Did you know that the majority of white roof coatings in use today are water-based (usually called latex coatings)? The water in the coating serves as a liquid carrier, enabling the pigment and binder to be easily spread on the roof surface.
Each of our roof-maintenance programs includes regular periodic inspection of the entire roofing system, including flashings, drains or gutters, masonry, and the roof's surface. The purpose of this is to identify and isolate potential problems before they become roof damage and failure.
Care to guess the average useful life of an asphalt shingle roof? If you guessed 20 years or so, you're right. Asphalt shingle is the most common roofing material currently in use across the U.S.
Don’t have a place to fit a window? You can still enjoy all the benefits of natural daylight with Solatube technology, bringing daylight right through your roof. This works great everywhere from interior rooms to corridors and hallways.
The cost of roofing materials can vary depending on the type you are looking for. The roofing materials that tend to be on the lower end of the price scale include asphalt shingle, composition shingle, and rolled roofing.
Do you ever worry that a fire that starts in your home will reach the roof and spread faster than the fire department can control? Since metal roofing materials aren’t combustible, you may find that your roof can actually help slow the spread of fire.
Some commercial roof monitoring systems provide edge detection, so that maintenance workers, outside parties and commercial roofing crews are kept safely away from your building’s edge. This is an insurance plus.
While the Solatube system isn't as hard to put in as a normal skylight, you'd certainly want someone who knows what they're doing to take on the task. After all, holes will need to be cut into parts of your home so only experienced workers should handle the job.
Metal roofs have a Class A fire rating, which means they’re the most resistant type of material to use on your roof. If you use a material with a lower rating, like cedar or some types of asphalt, you’re running a far greater risk of fire.
