Modified bitumen is a layered roofing system that has been around for decades now. It was first developed in Europe in the mid-1960s and became commonplace in the United States in the 1970s. Modified Bitumen is ideal for low slope or flat roofs which is a popular style for commercial buildings in Denver, CO.
Modified Bitumen can withstand exposure to harsh environmental conditions, including extreme cold and wind. It also has exceptional wind uplift resistance when installed and sealed properly. Our experts crews make sure every single seam is perfectly adhered giving you a solid roofing system that will last for many years.
