Top-Tier Affordable Flat Roof Replacement in the Bronx, NY

EPDM is a durable rubber roofing material known for its flexibility and resistance to weather. It’s a common choice for flat roofs because it handles temperature changes well and holds up against UV rays. When replacing an EPDM roof, we remove the old rubber membrane, inspect the surface below, and install a fresh sheet that is either glued down or mechanically fastened. It’s a great low-maintenance option with a long lifespan when installed correctly.

BUR is made up of multiple layers of asphalt and felt, finished with gravel or a reflective coating. It’s very durable and offers excellent waterproofing. Replacing a BUR system involves removing the old layers and applying new ones in a similar build-up process. This type of roof is heavier than others, so we always check the structure below to make sure it can support the new materials. BUR is a good choice for homeowners looking for strength and reliability.

Modified Bitumen roofing is a modern version of BUR, combining asphalt with added polymers for extra flexibility and performance. It comes in rolls and is typically installed using heat (torch-down), adhesives, or self-adhering methods. During replacement, we remove any damaged materials and roll out the new membrane in layers, sealing it tightly for leak protection. It’s a great option for flat roofs that need toughness and some flexibility in weather.

TPO is a white, reflective roofing membrane that helps reduce heat inside your home. It’s energy-efficient and resistant to UV rays, punctures, and mold. TPO is heat-welded at the seams, creating a tight, waterproof surface. When we replace a TPO roof, we remove the old membrane, prepare the surface, and install the new layer with careful welding at every seam. This is a great option if you’re looking for a balance of performance and energy savings.

PVC is similar to TPO but offers added chemical resistance and is a bit more flexible. It’s a long-lasting, reflective material that’s great for both residential and commercial buildings. Replacement involves removing the old system, laying down the new membrane, and welding the seams for a watertight finish. PVC is ideal for flat roofs that need extra durability, especially where there may be exposure to grease, oils, or harsh weather.
