Your flat roof stops being a source of stress. Instead of wondering when the next leak will hit, you get complete peace of mind knowing your modified bitumen system creates a seamless waterproof barrier.
Water that used to pool and find its way inside gets directed away properly. The flexible membrane moves with temperature changes without cracking, so you avoid those surprise repair calls during storms.
Your energy bills drop because the UV-resistant surface reflects heat instead of absorbing it. After installation, maintenance becomes minimal – just occasional inspections to keep everything running smoothly.
We’ve been protecting Long Island homes for over 20 years. We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured in Nassau and Suffolk County.
We understand Oyster Bay’s maritime climate. The coastal storms, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy rainfall that challenge your roof are conditions we’ve been handling successfully for two decades.
Our reputation comes from quality work, responsiveness, and fair pricing. When we say we’ll beat any written quote while delivering the highest quality materials and professional service, that’s exactly what happens.
We start by evaluating your existing roof structure and preparing the surface properly. Any damaged areas get addressed before we begin the torch down process.
The modified bitumen sheets get rolled out across your roof. Using specialized propane torches, we heat the material to the exact temperature needed for proper adhesion. This isn’t DIY territory – it requires professional training and equipment.
Once heated, the seams melt together creating a completely seamless waterproof membrane. No gaps, no weak spots, no places for water to sneak through. The entire process creates what’s essentially a rubber-like skin over your roof that flexes with weather changes but never compromises on protection.

Your torch down system handles everything Oyster Bay’s North Shore location throws at it. The modified bitumen material withstands temperature swings from 24°F winter lows to 83°F summer highs without degrading.
Heavy April rains and nor’easters that have hit Long Island don’t phase properly installed torch down roofing. The seamless membrane prevents water infiltration even when snow sits on your roof for extended periods.
The UV-resistant surface protects against sun damage while helping reduce cooling costs during humid summers. With proper installation, you’re looking at 15-20 years of reliable protection with minimal maintenance requirements.
Properly installed torch down roofing typically lasts 15-20 years in Long Island’s maritime climate. The modified bitumen material is specifically designed to handle temperature fluctuations, coastal storms, and the freeze-thaw cycles common to Oyster Bay.
The key to longevity is professional installation using proper torch techniques. When the seams are heated and melted correctly, you get a seamless membrane that moves with weather changes without cracking or splitting.
Regular inspections every few years help catch any minor issues before they become problems, but the system itself requires minimal maintenance once properly installed.
Torch down roofing creates a completely seamless waterproof barrier, which is crucial for flat roofs that are prone to water pooling. Unlike systems with seams that can fail over time, properly installed torch down has no weak spots for water to penetrate.
The modified bitumen material is exceptionally flexible, expanding and contracting with temperature changes without losing its waterproof properties. This flexibility is essential for flat roofs that experience more direct weather exposure.
The installation process using propane torches ensures the material bonds directly to your roof deck and the seams melt together completely. This creates what’s essentially a single continuous membrane across your entire roof surface.
When performed by licensed professionals with proper training and equipment, torch down installation is completely safe. The process requires specialized knowledge of heating techniques, safety protocols, and proper ventilation.
We understand exactly how to control the propane torches to achieve proper adhesion without creating safety hazards. We carry full insurance coverage and follow all safety regulations for open-flame roofing applications.
The installation itself typically takes 1-2 days depending on roof size, and we coordinate with local authorities when required. DIY torch down installation is not recommended due to the specialized equipment and fire safety considerations involved.
Torch down roofing is specifically designed to handle severe weather conditions like the nor’easters, coastal storms, and high winds that regularly impact Long Island. The seamless membrane won’t lift or peel like other roofing systems can during high winds.
The flexible modified bitumen material moves with your building during storms without losing its waterproof seal. Heavy rainfall gets shed properly instead of finding ways to penetrate through seams or weak spots.
During events like Hurricane Sandy or Tropical Storm Isaias, properly installed torch down systems provided reliable protection for Long Island properties. The UV-resistant surface also prevents sun damage that can weaken other roofing materials over time.
APP (Atactic Polypropylene) modified bitumen uses plastic-based modifiers and is applied using torch-down methods. It’s highly UV-resistant and creates an extremely durable surface that’s ideal for Long Island’s sunny summers and harsh winters.
SBS (Styrene Butadiene Styrene) modified bitumen uses rubber-based modifiers and has a lower melting point. While it can be torch-applied, it’s also available in self-adhering and cold-applied versions.
For Oyster Bay’s climate conditions, APP torch-down systems typically provide the best long-term performance. The plastic modifiers create superior UV resistance and the torch application ensures the most reliable waterproof seal for flat roof applications.
Torch down roofing typically costs more upfront than basic flat roof systems, but provides better long-term value through durability and minimal maintenance requirements. The 15-20 year lifespan often makes it more cost-effective than cheaper options that need replacement sooner.
Installation costs vary based on roof size, accessibility, and any prep work needed. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re investing in.
We guarantee to beat any written quote from licensed competitors while maintaining our quality standards. The investment pays for itself through avoided water damage repairs, energy savings from UV reflection, and the peace of mind that comes with professional installation.
