  • What are roof coatings?

    Roof coatings are liquid-applied systems that create a continuous, waterproof layer over an existing roof. These coatings extend roof lifespan, enhance energy efficiency, and prevent leaks without the expense or disruption associated with a complete roof replacement.
  • Are roof coatings better than roof replacement?

    In many instances, roof coatings are indeed superior to replacement. While roofs with structural damage may require replacement, coatings offer a durable, high-performance alternative. They are more cost-effective, quicker to install, and often come with extensive warranties, making them an excellent choice for numerous commercial structures.
  • How is restoring a roof more cost-effective than replacing it?

    Roof restoration is more economical as it eliminates tear-off and disposal expenses, requires less labor and materials, and can often be completed more rapidly. Additionally, it's typically classified as a maintenance expense, which may offer tax advantages compared to a capital roof replacement.
  • What size projects can you handle?

    Our team is capable of managing commercial and industrial roofing projects of all sizes, ranging from 1,000 square feet to over 500,000 square feet. Whether it's a small retail space or a large industrial facility, we have the expertise to complete the job efficiently and safely.
  • Will my business need to shut down during the coating process?

    No, business closure is not necessary during the coating process. We apply roof coatings with minimal disruption using products with low odor and low volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Your operations can continue uninterrupted while we work on the roof.
  • How do you ensure a roof coating is a custom fit for each building?

    We begin with a comprehensive inspection to evaluate your roof's condition and unique characteristics. Based on this assessment, we develop a customized work plan and utilize coating systems that adapt to your roof's specific surface and configuration, ensuring complete protection.
  • Are roof coatings as durable as traditional roofing materials?

    Indeed, roof coatings are comparable in durability to traditional roofing materials. They are composed of high-performance substances such as silicone, acrylic, or polyurea, which are equally robust. The primary distinction lies in the application method, with coatings being applied as a liquid to form a flexible, seamless membrane capable of withstanding movement and extreme weather conditions.
  • How do roof coatings hold up in extreme weather?

    Roof coatings perform exceptionally well in severe weather conditions. They are engineered to expand and contract with temperature fluctuations, resist ultraviolet rays, and withstand heavy precipitation and strong winds. Many coating systems maintain their flexibility even in freezing or extremely hot conditions, providing reliable protection year-round.
  • Are roof coatings energy efficient?

    Roof coatings are indeed energy efficient. The majority are white and highly reflective, which reduces heat absorption and lowers cooling costs, especially during summer months. Many property owners experience a notable reduction in energy expenses following the installation of a reflective coating system.
  • What types of roofs can be coated?

    Roof coatings are versatile and can be applied to a wide range of commercial roof types. These include metal, modified bitumen, single-ply (such as TPO, EPDM, PVC), built-up roofs, and others. Provided the underlying structure is sound, most roofs can be effectively restored using a coating system.
