Frequently Asked Questions

Roof restoration offers several benefits compared to replacement. It's typically more cost-effective, less disruptive, and quicker to complete. Restoration extends the life of your existing roof, is environmentally friendly due to less waste, and can improve energy efficiency with reflective coatings. However, restoration is most effective when the underlying roof structure is sound. In cases where the roof is extensively damaged, replacement might be the better option.

The regional weather patterns, including heavy snow, high winds, and seasonal temperature variations, can cause wear and tear. Regular maintenance helps in addressing these challenges.

Commercial Roof Coatings

 Commercial roof coatings are specialized coatings applied to the roofs of commercial buildings to protect and extend the life of the roofing material beneath. These coatings can provide a waterproof layer, reflect sunlight to reduce cooling costs, and improve the overall durability of the roof against weather, UV rays, and mechanical damage.

There are several types of commercial roof coatings available, each with its own set of benefits and ideal applications. Common types include acrylic coatings, silicone coatings, polyurethane coatings, and elastomeric coatings. The choice of coating depends on the existing roof material, climate, and specific needs of the building, such as energy efficiency or chemical resistance.

Yes, roof coatings can significantly reduce energy costs, especially in buildings located in warmer climates. Reflective coatings, often white or light-colored, can reflect a significant portion of the sun's rays, reducing the amount of heat absorbed by the building. This can lead to lower interior temperatures and reduced demand on air conditioning systems, resulting in energy savings.

While roof coatings can be applied to a wide range of roof types, including metal, asphalt, composite, and modified bitumen roofs, the suitability and preparation required may vary. It's essential to assess the condition of the existing roof, perform any needed repairs, and clean the surface thoroughly before applying a coating. Some roof materials may require a specific type of coating or additional preparation to ensure proper adhesion and performance.

Yes, commercial roof coatings can often be applied over existing roofing systems, making them an excellent option for roof restoration and extending the life of the roof without the need for a complete tear-off and replacement. However, the existing roof must be in relatively good condition, properly cleaned, and prepared to ensure the best adhesion and performance of the coating. It's also crucial to address any repairs, such as fixing leaks, ponding water areas, and reinforcing seams, before applying the coating.

Commercial Roof Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for commercial roofs to ensure their longevity, prevent leaks, and avoid costly repairs or replacements. Routine inspections and maintenance can identify and address minor issues before they become significant problems, ensuring the roof continues to provide adequate protection against weather, UV rays, and other environmental factors.

It is recommended that commercial roofs be inspected at least twice a year, ideally in the spring and fall, to assess any damage from the winter or summer seasons. Additionally, inspections should be conducted after any severe weather events, such as heavy rainstorms, high winds, or hail, to check for immediate damage.

A typical commercial roof maintenance plan includes:

  • Inspection: Checking the roof's surface, flashing, drains, and penetrations for signs of wear, damage, or blockage.
  • Cleaning: Removing debris, dirt, and other materials that can accumulate on the roof and cause water to pool or degrade the roofing material.
  • Repair: Addressing any issues found during the inspection, such as patching leaks, resealing around units and penetrations, and fixing damaged flashing.
  • Documentation: Keeping detailed records of inspections, maintenance activities, and repairs to monitor the roof's condition over time.

Common signs that a commercial roof may need maintenance include:

  • Visible leaks or water stains on the ceiling or walls.
  • Ponding water on the roof surface after rain.
  • Blisters, cracks, or tears in the roofing material.
  • Damaged or loose flashing around roof penetrations, vents, and edges.
  • Blocked or overflowing gutters and downspouts.

Yes, the life of a commercial roof can be significantly extended through regular maintenance. By addressing minor issues promptly, preventing water intrusion, and protecting the roof from environmental damage, maintenance can prolong the roof's functional lifespan and delay the need for a full replacement. This proactive approach is cost-effective, as it helps avoid extensive damage and costly emergency repairs.
