The time for Tar & Gravel Roofing Replacement is now!

Tar & Gravel Roofing has had its day and now is the time to retire it in favor of a much more efficient and effective form of roofing insulation: spray foam roofing.

Why should Tar & Gravel Roofing be replaced?

Tar and gravel roofing, or built-up roofing (BUR), is essentially buckets and buckets of gravel that are glued to a roof with hot tar. If that doesn’t sound very sophisticated, that’s because it really isn’t! Aside from the environmental impact of using tar and gravel (which is considerable), tar and gravel roofing quickly degrades as gravel falls from roofing and fills drainage systems (leading to further issues). If all that wasn’t enough, tar & gravel roofing is very heavy too, which means added stresses and strains for roofing systems.

What is the best replacement for Tar & Gravel Roofing?

If you’re looking for a highly effective replacement for Tar & gravel roofing then the number one candidate is spray foam roofing. Spray foam roofing is quick to apply and installation causes minimal disruption. Spray foam roofing offers a multitude of benefits over tar and gravel roofing including superior insulation, long-lasting durability, increased energy efficiency, and much better waterproofing. Spray foam roofing is also very lightweight, so it won’t add any strain to existing roofing structures. \

Additionally, unlike tar and gravel roofing which requires frequent maintenance and repair over its lifetime, spray foam roofing is virtually maintenance-free!

If you have a solar panel in your roof or are considering installing one in the future, don’t worry; you can still apply spray foam insulation.
