Ballasted Roofing System For Businesses in Tulsa, OK

Ballasted roofs are often considered a better choice than conventional flat roof membranes. Like its name suggests, ballast systems help anchor the roofing materials by adding weight through gravel, sand, or stone. Rather than adhering the roof membrane to the underlying decking material, they are "ballasted" with gravel. In this roofing system, no adhesives, nails, or screws are needed to hold the roof together. At A. Fricker Roofing and Waterproofing, we offer to install ballast roofs to give your business the necessary protection it deserves.

Benefits Of A Ballasted Roof

Selecting a particular roofing material for your business is not an easy task. The material you choose should be the perfect fit for your needs. If you decide to go with ballasted roof installation in Tulsa, you will get the following benefits:

This type of roofing is highly durable. A ballasted roof can sustain the effects of thermal expansion and contraction.
You can save money with this roofing system, as it is very cost-effective when compared to others.
This roof is environmentally friendly as the installation is done using gravel instead of concrete.
It is easily accessible for maintenance and cleaning. The contractor can make repairs (if necessary) easily.
Since these are not attached, the materials used can be easily recycled, thus reducing waste.

The Ballast Roof Installation Process

The weight of the ballast material keep the roofing components in place no matter the weather. Here is how this roof is installed:
The roof of your commercial property is first completely waterproofed using an underlayment to ensure the system is not susceptible to leaks.
Then comes the main part, the ballast. There is the material that the contractor will use to hold the mat down. The most common materials are stone or (polymer) plastic pellets.
Depending on the type of your roof, you can use stones of different colors so that they can match the structure.

James was timely, professional and very clear in his communication. He made an initial assessment and was clear on his thoughts but was very thorough in his assessment and still walked us through his results and what he had done and what to be on the alert for. Made it clear to freely reach out to him directly if further questions or concerns. Very personable. Would recommend 100 out of 100 times!!!

I cannot say enough fantastic things about Fricker Roofing . Tucker Sewell came out May 2024 and inspected my roof and believed that I had hail damage and would be able to get my insurance company to cover it. However, when the claim adjuster came out, he denied the claim. Kyle then stepped in and worked diligently, taking pictures and sending documentation into my insurance company and was able to get a re-inspection done at what point they approved it! They not only worked incredibly hard getting my insurance company to approve this claim but they did an absolutely phenomenal adding new decking, anew roof roofing, adding vents which I’ve never had before and all new gutters ! Every employee I dealt with was professional, showed up on time and always did what they said they would. I was also incredibly impressed with how much they cleaned up the job site when they were done. This is the first time I’ve ever written a Google review but I wanted to take the time to do it for this company because in my book they are top-notch and I couldn’t imagine having any other company roof my home!

I had roof caps (copper) replaced over three windows. I was given an estimate, and a date when work would be done. Workers showed up on time and were finished in a timely manner. Couldn’t be happier with the workmanship. Would highly recommend.

As a General Contractor I'm used to dealing with contractors. I sought out A. Flicker for their expertise in red clay tile roofing. For a 100 year old historic mansion we were contracted to remodel and restore. We knew the roof leaked and would require attention. As it turned out it had to be completely removed. The red clay tile cleaned, new decking and waterproof membrane installed, the clay tile reinstalled. A.Fricker's whole crew were great communicating well with me and my crew. The communication was great they addressed all my concerns. The whole installation was done very professionally. I will use them again in the future.
