Built Up Roofing for Pueblo, CO
Tar and gravel roofing — also known as built-up roofing (BUR) — is one of the most time-tested commercial roofing systems available, and for good reason. This multi-layer system combines alternating layers of asphalt (or coal tar) with reinforcing felt plies, finished with a top layer of gravel or stone ballast. The result is a thick, durable roofing membrane that has protected commercial and industrial buildings for well over a century.
At Colorado Front Range Roofing, we install and repair tar and gravel roofing systems for commercial properties throughout Pueblo and Southern Colorado, engineered to handle everything our region's weather can throw at a flat or low-slope roof.
Why Choose Tar & Gravel Roofing?
-
Exceptional durability — multiple layers of asphalt and felt create a thick, redundant membrane that resists punctures and wear
-
Built-in UV & weather protection — the gravel ballast layer shields the underlying asphalt from sun exposure, slowing degradation
-
Fire resistance — gravel ballast adds a Class A fire rating to many BUR assemblies, an important consideration for commercial code compliance
-
Proven lifespan — well-maintained tar and gravel roofs commonly last 20–30 years
-
Excellent for low-slope and flat roofs — ideal for warehouses, industrial buildings, and commercial properties where a flat roofline is standard
-
Sound and insulation benefits — the mass of a BUR system helps dampen noise and adds a layer of thermal performance
Is Tar & Gravel Right for Your Building?
Tar and gravel systems perform best on flat or low-slope commercial and industrial roofs with adequate structural support for the added weight of the ballast layer. During your free inspection, our team evaluates your building's slope, structural capacity, drainage, and existing roofing condition to confirm whether a BUR system — or an alternative like TPO, EPDM, or PVC — is the better fit for your property and budget.
Southern Colorado's Climate & Your Flat Roof
Flat and low-slope commercial roofs face unique challenges in Pueblo and across Southern Colorado:
-
Hail impact: the gravel ballast layer actually helps absorb and distribute hail impact better than some single-ply alternatives
-
Intense high-altitude UV exposure: the ballast layer is one of tar and gravel roofing's biggest advantages here, shielding the asphalt membrane beneath from constant sun exposure
-
Ponding water & drainage: proper slope and drainage design are critical on any flat roof system to prevent water pooling, which can shorten the life of any roofing membrane
-
Temperature swings: BUR systems handle Colorado's freeze-thaw cycles well due to their multi-layer, flexible construction
