We partner with trusted roofing professionals in the area who are licensed, insured, experienced, and knowledgeable with all types of roofing. When you contact us, we’ll find the team to help you install your tar and gravel roof.
What is Tar and Gravel Roofing?
This type of roofing is made with laminated layers of hot tar, roofing felt, and asphalt sheets. On top of these materials lies a layer of gravel that helps protect the layers underneath by preventing damage from the UV rays of the sun. This is most commonly installed on flat roofs that have very little slope.
Also known as built-up roofing, the materials required to install this roof are very heavy. This is why it’s important to work with a roofer who will do a thorough inspection before any work begins. By doing this inspection they will be able to accurately determine if any additional supports are needed to safely install the materials.
Tar and Gravel Roofing Costs?
The price of a tar and gravel roof will vary based on the size of property it’s being installed on. However, the average price normally ranges from $2.50 to $4.50 per square foot, installed. Your roofer will be able to provide an accurate estimate for how much this will cost after they’ve had a chance to do an inspection of your roof.

Affordable
Energy Efficient
Durable
Rain, hail, snow, and wind are no match for this type of roof. The materials will fully protect the building from any leaks or damage, especially if there are many layers installed to make a thicker roof.
Simple Installation
The installation process of a tar and gravel roof is simpler than the installation of other roofing materials. However, it’s still important to have this work done by an experienced and licensed roofer.

Inspection
An inspection is important when having roofing work done, as this will tell the roofer what shape the roof is in. An inspection also allows the roofer to provide a more accurate estimate so you can set your budget with peace of mind. At Action 1 Roofing, we work with roofers who provide inspections to get any project off to a good start.
Repair
The repairs that your roof needs will be explained by your roofer before any work begins. We know budgeting is important, which is why we work with roofing companies that strive to give you accurate information about what repairs must be done before the new roof can be installed.
