When it comes to protecting your property from Portland’s unpredictable weather, built-up roofing (BUR) stands out as a reliable and long-lasting option. Commonly used for commercial roofing, BUR systems are designed to provide unmatched durability, excellent waterproofing, and enhanced energy efficiency. At BYLT Exteriors, we specialize in BUR installations for commercial roofs and residential properties, ensuring that every new roof is built to withstand the test of time.
Portland has tough weather that needs strong roofing systems. Built-up roofing has been a reliable choice for a long time because it is strong and lasts many years. This type of roofing offers great protection against rain and wind, keeping your property safe and dry.
What makes built-up roofing special is its many layers. These layers work together to create a strong defense against leaks and damage. Plus, using high-quality materials makes it even more durable. This makes built-up roofing a perfect fit for Portland’s tough weather.
Built-up roofing (BUR) is a multi-layered system that combines alternating layers of bitumen (asphalt or tar) and reinforcing fabrics to create a durable, weather-resistant barrier. The system is topped with gravel or a reflective coating for added protection and energy efficiency. This time-tested method has been a trusted choice for commercial roofs and flat-roofed homes for over a century.
Unlike other roofing options like TPO or metal roofing, BUR provides a thicker, more robust system with superior insulation and waterproofing capabilities. Its versatility and durability make it ideal for properties in Portland’s wet and cold climate.
Choosing the right roofing contractor is important for how long your roof lasts and how it performs. We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality roofing solutions tailored to Portland’s unique climate. Here’s why we’re the trusted choice for BUR installations:

Built-up roofing is very tough against Portland’s harsh weather. It can handle heavy rain, snow, and strong UV rays. With its multi-layered design, it gives long-lasting protection. This makes it a trusted option for homeowners.
A well-taken care of built-up roof can last 20 to 30 years or even longer in Portland. Its strength to endure over time means it is a good and cost-effective choice for roofing in this climate.
Regular maintenance is very important for helping your built-up roof last longer. You should reach out to BYLT Exteriors to set up inspections and take care of your roofing material.
The price of a new built-up roof can vary. It depends on the size, how complicated it is, and the materials used. If you reach out to us, we can give you a free estimate. We will also explain the costs clearly.
Built-up roofing and asphalt shingles serve different purposes. Asphalt shingles are ideal for sloped roofs, offering versatility and aesthetic appeal, while built-up roofing is designed for flat or low-sloped roofs, providing superior waterproofing and durability. If you’re unsure which option is best for your property, our team at BYLT Exteriors can guide you.
