Apply a Roof Coating & Achieve a Cool Roof

After high heat, UV rays are incredibly damaging to roofs. UV radiation can break down your roofing materials, leading to issues like cracking and splintering of your shingles. While your roof does a good job withstanding the harmful effects of the sun, over time it will begin to break down. By applying a protective coating on your roof, you can further help your roofing materials withstand the sun’s damaging rays.
Roof coatings are particularly important for flat roof systems. Because a flat roof has little to no slope, they take the full force of the heat and sun all day long. There are specialized roof coatings for flat roofs which are designed to help combat both heat and UV rays. When properly applied and maintained, roof coatings have the potential to significantly extend the life span of your roof.
For example, Elastomeric is a very popular roof coating in Arizona as it can reflect the sun’s UV rays, which can help improve the overall energy efficiency of your entire building. Similarly, silicon provides excellent UV protection and can help you achieve what is called a “cool roof” because of its white, reflective color.
Never Skip Your Routine Maintenance!

 

      Keeping your roof well-maintained is vital to protecting it from the summer heat and sun. Regular roof inspections can alert you to any worn-out or degraded roofing materials so that you can repair and replace them before the sun and heat can do any more damage.

Springtime is an excellent time to schedule your roof maintenance. Not only does this allow you to repair any damage caused by winter storms and cold snaps, but it also helps you prepare your roof for the summer. Our roof inspectors are incredibly thorough and will help you with both immediate repair issues and preventative maintenance measures.

Tile Roofing

Our roof experts at Done Right Roofing take every step to create beautiful, durable roofing systems for our clients. Tile roofs are among the most aesthetically beautiful types of pitched roofing systems. They do, however, require special installation and maintenance. Why is tile the most popular roofing product in the world? It has durability beyond compare, energy cost savings, and protection like no other roofing material. With over a century of proper field performance in other parts of the world, Tiles provide the longest track record of performance compared to other roofing materials such as asphalt shingles. It requires some maintenance, but even if it needs to be removed occasionally so the roof underneath can be restored, the same tile can be placed on the roof again, having a lifespan of five to six decades.
