South Florida's Modified Bitumen Replacement Experts — 30+ Years Commercial Experience
Modified bitumen roof replacement is the most common commercial roofing project in South Florida — and one of the most disruptive if not managed properly. Roofing Network has replaced modified bitumen systems on commercial buildings across the tri-county area since 1993, with a project management approach built specifically around minimizing operational disruption: weekend mobilization, after-hours tear-off for occupied buildings, phased section-by-section replacement to keep parts of the roof dry throughout the project.
Modified bitumen is a durable, proven system for South Florida's commercial flat roof market — available in SBS (polymer-modified, cold-weather flexible) and APP (atactic polypropylene, heat-applied, UV-stable) formulations. Our commercial installations specify the right cap sheet product for your building's exposure conditions and rooftop equipment load, with the underlayment specification that Florida's HVHZ coastal wind zones require.
Key Benefits
• Weekend & After-Hours Scheduling: Torch-down and cold-applied systems can be scheduled for weekends or after-hours — eliminating odor and fire-safety concerns for occupied commercial buildings.
• Section-by-Section Phasing: We can phase replacement across multiple weekends or work periods, keeping undisturbed sections of the roof under temporary protection — so your business never operates under a fully exposed roof deck.
• 30-Year Commercial Track Record: Roofing Network has replaced modified bitumen systems on retail strips, warehouses, office buildings, churches, HOA buildings, and industrial facilities across South Florida since 1993.

Why Choose Us
4 Reasons Roofing Network is South Florida's Top Choice
Minimal Business Disruption
01
Commercial roofing replacement has to work around your business schedule — not the other way around. We offer weekend mobilization, after-hours tear-off, and phased section replacement to keep your facility operational and your occupants unaffected throughout the project. All operational plans are documented and agreed before mobilization.
SBS or APP — Right System for Your Building
02
Modified bitumen comes in two primary formulations. SBS (torch-applied) offers superior flexibility and cold-crack resistance. APP (torch-applied or cold-applied) offers superior UV resistance and is preferred for low-slope roofs with high solar exposure — standard across South Florida's coastal commercial market. We specify the right product for your building's geometry, exposure, and HVAC load.
Full Permit & Inspection Management
03
Commercial roof replacement permits in South Florida require NOA documentation, energy code compliance forms, and county inspection. We manage the full process — submission, tracking, inspector scheduling — and provide the Certificate of Completion your property records require.
Commercial Warranty Options
01
Every modified bitumen replacement includes our 5-year workmanship warranty. For qualifying buildings, we offer manufacturer-backed NDL (No-Dollar-Limit) warranties from major manufacturers — covering both materials and labor for 10, 15, or 20 years. NDL warranties require manufacturer-approved installation and inspection.
Modified Bitumen System Options
Modified bitumen roofing is available in several configurations — each with specific performance characteristics appropriate for different South Florida commercial building types and exposure conditions.

2-Ply SBS Torch-Down | Torch-applied base + cap | Standard commercial low-slope, occupied buildings | NDL 10–20yr available |
