You’re tired of dealing with flat roof leaks every time it storms. You need a solution that works the first time and keeps working for decades.
That’s exactly what torch down roofing delivers. This isn’t some quick fix that’ll have you calling contractors again next year. We’re talking about a seamless, waterproof membrane that handles East Patchogue’s harsh winters, heavy rains, and everything else Long Island weather throws at it.
When we finish your torch down installation, you get up to 25 years of leak-free protection. No more emergency calls during storms. No more water damage headaches. Just solid, reliable performance that lets you focus on what matters most.
We’ve been East Patchogue’s go-to flat roofing specialist for over 20 years. We’re the licensed, family-owned company that property owners call when they need torch down work done right the first time.
We’ve seen what happens when torch down roofing gets installed by contractors who don’t understand the process. Poor installation is the number one reason these systems fail early. That’s why we only use proven techniques and quality materials that can handle Long Island’s demanding climate.
Our reputation in East Patchogue and throughout Suffolk County is built on delivering exactly what we promise: professional work, fair pricing, and roofs that protect your investment for decades.
First, we thoroughly assess your flat roof’s condition and prepare the surface. This means cleaning, repairing any structural issues, and ensuring proper drainage slopes.
Next comes the torch down application itself. We use modified bitumen membranes – that’s asphalt enhanced with rubber compounds for flexibility and durability. Using controlled propane torches, we heat and bond each layer to create a seamless, waterproof seal.
The final step involves protective coatings and quality control checks. We inspect every seam, corner, and penetration to ensure complete waterproofing. You’ll get a detailed walkthrough of the finished work and maintenance recommendations to maximize your roof’s lifespan.
This process typically takes 1-2 days depending on roof size and complexity. Weather permitting, you’ll have a fully functional, leak-proof roof that’s ready to handle whatever East Patchogue’s climate brings.

East Patchogue’s climate demands roofing that can handle temperature swings, heavy snow loads, and intense summer heat. Torch down roofing excels in these conditions because the modified bitumen stays flexible in cold weather while resisting UV damage during hot summers.
Unlike single-ply systems that can puncture or tear, torch down creates multiple layers of protection. Even if the top layer gets damaged, the underlying membrane continues protecting your building. This redundancy is crucial for commercial properties and homes that can’t afford unexpected leaks.
The energy efficiency benefits are significant too. Properly installed torch down roofing improves your building’s insulation, reducing heating costs during Long Island’s cold winters and cooling costs during humid summers. Many East Patchogue property owners see noticeable utility bill reductions after installation.
For commercial buildings, torch down handles foot traffic without damage, making maintenance and HVAC access safer and easier. The system’s durability means fewer disruptions to your business operations and lower long-term roofing costs.
Properly installed torch down roofing typically lasts 20-25 years in East Patchogue, with some systems reaching 30 years with regular maintenance. The key is professional installation and using quality materials designed for Long Island’s climate variations.
The modified bitumen membranes we use are specifically engineered to handle temperature fluctuations, from freezing winters to hot, humid summers. SBS-modified systems work particularly well here because they remain flexible in cold weather while maintaining UV resistance during intense summer sun.
Regular inspections and minor maintenance can extend your roof’s lifespan significantly. We recommend annual check-ups to catch small issues before they become major problems.
Torch down roofing creates a multi-layer, fully-adhered membrane system that’s more durable than single-ply alternatives like EPDM or TPO. The heat-welded seams eliminate the weak points that cause most flat roof failures.
Unlike rubber roofing systems that can puncture easily, torch down uses modified asphalt that’s much tougher and more resistant to damage from foot traffic, debris, or weather. The installation process also creates better adhesion to the roof deck, reducing the risk of wind uplift during storms.
The main advantage over built-up roofing is faster installation and better weather resistance. Torch down doesn’t require hot asphalt kettles, making it safer to install while still providing superior waterproofing performance.
In many cases, yes, but it depends on your current roof’s condition and local building codes. We need to inspect the existing membrane, insulation, and roof deck to determine if a recover installation is appropriate.
If your current roof has only one layer and the deck is structurally sound, torch down can often be installed directly over it. This saves time and disposal costs while providing excellent results. However, if there are multiple layers, significant damage, or moisture issues, a complete tear-off might be necessary.
We’ll provide a detailed assessment during our free estimate, explaining your options and recommending the approach that gives you the best long-term value. Building codes in Suffolk County limit the number of roof layers, so we always ensure compliance with local regulations.
Torch down roofing typically costs more upfront than basic single-ply systems but less than premium options like spray foam or metal roofing. The key is looking at long-term value, not just initial installation costs.
When you factor in torch down’s 20-25 year lifespan, minimal maintenance requirements, and energy efficiency benefits, it often provides better value than cheaper alternatives that need replacement sooner. Most East Patchogue property owners find the cost difference pays for itself through reduced repairs and energy savings.
We provide detailed, transparent estimates that break down all costs so you can make an informed decision. Every project is different based on roof size, complexity, and specific requirements, but we’ll give you accurate pricing during our free consultation.
Torch down roofing requires minimal maintenance compared to other flat roofing systems. Annual inspections are the most important preventive measure, allowing us to catch and address minor issues before they become major problems.
Basic maintenance includes keeping drains clear, removing debris, and checking for any punctures or damage after severe weather. The membrane itself is quite durable, but penetrations around vents, HVAC equipment, and roof edges need occasional attention.
We recommend professional inspections every 2-3 years and immediate checks after major storms. Small repairs are usually simple and inexpensive when caught early. Proper maintenance can extend your roof’s life well beyond the typical 20-25 year expectancy.
Yes, when performed by experienced professionals like our team. We use controlled propane torches with proper safety protocols, fire extinguishers on-site, and careful scheduling to minimize disruption to your business.
The installation process produces some odor and requires open flame, but we coordinate with you to work during optimal times and ensure adequate ventilation. Most commercial torch down installations are completed quickly, typically within 1-2 days for average-sized roofs.
We carry full insurance coverage and follow all safety regulations. Our crews are trained in proper torch application techniques and emergency procedures. We’ll discuss any specific concerns about your business operations during our initial consultation and plan accordingly.
