About Our Torch Down Roofing Service
Torch-down (modified bitumen) is one of the most reliable low-slope roofing systems available. It combines the redundancy of built-up roofing with the flexibility of a single-ply membrane. Our crews are trained in proper torch safety, obtain required city permits, and maintain fire watch protocol on every installation — critical in San Jose's fire-prone environment.

Low-slope residential sections, patio and porch covers, second-story additions, garage roofs, and small commercial applications.
Our Process

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does torch-down roofing last?
A properly installed 2-ply modified bitumen system lasts 15–20 years; 3-ply systems can reach 25 years. Longevity depends on cap-sheet quality and detailing at penetrations.
Is torch-down safe near living spaces?
Yes when installed with proper safety protocol. Our crews maintain fire watch, use fire-resistant blankets on adjacent materials, and pull required permits — never a corner-cut torch job.
