Question:

Would you recommend tar and gravel or the new rubber membrane approach for someone needing to replace their flat roof?

Answer:

If the new rubber membrane is the 'torched on' product, I'm still very much afraid of it because of its history. I've never seen anything wrong with the built-up tar and gravel product.
