Hot Tar & Built-Up Roofing / Techos de Alquitrán
Multi-ply built-up and modified bitumen roofs for heavy-duty low-slope work
A premium take on hot tar & built-up roofing / techos de alquitrán
Built-up roofing has been keeping flat roofs dry for a century, and on the right building it is still the toughest system money can buy. Layers of felt and hot asphalt build a monolithic membrane that tolerates foot traffic, mechanical units, and the thermal swings a New Mexico roof sees between a July afternoon and a January night. We also install torch-applied and self-adhered modified bitumen where hot work is not practical. Either way, the flashings, base sheets, and cap sheet get built in the right order, and the kettle is run by people who have done it for years.
This service is a good fit for homeowners and property managers who want a clean, professional result without juggling the details themselves. We handle the prep, the finish work, and the cleanup so the space is ready to enjoy when we're done.
Every project covers the essentials
- Multi-ply built-up roofing with hot asphalt and fiberglass ply sheets
- Torch-applied and self-adhered modified bitumen alternatives
- Gravel or mineral-surfaced cap sheets for UV protection
- Base flashing at every wall, curb, and parapet built into the plies
- Tough enough for rooftop HVAC access and regular foot traffic
- Safety plan and fire watch on every hot-work day
