Modified Bitumen & BUR Roofing in Arizona
Flat and low-slope roofs require specialized systems that deliver durability, waterproofing, and long-term value. At The Arizona Roofer, we provide expert installation and repair services for Modified Bitumen (Mod Bit) and Built-Up Roofing (BUR) systems — proven technologies trusted for commercial and residential flat roofs across the Valley.
We install and service Mod Bit and BUR roofs that deliver superior performance and leak protection for Arizona’s demanding environment.
Modified Bitumen and BUR systems are engineered for longevity under extreme weather. These asphalt-based membranes are ideal for Arizona buildings exposed to intense sun, heavy rains, and temperature fluctuations. We apply multiple layers of protection — including cap sheets, felts, and reflective coatings — to create a seamless, watertight barrier.
Whether you’re managing a commercial building or need a durable solution for a residential flat roof, our systems provide proven performance. We also offer expert repair and restoration services for existing Mod Bit and BUR installations.
