Even if your building is well-maintained, the roof will eventually start to deteriorate. When that happens, leaks and water damage become all too frequent. Waterproofing your commercial roof will preserve the integrity of the materials, keeping your building in good condition longer. At Surface Shield Roofing Company in Honolulu, HI, their technicians will work to get your roof in shape. They explain how waterproofing works and how it benefits your building.

What Is Commercial Roof Waterproofing?

Waterproofing is the process of applying a protective coating to your roofing materials. The coating is a liquid that bonds to the top layer of your roof to protect it from the elements, including intense sunlight, heavy rain, light debris, and hail. It can extend the useful life of your roof, helping you get more out of your investment without sacrificing protection for your business. Best of all, the coatings may reduce your energy bills as they insulate your building against heat.

Is Your Roof a Good Candidate for a Coating?

Most commercial roofs can accommodate a protective coating, whether you have asphalt shingles or metal panels. However, if the structure is old or has underlying damage, you may need to consider a full replacement. A contractor will examine your roof to determine if you need a new system or if it’s safe to apply a coating. Remember, coatings are not a simple fix for all problems — they simply enhance the natural waterproofing characteristics of the materials.

Let the experts at Surface Shield Roofing Company install a high-quality coating on your roof and see the difference professional waterproofing can make.
