Durable, Multi-Layer Protection for Your Calgary Business

Calgary Roofing brings decades of experience in commercial built-up roofing to businesses across Southern Alberta. Our expert team delivers long-lasting, weather-resistant roofing solutions for commercial properties within a 100 km radius of Calgary.

Service Overview

Built-up roofing (BUR) has been a staple in commercial roofing for over a century, and for good reason. This time-tested system consists of multiple layers of bitumen and reinforcing fabric, creating a durable, waterproof membrane that stands up to Calgary's harsh weather conditions. At Calgary Roofing, we specialize in installing, repairing, and maintaining built-up roofing systems that protect your commercial property for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long does a built-up roof typically last?

With proper installation and maintenance, a built-up roof can last 20-30 years in Calgary's climate. Regular inspections and maintenance can extend its lifespan even further.

2. Is built-up roofing suitable for all commercial buildings?

BUR is ideal for low-slope or flat roofs commonly found on commercial buildings. However, it's not suitable for steep-slope roofs. We'll assess your building to determine if BUR is the right choice.

3. How does built-up roofing perform in extreme weather?

Built-up roofing excels in harsh weather conditions. Its multiple layers provide excellent protection against UV rays, temperature fluctuations, and heavy precipitation, making it ideal for Calgary's climate.

4. What maintenance does a built-up roof require?

While BUR systems are low-maintenance, we recommend annual inspections to check for any damage or wear. Regular cleaning to remove debris and ensure proper drainage is also important.

5. Can a built-up roof be repaired, or does it always need full replacement?

In many cases, damaged areas of a built-up roof can be repaired without full replacement. Our team will assess the damage and recommend the most cost-effective solution.

6. How disruptive is the installation process to business operations?

We strive to minimize disruption during installation. While there may be some noise and odor from hot bitumen application, we can often work around your business hours and take measures to reduce impact on your operations.

7. Is built-up roofing environmentally friendly?

While traditional BUR uses petroleum-based products, we offer more eco-friendly options with recycled materials and reflective coatings that improve energy efficiency. We can discuss these options during your consultation.

8. How does built-up roofing compare to single-ply roofing systems?

Built-up roofing generally offers superior durability and puncture resistance compared to single-ply systems. However, single-ply systems can be installed more quickly and may be more suitable for certain applications. We can help you compare options for your specific needs.
