What are Commercial Roof Coatings?

Many facility owners choose to restore their commercial roofs rather than replace them when the warranty comes to expire. This is a smart choice that can save them money, create energy savings and renew their warranty coverage.

The best way to find out if your facility is eligible for a roof coating, is to schedule for a contractor to evaluate your existing roof system. They will be able to recommend the best solution for your facility needs.
