BUR builds a roof in redundant layers: alternating bitumen and reinforcing felts topped with gravel that shields the assembly from UV and traffic. Existing BUR in Dallas often earns maintenance and restoration over replacement, since the mass and redundancy that made it heavy also made it durable.
We install and service built-up roofing (bur) across Dallas and the surrounding DFW communities. That includes free written estimates, documented inspections, and honest guidance on whether this system actually fits your home and budget.
The Dallas specifics
In Dallas, the Built-Up Roofing (BUR) conversation usually starts with the roof that is already up there. Because roofs on these streets have been replaced before, you find layered history, patched decking, and flashing choices from three owners ago. That building stock puts membranes to work: seams, penetrations, and drainage patterns matter more than brand names, and the moisture survey decides restore-versus-replace.
Like the rest of Dallas County, Dallas wants roofing work documented, meaning permits where required and inspections passed. That paperwork is included, not extra. North Texas sits in the country’s most active hail belt, and single-ply shows bruise fractures that a chalk circle will not catch; instrument surveys find what walking the roof misses. Because Irving, Garland, and Grand Prairie share our dispatch routes, examples of this exact system nearby are easy to arrange. Once we have looked at the actual roof, everything above gets specific and goes in writing.
