants and deck when removing the roof and then cleaned up perfectly when the job was done. We were kept informed all along the job from start to finish so we knew how and when everything would be done. I’ve never experienced a contractor, a company or an owner like Danny who worked with us on every detail. Further, we had gotten several other quotes with Scro’s being the best. This project couldn’t have been done more smoothly… We greatly appreciate Danny the owner and Sarah our scheduling contact. They both were there for all and every...

We just had our roof done by Scro’s Roofing, and we are very happy with the results. Danny and his office were very helpful in answering all of my questions. I did a good bit of research beforehand, and after talking with Danny, I had a lot of confidence that they are up to date on best practices and latest materials. In particular, I liked that they hand nail the shingles, use a synthetic underlayment instead of tar paper, install a drip edge, and provide a 10-year labor warranty. The thing about getting a new roof is that most people may not find out whether the installer did a bad job or used inferior materials for 5-10 years when they...

The big hail storm of May 2, 2016 did extensive damage to our roof (and Leaf-Guard gutters as well). Our insurance company appraised the roof and said it all needed to be replaced. My first choice was again Scro’s Roofing. I was not about to use one of the “storm chasers” that descended on our neighborhood like carpetbaggers from who knows where. Danny, the owner of Scro’s Roofing looked up my record from seven years ago and was able to give me an estimate almost immediately from the information he already had on file. Their estimate was within a couple percent of what our insurance had already written a check which made the decision to go with Scro’s Roofing again...

I had a great experience working with Danny and his team. Danny even recommended a less expensive roofing product based on our needs. Sarah was so helpful and accommodating throughout the process. I wish all home repairs/renovations were this easy and professional. A wonderful company to work with!
