Roof Coating
Our elastomeric roof coatings create reflective surfaces that extend roof lifespans by 1525 years. These UV-resistant solutions reduce energy costs while preventing leaks and weather damage. Applied by certified technicians, this service includes comprehensive warranties lasting 35 years, with recoating maintenance extending system longevity.
Polymembrane Installation
The cold roof layover system encapsulates poly membrane between resin layers, forming a monolithic seal impervious to ponding water. This solution provides minimum 20-year service life when maintained with elastomeric recoating, offering commercial and residential properties reliable leak protection and structural integrity.
Recoating
Scheduled recoating every 5 years maintains coating effectiveness and warranty validity. Our technicians assess existing systems, apply new elastomeric layers, and address wear areas. This preventive maintenance extends service life while preserving energy efficiency benefits, ensuring continued protection against Arizona's extreme heat.
Cold Roof Systems
Designed for flat roofs, these systems combine proprietary coatings with advanced materials to reflect 85% of solar radiation. By reducing roof temperatures up to 50F, they decrease cooling costs while preventing thermal expansion damage, making them ideal for Arizona's climate conditions.
Roof Restoration
We specialize in restoring aging roof systems through comprehensive coating applications and membrane repairs. Our process eliminates weak spots caused by sun damage, improves structural integrity, and restores energy efficiency. This cost-effective alternative to full replacement maintains building protection while extending roof service life significantly.
