Roof Coating as an Alternative for a Roof Replacement
As a business owner, one of your priorities includes maintaining your building's integrity, including its roofing system. Over time, roofs weaken and become hazardous, making a roof replacement inevitable.
However, replacing roofs costs lots of money, especially for commercial buildings. To put things into perspective, know that for residential buildings, the average cost to install new roofs is $8,000. This price can go higher depending on the size of the roof, the quality of the material, labor, etc.
A roof replacement is an excellent investment. However, it is even more expensive because it disrupts business operations. While the new roofs are being installed, businesses cannot proceed as usual.
Fortunately, business owners have another option: roof coating.
Roof coating is the process of spraying or rolling polymer-based liquid coating solutions onto a building's roofs. Depending on the condition of the roof and the type of coating solution applied to it, this process prolongs a roof's life for up to 10-20 years.
Roof coating is becoming a popular roofing solution for business owners. By delaying the need for replacements, business owners have more time to prepare for the funding of a roof replacement. Roofs can also be coated without halting business operations.
The Additional Benefits of Roof Coating for Commercial Buildings
Roof coating provides a lot more benefits, including:
It makes roofs more weather-proof.
Roofs are directly exposed under the sun's heat, high winds, rain, and other elements. Depending on the type, roof coating makes roofs more water-resistant or waterproof and impact-resistant. The coating can keep rust, leaks, wrinkling, and other common roofing problems at bay.
It reduces energy expenses.
Roof coatings insulate, making the process of heat transfer slower. This then reduces the need for your HVAC units to work harder and longer.
It is more affordable than a replacement.
A roof coating service costs almost 70% cheaper than a professional roof replacement.
It reduces maintenance costs.
Roof coating patches up holes and cracks on the roof.
