FOR FLAT OR MINIMUM-SLOPE ROOFS

Modified Bitumen Roofing

What is Modified Bitumen (MB)?

Modified Bitumen is an asphalt-based solution for flat or minimal slope roof surfaces. It includes a bonding agent for the cold or hot application, and what you usually see is a co-polymer membrane under a protective layer. The MB Roofing option consists of distillation bitumen coated with elastomers such as SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) or APP (Atactic Polypropylene).

Smarthomes Roofing & Remodeling offers commercial roofing services using asphalt choices for your facility in Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio TX.

When should I use modified bitumen on my roof?

Modified bitumen is perfect for flat roofing. The demand for this product is related to supporting high temperatures and considerable mechanical loads. Its service life depends on the quality of the materials and installation practices but has a great lifespan and an affordable cost.

How does the modified bitumen roofing protect my roof structure?

The top layer withstands wind and weather conditions. Depending on the manufacturer, the plasto-elastic option could include a special agent to neutralize harmful substances, or a high-quality polymer bitumen welding membrane to prevent root penetration.

This product is formed with particularly tough carrier inserts and high-quality polymer bitumen on top layers (elastomer and/or plastomer bitumen formulations), which are resistant to heat plus great flexibility at low temperatures. All of our choices are age-resistant.

Below the surface, there are two bitumen layers perfectly welded above the thermal insulation backing each other. And below those, a vapor barrier prevents the heat diffusion from the inside and avoids them becoming damp. This last sheet is suitable for concrete substrates, applied with an adhesive substance or direct heat.

If you want us to take care of your roof, request a non-binding commercial roof inspection at no cost for you.

What is its durability and pricing on average?

Depends on each manufacturer, but the cheapest asphalt layer lasts up to 10 years. The modified bitumen on single-ply roofing can last up to 30 years. The cost varies from $5 to $10 per sq ft, on average.

Remember, take this reference as a guide for material endurability. Every manufacturer offers its warranty, but we can tell you everything you need to know in a quick call.

Still unsure if you need a roof replacement?

Well, we can inspect your roof at no cost for you, so you have nothing to lose. Call us anytime we have an online process to provide roofing estimates.

On top of that, if you want more information, we can guide you in your insurance claim process from start to finish if that is the convenient option for you. And last but not least, we are registered with the regional and local guild, known as fully-insured & accredited roof contractors, yearning to satisfy you, keeping our perfect score and good reviews from our new friends.

This is my second time working with Smarthomes Roofing & Remodeling, and I feel like I've asked for a little bit of everything from them. Demolition, roofing, gutters/downspouts, French drains, exterior work, interior work, door replacement, foundation repair, electrical work. They were great from start to finish. Before the paperwork was signed, they met with me to understand my needs and provided adequate details how these needs would be met. With the varying work, they contracted or subcontracted professional and qualified people to get the job done. They were flexible with my availability, explained what they were doing throughout the process, and the gentlemen who did the work addressed shortcomings or modifications as they came up. Franklin, my project manager, did a great job of making sure everything got done in the optimal order, and coordinating all of the tradesmen. He also provided option pricing for additional minor work when I asked for it, and at a fair price. I had a few stipulations about the work around schedule, avoiding tree roots, and a specific footprint/location for a replacement shed, and he took these requests seriously and made sure to honor them. I would wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone looking to have their house repaired or remodeled.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I highly recommend Smarthomes Roofing and Remodeling! They did a fantastic job painting the entire interior of my home in The Heights. They also repaired Sheetrock that had been damaged due to foundation settling, and the finished work looks excellent. The team was professional, paid attention to detail, and took pride in their work. I’m extremely pleased with the results and would definitely use Smarthomes Roofing and Remodeling again for future projects. Great work and great service!

I had an excellent experience with SmartHomes Remodeling company! From start to finish, everything was seamless. They provided a very reasonable and affordable estimate that was incredibly detailed and was comparable to other quotes we had received that we believed were inflated due to greed. The owner, Franklin, made the entire process stress-free. Communication was clear and prompt, and they were incredibly easy to work with—no pushy sales tactics, just honest and straightforward advice. They completed the job on time and with high-quality materials, leaving my roof looking great and ensuring everything was done to code. I highly recommend them for anyone in need of roofing services. Truly a 5-star experience!
