Your commercial building probably represents a sizable portion of your portfolio. To ensure that building is well protected, your roof must be always maintained in prime condition.
Not all commercial roofs are flat, but those that are have many options for keeping them in peak condition. One of the most cost-effective is a flat roof restoration from Yoder’s Roofing.
What is a Flat Roof Restoration?
A flat roof restoration is the application of a coating onto the surface of your existing roofing system. This coating serves as an additional layer of protection for your roof and your building overall.
A restoration can be performed on almost any existing roofing system, assuming the structure is in adequate condition. To confirm if your roof qualifies for a restoration call our experts and schedule a consultation.
Yoder’s Roofing proudly offers restoration services for the following roof systems:
- TPO
- PVC
- EPDM
- Mod Bit
- Fabric Reinforced
How does a Roof Restoration Work?
First, the existing system is repaired if necessary to a level sufficient for the restoration to adhere. The surface is then cleaned of dirt, debris, and any potential contaminants.
Once fully prepared, a liquid coating is either rolled or sprayed across the entire roofing structure. This includes areas like flashing, protrusions (think A/C units, vents, and so on), and every possible square inch of roofing surface.
As a liquid, the coating material seeps into invisible cracks, crevices, or imperfections. The liquid then dries into a solid membrane, totally sealing these areas of potential leak development.
The seamless, monolithic nature of a roof coating is what gives it the power to totally restore your roof. No seams – no leaks.
There are different coating materials to select from, depending on the type of business housed and your long-term goals.
One of the most exciting is a highly reflective acrylic coating. These coatings have been shown to reflect up to 85% of solar heat away from your building. This not only increases the interior comfort but can save you up to 50% on your cooling costs.
Benefits of a Flat Roof Restoration
Though we have already touched on just a few benefits, there are many others to consider:
- Cost effective. Significantly less expensive than never-ending repairs or full tear-off and replacement, a restoration can save you thousands on installation alone.
- Energy efficient. Not only does your building stay more comfortable, but utility bills will also be reduced. Some utility companies even offer a rebate or incentive for this service.
- Environmentally supportive. Your reduced demand, particularly for electricity, reduces demand. This allows electric companies to produce less, reducing their emission of greenhouse gases.
- Renewable. Coatings are 100% renewable, allowing that the base structure remains sound. This is easily accomplished with a good maintenance program. Fortunately, we offer that service as well. Conklin offers non-prorated warranties up to 20 years on select coatings. These warranties are also renewable with each system re-application.
- Time efficient. A restoration project is a comparatively quick service. Unlike significant repairs or a full replacement, there is no impact on your business hours or services.
