Monolithic Waterproofing. Extreme Weather Durability.
Heat-Fused Resilience. Industrial-Grade Defense.
The Standard for
Industrial Durability.
When your commercial facility requires a roof that can withstand heavy foot traffic, extreme temperature shifts, and high-impact weather, Torch Down (Modified Bitumen) remains a top-tier choice. This system utilizes a specialized asphalt-based membrane that is physically melted onto the roof surface, creating an inseparable, monolithic bond.
Unlike thinner single-ply membranes, a torch down system is reinforced with polyester or fiberglass mats, providing a thick, rubberized shield. It is highly elastic, allowing the roof to expand and contract without cracking, which is essential for large-scale commercial structures.
At Achilles Roofing & Exterior, we manage the high-stakes installation of torch down roofing with expert precision. We prioritize safety and technical accuracy, ensuring that every seam is properly bled out and every flashing is fused to provide stone-solid security. Our goal is to provide a high-value asset that delivers a reliable defense for your business, backed by our 5-year workmanship warranty.

Great price · $2,000–4,000
To cool down my attic, I decided to install a solar attic fan. I got proposals from four different vendors and evaluated them based on customer service, experience, implementation, and price. Achilles Roofing & Exteriors, led by Ahmad Faiz, was the standout choice.

Quick turnaround on some roof repairs we needed for the sale of our home. Everything was documented on the invoice and with photos. Very professional.
Great job on my Atrium cover. Used them before for my roof. Well done and very reasonable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is torch down safer than hot mop?
Yes. It eliminates the need for massive kettles of boiling asphalt on-site. We follow strict fire-watch protocols to ensure a professional, safe installation.
Can it be installed over an old roof?
Depending on local codes and deck integrity, a “recover” is often possible. This provides a fresh waterproof barrier while offering guaranteed savings.
How does it handle ponding water?
Torch down is highly resistant to standing water due to its thick, bitumen-rich composition, ensuring maximum asset protection.
Does it smell during installation?
There is a temporary asphalt scent during the torching process, but it dissipates quickly after completion with minimal interruption to tenants.
How does it compare to TPO?
Torch down is significantly thicker and more puncture-resistant than single-ply TPO, making it the better choice for high-traffic roofs.
