THE GM CONTRACTING DIFFERENCE
Roof coating is crucial to roof integrity. Not coating a roof will lead to vulnerabilities, including water infiltration, leaks, and structural damage due to diminished protection. UV rays and weathering will further degrade the roof, causing cracks and blisters. This will cause damage to the house, and force a replacement of the roof.
Periodically recoating a roof offers great benefits. It acts as a protective barrier against water, UV rays, and weathering, extending the roof’s lifespan and preventing leaks and damage. Reflective coatings lower the roof’s temperature, significantly reducing cooling expenses. Roof recoating ensures durability, resulting in long-term savings.
Roof recoating materials are specially formulated coatings designed to protect and extend the life of your roof. They come in various types, such as acrylic, silicone, and polyurethane, each offering unique properties and benefits for different roof materials and conditions. We do not offer asphalt-based coating because they are a bad fit for the Arizona climate.
Polyurethane roof coatings offer great durability and chemical resistance. They provide a strong, waterproof barrier and adhere well.
Silicone roof coatings are known for their exceptional rain resistance and UV stability. Their flexibility allows them to withstand large temperature ranges.
Acrylic forms a seamless, reflective layer, helping to reduce the roof's surface temperature and lower cooling costs. Acrylic is also water resistant.
This initial step involves thoroughly cleaning the roof surface, removing debris, dirt, and any loose materials, and conducting a detailed inspection.
The roof coating is applied following manufacturer's guidelines. The material is evenly spread across the roof surface to create a secure, safe barrier.
After the coating is applied, it needs time to dry and cure properly. This step ensures that the coating adheres correctly to the surface and seals.
We inspect the work for any mistakes. We clean the work area by removing equipment, and ensuring no debris or leftover materials are left behind.
