  • Do you offer residential services?

    No, we only offer commercial roofing services.

    No! We never use subcontractors.

  • How long does a silicone roof coating last?

    Silicone roof coatings have a slow deterioration rate from sun exposure, often lasting over 20 years before a recoat is necessary. The coating's thickness affects the warranty duration, which can be offered in options of 10, 15, or 20 years.

  • What are the benefits of silicone roof coatings?

    • Protection against water-related harm  
    • Minimize the effects of sunlight  
    • Endure extended contact with surface water  
    • Prolong the lifespan of an existing roofing system  
    • Offer a more cost-effective solution than a complete roof replacement  
    • Allow for multiple applications  
    • Reflect ultraviolet rays, contributing to cooler building temperatures  
    • Once applied, it forms a seamless membrane, unlike other systems that typically develop leaks over time
  • My roof doesn't drain well, can the silicone roof withstand ponding water?

    While it's important to clear ponding water, the silicone roofing system is designed to withstand deterioration over time, unlike other roofing options.

  • Does this work well on metal roofs?

    Yes, it works exceptionally well on metal roofs. Over time, metal roofs experience expansion and contraction due to temperature fluctuations, which can cause fastener holes to elongate and seams to open, leading to leaks. The silicone roof system addresses this issue by reflecting UV rays, preventing these problems from occurring. By applying a seamless silicone system over the metal roof, you effectively transform the metal surface into a protective substrate, eliminating the primary causes of metal roof failure. Instead of opting for a costly new metal roof, this solution provides an effective and long-lasting fix to your roofing concerns. Additionally, polyurethane foam can be applied if additional insulation is needed.

  • Can you walk on the roof after it is completed or do you need "walkway protectors"?

    The foam boasts a compressive strength of approximately 45 psi, allowing the roof to endure regular foot traffic. It is advisable to use protective pads around rooftop units that are frequently serviced.

  • Can we install solar panels over this roof system?

    Absolutely. Solar panels can indeed be set up on top of this system, along with silicone applied over the current roofing structure.

  • My roof doesn't have enough roof slope. Can the polyurethane foam help eliminate my standing water problem?

    One of the main advantages of polyurethane foam is its versatility in application. Unlike traditional board insulation, which requires assembling individual pieces like a puzzle and can be challenging in low areas, polyurethane foam can be sprayed at varying thicknesses and adjusted to match any slope. This flexibility makes it ideal for a wide range of situations.

  • What are the biggest benefits of the polyurethane foam roof system?

    Apart from damage, most roofing systems tend to develop leaks at the seams as they gradually open up over time. However, with a polyurethane foam roofing system, there are no seams around walls, units, drains, or any other roof protrusions. You can visualize your polyurethane foam roof as a bathtub, where water only flows down the drains or into the gutter systems. Additionally, this roofing material features closed-cell insulation. In contrast, single-ply and modified bitumen roofs can have their insulation exposed, which allows them to become wet and absorb water. Closed-cell insulation, on the other hand, prevents water absorption, effectively keeping moisture from infiltrating your building.
