SYSTEMS
Built-Up Roof
The built-up roofing system is compiled from multiple layers of roofing plies (typically 2 to 4) adhered with adhesive or hot asphalt. The roof system is usually surfaced with a gravel layer embedded in hot asphalt or adhesive but can also be surfaced with a granulized cap sheet or coating. It can be installed over a multitude of roof decks and insulations.
Coatings
Roof coatings are typically used in a restorative capacity to prolong the lifespan of an existing roof. Roof coatings can be installed over existing modified bitumen roofing systems, built-up roofing, metal roofing, and spray foam roofing. Multi-year manufacturer warranties also are commonly available.
Modified bitumen
Modified bitumen roofing systems are multi-ply systems usually consisting of 2-3 layers of a composite roll and surfaced with granules or foils. These systems are typically utilized on low slope roof areas in conjunction with varying insulations and deck systems, but are sometimes installed on steep slope substrates.
Single Ply
Single ply roofing systems typically are sheet membrane products over various insulation boards, and roof decks. Some common single ply roofing systems are TPO, PVC, and EPDM materials. Typical installation methods include mechanically attached, fully adhered, or ballasted.
Steep Slope Roof
Steep-slope roofing is typically considered to be any roof system which has a slope equal to or greater than 3:12 (though in some cases, it is defined as any slope >2:12). Some of these roof systems can be asphalt shingles, wood or cedar shakes and shingles, clay or concrete tile, or various metal or synthetic systems.
Tapered Insulation Systems
The system is an assembly of roof insulation that is sloped to provide primary slope on a roof deck where the existing roof deck does not provide adequate drainage. Slopes typically range from ¼” per foot to ½” per foot. It is utilized on several different roof decks and under most any low slope roofing system.
Waterproofing
Waterproofing systems are utilized to prevent the passage of water under hydrostatic conditions (where water is present). System components include a membrane and additional components such as insulation and drainage materials. These are typically below-grade installations but can also include above grade walls, patios, and balconies.
SERVICES
Roof Replacement
The process of removing the existing roof system, repairing any damaged substrate and installing a new roof system; also known as "reroofing" and “tear-off and replacement”.
New Construction
The construction of a roof system on a new building or building addition. New construction roof systems do not involve the removal, recover or replacement of an existing system.
Repairs and Services
Extreme weather such as tornadoes, hail, snow, downed trees, even seasonal freeze, and thaw cycles can damage your roof and lead to leaks.

Snow Removal
Tecta America New England’s commercial roofing snow removal team understands the complexities and layout of your roof and can safely remove snow from your commercial roof to help prevent a roof collapse from snow load.
Skylight/Smoke Hatch
An economical method for daylighting a facility while meeting fire code would be a single unit skylight/smoke hatch combination.
ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS
Cool Roof
Cool roof surfaces can remain at markedly lower temperatures when exposed to solar heat compared to roofs constructed with traditional non-reflective roofing products. Tecta America professionals can help assess your needs depending on your building and its geographic location.
Daylighting
Daylighting is the practice of placing windows or other openings and reflective surfaces so that natural light provides effective internal lighting during daylight hours. To maximize visual comfort and reduce energy use, special attention is given to daylighting while designing a commercial building.
Green Roof
Green or Vegetative Roofs are composed of several layers including an underlying waterproofing system, soil media and vegetation. Benefits of this system include: lower energy costs, LEED recognition, air quality, reduced storm water runoff, extended roof life.
Solar
A solar panel, also called a photo-voltaic module, is an assembly of photo-voltaic cells mounted in a frame work for installation. Photo-voltaic cells use sunlight as a source of energy and generate direct current electricity.
