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!

Mice & Rats

Mice and rats are a never-ending threat for homeowners. They have powerful senses of smell and are attracted to even the faintest whiffs of food. They’ll chew their way into just about anything to get it, and they spread like crazy. Mice and rats are also both known for creating their nests in your walls and in the rafters above your home, which makes them a threat to the condition of your roof. They’ll also chew on other things like PVC pipe and electrical cabling, which can cause all sorts of other damage.

Birds

Birds may be able to soar through the sky, but that doesn’t mean they can stay aloft forever. They have to land eventually and when they do they’re known for causing damage. Birds have been known to build nests in the eaves or tight spaces on rooftops, which can damage your roof’s surface or break the materials. Some birds also are known to find food in the form of something like a nut and then drop it on a hard surface in order to crack it open. This may not seem like much, but the truth is that this pecking and jabbing can cause damage, especially to softer flat roof surfaces like what you’ll find on a lot of commercial building structures.
