Documented roof planning for restaurant roofing across Las Vegas commercial facilities.
Frequently asked questions
Is built-up roofing still installed new on Las Vegas commercial buildings?
Essentially no. New hot-asphalt BUR installation has been displaced in the Las Vegas market by single-ply membranes and fluid-applied systems that perform better in the Mojave Desert's temperature range and are more practical to install at 100°F+ ambient temperatures. We can specify and install BUR where a building's situation specifically requires it, but for virtually every Las Vegas commercial replacement or new installation, TPO, PVC, or silicone restoration is the honest recommendation.
My Las Vegas building has a gravel-surfaced BUR that has been patched repeatedly. Is it salvageable?
Possibly — but the condition of the plies beneath the gravel cap determines that answer, not the surface appearance or the patch history. A BUR that has been repeatedly patched at flashings or isolated field failures can still have dry, structurally sound plies across most of its area. Core cuts at representative locations will show whether the insulation is dry and the plies are intact. If the cores come back clean, a recover or coating system may extend the asset significantly. If the plies are saturated or delaminated, patching history is irrelevant — replacement is the scope.
How do you handle gravel removal during BUR tear-off on a Las Vegas building?
Gravel-surfaced BUR tear-off generates significant debris volume and requires rooftop vacuum equipment on buildings where waste disposal access is constrained — the resort corridor, downtown Las Vegas, and buildings with limited dumpster staging. We include gravel removal logistics in the pre-construction mobilization plan and coordinate disposal. The gravel is collected separately from membrane debris and can be directed to aggregate recycling facilities where the owner's sustainability program requires documented disposal.
Aging BUR on a Las Vegas commercial building?
We will walk the roof, pull core cuts, and produce a written assessment — replace or recover, with system options, installed cost estimates, and warranty paths appropriate to the Las Vegas market.
