Roof Coatings And Services In El Paso
As homeowners, we expect our roofs to protect us from the elements, but did you know there is more it can be doing? When a high-quality roof coating is applied to your roof, it can actively fight against leaks while also helping you save money on your energy bills every month by preventing drafts and keeping your home cooler.
At Smith & Ramirez Roofing, we can help you benefit from all the things a roof coating offers including improving the quality of your roof. This way, you can save money and have a more durable roof.
Roof Coatings Vs. Liquid Applied Roof Systems
Roof coatings are made from high-quality materials such as silicone, polyurethane, acrylic, and asphalt, and are applied to roofs to extend their lifespans and levels of usefulness while better protecting them from the elements. They are more commonly applied during new roof installations and construction projects but can also be applied to existing foundations. Coatings work because they’re thick, thicker than paint, and are resilient in protecting your roof from issues that can cause severe damage. Roof coatings can be applied to both residential and commercial roofs to give your home or business an extra layer of protection.
Liquid applied roof systems are different from coatings because rather than just being an extra layer coated onto your roof, they’re an actual roof system applied via a liquid membrane. We specifically work with Hydro Stop liquid applied roofing systems. What’s great about a liquid applied roof is they’re a bit simpler to install. We don’t have tear off the old roof or use heavy equipment to get the job done. And the best part is you don’t have to worry about building closures as we do this. Life can go on as normal while we work.
A roof coating may be a good idea if your roof is still in pretty good shape but needs an extra layer of protection. A liquid applied roof system, on the other hand, can be a good replacement for roofs that are on their last legs since this is a full-fledged roof system. We will analyze the condition of your roof and the area it is located in to determine which would be best to add to your roof.
