Why Should You Install a Built-up Tar Gravel Roof?

Installing a built-up tar and gravel roof offers unbeatable protection for the price. With it, you’ll have a multi-layered rooftop that shields your property from leaks, moisture damage, and harsh weather conditions.

With its gravel top layer, your new roof will have superior UV resistance, reducing heat absorption and helping your surface stay intact for longer. It’ll also have excellent insulation properties that help regulate indoor temperatures, improving energy efficiency and keeping your heating and cooling costs in check.

How Do You Know You Need Tar and Gravel Roof Repairs?

You’ll know it’s time for tar and gravel roof repairs when you notice wear and damage that could compromise your roof’s effectiveness. If you see areas where the gravel has worn away, exposing the tar beneath, your roof may be at risk. Persistent leaks, water pooling, or soft spots on the surface are telltale signs that moisture is seeping into the layers and weakening the watertight barrier your tar and gravel should provide.

Schedule roof repairs when you notice:

• Leaks
• Cracks
• Blisters

• Bubbling tar
• Musty smells inside your building
• Water stains on your ceiling

Is your roof several decades old? That’s another element you’ll want to factor into your decision. Book an inspection to determine whether repairs will restore its integrity or if a replacement is the better option.
