Built-Up Roofing (BUR) in Milwaukee, WI
Built-up roofing (BUR) is the classic "tar and gravel" system — alternating layers of bitumen and reinforcing felts topped with a gravel or mineral surface. Its multiple plies make it extremely durable and puncture-resistant, which is why it is still specified for high-traffic roofs and buildings expecting heavy rooftop service.

How do I choose the best built-up roofing (bur) contractor in Milwaukee?
Look for contractors with specific experience in commercial roofing (not just residential). Verify their state license, insurance, and bonding, and confirm they're certified and experienced with your roof system. Check reviews from similar commercial properties. Ask about their workmanship warranty and their typical response time for follow-up issues.
How long does built-up roofing (bur) typically take?
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of your roof system and the scope of work. Simple repairs often complete in a few hours. Larger installations and replacements may take several days to a few weeks. Emergency service typically stabilizes the problem within hours even when the permanent fix requires returning with materials.
Is built-up roofing (bur) covered by building insurance?
Generally, sudden storm or accidental damage may be covered by commercial property insurance, while gradual wear and deferred-maintenance issues are not. Contact your insurance provider and ask specifically about coverage for your roof system. A documented inspection report strengthens any claim you file.
