High Performance Cost Effective Solution for Flat and Low Slope Roofs
Fluid-Applied Elastomeric roof coatings on Metal, Rubber-EPDM, Modified Bitumen, TPO, Hypalon, and Asphalt
No Seams!! No Leaks!!
"Roofs are designed only to shed water, we make them waterproof"
Thermal bridging at Purlins on metal buildings
Most metal buildings have purlins that are spanned between beams. On top of these purlins insulation is laid then the roof pans are mechanically fastened through the insulation to the purlins.
This design flaw is clearly seen in the infrared image in yellow. The insulation is pinched to nearly nothing causing thermal bridging.
Notice the temperature of 112 degrees radiating into the conditioned air space with an 85 degree outside temperature.
White Elastomeric coatings applied on the roof surface have a solar reflectance of 0.85 meaning the roof is now reflecting nearly all the heat back into the atmosphere. Clearly the roof in the photo is not coated with Elastomeric. Photo taken by Infrared Wisconsin

Elastomeric Roofs are not just "White" anymore!
After winning 1st Place Contractors Award in CoatingsPro magazine for the baby blue Gothic barn roof, we coated this roof a Brilliant Blue and we think it looks amazing. Elastomeric coatings are much different than just painting the roof, we coat all the seams and fasteners with a thicker viscosity elastomeric and then we coat the entire roof with a base coat. After the base coat is dry we apply the top coat and it can be any color you dream up.

Elastomeric Coating on Flat Roof Systems
Aluma-R rubberized Elastomeric coating on a smooth 3-ply asphalt roof. We always check roof systems with infrared to determine if the insulation is wet before we apply coating over the membrane. Check out how reflective this Aluma-R coating is, you can see the blue sky and clouds on the roof surface.

Gardner Roof Coatings
Applies Elastomeric coatings on Metal roofs, EPDM (rubber roofs), Modified and TPO membranes.
No roof coating product is one size fits all, we take into account what the building is used for, type of substrate or membrane and slope of the roof.
We pay special attention to seams, curbs, penetrations and fastener heads where most roofs leak. Often times these areas receive 3 or 4 coats of Elastomeric to achieve a monolithic coating.
No Seams = No Leaks!
Roofs are designed only to shed water we make them water proof!

End of roof service life? Nope
This before and after photo of a metal roof and ridge near the end of it's service life shows what Gardner Roof Coatings can do. Yes this is the same roof.
Not only does the white coating reflect the heat off the roof making the buildings interior cooler it stops rust and best of all it makes your roof waterproof.

Agricultural Metal Roofs
Saving our Wisconsin heritage one barn at a time. Don't let your metal roofs leak and get rusty beyond repair. We can save them and make them beautiful once again. This Gothic style barn roof was coated Baby Blue. We can make your roof any color you can dream up.
Metal Roof R-Panel Preparation
About 90% of the work is in the preparation of the metal roof system prior to the Elastomeric coating being applied. First we tighten thousands of fasteners, then the entire roof must be pressure washed several times depending on the size and location of the roof.
All fasteners, Horizontal seams, Vertical seams and curbs are coated with a thicker viscosity elastomeric coating by hand then allowed to dry. Once this is completed we coat the entire roof surface with Elastomeric base coat then coat the roof again with the Elastomeric top coat at the specified mil thickness for the project. No Seams - No Leaks!

Although we are Certified elastomeric installers Gardner Roof Coatings is not affiliated with any one manufacturer, we review your roof system and select the best coating available to give you a long lasting high quality roof solution.
Whether your facility's roof is metal, mod bit or single ply we take all these factors into account before we propose the type of coating that's right for your building.
There are 3 main types of coatings, solvent based, acrylic (water based) and silicone.
Depending on what the building is used for is one of the deciding factors on the type of elastomeric coating we use.
Elastomeric white coatings are highly reflective but also come in a variety of colors and can be custom shaded.

Has time caught up with your roof?
Does your building have rusted panels, seam or fastener problems, cracks and leaks around penetrations? Let us give you a free inspection and a free photo report of your roofs condition. We still may be able to save it before it needs a complete replacement costing many thousands of dollars.
Self Flashing and Seamless
Fluid applied Elastomeric roof coatings are self flashing and seamless, they are designed for protecting and extending the service life of the roof assembly. Most of the work comes in the preparation of the substrate being coated. First we tighten every fastener then clean the entire roof surface with a pressure washer, coat every fastener with a thicker elastomeric coating and treat every seam.
All penetrations are coated by hand before the top coats are applied. Once all the prep work is completed we inspect the roof surface and start applying the base coat as per the manufacturer's mil thickness specification. After the base coat has dried we apply the top coat at an equal mil thickness for a seamless and waterproof roof system.

Maintenance and Warranty
Inspection of your new roof system is done on a yearly basis by Gardner Roof Coatings to maintain the seamless membrane. When properly maintained the roof coating will easily last 15 years.
If you wish to extend the warranty and additional 15 years we simply apply and additional layer of coating on top of the initial coating. This can be done over and over, essentially warranting your roof for the life of the building.
