why

METAL ROOFS

Metal Roofs seldom wears out.  They are simply damaged from lack of maintenance. Large commercial and industrial roofing experiences extreme thermal shock during the year from all of the hot and cold temperature change. Temperature change loosens the components of a metal roof. Weather erodes the thin protective finish, fasteners come loose, the rubber o-rings on the fasteners become brittle and deteriorated, and then they shrink leaving a void for water to penetrate inside the building. The final result is a leaky building and surface rust on the metal panels.
 

THE PROBLEM

  • Rust – Corrosion and rust occur when the protective coating or galvanization of the roof wears out and bare metal is exposed.
  • Flashing Leaks – A majority of metal roof leaks are caused by poor flashing design along penetrations.
  • Fastener Leaks – The neoprene washers under the screw heads dry out from the extreme UV light and deteriorate.  Once this happens they shrink leaving a void under the washer for water to leak inside the building.
  • Seam Leaks – If you have an older metal building constructed using panels with exposed fasteners and seams.
  • Failed Temporary Repairs – Many times we find tar, silicone, house paint, and many other strange items on a metal roof where someone has tried to repair the leaks.  These items don’t work because they don’t bond and flex with the metal roof. Tar has no elongation and silicone does not stick.
 

THE SOLUTION

METAL ROOF RESTORATION SYSTEM
  • SAVES ENERGY
  • SAVES MONEY
  • PREVENTS LEAKS 
  • EXTENDS THE LIFE OF YOUR ROOF
 
 

BENEFITS OF OUR METAL ROOF RESTORATION SYSTEM

  • Tax Deductions: You may qualify for up to a $1.80 per square foot tax deduction for having an energy efficient roof.
  • Energy Efficient: Our Metal Roof Restoration can cut your energy bills by as much as 50%
  • No Capitalization: Can be expensed in one year instead of being capitalized (in most cases).
  • ROI: Most building owners experience a 2 to 5-year payback for their Metal Roof Restoration in energy savings alone.
  • Affordable: The installed cost is 2-3 times less expensive than replacing the metal roof and the benefits for a Metal Roof Restoration far surpass replacing the metal roof.  If you choose to replace the metal roof completely you still have seams and fasteners that will leak and rust. 
  • Comfortable: Less radiant heat in the building increases the comfort of the building occupants, which leads to more productivity. Studies show an average of 12° lower inside temperatures.
  • Less HVAC Maintenance: Reduces wear and tear on your HVAC equipment since it runs less often.
  • Low Life Cycle Cost: Our Metal Roof Restoration has the lowest life cycle cost as compared to all other types of commercial roofing materials.
  • Strength: While lightweight, our coatings are very strong; since they are seamless the roof panels are bonded together and less likely to blow off in high wind situations.
  • Safe for Atmosphere: VOC Compliant - Contains no ozone depleting agents.  Metal Roof Coatings are Considered
    GREEN BUILDING PRODUCT
  • Sustainable: Provides a fully sustainable roofing system with a renewable warranty, allowing you to re-coat the roof rather than tearing it off; saving you money for years to come.
  • Seamless: Our Metal Roof Restoration is a seamless system. There are no seams or joints to allow water, heat or air to enter the building through the roofing system. Regardless of building size or shape there will be no seams.
  • No Fastener Leaks: Since our Metal Roof Restoration adheres tenaciously to the metal surface, the existing Fasteners will be encapsulated in sealant; therefore they won’t work loose, preventing roof leaks due to loose fasteners.
  • Lightweight: Our Metal Roof Restoration weighs approximately only 42 pounds per 100 square feet making it an excellent choice for your metal roof.
  • Versatile: Our Metal Roof Restoration can be used on new roofs as well as re-roofing projects. It can be used on surfaces whether they are flat, pitched, domed, metal, wood, concrete, etc. It is an ideal system to protect galvanized and Kynar coated roofs, tanks, coolers, piping, ductwork, freezers, containment pits, etc.
  • Flexible: Our Metal Roof Restoration has the ability to withstand the strain of normal expansion and contraction of a structure without affecting the ability to remain adhered and sealed, protecting the structure from outside elements.
  • Long Life: Metal Roof Restorations have been around since the early 1950’s some of which are still performing today. Metal Roof Restorations are renewable.  While other systems must be removed and replaced after their normal life expectancy (8-15 years), our restoration system only needs to be repaired and re-coated providing for many years of service. 
  • Maintenance: A Maintenance Agreement is available to our customers from 1-800-ROOF CARE. The National Roofing Contractors Association recommends that all roofs have annual or semi-annual inspections performed regardless of age or condition.
  • Ease of Application: Our Metal Roof Restoration can be installed in a relatively short period of time with no disruption of building operations. This allows you to continue business as usual with no revenue loss.
  • Lowers Surface Temperature: On a 95° day a typical galvanized metal roof, black rubber roof, tar & gravel, or a modified bitumen roof can reach up to 190° at the surface. Many times we have seen a white reflective coating maintain less than 95° on the surface, which was close to the  ambient  temperature outside. The white coating is highly reflective and has a very low emissivity preventing radiant heat build-up and helps lower energy costs to the building owner.
 

OUR GUARANTEE!!

If you can prove to us that replacing the metal roof will provide you the same 20 benefits as listed above, we will install your Metal Roof Restoration FREE OF CHARGE!

Simply put, replacing the metal roof will never outperform our Metal Roof Restoration System economically or physically; it is literally impossible.

WHAT IS A COOL ROOF?

Simply put, a Cool Roof is a light-colored commercial roofing system that reflects the sun’s heat (80-90% reflective) and damaging rays and readily emits any absorbed solar heat, thereby lowering the roof and building temperature and protecting the roof from sunlight degradation. The potential impact of installing a Cool Roofing System is impressive–-studies show reduced cooling energy demand in buildings by up to 50%. A Cool Roof commercial roofing system saves money, last longer with lower maintenance costs, help reduce power plant emissions, improve air quality, and cut landfill waste.
