Roof coatings are a cost-effective way to protect and extend the life of your roof. These coatings are applied as a liquid, and when dry, form a protective barrier that can withstand harsh weather conditions and UV rays. While we all know the cost savings of using coatings (routinely 50% less than a new roof!)

Here are just a few lesser known benefits of using roof coatings on your commercial or industrial building.

1. Minimal Disruption: Bang! Bang! Bang! Replacing a commercial or industrial roof is loud and disruptive- potentially even fully exposing the interior of your space to the outside elements. Roof coatings are minimally invasive and with not disrupt operations.

2. Energy Efficiency: Many roof coatings are reflective, which can help to reduce the amount of heat absorbed by your roof. This can lead to lower cooling costs for your building. In fact, we had a business owner who had a perfectly functioning roof but called us to coat it to simply keep the building cool during the summer months.

3. Weather Protection: Roof coatings provide an extra layer of protection for your roof, helping it to withstand harsh weather conditions such as heavy rain, high winds, and even hail. There was once a situation where we coated an industrial roof and within 2 days there was a hail storm in the area. All their buildings received some amount of damage to their roof…except for the one that we had just coated.

4. Easy Maintenance: Roof coatings are easy to maintain, requiring only occasional cleaning to keep them in top condition. In fact, our maintenance plans could theoretically prevent you from ever needing a roof replacement if you stay on top of the maintenance. This is in contrast to traditional roofing materials that may require regular (costly) repairs and maintenance.

5. Environmentally Friendly: The roof coating products we use are industrial grade and non-toxic meaning they have less of an impact on the environment than traditional roofing materials. Additionally, extending the life of your roof through the use of coatings means less waste in landfills.

6. Variety of options: Our roof coatings work on flat roofs, metal roofs, EPDM, TPO, rock ballast, and more. In any case, we can evaluate the best option for your roof and even have a few price points with varying thickness and warranties to fit within most budgets.

Overall, roof coatings offer more than a financial benefit, but have a host of lesser known pros. If you’re experiencing even minor leaks, it we offer a free roof walk to inspect and audit the current condition of your roof and make the appropriate recommendation.
