Professional Mod Bit Roofing Contractors
As licensed Arizona roofing professionals, we know that a properly installed roofing system is essential for long-term performance and energy efficiency. Modified bitumen, or “mod bit,” is a flexible and highly durable option for flat and low-slope roofs, especially in commercial applications where traditional shingles aren’t ideal. Our services include:
Mod Bit Roof Installation
Our installation process starts with detailed inspection and substrate preparation to ensure a smooth foundation. We evaluate insulation, drainage, and roof slope before applying the membrane system that best suits your property’s needs.
We’ll help you choose between SBS or APP membranes—the two most common and reliable systems for Arizona roofs—based on your building type, climate exposure, and performance goals.
Mod Bit Roof Repair
If your low-slope roof is leaking, blistering, or showing seam separation, prompt repair is key. Our specialists quickly diagnose the issue and restore full waterproofing to prevent further damage.
Repairing a mod bit system at the first sign of wear can save thousands in structural or water damage costs. We use top-grade materials and repair techniques suited for Arizona’s high-heat conditions.
Mod Bit Roof Replacement
When repair isn’t enough or your existing system has reached the end of its service life, we offer full roof replacement services. We remove the old membrane, inspect the deck/insulation below, and install a modern roofing system to restore full performance and durability.
Benefits of Modified Bitumen Roofing
Using a mod bit roof system offers several advantages, especially for Arizona buildings with low-slope or flat roofs:
- Flexibility and Movement Resistance: Because modified bitumen membranes are polymer-enhanced, they can expand and contract with roof structure movement and temperature fluctuations without cracking.
- Excellent Waterproofing: Multi-layer mod bit systems provide robust protection against water infiltration.
- Durability for Low-Slope Applications: Ideal for flat or low-slope roofs (common on commercial and some residential buildings) where traditional roofing may struggle.
- Energy Efficiency Options: Some membranes offer reflective surfacing or coatings that help reduce heat absorption—important in Arizona’s intense sun.
- Cost-Effective When Installed Properly: When maintained, a mod bit roof provides good value for the service life in its category.
Types of Modified Bitumen Roofing
In Arizona, we primarily install and service two main types of modified bitumen systems, each chosen for their performance in desert conditions:
SBS (Styrene Butadiene Styrene) Membranes
SBS membranes are asphalt modified with rubber-like polymers (synthetic rubber). They offer superior flexibility, making them great for roofs subject to movement, wind, or temperature swings. They can be installed via torch, self-adhesive, or cold-process adhesives.
APP (Atactic Polypropylene) Membranes
APP membranes are plastic-modified asphalt that provides excellent UV and heat resistance. They’re particularly well-suited for sun-exposed roofs in cities like Phoenix, Mesa, and Prescott. APP systems are typically torch-applied or heat-welded for a strong, watertight seal.
