Vogler Sheet Metal provides commercial built-up roofing (BUR) solutions for facilities that require proven durability, exceptional waterproofing protection, and long-term performance. Built-up roofing has been a trusted commercial roofing system for more than a century and continues to be a preferred choice for low-slope and flat-roof applications throughout Houston, the Gulf Coast, and across Texas.
Built-up roofing systems consist of multiple layers of reinforcing fabrics and asphalt that are installed to create a highly durable, redundant waterproofing membrane. Because of its multi-layer construction, BUR provides superior protection against standing water, weather exposure, roof traffic, and the demanding environmental conditions often experienced along the Gulf Coast.
Whether you are planning a new construction project, replacing an aging roof, or evaluating long-term roofing options for an industrial or commercial facility, Vogler Sheet Metal can design and install a built-up roofing system tailored to your building's specific needs.

A Proven Roofing System for Demanding Facilities
Built-up roofing continues to be a preferred solution for many industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, educational campuses, healthcare facilities, warehouses, and commercial buildings because of its ability to withstand demanding conditions over time.
Unlike single-layer membrane systems, BUR systems provide multiple layers of reinforcement. This layered design creates additional protection against water intrusion and helps minimize the impact of minor damage that can occur during the roof's service life.
For buildings where long-term reliability is a priority, built-up roofing remains one of the most trusted roofing solutions available.
Performance Depends on Proper Installation
Even the best roofing materials can fail if critical details are overlooked. Successful built-up roofing systems depend on proper installation practices, quality materials, and attention to detail throughout the project.
At Vogler Sheet Metal, we understand that roofing performance extends far beyond the roof membrane itself. Flashings, penetrations, drainage systems, edge conditions, expansion joints, coping systems, and sheet metal details all play an important role in creating a watertight building envelope.
Our combination of commercial roofing expertise and custom sheet metal capabilities allows us to deliver complete roofing systems designed for long-term performance and protection.
If your facility is evaluating a roof replacement, planning a new construction project, or seeking a durable solution for a low-slope roof, Vogler Sheet Metal is ready to help.
