How it works

What to expect, step by step

  1. 01

    Inspect

    We check seams, drains, slope, penetrations and signs of trapped moisture.

  2. 02

    Written options

    Repair, coating and replacement are compared based on what we find.

  3. 03

    Prepare the surface

    Old material is removed or the substrate is cleaned and repaired as the scope requires.

  4. 04

    Install the system

    Membrane or coating is installed with detailed drains, edges and penetrations.

  5. 05

    Walk-through

    We review drainage and details with you and clean up the site.

Estimate

What affects the estimate

We do not post price ranges because they would not be honest without seeing your roof. These are the things that move the number for this kind of work:

  • Existing system and how many layers are on the roof
  • Wetness in insulation, which a moisture check can reveal
  • Slope, ponding and drain or scupper condition
  • Number of penetrations, curbs and parapet details
  • Whether a coating, overlay or full replacement is appropriate

Silicone Coating: common questions

Will a coating stop my leaks?

It can bridge small cracks and seams. It cannot fix wet insulation or failed drainage, so we check first.

Does it avoid a tear-off?

When the roof is suitable, yes. Otherwise replacement is the honest answer.
