At Hercules Roofing, we provide superior torch down roofing services in Huntington Beach, CA. Torch down roofing is a flat or low-slope roof covering that consists of modified bitumen. We install these bitumen sheets by melting them into the roof structure with a propane torch.
As a reputable roofing contractor in Huntington Beach, we have the equipment, skills, and insurance to provide you with a top-quality, risk-free torch down roof replacement. Our services also include torch down roof repair and maintenance.
How does a torch down roof installation work? At Hercules Roofing, we apply this flat roofing by following the steps below:
During this final step, we install flashing along the roof edges, in the valleys, and along the roof penetration edges.
These bottom layers provide an adhesion surface for the modified bitumen, making the roof waterproof.
We roll out the first sheet of bitumen over the cover board, then heat the material with a hand-held propane torch. As the material heats up, it adheres to the board surface.
The cap sheet is the final bitumen layer, and we apply it with the same method as the base sheet. The fusion between the bitumen layers creates one impermeable layer, which seals the roof surface.
Before each torch down roof installation, we inspect the underlying structure thoroughly to ensure it can support the bitumen layers.
Professional torch down roof installation is critical to get all the benefits of this type of flat roof. These benefits include:
You can expect your new torch down roof to last around 20 years with proper maintenance. You can also use your torch down roof as an installation surface for solar panels or HVAC units.
