Commercial Roof Coatings
Fluid-applied roofing membranes have been one of the fastest growing roofing systems in the United States and Europe over the last 20 years for a good reason. The coating cures to form a rubber-like elastomeric waterproof membrane that protects the roof substrate from excessive thermal expansion and contraction resulting in longer roof life and reflects 85% of the suns energy back into the atmosphere keeping the building cooler.
White reflective roof coatings not only cool the interior of your building resulting in lower energy costs, they also reduce the cost of maintenance.

Sample metal roof inspection report.
Every roof is thoroughly inspected and photographed before the proper type of coating is selected. This report is sent along with our proposal at no charge.

Rusted R-panels before coating. Every fastener is coated with a thicker elastomeric before base coat and top coat are applied.

Same roof after multiple penetrations were removed and patched. Elastomeric coating was then applied using two coats.

Rusted Roof Panels
Rusted roof with multiple unused penetrations causing leaks. After removing penetrations the roof was patched with like metal panels and coated giving this building owner a seamless watertight roof that will last for years.
Elastomeric coatings are easily coated again with little prep work saving the building owner even more money down the road. |
Expansion and Contraction
Roofing tar used on metal panels is a temporary fix due to the expansion and contraction rate of the panels. Elastomeric roof coating has an elongation of 500% while dry roofing tar has near 0%.
|
After cleaning the roofing tar off the metal panels as seen in photo to the left then coating it with elastomeric roof coating the panels become seamless and waterproof.
No seams No leaks |
The fastener above shows the expansion and contraction rate of this R-panel, this is why it is so important to use the correct coating on metal roof systems.

Infrared Thermography
We use Infrared Thermography when applicable. On flat roof assembly's we use it to find encapsulated moisture as is shown on the rubber roof to the left. Before roof coating can be applied, the wet insulation must be removed and replaced. On metal roof systems we use it to find wet insulation from the interior under the panels as shown on the right.

Fasteners
Each fastener is tightened and coated with a thicker viscosity elastomeric coating before the base and top elastomeric coatings are applied. When fasteners back out the panel seams open allowing for possible water infiltration. This is a common problem in metal roof systems.

Aerial Roof Inspections
Assessing Property Conditions Cheaper, Better and Faster
Aerial inspections are faster and minimize risk to the inspector. Drones provide high definition photo's and video's using the latest technology. Aerial surveys of the roof provide rapid assessment and problem area identification from the ground. Drone imagery is a real game changer for infrared roof inspections. Drone technology can provide critical information fast and better than ever before.
