Metal Roof Restoration Benefits
When it comes to metal roofing, restoration offers a smart, cost-effective solution compared to a total roof replacement. Here are some key benefits of opting for a restoration:
Increased Longevity
A well-maintained metal roof can last for decades, but wear and tear over time can reduce its lifespan. Metal roof restoration provides a new lease on life to your metal roof, allowing it to withstand the elements for many more years. Through professional cleaning, inspection, and application of high-quality coatings, we can extend the durability of your roof, saving you money in the long run by delaying the need for a full replacement.
Enhanced Performance
Over time, metal roofs can suffer from rust, leaks, and thermal expansion. These issues can compromise the performance of your roof, leading to costly repairs and energy inefficiency. Metal roof restoration by Empire Contractors can help restore the integrity of your roof, ensuring it performs as it should. A well-restored roof maintains better thermal performance, keeping your building cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, which can also lead to lower energy bills.
It’s 85% reflective, meaning it will not only lower the temperature of the underside of the roof, it lowers the surface temperature of the roof, resulting in less movement of the restructure, allowing the roof coating system to last even longer.
Waterproofing
One of the most important aspects of roof health is waterproofing. A metal roof that isn’t properly sealed is susceptible to leaks, water damage, and mold growth. During our restoration process, we apply high-quality sealants and coatings that provide a protective barrier against moisture. This reduces the risk of leaks and prevents further deterioration of the roofing material, ensuring your building stays dry and protected from the elements. A large part of the waterproof process is the fact that the coatings are liquid applied. As it dries, a solid layer of protection is left behind, virtually eliminating any seams.
Less Business Disruption
As metal roof restoration is significantly less invasive than replacement, by avoiding tear-off, we do not have to shut down sections of the business or disrupt the workflow of the customer, to install the system. Additionally, installation time typically takes half of what a full replacement does, reducing disruption even more.
Cost Effective
Roof coating systems generally cost about 1/3 to 1/2 less than a full replacement option, With competitive warranties.
Perhaps equally important, the system is fully sustainable. At the end of its expected life, the system can be washed and a new top coat applied, extending the lifespan of the roof even further. Even the warranty is extended!
Additionally, metal roof restoration services are generally tax deductible. Section 179 applies to roof coatings and allows you to deduct the total cost of the roof the year it was installed. Speak with your tax advisor to learn more.
