We specialize in coatings and carry a variety of roofing materials.

The end result for our customers and friends is a reliable, certified roof they can depend on. I know in my heart that we distribute the highest quality, most energy-efficient roofing material available.

FAQs

IS THE COST OF APPLYING A REFLECTIVE ROOF COATING A SOUND INVESTMENT?

Yes, applying a reflective roof coating is an excellent investment. * If the installation costs for a reflective roof coating (which vary) are slightly higher in certain situations, the long-term benefits can easily offer an attractive return on the installation investment, by providing: •A reflective coating extends roof life. Better durability coatings protect the roof substrate from destructive UV rays which degrade the surface over time. •Reduced maintenance costs over the life of the roof • Coatings also serve as a water-resistant barrier • Our products extend the life of your roof and open up room in your budget.

DOES A REFLECTIVE ROOF COATING REDUCE INSTALLATION RISKS?

•Installing a reflective roof coating requires minimal disruption to the occupants, business operations during application, construction process, saving money in areas other than the roofing materials and application itself. •A more desirable and comfortable work environment inside the building

ARE THERE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENERGY CREDITS, TAX SAVINGS AND REBATES WITH REFLECTIVE ROOF COATING SYSTEMS?

There are huge tax benefits for some building owners. Coatings are considered “restoration" and not a new roof system installation. Therefore, they may usually be expensed in the fiscal year during which they are applied instead of amortizing the cost over the life of the roof (as in a new membrane installation). Check with your CPA or CFO to properly apply this information to your own roof situation.

IS A SPECIAL CONTRACTOR REQUIRED TO INSTALL A REFLECTIVE ROOF COATING?

To get the best performance and savings, an experienced roofing contractor should apply the reflective roof coating. Although the coating may look like ordinary architectural coating, successful application and long-term performance requires proper preparation, repair of leaks or damaged areas, and ultimately proper selection of the correct primer and coating system.

HOW DOES A REFLECTIVE ROOF COATING MAKE A ROOF COOL?

Nearly any roof can be converted into a "cool" roof by applying a reflective roof coating. This can be achieved at any time during the life of the existing roof. These coatings can be applied to new and existing. dark-colored roofs. A reflective roof is defined by ENERGY STAR® as one that has properties of at least 65% reflectivity and 50% emissivity after 3-year aging. It reflects solar energy back into space, so the roof surface remains cooler. A "black" roof becomes incredibly hot in the summer, transferring the heat to the inside of the building. The installation of a reflective coating not only reduces the surface temperature and heat transfer into the structure, but it also acts as the first line of defense against water penetration.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING A REFLECTIVE ROOF COATING?

Architects and roof consultants can specify a simple, green, sustainable solution that saves building owners and facility managers money, eases installation for contractors, and can meet, satisfy, or contribute to Title 24, LEED, and other green rating system requirements. Because the reflective roof coating cools and protects the roof surface, it •Reduces the temperature inside the building it covers by 6-9 degrees •Reduces the roof surface temperature by up to 50% •Increases the effective "R" value of insulation •Increases the efficiency of roof-mounted HVAC units •Saves on the cost of air conditioning the building •Results in lower overall energy costs to the building owner by reducing the peak electrical demand level •Creates a more comfortable environment in areas where there is no air conditioning •Slows premature aging of a roof due to high surface temperatures and UV degradation •Results in reduced overall roof life-cycle costs •Reduces respiratory health risks and the risk of heat-related deaths, especially in a heat island, an urbanized area with higher temperatures than outlying areas. •Offers your clients a cost-effective method of meeting their roofing needs and it's environmentally friendly ("green")
