As a building’s roof deteriorates over time, there are other options for extending the roof's service life compared to an expensive roof replacement.
Newer elastomeric roof coating technologies can extend the roof's performance life for another 10-15 years. Most roof coating systems are backed with a new 10-15 year material and labor warranty. Roof coatings are renewable and the warranty period can be extended well into the future
Applying an elastomeric roof coating to your roof is good for the environment. Waste materials from a roof replacement accounts for 15% to 20% of all landfill materials. Roof coatings reduce the need to replace the existing roof.
Roof coatings are energy savers and make your building more energy efficient, lowering your energy cost and reducing power demands on HVAC equipment. In some states and counties, roof coatings qualify for energy rebates. Roof coatings reduce heat build up and protect the roof from ultraviolet radiation, extending the life of the original roof.
Roof coating restorations are more cost effective compared to conventional re-roof systems. Coatings offer additional savings with tax write-offs. Roof coatings are counted as a maintenance item and can be written off 100% in the same year. Conventional re-roofs are written off over a period 39 years under current IRS guidelines.
Will a restoration coating work on your roof? The first step is to conduct an in-depth inspection and survey to determine if the existing roof system is a good candidate for a roof coating restoration. After the existing roof has been confirmed as an appropriate candidate, restoration specifications are prepared, detailing suitable coatings and application processes based on existing roof conditions.
To get the job done right, good specifications, contract documents and pre-qualified roofing contractors are just the beginning. Proper repair and preparation of the existing roof system is extremely important, and if needed on-site progress inspections to ensure proper application of the restoration product.
Corporate Roof Consultants can save you money in unnecessary roof replacements for built-up systems, single-ply systems and metal roofs by determining system eligibility, properly specifying appropriate materials and diligently inspecting the repairs, preparation and application of coating restoration systems.
