Modified Bitumen (ModBit) is a rugged, multi-layer roofing system designed to handle the intense heat, UV exposure, hail, and temperature swings that define Colorado's climate. Its reinforced asphalt layers provide redundancy, flexibility in cold weather, and impact resistance that single-ply membranes can't always match.
EcoShield's ModBit solutions are ideal for owners and managers responsible for aging buildings, transitioning from built-up roofing (BUR), or looking for a tougher, long-term roofing system. From repairs to resurfacing to full multi-ply replacements, we deliver ModBit systems built to last.
ModBit is often the best solution for buildings exposed to heavy weather, foot traffic, or aging base layers. If you're managing a roof with recurring leaks, granule loss, or older BUR transitions, ModBit may offer the durability and redundancy you need.
Colorado's UV exposure, hail, and rapid temperature swings are tough on multi-layer roofing systems. Our ModBit crews solve the issues that shorten roof lifespans, impact tenants, and drive up maintenance costs.
Prolonged sun exposure weakens cap sheets and accelerates aging. We assess membrane condition, repair failing areas, and restore protection with durable solutions.
Granule wear exposes asphalt layers to the elements. We address affected areas and develop repair or resurfacing plans to extend the life of the system.
Moisture and trapped air between layers can cause blisters and separation. Our inspections identify underlying causes and recommend targeted repair or replacement.
Poor slope and drainage can lead to ponding, a major cause of ModBit deterioration. We evaluate slope, drains, scuppers, and gutters to keep water moving.
Colorado wind can loosen edges and perimeters. We strengthen flashing, adhesives, and terminations to restore wind resistance.
Older built-up roofs often struggle with transitions and details. We specialize in ModBit solutions that stabilize aging BUR layers and provide a smoother , more durable system.
Whether your roof needs localized repairs or a complete multi-ply replacement, EcoShield's commercial team builds ModBit solutions that match the age, condition, and demands of your property.
Full tear-off, disposal, and installation of a new multi-layer ModBit system, including updated insulation, improved drainage, and strong perimeter details. Ideal for older buildings, aging BUR transitions, and systems beyond repair.
For roofs that still have remaining life, we repair seams, granule-worn sections, blisters, and flashing details to stabilize the membrane and slow further deterioration.
When appropriate, we apply compatible surfacing treatments to reinforce aging cap sheets, improve UV resistance, and delay the need for full replacement.
Our Denver commercial team will inspect your ModBit system, document issues, and walk you through repair, resurfacing, or replacement options.

It flexes in low temperatures, stands up to hail, and provides multilayer redundancy that helps leaks and premature failures. For older buildings with demanding conditions, ModBit offers a durable and predictable roofing solution.
A detailed inspection helps us understand your roof's condition and determine whether repair, resurfacing, or replacement is the right fit.
We gather property details, roof history, known issues, and your investment goals to shape the inspection.
We evaluate membrane condition, seams, granule loss, blistering, drainage areas, penetrations, and transitions from aging BUR.
You receive clear recommendations for ModBit repair, resurfacing, or replacement based on current conditions and long-term goals.
After approval, we finalize materials, coordinate access, and complete work with minimal disruption to tenants or operations.
Even with a durable system like ModBit, drainage and insulation play critical roles in long-term performance. Every project includes an evaluation of these components.
We review slope, ponding areas, scuppers, gutters, and internal drains to ensure water sheds efficiently and reduces stress on the ModBit system.
We evaluate insulation layers and help you plan upgrades that support durability, comfort, and code requirements.
We assess existing cap sheets for granule loss, UV exposure, and opportunities for resurfacing to extend roof life.
Stay ahead of leaks and deterioration with a simple maintenance routine tailored to multi-ply ModBit systems.

How long does a ModBit roof typically last in Colorado?
A well-installed ModBit roof in Colorado typically lasts 20-30 years, depending on maintenance, drainage, and exposure. UV intensity, and freeze-thaw cycles can shorten that lifespan, but regular inspections and timely repairs can extend it significantly.
Can you repair a ModBit roof, or does it need full replacement?
Most ModBit roofs can be repaired, especially if issues are limited to seams, blisters, granule loss, or small membrane failures. When the membrane is severely aged, saturated, or approaching end-of-life, a full multi-ply replacement may be the most cost-effective long-term option. Our team evaluates both the membrane and underlying layers before recommending a path.
What causes blistering on ModBit roofs?
Blistering forms when air or moisture becomes trapped between layers of the roof. Colorado's rapid temperature swings expand those pockets, causing bubbles. Small, stable blisters can often be monitored, while larger or open blisters should be repaired to prevent water intrusion and membrane separation.
How does hail affect ModBit roofing?
ModBit performs better against hail than many single-ply systems thanks to its multi-layer asphalt reinforcement. However, hail can still cause granule loss, surface cracks, or impact marks. After a major storm, an inspection is recommended to document any damage and protect insurance coverage.
What's the difference between ModBit and built-up roofing (BUR)?
BUR uses multiple layers of felt and asphalt, while ModBit uses reinforced factory-manufactured sheets with modifiers that improve flexibility and durability. ModBit typically offers better cold-weather performance, cleaner installation, and more predictable longevity—making it a strong upgrade for aging BUR systems.
Does ModBit work well on older commercial buildings or multi-family properties?
Yes. ModBit is ideal for aging structures, HOAs, and multi-family roofs because it provides redundancy, flexibility, and impact resistance. its multi-ply structure performs well on buildings with complex transitions, older decks, or areas prone to foot traffic and weather stress.
Whether you're dealing with aging BUR layers, recurring ModBit issues, or planning a capital project, EcoShield's commercial team is ready to help across Denver and the I-25 corridor.
