Built-Up Roofs
West Palm Beach’s Premier Built-Up Roofing Service
Built-up roofing (BUR), which is also known as “tar and gravel” roofing, has one of the most solid reputations in the commercial roofing market. While it has been common for some time, it is still a complicated process that requires finesse. Our roofers at Neal Roofing and Waterproofing have the skills, training, tools, and expertise necessary to complete a BUR installation that will help to protect your building against damages, severe weather conditions, fire, and other events which might have an adverse impact on your structure.
Built-Up Roofing Advantages
There are many reasons why BUR roofing is one of the go-to options for commercial roofing. While it is a popular commercial roofing technique, it does require skilled expertise in order to ensure a job well done. Neal Roofing and Waterproofing is familiar with this and other commercial roofing techniques so you can rest assured your commercial roof is in good hands.
The main advantages of a BUR roof are as follows:
- Exceptional durability. Its multiple layers ensure that BUR roofs are built to endure a lot, from harsh weather to general wear and tear.
- Resistant to extreme winds.
- Seamless and waterproof. The continuous solid surface does not require seams, which seals off the areas that are most likely to leak over time.
- UV Ray reflection. Provides protection from ultraviolet rays. This also functions as a cooling mechanism for the building.
- Low maintenance. There is very minimal upkeep and maintenance needed after it is installed.
Components of Built-Up Roofs
The defining feature of built-up roofs is its multiple layers of materials, which are laminated together to give the roofing its durability. These multiple layers consist of the following:
Base sheet
The base sheet is the foundational layer and is usually made of fiberglass, asphalt coated organic sheet, or asphalt coated venting sheet.
Felts or fabrics
Coal or tar saturated This layer is made up of organic felt, cotton fabric or burlap that has been saturated in coal or tar.
Bitumen
The most common material used for the bitumen layer is asphalt, but this can also include coal tar or lap cement.
Surfacing component
This outermost level consists of gravel, asphalt or minerals. This can also be topped with a reflective coating.

Neal roofing and waterproofing did an amazing job on my late cousin’s home! Seth was patient and very informative. I know my cousin is smiling down on his beautiful new roof!

I had the best roofing experience ever. I received three quotes from different companies. All three prices were about the same. Neal Roofing had great reviews and the quote was very professional and the sales guy was very nice. … More Tom was our supervisor and he was in continuous communication with me about next steps. Super nice guy and he was very careful about cleaning up the property after the work was complete. Before the work was started, they covered my pool and moved our outdoor furniture out of the way. The also covered up our AC unit to avoid nails falling into the unit. I was super impressed with how quick the whole process was. Thank you. I highly recommend this company.

If only I could add a GIF animation to this review of me doing cartwheels around the four sides of my property ….+++++++++++++++I recently had my roof replaced by Neal Roofing & Waterproofing, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. … More The new roof – now thankfully structurally sound, free of damage from rot, and completely waterproof – is beautiful and the customer service was best-in-class.As a curious person, I had a lot of questions throughout the roof replacement process from the initial outreach phone call to the final inspection. The team at Neal Roofing was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about roofing products and the industry at large. Aside from the end-result, one of the great strengths of the team at Neal Roofing is their focus on customer experience, project management, and communication. They were patient with all my questions and consistently remained in contact to see if I had comments, questions, or concerns. With each step of the process, they set expectations for the next steps ahead which put me at ease.Now slightly less of a novice, I've learned that replacing a roof is a complex, multi-faceted process, involving a variety of critical stakeholder groups including the Village of Wellington, my community HOA, suppliers, financing partners, inspectors, and multiple roofing crews. Neal Roofing is extremely adept at understanding the sequencing of all the steps to complete the project. They know the intricacies, challenges, and obstacles. From removal of the original roofing materials to repairs, to installation of each of the 3-tiered roofing system components – with inspections following each installation milestone – the team at Neal Roofing orchestrates with the precision and finesse of a maestro conducting an orchestra. And it doesn’t hurt that they’re genuinely nice, hardworking people and you want their business to succeed.Additionally, the construction-based “front-line workers” – the roofing crews responsible for the removal of the original roof, repairs, and installation – were very professional, friendly, and respectful of the landscaping, pool area, driveway, and other personal items around the property. They arrived early, while respecting the HOA guidelines on working hours in the community and worked quickly and efficiently. The crews went above and beyond in cleaning up the site at the end of each workday. Nothing happens on a job site without these essential, specialized, highly skilled workers who battled extreme temperatures and near daily rainstorms. I can’t thank the crews enough for their hard work and persistence!Pros of Working with Neal Roofing:* Subject matter experts in roofing, including the roofing industry* Professional service with a focus on delivering the gold standard of customer-centric approaches* Ongoing communication* Reliable* Trustworthy* Project management of the multi-faceted and multi-stakeholder process* High-quality materials* Attention to details* Friendly and highly skilled roof installation crews who battled excruciating, record-breaking, hot days with near daily rainstorms* Thorough and consistent site clean-up* Minimal to no damage to landscapingCons:* None!Reliable Referrals Matter:* Two of my immediate neighbors also hired Neal Roofing for their roof replacement, one of which I watched from start to finish, so my recommendation is based not only on my own personal experience but also on the recommendations of my neighbors.For this homeowner, I have to admit that the roof replacement process was stressful. It’s a complex process. It's expensive. It’s noisy for you and your neighbors. It's dusty. As an outsider with very little knowledge in this space, it’s easy to feel helpless. With that said, I can’t imagine a better roofing partner than Neal Roofing.Thank you to the team at Neal Roofing, particularly the work crews, for helping to make my home secure and dry for future storms, particularly as we go full steam into hurricane season!

