Built-Up Roof (BUR) Systems

Built-up roofing — multiple layers of bitumen and reinforcing fabric topped with gravel or a cap sheet — is one of the oldest commercial roof systems still in service today. Decades of field history have proven it durable, fire-resistant, and reliable in extreme climates, which keeps it relevant on Western Slope commercial and industrial buildings where heavy snow loads and serious fire performance both matter.

Rocky Mountain Gutters & Maintenance installs BUR systems for commercial buildings across Glenwood Springs, Carbondale, Rifle, and the broader Roaring Fork Valley. We'll evaluate your existing roof, recommend the right multi-ply assembly, and install it to manufacturer spec.
