Expert Modified Bitumen Roofing in Port Richmond, PA

Modified bitumen roofing is a proven flat roof system built for Port Richmond's row homes, mixed-use buildings, and warehouses. The system uses asphalt-based membranes reinforced with fiberglass or polyester. Those layers bond together to create a watertight barrier that holds up through freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rain, and summer heat. Port Richmond properties face all three. Many homes here have flat or low-slope roofs with parapet walls, interior drains, and HVAC penetrations. Those details demand precise installation at every corner and seam. Malcolm Bros Roofing handles each of those points with care. We inspect the existing deck before any work begins. From there, we apply each layer to spec so water moves off the roof the way it should. If your flat roof is leaking, blistering, or showing worn seams, call Malcolm Bros Roofing to schedule an inspection in Port Richmond.

Modified Bitumen Roofing FAQ

Common questions about modified bitumen roofing in Port Richmond, PA.

Yes, modified bitumen is well-suited to Port Richmond row homes with flat or low-slope roofs. Its torch-applied installation seals reliably at parapet corners and interior drains where leaks most often start.

We start with a full deck inspection before any material goes down. Each membrane layer is applied to manufacturer spec, with close attention to drains, edges, and any roof penetrations.

In many cases, yes. Minor seam failures, small blisters, and localized wear can often be repaired if the underlying deck is sound. Malcolm Bros Roofing will assess the roof and tell you exactly what it needs.

A properly installed modified bitumen roof can last 20 years or more with routine maintenance. Regular inspections after heavy storms help catch small issues before they become larger problems.

Yes, we install and repair modified bitumen roofing on both residential and commercial properties in Port Richmond. Warehouses, mixed-use buildings, and row homes are all within our scope.

I have used Malcolm Bros the last few years for roof repair, and maintenance and then to redo my roof. Barry is dependable, communicative, thorough and gives fair pricing. The workers do the job and everything is cleaned up when they're finished. I recommend Malcolm Bros to all my friends and family.
