Roof Repair
Is your leaky roof causing a major disruption?
If left unattended, roof leaks can cause damage to your building’s interior and even cause structural deterioration.
Built Up Roof Repair
Built up roofs (BUR) are dark colored roofs which can reach a scorching 180°F in the summer. They are made of tar or asphalt which dries out, becomes brittle and cracks. Leaks are difficult to find.

Concrete Roof Repair
Concrete roofs are porous and absorbs moisture. Moist concrete promotes rebar corrosion which causes structural damage. Uncoated concrete roofs absorb solar heat in the daytime & slowly release it at night.

Metal Roof Repair
Metal roofs do not have to be old and rusted to leak. A high pitched metal roof is just as prone to leak as a low sloped one. Roof patches and other temporary fixes can aggravate the leak.

Modified Bitumen Roof Repair
Modified Bitumen roofs need to be coated if noticeable granule loss occurs. Don’t wait until you see crazing, cracking or blistering. Ponding conditions accelerate defects.

Polyurethane Spray Foam Roof Repair
Polyurethane spray foam is not UV-resistant and starts deteriorating as soon as it is installed. Elastomeric coatings block harmful UV-rays and provides a seamless, watertight membrane.

Single Ply Roof Repair
Single ply roofs like Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM), Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO), Polyvinyl Choride (PVC) and Hypalon roofing become brittle over time.

Temporary Repairs that Don’t Work!
Even if you are not ready to have your roof coated, make sure the repairs you do to your roof are serviceable. Serviceable repairs don’t have to be removed when it’s time to recoat.
Aluminum and steel can’t come in contact with each other. If they do, and an electrolyte, such as water is introduced, it will corrode at an accelerated rate.
Tar or asphalt over metal is a disaster waiting to happen. As they dry out & become brittle, it aggravates the leak. Removal is almost impossible and makes coating preparation difficult.
Duct tapes should not be used on roofs! Removal is costly when it is time to coat your roof. When the tape starts peeling off, roof leaks get worse.