Fingers crossed we won't need them again anytime soon but if we do, I'm relieved that we have a reliable and professional company to contact.

Santiago, one of their sales reps, was an absolute pleasure from the moment he reached out … More to let me know he was on his way to our scheduled assessment and quote appointment, to his follow-up after the work was completed. Laura, one of the administrative appointment schedulers, was always quick to answer her phone and return any missed calls I made to her. Once the job was completed, I was provided photos of my roof at the beginning of the project, as well as the finished product. Besides the unpredictable FL weather that created a slight delay, this was a very smooth and easy process. I will definitely be reaching out to Neal when it is time for my home’s roof to be replaced!

Neal Roofing 5 StarsWhen my Insurance company gave me a three-month notice that they would cancel me because my roof materials were no longer covered, I was thrown into the Florida contractor dilemma. We all know the horror stories of under … More quoting and hidden charges, then tearing your roof off and never coming back to finish. It is a nightmare for a homeowner to choose from multiple companies. Who is going to come thru on time and within budget?Well, Neal Roofing broke thru this quagmire to exceed my expectations!Seth and his *team were true professionals during this process, and I could not be more satisfied with their craftsmanship and customer service.(*Everyone. Including the demo and install team.)Seth's Team produces easy-to-read quotes that have no hidden costs, and they did a great job of forecasting items that I might need after they took off the old roof. (They were correct on their forecast.)One of Neal Roofing's most significant assets was its relationship with its vendors. Even after Hurricane Ian on the west coast, they could still procure all the materials needed to complete my roof without any required delays.At all times, the Job site was kept clean and tidy. Neal Roofing hit all their forecasted install dates and finished on time and quoted price. No extra charges.Again, Neal Roofing exceeded my expectations.

Ok I have a story to tell… first off, there was a time where I would have laughed if someone told me I would end up giving Neal 5 stars, but hear me out… I purchased a repair from an individual who told me it would be scheduled for a specific … More day and time. I cleared my calendar and was ready. The day before a nice woman called me and let me know that they were behind schedule and that they would have to delay the job. That’s fine BUT this happened 2 more times. I was very upset to say the least (I almost left a 1 star review). Until… the crew came out and did my repair. They arrived on time, they were professional, they were courteous, they explained everything to me in detail about what was being completed. They found more issues with my roof than originally anticipated and they fixed everything at no extra cost (because of the delays) and spent way more time at my home than they anticipated. The owner, Sam, called me after and apologized for the rescheduling. This is what I told him: I am and will always be a customer of Neal Roofing. I see why they were delayed, because the crew is VERY thorough and does not leave until you are SATISFIED… not to mention rain delays. I am sure this is the service they were providing to customers before me which is why they were delayed. Sam admitted that they got way busier than anticipated and usually this doesn't happen, but I thanked him for staying true to his quality of work and not letting a pesky homeowner like me damage the quality of work they do. 10/10 thank you Neal Roofing for caring about my project and my home!!!
