There are several reasons why roof restoration is not only the BEST CHOICE but should be the ONLY CHOICE. These systems provide cost savings, lengthen roof life, excellent waterproofing, durability, strength, reflectivity, energy efficiency and more! They are environmentally friendly and sustainable, meaning the AcryPly® Roof Restoration Systems can be renewed, allowing you to avoid a costly and timely traditional roof tear-off indefinitely. 

Here are the Benefits:

• Excellent Waterproofing
  • Roof failures and leaks are the number one reason a person replaces their roof. Using the AcryPly Roof Restoration System you receive a custom installed, seamless roofing membrane that is spray applied directly on top of your existing roof, coating and sealing all the different elements your particular roof possesses - equipment, hatches, pipes, skylights, penetrations, etc.. in a single, monolithic membrane that can expand and contract with temperature changes without splitting, ripping, tearing or cracking at seams (since there are none!). You receive a roofing system that providing excellent waterproofing that has been proven over 33 years and has been installed on hundreds of millions of square feet of commercial buildings!

• Cost Savings
  • Roof restoration systems avoid costly roof replacement. This means shorter installation phases, no landfill fee's, and businesses can remain open, conducting business as usual since theses systems are non-disruptive (spray applied, no drilling, nailing, seam-welding, or harsh odors).
  • These systems reduce roof maintenance, with superior UV protection, the roof coatings protect your rooftop from the harsh and damaging UV rays from the sun. Most people do not realize, but the sun is your rooftops worse enemy, causing the most degradation and damage. Therefore, it is vital to have an excellent UV protectant! 
  • Roof life is lengthen - with reduced roof maintenance and added UV protection, you save money as your roof lasts longer.
  • The ability to protect the roof from the sun, also allows you to save on your energy consumption. Energy cooling consumption is drastically reduced in the building as the top coats provide a "Cool Roof" substrate, reflecting the majority of the sun's heat away from the building, keeping the indoor ambient temperature cooler without using an air-conditioning unit. Many customers are pretty impressed with the results. "After the National Coatings' Cool Roof was installed we definitely noticed a difference in building temperature. It's not a marginal difference, either. It is between 15-20 degrees cooler inside the warehouse and store." - Jerry Moore, Facilities Director at Harbor Freight Tools

When it comes to low slope or flat roof repair there are several options you can choose from ranging from patchwork to total roof replacement.  Roof coatings systems fall somewhere in the middle of those two spectrums for both cost and time but provide you with a fully restored, brand new, leak-free roof substrate that extends the lifespan of your roof while lowering roof maintenance costs.

Roof replacement is ideal when you have exhausted all other roofing options. Often times, you can avoid a roof replacement by installing a roof restoration system directly on top of your failing or leaking roof. For obvious reasons such as lengthy tear-off and installation phases, costly roof replacement stages, business closures and landfill waste and fee’s, roof replacement should be a last resort option. Always contact a roof coating professional to get a second opinion to determine if your roof can be restored – more than often, it can be!

Roof restoration systems are 50-70% cheaper than a roof replacement and provide a durable and superior option for flat roof repair. These systems allow your business to function as normal with minimal disruption during installation, they can be applied over roofs with one or two previous roofs installed – building codes prohibit the installation of a third roof to be installed on a building due to weight-bearing limitations; however, a roof coating system does not apply to this code and can allow you to restore your existing roof without a tear-off.  Roof restoration systems are spray applied providing a seamless, monolithic substrate that fully coats and covers your specific roof with all of its unique curves, pipes, equipment and other characteristics.
