Roof Coating is a liquid-applied membrane applied over current roof materials to increase sealing and waterproofing and help reflect heat, making the roof more energy efficient.
Most homeowners immediately get a quote for full tear down and roof replacement without ever even hearing about alternatives. While roof replacement is often necessary and roof coating is not a fix for any roof problems, it can be an alternative in some situations. At Legacy Builders Co, we are not automatically going to suggest a costly replacement if it is not needed. Roof Coating can be a real and cost-effective fix for many roofs that are starting to wear or age.
Quick Quiz!
If 4 or 5 yeses, then you can probably get away with roof coating, whereas if you only answered yes to 1 or 2, then a full replacement is probably necessary.
In Fairfax, there are a lot of tall, older trees; because of this, the shade creates many inconsistent roofs with large sections of sun exposure and large sections of quality roof. Because of this style, Fairfax homes are a strong candidate for roof coating, as a simpler fix will be protecting the large areas not being protected from sun exposure.
Coatings can fail fast if they are applied over already damaged material. When a coating company applies the coating without first making corrections, it can cause further damage or unnecessary coating costs that won’t last. At Legacy, we make sure the roof is ready and prepped for properly applied coating, making sure that if we are going in this direction, it will be productive.
We can provide roof coating to many types of roofs such as standard metal roofs, flat or low sections, along with 70’s and 80’s style rubber roofs.
Coating is a temporary fix; if the coating should have been done 2 years earlier, we can still coat it, but it needs to happen as soon as possible. The longer you wait for coating, the more likely you are going to have to lean towards replacing your full roof.
