What propane do tar kettle roofing crews use?
Most commercial built-up roofing (BUR), hot-mop, and modified bitumen jobs run on 100 lb propane cylinders connected to a propane-fired tar kettle (Garlock, Cardinal, Sun-Master, or similar). A typical commercial flat-roof crew burns 2–6 cylinders per day depending on kettle size, asphalt or coal tar bitumen draw, and job acreage.
For smaller jobs or torch-down only (no kettle), crews sometimes run 40 lb or 33 lb cylinders. We refill all three sizes.
Why do roofing contractors refill instead of exchange?
Exchange cages don't handle 100 lb cylinders — those have to be refilled. Even for the smaller cylinders, a roofing crew running 4–6 tanks per job is a different economic profile than a backyard BBQ. The 25% partial-fill gap that exchange cages quietly take on every 20 lb tank scales into real money fast when you're filling 4–6 cylinders per day across multiple crews.
A refill bills only for propane delivered. The longer the season, the bigger the savings.
Can I run a fleet refill routine?
Yes. Many South Florida roofing companies use us as their go-to propane source during active job seasons (which in South Florida is most of the year). Call (954) 966-1763 to discuss your typical volume, crew schedule, and what makes sense for a fleet refill arrangement.
What about cylinder safety and recertification for roofing work?
Roofing cylinders take a beating: hot job sites, repeated transport, exposure to weather. We inspect every cylinder before refilling. Cylinders that fail inspection (rust, valve damage, expired DOT date) can usually be recertified or replaced so the crew stays compliant.
Where in South Florida do you serve roofing contractors?
From Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, Miramar, Davie, Cooper City, Fort Lauderdale, Aventura, Miami Beach, Miami, Doral, Hialeah, and the broader Broward + Miami-Dade commercial roofing market. Crews regularly drive 20–45 minutes to refill at our station — the savings vs exchange make it worth the trip on multi-cylinder volume.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you refill propane for tar kettle and built-up roofing jobs?
Yes. We refill the 100 lb cylinders used on tar kettles, hot-mop rigs, and modified bitumen jobs. We also handle 33 lb and 40 lb cylinders for smaller jobs.
Can you handle multiple cylinders for a single job?
Yes. Roofing crews regularly refill 4–6 cylinders at once. Bring everything you need filled — we can handle the volume.
Do you offer fleet pricing for roofing companies?
Call (954) 966-1763 to discuss your typical job volume. We can talk through what makes sense for a recurring commercial roofing operation.
How far in advance should I refill before a roofing job?
Refill the day before crew start, not the morning of. If a cylinder fails safety inspection (expired stamp or valve issue), you have buffer time to recertify or swap.
Can I refill a 100 lb cylinder that exchange cages won't take?
Yes. 100 lb cylinders almost never qualify for exchange — they have to be refilled at a licensed station like ours. As long as the cylinder is in safe condition, we can fill it.
What's the difference between vapor and liquid withdrawal for tar kettles?
Tar kettles run on vapor withdrawal — propane vaporizes inside the cylinder and exits through the regulator. Standard cylinders work for this. Liquid withdrawal (different valve, different cylinders) is used for forklifts and some industrial applications.
Do you serve commercial roofing companies in Broward and Miami-Dade?
Yes. Crews from across South Florida refill at our Hollywood, FL station — Broward, Miami-Dade, and parts of Palm Beach commercial roofers.
