Walk-through

What affects the estimate
We do not post price ranges because they would not be honest without seeing your roof. These are the things that move the number for this kind of work:
- Existing system and how many layers are on the roof
- Wetness in insulation, which a moisture check can reveal
- Slope, ponding and drain or scupper condition
- Number of penetrations, curbs and parapet details
- Whether a coating, overlay or full replacement is appropriate
Torch Down Roof: common questions
Is torch-down a fire risk?
Any heat-applied system calls for trained crews and careful fire-safety practices. Ask any contractor how they manage it.
Is it right for my flat roof?
It depends on building, slope, exposure and budget. We compare options during the visit.
