Everyone who owns a building wants to maximize the longevity of their structure, and a roof coating is an excellent way to do it. It will reduce the need for costly repairs due to water and storm damage. JD Painting & Decorating, with locations on Kauai and Maui, consider roof coating a necessity in Hawaii's coastal climate and explain its benefits.

The Roof Coating Process

A roof coating is a specially formulated liquid membrane that is applied by roofing and exterior painting technicians. It typically is made of silicone or epoxy. To put on the coating, renovation professionals use a combination of basic painting tools like rollers and brushes along with high-pressure airless sprayers. When the substance dries, it is waterproof and durable, providing an effective barrier against physical damage from rain, hail, and UV radiation.

The Advantages of the Service

One of the main benefits of applying a roof coating is it will extend the life of not only your roof but building. Heavy rain and severe storms often can damage roofs and create leaks. If left unchecked, the leaks can lead to water damage that requires expensive repairs. A roof coating adds a protective barrier against water that will safeguard the structural integrity of your property.

Adding a roof coating to your building also can provide energy savings. Modern coatings have reflective properties that reduce the roof’s temperature during daylight hours, helping the interior stay cool with less demand on the air conditioning system. This can result in considerably lower utility bills.
