Why Roof Coatings?

When installed properly using the correct materials for the substrate, slope and conditions, roof coatings can significantly extend the life of your roof. Many manufacturers offer up to 20-year NDLs (No Dollar Limit Warranties) and 20-year leak free warrantees. 

There are many types of roof coatings and manufacturers, in fact there are literally thousands of combinations. Take an acrylic system for example, one manufacturer may have 40% solids, 55% solids and 70% solids material. Additionally, one or more of these products may be an acrylic hybrid system with either silicone or urethane. The options are literally endless, but which system is right for you? We are here to help you navigate the ever-changing market and technologies.

The list of different polymers is growing every day!

At the time of this publication, we have found 67 regional to national sized manufacturers. We are continually educating ourselves to find the very best polymers and manufacturers to service our customers. 

There are literally thousands of combinations to choose from between different polymers and manufacturers, but it gets much worse.

What type of substrate do you have? 

BUR (Smooth or Gravel)

Modified Bitumen

Single Ply (TPO, PVC, EPDM, Hypalon)

Metal

Is it a flat roof or pitched? 

Roof Conditions?

Does your roof see a lot of traffic? Is it susceptible to chemicals or oils and animal fats? How much equipment is on your roof? These factors and more will determine which materials are best for your roof.

Atmospheric Conditions?

Is your building located in a hot dry climate like Arizona? or humid and hot like Florida? How much annual rainfall do you see? Less than 5" per year like Las Vegas or over 63" per year like New Orleans? Snow, sunlight (UV), wind, hail and so on are all factors in making a proper selection.

We have done all the work of educating our team on the best polymers and manufacturers, so you don't have to. Give us an opportunity to show you why we are different.
