When we got into the Commercial Roof Coatings space 9 years ago there were virtually no other commercial roofing companies in Omaha that offered coatings.
Now it seems like more and more industrial roofers are entering this space. While some may think this hurts us, we see this as an opportunity to help us in the following ways:
- Validating roof coatings and their viability
- Incentivization for increased innovation
- Increasing awareness of roof coatings
But here’s why we suspect more commercial roofing contractors in Omaha are getting in the coating space (and part of our original motivation for entering it originally):
Cost Effectiveness for Roofing Clients
In many cases, a roof coating is a suitable and effective solution for roof leaks that don’t require a complete replacement. Coatings can be properly layered on top of a roof to prolong the life and stop leaks for up to 20 years.
Versatility and Ease of Application
There are several types of roof coatings on the market today with increasing quality in the last few years. As such, there are roof coatings for every type of roofing surface including Metal, Flat, BUR, EPDM, Single Ply, and much more. (Pretty much everything except shingles). Additionally, it is significantly quicker turnaround time to apply roof coatings and requires no roofing permit!
Minimal Disruption
Unlike a roof replacement that is loud and disruptive, roof coating applications have minimal disruption and do not obstruct business operations. Additionally, since there’s no tear-off there won’t be much in the way of roofing disposal, debris, or mess.
Market Demand
This may be the biggest draw to the roof coatings industry because with more players entering the space, there’s an increased demand for all the reasons mentioned above. Furthermore, the advancement in roof coatings technology have made the product even better than it has been in year’s past.
Summary
It’s essential to note that the prevalence of commercial roofing companies offering coatings can vary depending on the region, local regulations, market demand, and the specific expertise of individual roofing companies. Before choosing a roofing company for a coating project, it’s always a good idea to research their experience, reputation, and the quality of their previous work.
