Modified Bitumen installation with the owner on the job.
A new modified bitumen roof is bought once and lived with for decades, which is why the installation decisions, the ones nobody can see from the street, matter more than the brochure ever will.

Because lap integrity and surfacing condition tell the whole story on mod-bit; granule loss on the cap sheet is the early warning most owners miss.
Modified bitumen brings asphalt toughness to low-slope roofs in redundant layers, a system that takes foot traffic and Florida sun better than almost any single-ply.

Our shop is at 70 County Road 532C in Bushnell and we run this work across Sumter, Lake, Citrus, Hernando and Marion counties. The person who answers the phone runs the crew, the quote arrives written and line-item, and the 10-year workmanship warranty behind it is registered before we call anything done.
Modified Bitumen Installation
What the work actually includes.
No mystery scopes. This is what a modified bitumen roof installation from Tippy Top covers, in writing, every time.
- System design first. Slope, structure, drainage and ventilation get read before any material is ordered, so the system fits the building instead of the other way around.
- Full written scope. Materials named line by line, lap integrity and surfacing condition tell the whole story on mod-bit; granule loss on the cap sheet is the early warning most owners miss spelled out, and the timeline in writing before work starts.
- Deck honesty. We probe the deck during the quote and price any replacement per sheet up front, so tear-off day holds no hostage negotiations.
- Code and permits. Installed to current Florida code, permitted in your name and signed off by a county inspector.
- Manufacturer-spec details. Fastening, laps, terminations and flashings done to the letter, because that is what keeps the material warranty real.
- Registered warranties. The manufacturer coverage plus our own 10-year workmanship warranty on new roofs and re-roofs, both registered in writing before we call it done.
What installation means on a Central Florida modified bitumen roof.
Central Florida is the hardest place in the country to be a roof, and modified bitumen roofs here live with UV that cooks binders and membranes, daily thermal swings that work every fastener, and a June-through-November storm season that tests each edge and detail. Installation decisions made with that reality in mind are why two identical roofs can be a decade apart in condition.
The system knowledge matters as much as the weather knowledge: lap integrity and surfacing condition tell the whole story on mod-bit; granule loss on the cap sheet is the early warning most owners miss. That is the difference between a crew that has done this exact work across five counties and a crew reading the wrapper on the way up the ladder.
And the paperwork is part of the craft. Permits filed in your name with the county, manufacturer requirements met so warranties stay real, and photos plus written scopes at every step, because a roof that is on record protects you at claim time and at sale time.

Modified Bitumen Installation questions, answered straight.
How long does a modified bitumen installation take?
Most residential-scale installs wrap in one to four days depending on size and complexity; larger and commercial projects get a written schedule with the quote. We put a firm timeline in writing and keep the site clean every evening either way.
Do you handle the permit?
Always, and in your name. Every qualifying installation is permitted, inspected and closed out with the county, so the roof is on record where it counts for insurance and resale.
What does a new modified bitumen cost?
It depends on size, structure and detail work, which is why we do not quote from a truck window. You get a free on-site look and a written line-item number, and what we quote is what you pay.
What warranty comes with it?
Two layers: the manufacturer’s coverage on the material, registered properly so it actually holds, and our own 10-year labor warranty on the workmanship of new roofs and re-roofs, in writing.
Can you work around my schedule?
Yes. Homes get clean starts and clean finishes; businesses get work sequenced around hours and operations. Tell us the constraint and we will build the plan around it.
