Tar and gravel roof

[Manage My Roof]

A tar and gravel roof is a durable, weather-resistant flat roofing system. It consists of layers of tar, felt, and gravel for protection. The gravel shields the tar from UV rays and prevents damage. This type of roof is long-lasting and ideal for commercial or residential buildings. Regular maintenance, like removing debris and checking for cracks, extends its lifespan. Over time, water pooling can lead to leaks if not addressed. Repairs involve adding more tar and gravel to damaged areas. Proper installation ensures excellent insulation and weather resistance.
