Roof Coating Pennsylvania

Roof coating is a process of applying a sealant to flat or low-pitch roofs, by which water and moisture can be effectively blocked from damaging or penetrating the roof of a structure. A correctly applied roof coating acts as a fully-adhered, uniform membrane that protects your roof. Most roof coatings are somewhat elastic in their composition, which allows it to flex and retain its original shaping, depending on many factors such as temperature, humidity, etc.

While any flat or low-pitch roof will benefit from roof coating, generally commercial flat roof structures take advantage of comprehensive roof coating. Contact us today to discuss your specific roof and we’re happy to review your options, depending on the type of material your roof is made of.

Roof coating is the most effective way to stop leaks from forming on commercial flat and low pitch roofs, hands down. While it is not a substitute for replacement of already leaky roofs, roof coating can dramatically prolong the lifespan of a roof and prevent water damage or leaks from ever forming as long as the seal coat is intact.

The great thing about roof coatings is that they create an impenetrable, sealed barrier that protects the upper layers of your roofing material from the harsh elements and sunlight of whatever climate your structure is situated. The correctly implemented roof coating substantially increases the waterproofing qualities of your roof from damaging UV rays and protects against sun damage, while also performing the double duty benefit of reflecting heat directly away from the surface of the roof, which makes for a much cooler structure on the inside — lessening the need for air conditioning in hotter months, which obviously leads to real dollars saved in utilities usage, and less greenhouse emissions.

While geography and climate play a role in the longevity of any exterior roofing implement such as roof coating, usually a roof life from a correctly applied roof coating can be prolonged by up to 10 years or possibly more. Your actual mileage may vary depending on coating type and other conditions, in addition to the roof coating film thickness.

Roof coatings are available in a number of material types, and it depends on your specific roof construction, location, exposure to elements and sun, and other factors that will determine which roof coating option is best for your commercial roof or residence. Silicone roof coating is a common application for most cases.

Naturally this depends largely on the size of the building. Roof coating is optimally applied on clean, healthy, and roofs that are uniformly intact. Basically this entails that the application of roof coating will include cleaning the roof surface, performing a comprehensive inspection, and performing any necessary repairs to adequately prepare the roof for coating. The process also demands that the roof be entirely dry at the time of roof coating application. Larger roofs entail a longer project time. Damaged roofs also require additional time added to a project timetable. Some roofing surfaces require a primer layer before the final roof coating can be applied, which adds time to the job.
