About this service

Rolled roofing consists of mineral-surfaced asphalt sheets, usually applied to low-slope or flat roofs. It is a cost-effective choice for sheds, garages, or porches. Installation involves overlapping the rolls and sealing the seams to prevent water from getting underneath. If your low-slope roof is showing signs of blistering or peeling, it might be time for a replacement. We can help determine if your structure is a good candidate for this material.
