Built-Up Roofing That Gets the Job Done in Skokie
If you’ve got a flat roof and want something solid, BUR is as real as it gets. Built-up roofing’s been around forever for one reason: it works. It’s thick, layered, and takes the weather without falling apart. In Skokie, that matters.
No gimmicks. Just a roof that holds.
What Is BUR Made Of?
BUR is short for Built-Up Roofing. It’s made by stacking layers of asphalt (or bitumen) and felt, then topping it off with gravel or a protective coating. The more layers you use, the tougher it gets.
Why folks stick with it:
-
More layers = more waterproofing
-
Gravel finish blocks UV and takes a hit
-
Good for roofs that get walked on
Looking for built-up roof repair near me? Whether it’s a blister, a weak seam, or a drainage issue—we fix it and keep the rest in place.
How We Install BUR in Skokie
We prep the deck, lay insulation if needed, then go layer by layer—bitumen, fabric, repeat. We top it with gravel or coating to seal it off and give it staying power. Corners and flashings? We overdo those. On purpose.
Need built-up roof installation near me? We’ll get it done right, on time, and without dragging it out.
How to Maintain It
BUR doesn’t need babying, but don’t ignore it either. Check it yearly. Make sure gravel hasn’t shifted and drains are open. Small cracks or bubbles? Patch them before they grow. Keep it clean and it’ll return the favor.
This roof’s low-maintenance, not no-maintenance.
What It Costs
BUR isn’t the cheapest, but it’s built to last. It falls in the middle-to-high range, depending on how many layers you go with. But once it’s on, it’s not something you’ll have to keep fixing.
We quote it straight. Materials, labor, timeline—nothing hidden.
