The following are the steps involved in the process of commercial roof restoration.
Step 1: Initial Roof Inspection
The first step is a thorough inspection. Professionals identify the current condition of the roof by determining any leaks, cracks, and/or weak areas. This process will help to assess if the roof can be restored or if it will need to be replaced. Once a detailed inspection has taken place, the homeowner should have a report to ensure every roof repair cost is accurate, and assures the roof will perform long-term and cost-effectively for the homeowner.
Step 2: Surface Cleaning
After that, the roof surface is carefully cleaned with either power washing or a specialized cleaning agent. This process removes dirt, debris, mildew, and existing coatings. A clean surface is critical to the adhesion of the restoration materials. Without proper cleaning, even the best restoration products will not properly bond or last.
Step 3: Repairing Damaged Sections
Once the cleaning portion is complete, any damaged areas will be repaired. Damaged areas can include cracks, punctures, and loose seams. The roofing contractors use roofing-grade sealants or patches to seal leaking areas and reinforce weak areas. All repairs are made with one purpose in mind, which is to have a smooth surface that is watertight and ready to be coated. We make repairs to deter any future damage and improve durability.
Step 4: Applying Primer
At this stage, a primer will then be applied to the surface repairs in order to improve the bonding of the roof to the restoration coating. The primer will be used to seal the roofing surface so the coatings can be evenly applied while ensuring long-term adhesion of the coatings. A proper prime coat will also help prevent blistering and penetration of moisture and act as the foundation for a better final finish.
Step 5: Coating Application
This stage may be called Commercial Roof Restoration. The roofing contractors (now workers having the roofing work done) will evenly apply a high-performance reflective coating (generally silicone, acrylic, or elastomeric) to the roof. This coating will seal the roof surface and improve weather resistance, and is designed to reflect UV rays from the sun to cool the building. This layer will protect the roof from adverse environmental issues year-round.
Step 6: Detailing and Sealing Joints
At this last stage of the process, we look at the seams, flashing, vents, and joints in the roofing system. This layer of the restoration will receive extra sealants and fabric reinforcements to seal the most vulnerable areas and operate on both an insurance and waterproofing level. A proper detailing of the roof, strengthening the membrane system, including direct adhesion to the roofing substrate. Proper detailing will improve the strength of the roof system while keeping the system intact.
Step 7: Final Inspection and Quality Check
After the coating dries, there is a final inspection for even coverage, even thickness, and proper adhesion. RoofGuard Systems technicians inspect every little detail for safety and performance. This step confirms the commercial roof restoration meets applicable standards of the roofing industry for quality results and ultimate protection for many years.
