Torch-down roofs are one of the most common roofing options for either flat or slightly sloped roofs because they are cost-effective, highly water-resistant and energy-efficient. This roofing style is called torch-down because the installation process involves using a handheld propane torch to apply the sheets of modified bitumen to the roof’s surface. As these sheets are unrolled across the roof, the heat from the torch adheres the material to the roof, creating a smooth, waterproof seal.
Because torch-down roofing requires certain specialized equipment and expertise to install it properly, finding an experienced roofing contractor with a background in this kind of roofing is essential. However, when installed properly, torch-down roofs have a lifespan of around 15 years, making them a great value for properties with flat roofs. The modified bitumen material is designed to expand or contract without melting or cracking, making it an ideal choice for nearly any climate. If you are looking for an affordable option for your flat or slightly sloped roof that will provide excellent protection against the elements and help improve energy efficiency without breaking the bank, a torch-down roof may be the solution for you.

Though torch-down roofs offer a whole host of incredible benefits to property owners, the installation process itself requires great precision and precaution because the use of an open-flame torch is inherently dangerous. A torch-down roof installation project should not be entrusted to just any roofing contractor.
In order to properly adhere the weather-resistant bitumen sheets to your roof, the material itself must be exposed to extreme temperatures that only a blow torch can provide. Roofers who take on this task must be familiar with the safety protocol involved with handling this equipment in order to carry out the job safely and effectively. Beyond simply handling the torch with care, torch-down roofs also require extreme precision when applying the bitumen sheets in order to achieve a seamless, waterproof seal and avoid any gaps or bubbling. The seal can easily be compromised if water or moisture becomes trapped between the layers during installation.
At Atlas Roofing, our team of seasoned torch-down roofers have ample experience executing an installation safely and effectively. Each member of our team is well-versed in handling this potentially dangerous equipment. We are fully licensed and insured for the protection of both our staff and our clients.

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.

You will be in great hands with them !

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.
