Ballast Removal

Clean removal, ready for what's next

Ballasted roofs use loose stone or paver ballast to hold the membrane in place, and before any re-roof, recover, or inspection can happen, that ballast has to come off safely and completely.

We remove and dispose of aggregate ballast using mechanical scoop equipment where roof access allows, minimizing the manual labor and timeline of a full hand-removal.

Strong Contractors' Approach to Ballast Removal

Planned Before the First Scoop.

Ballast removal looks simple until you’re managing dust, disposal logistics, and roof loading on an occupied building. We plan the removal and disposal route before the first scoop, keeping the site clean and the schedule on track.

That planning is what keeps ballast removal a fast first step instead of a bottleneck on your project.

Mechanical Removal Equipment
We use scoop equipment to clear ballast faster and with less manual labor than hand removal.
Full Disposal Included
Aggregate is hauled and disposed of properly — nothing left behind on site.
Minimal Site Disruption
We plan removal routes and staging to keep occupied buildings running during the work.
Local Expertise
We coordinate ballast removal around Colorado weather windows and site access constraints.
