Why Choose a Modified Bitumen Roof
So what is a modified bitumen roofing system actually made out of? This is a roofing system that is reinforced with fiberglass or polyester fiber matting. This reinforced matting is able to drastically increase the durability and strength of your roofing system.

If you notice any penetrations to the seal of your roofing system it is important that you get them fixed right away to avoid further damage. Additionally, all debris should be removed from your roof on a regular basis to lower the potential of more damage occurring.
Want to add extra protection to your bitumen roofing system? Then we recommend adding elastomeric coating. This coating is able to extend the lifespan of your roofing system by seven to ten years.
