Multiple asphalt and felt layers create a thick, redundant barrier against leaks
Durable Built-Up Roofing for Central Alabama Businesses
Capitol City Roofing, LLC installs and repairs built-up hot tar roofing for commercial properties throughout Montgomery, Prattville, Auburn, and Central Alabama, built to handle decades of sun, storms, and humidity.
Built-up roofing, commonly known as hot tar roofing, is one of the oldest and most proven flat roofing systems available for commercial buildings. It’s built from multiple layers of asphalt (tar), roofing felt, and a protective top layer of gravel or a reflective coating, applied hot on-site to fuse into a single, seamless membrane.
Property owners in Montgomery choose built-up roofing when they need a low-slope or flat roof that can stand up to heavy foot traffic, ponding water, and the sudden temperature swings common in Central Alabama. It’s a common fit for warehouses, retail centers, office buildings, and multi-family properties across the Wetumpka and Prattville corridors.
Hot tar roofing is also frequently specified during new roof installation or full roof replacement projects where a building owner wants a long-service-life system with a track record spanning generations. As part of our broader commercial roofing services, our team handles everything from initial installation to ongoing flat roof repair and maintenance.
Built-up roofing has stayed popular for one simple reason: it performs. The multi-ply design gives it a redundancy that single-ply systems like TPO or EPDM don’t always match, especially on roofs that see regular equipment traffic or heavy rainfall.
Business owners and property managers throughout Montgomery and Selma choose hot tar roofing for these advantages:
Every hot tar roofing project starts with a thorough inspection of your existing roof deck and drainage. From there, our roofing contractor follows a consistent process to make sure the finished membrane performs for decades.
Built-up roofing rewards experience. Getting the layering, temperature, and application right takes a crew that has done it many times over, in the exact climate conditions your building faces.
