When it comes to protecting your commercial property in Lincoln or Omaha, Nebraska, roofing isn’t a one-size-fits-all decision. At Pete’s Builders, we specialize in Modified Bitumen Roofing in Lincoln—a time-tested, cost-effective solution for flat or low-slope commercial roofs.

Whether you’re dealing with aging materials, patchwork repairs, or planning a new construction project, Mod-Bit roofing delivers long-term value, minimal maintenance, and proven resistance to Nebraska’s unpredictable weather.

What Is Modified Bitumen Roofing?

Modified bitumen roofing (also known as Mod-Bit) is a multi-ply roofing system made from asphalt reinforced with polymers like APP (Atactic Polypropylene) or SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene). It’s delivered in rolls and installed in layers—ideal for flat roof applications on commercial buildings.

There are two main types:

  • APP Membrane: Installed using a heat torch (torch-down method), offering high UV resistance but requiring expert handling due to fire risk.

  • SBS Membrane: Applied with cold adhesive, hot asphalt, or self-adhered sheets—safer and more flexible, especially for cold climates like Nebraska.

✅ At Pete’s Builders, we install both SBS and APP roofing systems, ensuring a perfect fit for your property’s needs, safety, and budget.

Why Choose Mod-Bit Roofing in Nebraska?

✔️ Engineered for Tough Weather

From Omaha hailstorms to Lincoln’s icy winters, modified bitumen holds up against:

  • Freeze/thaw cycles

  • Wind uplift

  • Standing water

  • UV degradation

✔️ Long-Term Durability

Mod-bit roofs last 20–30 years with proper installation and maintenance. They’re highly puncture-resistant and less prone to splitting compared to older built-up roofs.

✔️ Ideal for Repairs & Retrofits

Need to fix a roof section without a full replacement? Mod-Bit’s color and texture flexibility make it easy to match your existing roof—ideal for partial replacements and budget-conscious renovations.

APP vs. SBS Modified Bitumen: What’s Best for Your Building?

Feature APP Membrane SBS Membrane
Installation Method Torch-applied (heat welded) Cold-applied / self-adhered
Flexibility (in cold temps) Moderate High
Fire Risk Higher (requires licensed pro) Lower
Best For UV resistance, warm/dry climates Freeze/thaw performance, safer install

Recommendation: For most Lincoln & Omaha buildings, SBS-modified bitumen offers better flexibility, easier installation, and lower risk—perfect for Nebraska’s mixed climate.
