Do I Need a New Modified Bitumen Roof?
The typical modified bitumen roofing system will last about 20 years with little to no maintenance, and we recommend taking a proactive approach by replacing your existing roof as you near that point rather than waiting for the material to fail. It’s not a bad idea to have your mod-bit roof inspected on an annual basis and after any severe storm. Punctures are a concern. You should also watch for cracks, blistering, and seam defects.
The Importance of a Properly Installed Flat Roof
The typical modified bitumen roofing system will not experience issues throughout its normal lifespan. Most defects and other issues are caused by improper installation, which is why it’s imperative to have your MB roof installed by a skilled and experienced contractor. An improper slope can cause water pooling and degradation of materials. Improperly installed flashing and fasteners can undermine a roof as well, and these problems can lead to water penetration that results in blisters.

Other Commercial Roofing Options
Modified bitumen roofing is not your only option when roofing or reroofing a commercial building. Emmons also installs and replaces EPDM, TPO, BUR, and metal roofing.
EPDM Roofing
EPDM stands for ethylene propylene diene terpolymer and is a durable synthetic roofing membrane particularly effective for low-slope roofs.
TPO Roofing
TPO or thermoplastic polyolefin is a single-ply roofing membrane and notable in that it reflects heat rather than absorbs it.
Built-Up Roofing (BUR)
Built-up roofing or BUR is a layered roofing system that is versatile in that the installer can adapt it to the particular flat or low-slope surface.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing systems are increasingly popular for commercial usage, including flat roofs, and can provide a lower total cost over a longer period.
