Modified Bitumen Roof Replacement in NYC | Paragon Roofing

When it comes to roofing in New York City, not all services are created equal. With the harsh winters, blistering summers, and the structural demands of urban buildings, your roof system needs to do more than just look good—it needs to last. At Paragon Chimney and Roofing, we specialize in modified bitumen roof replacement, delivering reliable, high-quality results that protect your property and provide peace of mind.

We combine skilled labor, advanced materials, and decades of industry knowledge to offer roofing solutions that stand the test of time. As a trusted roofing contractor in NYC, we understand that your building’s integrity is paramount. You need a roofing system that can withstand extreme weather, fluctuating temperatures, and the daily wear and tear that urban rooftops endure. That’s exactly what modified bitumen roofing delivers—and Paragon executes it with precision.

 

Why Modified Bitumen Roofing Is Ideal for New York City

New York City buildings face unique challenges: fluctuating temperatures, dense construction, and exposure to both urban pollution and extreme weather. Modified bitumen roofing systems, often enhanced with SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) or fiberglass layers, are engineered to perform exceptionally well under these conditions, making them the ideal choice for flat and low-slope roofs in NYC. While built-up roofs can also provide protection, modified bitumen remains the preferred choice due to its advanced performance features, particularly its superior polymerization process.

 

This modern, high-performance roof system combines asphalt material with rubber or plastic modifiers, such as polymer compounds, to provide:

• Superior waterproofing: Prevents water infiltration and long-term damage to your roofing system.
• Energy efficiency: Reflective coatings help regulate indoor temperatures, helping to reduce energy costs.
• Enhanced durability: Withstands foot traffic, debris, and NYC’s freeze-thaw cycles, making it an excellent choice for commercial roofing.
• Flexibility and elasticity: Expands and contracts without cracking under temperature shifts, ideal for low-slope or flat roofs.
• Fire resistance: Adds an extra layer of protection to your building.

 

Modified bitumen roofing systems are multi-layered, easy to maintain, and built to last 20 to 30 years with minimal upkeep. This makes them one of the most cost-effective options for flat roof and low-slope roof systems.

 

What to Expect From Our Modified Bitumen Roof Replacement Service

At Paragon Chimney and Roofing, we follow a proven process to ensure every modified bitumen roof replacement meets our exacting standards. Our goal is not just to replace your roofing system, but to enhance the overall resilience and value of your property.

 

Thorough Inspection and Consultation

Every project begins with a comprehensive roof inspection. We evaluate the condition of your current roof system, identify vulnerabilities, and offer recommendations tailored to your building’s needs. You’ll receive a clear explanation of your options, cost estimates, and timelines—no surprises.

 

Safe and Professional Tear-Off

We handle the full removal of your old roofing materials with care. Our crew keeps the job site clean and organized, safely disposing of debris while ensuring minimal disruption to your tenants or business operations.

 

Deck Preparation and Repair

Before installing the new roofing layers, we inspect your roof deck to ensure it’s solid, dry, and structurally sound. Any signs of rot, moisture damage, or weakness are addressed immediately to create a strong foundation for the new modified bitumen roof.

 

Modified Bitumen Installation

Our team uses high-quality, industry-approved materials for the application of the modified bitumen roofing system. Depending on your property, we may use cold adhesive or heat-welded seams to create a seamless, waterproof roof membrane. The modified bitumen system typically includes a blend of SBS and fiberglass to enhance flexibility and durability.

 

The multi-layered application typically includes:

• A base sheet for stability.
• An optional mid-layer for insulation and soundproofing.
• A cap sheet with UV reflective surfacing to help reduce energy costs and add aesthetic appeal.
  

 

Once installed, your new modified bitumen roof is fully sealed, storm-ready, and built for performance in all seasons.

 

Final Cleanup and Quality Check

Before considering the job complete, we perform a detailed inspection to ensure every seam is sealed, and the roof membrane is flawless. We leave your property clean and tidy, with a fully warrantied roof system that you can trust.
