What is a Modified Roof System?

Modified bitumen roofing originated in 1960’s Europe as an innovation to built-up roof systems—the most popular commercial roofing solution at the time. Modified bitumen roofs boast major improvements to older low-slope and flat roofing solutions, including lower costs and increased performance.

As an asphalt-based roofing system, modified bitumen roofing comprises a combination of polymerized rubber or plastic and fiberglass layers that form a flexible, watertight roof membrane. When it comes to modified roof system installation, modified bitumen comes packaged in rolls, and can be applied via heat welded, cold-adhered, or self-adhered methods.

Advantages of Modified Roofing

With extreme weather protection, durable and flexible materials, and simplified installation, modified bitumen roofs stand out among leading roofing solutions for low-slope and flat roof structures. To create modified bitumen roofing, roofers apply an asphalt base layer, enhance it with polymers, reinforce it with fiberglass, and finish with additional base and protective coats.

Here are a few advantages of modified bitumen roofing systems:

Watertight leak resistance
Portable and easy-to-work-with
Simple installation & repair process
Multi-layer, weather-proof materials for max durability
Heat reflective & UV resistance for reduced energy costs
Low lifetime maintenance costs
Flexible and tear-resistant for increased lifespan
Reusable/recyclable materials for improved sustainability
A diverse range of style choices for all types of applications
Easy to fix with off-the-shelf roof repair products

Ideal Applications for a Modified Roof System

Modified bitumen roofing works best for commercial and residential structures with flat or low-slope roofs that allow for asphalt-based solutions. With heavy resistance to extreme weather, a modified bitumen roof system shines in both hot and cold climates. Thanks to its unique combination of asphalt, polymers, and fiberglass, modified roofing keeps you comfortable all year long by insulating during colder months and blocking out heat in warmer months.

A huge shout out to Shain Roofing and Sheet Metal Inc! I phoned them looking for scrap supplies for a volunteer community project and Mark did not hesitate to help, donating exactly what we needed, exceeding our expectations! Their generosity made a huge impact and was so appreciated! If this is how they treat people they aren't even billing, I can only imagine the care they take with their actual clients. A huge thanks to the team!

We are a commercial building in Birmingham and had several leaks after a big snowstorm and called in the morning and they came out the same day. They were honest, fast and CHEAP! They were so nice and fixed the problem on the spot. I had called another roofing company and they came out and quoted over $4,000.00, which was ridiculous! Highly recommend! We will only use Shain from now on!

Great business to work with. Outstanding customer service and follow up from Mark. Pat came out next day to evaluate the roof leak. Received quote to complete the job within 24 hours and began work the next day. Pat found other roof penetrations that were beginning to fail and fixed those too. No leaks after 2 hard rains and blowing winds. Thanks Mark and Pat!
