Hot mop roofing is one of the most affordable options for a flat or low slope roof. As the name suggests, this method involves spreading hot liquid asphalt with a specialized mop that helps to apply it evenly across the entire surface. This kind of asphalt finish is used on existing flat (or nearly flat) roofs as long as the structure can withstand the additional weight. Once a few layers of asphalt have been applied, an optional layer of stone and gravel is often put on top to help block UV rays from making direct contact with the asphalt as well as to prevent bubbling.
Many business owners and homeowners opt for a hot mop roof because it offers an array of performance benefits without breaking the bank. The finished surface is seamless and entirely waterproof, making it far less prone to leaks than other roofing options. This gives hot mop roofs a certain degree of longevity and durability. Though the installation process is quite labor-intensive, it is relatively straightforward and quick in comparison to a concrete alternative.

The hot mop process may be relatively straightforward, but it is also labor-intensive, messy, and even dangerous when handled by a roofing contractor without the proper equipment or expertise. Hot mop roofing is certainly not a DIY project. The asphalt must be heated to around 400 degree Fahrenheit and then carefully and evenly applied across the entire surface of the roof. Each layer of asphalt is separated by a special felt that must be laid out precisely in order to avoid bubbling and cracking in the asphalt over time. Each stage of the process involves significant risk both to those who are handling the molten asphalt and to the future of the roof when not executed properly.
At Atlas Roofing, we take great care throughout the hot mopping process to contain the asphalt, spread it evenly and install proper drainage to prevent puddling down the line. Because of the inherent danger in this process, we take great caution to ensure both our own team and your property are protected. As with all the work we do for our cherished clients, we remain committed to the superior craftsmanship and excellent customer we have built our name on!

We worked with Cinzia at Atlas Roofing. She was an excellent communicator and took obvious pride in the work her company does. We had to have the roof of our patio redone; the whole crew was terrific. Would highly recommend giving them a call.

We've worked with Atlas in the past and this time Michael was our point person for an extensive repair of a leaky apartment roof. He was easy to communicate with and responsive, and his team did great work -- as they have in the past. Roofs are serious business and you want someone who really knows what they're doing. Atlas fills the bill!

Michael was very responsive and was able to come to my house, look at my roof and send me a quote quickly.. all in a few hours .
Later he showed up with the crew and knocked the project out faster than expected.
I would definitely recommend to anyone who is interested in this kind of project.
