What to expect, step by step

    Written options

    Repair, coating and replacement are compared based on what we find.

  3. 03

    Prepare the surface

    Old material is removed or the substrate is cleaned and repaired as the scope requires.

  4. 04

    Install the system

    Membrane or coating is installed with detailed drains, edges and penetrations.

  5. 05

    Walk-through

    We review drainage and details with you and clean up the site.

Estimate

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.
