No More Water Damage Headaches

Your flat roof stops being a problem when it’s done right. Our torch down roofing creates a seamless, waterproof barrier that handles everything Long Island weather throws at it – heavy rain, snow loads, coastal storms, and decades of UV exposure.

You get a roof that actually works. No more emergency buckets during storms. No more calling contractors every few months for patch jobs. No more wondering if that small leak is about to become a big disaster.

The difference is in the installation. We heat-weld every seam to create a completely waterproof membrane. Most flat roofs fail at the joints – ours don’t because there aren’t any weak spots left behind.

Torch Down Installation Process Woodsburgh

Professional Installation Without the Mystery

First, we assess your existing flat roof structure and determine if we can install over the current surface or if removal is necessary. We prepare the surface properly – no shortcuts that cause problems later.

Next, we install the base layer and overlay board to create a stable foundation. This step is critical for preventing ponding and ensuring proper drainage across your entire roof surface.

Then comes the torch application. We roll out sheets of modified bitumen and use professional-grade propane torches to heat the material to exact temperatures. Each seam gets heat-welded to create a completely waterproof seal. We finish with flashing around all penetrations and metal work where needed.

The result is a seamless, durable roof that’s built to last 20+ years with minimal maintenance required.

About Roofing & Chimney Contractor Long Island, NY

APP Modified Bitumen Roofing Woodsburgh

Built for Long Island Weather

Our torch down systems use APP modified bitumen – a flexible plastic polymer that handles temperature extremes without cracking or splitting. This matters in Woodsburgh where summer heat and winter freezing cycles can destroy inferior roofing materials.

The membrane is UV-resistant, so Long Island’s intense summer sun won’t degrade your roof over time. It’s also highly puncture-resistant, important for areas with tree debris and coastal storm conditions.

We offer both two-layer and three-layer systems depending on your building’s needs and budget. All installations come with manufacturer warranties plus our own labor guarantee against leaks and blow-offs.

For Woodsburgh property owners dealing with flat roof challenges, torch down roofing provides the long-term solution that actually works in our local climate conditions.

How long does torch down roofing last in Long Island weather?

Properly installed torch down roofing typically lasts 20+ years in Long Island’s climate. The modified bitumen material is specifically designed to handle temperature extremes, from summer heat that can reach 90+ degrees to winter freezing cycles.

The key is professional installation. DIY jobs or poorly installed systems often fail within 5-7 years due to improper seam sealing or inadequate surface preparation. Our installations come with both manufacturer warranties and our own labor guarantee.

We’ve seen our torch down roofs in Nassau County perform well for decades because we use proper torch application techniques and high-quality APP modified bitumen materials that resist UV damage and thermal cycling.

Yes, when installed by trained professionals with proper safety equipment and protocols. Torch down installation requires open-flame propane torches, which is why this should never be a DIY project.

Our crews are fully trained in fire safety procedures and carry all necessary safety equipment. We follow strict protocols to protect your property and surrounding areas during installation. This includes having fire extinguishers on site and taking precautions around any combustible materials.

The safety concerns with torch down roofing come from improper installation attempts. Professional contractors like us have the experience and safety training to complete these installations without incident. We’re fully insured for additional peace of mind.

Sometimes, but it depends on the condition of your existing roof. We evaluate each situation individually to determine if installation over existing materials is possible or if complete removal is necessary.

If your current roof has minimal damage and proper drainage, we can often install torch down roofing directly over it. This saves time and disposal costs. However, if there’s significant damage, ponding issues, or multiple layers already present, we’ll recommend complete removal.

The decision affects the long-term performance of your new roof. We’d rather do the job right the first time than create problems that show up later. Our assessment includes checking for proper slope, structural integrity, and any moisture issues that need addressing first.

Torch down roofing creates heat-welded seams that eliminate the weak points where most flat roofs fail. Other systems like EPDM rubber or TPO rely on adhesives or mechanical fasteners that can fail over time.

The torch application process literally melts the seams together, creating a monolithic waterproof membrane. This makes torch down roofing particularly effective for Long Island’s weather conditions where thermal cycling can cause other systems to separate at the joints.

Modified bitumen also offers better puncture resistance than single-ply membranes and superior UV resistance compared to built-up roofing. The material flexibility handles building movement better than rigid systems, important for older buildings in Nassau County.

Torch down roofing costs vary based on roof size, complexity, and whether existing materials need removal. Generally, expect to invest more upfront than basic flat roofing options, but significantly less over the roof’s 20+ year lifespan.

The higher initial cost reflects the superior materials and specialized installation process. However, torch down roofing typically requires minimal maintenance and rarely needs major repairs when properly installed, making it cost-effective long-term.

We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs – materials, labor, disposal if needed, and any additional work required. No surprises or hidden fees. We also offer financing options to help spread the investment over time while you start benefiting from a leak-free roof immediately.
