Tar and Gravel Repairs

With a life expectancy of twenty years, the tar and gravel roof is a contemporary style of 'built-up' roof system (so named for the layers of material built up in the roof) that is prone to leaks and degradation in the extremism of the Okanagan climate.

The tar and gravel roof of an older building may experience blistering in the extreme Okanagan heat, particularly around trims and flashings, which leads to leaks or worse.

Our expert roofing crews know how to address the maintenance of these picky surfaces, mending those pesky leaks, helping seal the roof against future leaks, or replacing the whole of it entirely.

Keep it or Lose it?

The tar and gravel roof is not an evil monstrosity, but it is susceptible to the elements and movement. A tar and gravel roof that actually has foot traffic is not going to last very long.

However, to this day there are some tar and gravel rooves that date back to the early 1900's, needing minimal maintenance save for leak patches.

You can gauge the value of replacing your tar and gravel roof, depending on how much trouble you're having with leaks, splits, inflation, etc.

Let us have a look at your issue, and we will help you decide the best course of action.
