Roof Coating FAQs

Roof repair and replacement is one of the greatest costs of all home ownership. Most homeowners don’t consider the condition of their roof or are simply unable to regularly access their roof before it becomes to late and they are dealing with leaks or energy efficiency issues. Upon inspection of your roof, it’s common to find water damage, cracks, and debris that can inhibit the effectiveness of your roof.

Whether your roof maintenance has not been consistent or you are planning the construction of a new property, roof coatings will improve the condition and increase the value of your investment. Now, you may be wondering where to start when it comes to selecting a roof coating. Everlast Coatings of Phoenix, Arizona carry a wide selection of cutting-edge roof coating products.

Why Purchase a Roof Coating?

Your property is a valuable investment and roof coatings will preserve, prolong, and even increase the value of this investment. Specifically, roof coatings will extend the useful life of your roof, provide greater energy efficiency, and improve the overall appearance of your building. A high quality roof coating will extend the life of your roof and minimize the possibility of avoidable repair and maintenance costs.

What Can Damage My Roof?

Even well-built roofs will begin to deteriorate over time due to exposure to extreme temperatures, the heat and UV rays of the sun, rain, moisture, mold, nesting insects and pests, and other debris. A roof coating from Everlast Coatings will protect your investment from these destructive forces and extend the life of your roof for years.

Can My Roof Be Coated?

Just about any roof can benefit from a roof coating. Before buying coating products, consult with your roofing contractor or an expert at Everlast Coatings to help you determine which product is right for your unique home.

Should I only coat an older roof?

Though you might think that only an aging roof can benefit from the protection of a roof coating, even brand new buildings will enjoy the decreased wear and tear, increased energy efficiency, and improved appearance of a roof coating.

How long will a roof coating last?

There are many different coatings for different roof applications and the life expectancy of these roof coatings will vary accordingly. Most coatings are designed to last for at least a decade or more. When planning your coating project, it’s important to weight cost savings of a cheaper coating against the long term benefits of a long term coating. It’s also important that you properly care for your coating to maximize its life.

Can roof coatings affect the value of my home?

A high quality and well applied roof coating can immediately increase the value of your home by improving energy efficiency, extending the lifespan of the roof, and improving the appearance. A high quality roof coating can also protect the structural integrity and interior of the building by keeping out water and debris that might cause damage to the structure.

Will a roof coating improve a home’s energy efficiency?

Roof coatings deflect not only harmful UV rays but also the heat of the sun, thus decreasing the amount of heat that a building will absorb. With less heat absorption, a home’s cooling equipment will not need to work as hard and consequentially the electricity consumption will decrease. This will save the property owner money and also decrease the carbon footprint of the building.
