Asphalt Roofing repairs

Posted by Jack Wilson, on
I have a solid asphalt flat roof above a double garage that seems to require a maintenance every 10 years. This consists of cutting out patches and replacing with melted asphalt from a portable boiler. Is this a job any roofing company can do?

Hi Jack, No, it is not - some roofers have never practiced that technique. Please post a job on the rain site - if you provide details that you have an asphalt roof that requires patching it will be clear for the roofers, (that can do that type of work). Alternatively, you could renew the whole roof with a new material as the asphalt will continue to fail in different areas, (around the current / historic repairs.

No you can not get any roofing company to fix an asphalt roof make shore they are a retested asphalt company
