What this service actually solves
Where torch down modified bitumen still fits.
Torch down (modified bitumen) remains a strong system for small flat roofs, low-slope porch covers, and select commercial applications where the layered waterproofing approach matches the building. It is a different conversation than single-ply TPO/PVC, and it is not the right call on every flat roof.
The decision: A torch down system when the roof size and detailing fit. A single-ply membrane when scale or use case argues for it.

Common questions
About Torch down roofing.
Answers to the questions most owners ask before approving roof work. Reach out if your situation needs a different conversation.
Is torch down safe to install over a wood structure?
With the right base sheet and fire-safe procedures, yes. SunCraft assesses substrate, base-sheet specification, and the safety protocol before approving a torch application.
How long does a torch down roof last?
A properly installed multi-layer torch down roof typically performs 15-25 years. Maintenance, drainage, and detail-work quality drive most of that range.
