Roof Coatings

When roof replacements or re-covers are out of the question, a roof coating can be a viable option. Roof coatings eliminate replacement costs while still providing warranties of up to 10 years.

Benefits of a Roof Coating

Energy Efficiency

Adding a roof coating is one of the simplest ways to make a building more energy efficient. Reflective roof coatings reflect the sun's rays rather than absorbing them, keeping your building temperature cooler. Not only does this save a business money, which is important, but it can also help a company leave a smaller carbon footprint.

Affordability

Roof coatings are applied directly on top of your existing roof, speeding up installation time and reducing costs, as the systems are not as labor intensive as the installation of a new roof. A roof restoration system does not require the existing roof to be torn off, eliminating the contribution of landfill waste and costing you less.

Sustainability

Almost all roof coating systems are renewable and can be re-coated multiple times to not only preserve but also lengthen the service life of your roof, renew it's reflectivity, and ensure excellent waterproofing capabilities.

Hassle-Free Layering

Most building codes allow a maximum of two roof layers above the roof deck. A massive benefit of coatings is that they aren't recognized as a roofing system but rather a roof maintenance procedure. So, periodically coating your roof is a perfect way to add years to your roof without breaking code or adding a substantial weight-load to your building.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a commercial roof replacement and a roof recover/layover?

A commercial roof replacement involves completely removing the existing roof system and installing a new one, while a roof recover/layover involves installing a new roof system over the existing one without removing it.

How do I determine if my commercial roof needs a replacement or a roof recover/layover?

Several factors come into play when deciding between a roof replacement and a roof recover/layover. These include the condition of the existing roof, its age, the extent of damage, and local building codes. Our roofing experts can assess your roof and provide you with a professional recommendation.

Can a roof recover/layover be done on any type of commercial roof?

Roof recovers/layovers are possible on certain types of commercial roofs, such as single-ply or modified bitumen systems. However, not all roofs are suitable for this method, and it depends on factors like the condition and structural integrity of the existing roof. Our team can evaluate your specific roof to determine if a recover/layover is feasible.

What are the benefits of a commercial roof replacement?

A commercial roof replacement offers several advantages, including improved energy efficiency, enhanced durability, increased lifespan, and the opportunity to incorporate modern roofing materials and technologies. It also allows for a thorough inspection of the roof deck and underlying structure, ensuring any underlying issues are addressed.

Are there any advantages to choosing a roof recover/layover instead of a replacement?

Roof recovers/layovers can provide cost savings and shorter installation times compared to full replacements. They can be a viable option if the existing roof is in relatively good condition and can provide an additional layer of protection. However, it's essential to consider the long-term implications and consult with our professionals to determine the best course of action for your specific roof.

What kind of warranty is offered for commercial roof replacements and roof recovers/layovers?

At Economy Roofing, we offer comprehensive warranty options for both commercial roof replacements and roof recovers/layovers. The specific warranty coverage will depend on the type of roofing system and materials used but typically they range from 10-20 years. Our team will provide detailed information about the warranty terms and conditions associated with your specific project.

How long does it typically take to complete a commercial roof replacement or roof recover/layover?

The timeline for completing a commercial roof replacement or roof recover/layover can vary depending on several factors, including the size and complexity of the project, weather conditions, and material availability. Our experienced roofing team will provide you with an estimated timeline during the initial consultation. We strive to complete projects efficiently while ensuring the highest quality workmanship.
