The roofing system of a building is one of its most valuable protective features. It’s the part of a structure that has the highest exposure to the elements and should undergo inspections and maintenance periodically. If your roof is in relatively good condition, but has vulnerable areas that can get worse with continued exposure, roof restoration could be a solution. Restoration is ideal for types of roofing like EPDM Roofing Systems and other materials such as modified bitumen, thermoplastic single-ply and metal.
Your roofing contractor can tell for sure what type of care is right for your roof with an inspection. Restoration materials are additional protective membranes that are completely cleaved to existing materials. Depending on how the membranes are expected to restore the roof, it can renew a system to last as long as a decade. Your roofing contractor gives you a selection of materials meant for the targeted roofing solution. You can get materials with other benefits like temperature resistance. These materials control outdoor temperatures exposed to roofs so less of it enters the building.
Whether it’s EPDM Roofing Systems are other materials, roof restoration has to have an existing surface substrate that is compatible with the new application. An inspection is an essential part of the procedure determining that. Restoration can only occur with a roof that doesn’t have extensive problems within the layers of materials. A roof with ingrained gravel is an example of one in a state that’s not suitable for coated materials. Contact Us for a Free Survey!
If your roofing system is beyond repair, re-roofing may be an alternative. You have complete replacement or retrofit to choose from. Complete replacement tears away the entire roofing system. Complete replacement is a large-scale procedure, but is offers a lasting solution. Your roof shouldn’t need any major work for years down the line after this is done. A complete tear off gives you the opportunity to get repairs done on the roof deck. There are a few qualifications that have to be met for retrofit. Materials should still be within the window of time for expected service life. No serious leaks. The roof deck must be able to withstand the added weight. Retrofit is an economical and lasting recovery solution as well.
