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.
Mary Hoffmann George was out to coat our flat roof. He was prompt and professional and the coating has held up as expected. He even came out quickly and fixed a leak (not coming from the roof). Will definitely use again! JP Harrison There is a reason why GM Contracting have so many 5 star reviews. It is because George and his Team are customer focused and do exceptional work. They were punctual and timely (done is 1.5 days), polite, professional and just very nice. My new roof covering looks great and adds tremendous value to my flat roofed home that I was unable to get anyone else to put a roof on. His foam product was the perfect solution. Jeannette DE STILO Phenomenal Job. George and the crew had quite a job on their hands! I waited 36 years to replace my roof. 90% percent of roof's deck boards needed replacement! As I own a Palm Harbor manufactured home that was built quite well an endless amount of roof staples needed pulling etc. The crew was courteous and did a fabulous job (and a great cleanup)! The price was quite reasonable and the roof looks as new. They arrived as promised every day on time. The job was done July of 2022. It weathered this summer 2023 quite well. Totally recommend them. Paul DeStilo Michael Muse Very pleasant to work with. Greg did any excellent job spreading the silicone coating. He even repaired a hole where the old swamp cooler had been. I had no idea that hole was there. When I needed some drywall installed, I texted and they came out the next day to give me an estimate. Great job on the drywall.
