FAQs
What types of specialty roof coatings do you offer in Tellico Plains?
We install a full range of premium elastomeric, silicone, acrylic, and polyurethane roof coatings tailored to metal, single-ply (TPO, EPDM, PVC), modified bitumen, built-up, and low-slope commercial roofs. Each coating is selected based on your roof’s existing membrane, slope, and performance requirements.
How can a roof coating benefit my building in Tellico Plains’ climate?
Tellico Plains experiences hot, humid summers, occasional winter freezes, and heavy rainfall. A properly applied reflective coating lowers roof-surface temperatures by up to 50 °F, reducing HVAC loads, preventing thermal shock, sealing small seams against wind-driven rain, and adding a seamless waterproof barrier that resists ponding and UV degradation.
How long does a specialty coating system typically last?
With correct surface preparation and manufacturer-approved mil thickness, most silicone and high-solids elastomeric coatings deliver 10–20 years of renewable service life. Routine inspections and simple re-coats at the end of the warranty period can extend the roof’s lifespan indefinitely without costly tear-offs.
Will a coating disrupt my daily operations?
No. Coatings are applied cold—no torches or hot kettles—so odors and noise are minimal. Our crews stage materials, clean, and spray or roll the coating in sections, allowing businesses to remain open. Most projects are completed within 1–3 days for 10,000 sq ft, weather permitting.
Is a roof coating more cost-effective than a full roof replacement?
Yes. Specialty coatings cost roughly 30–50 % of a tear-off and new membrane, largely because they eliminate landfill fees and extensive labor. You also gain energy savings from reflectivity that can cut cooling costs 10–30 %. Many clients see a full ROI within 5–7 years.
Do you provide warranties and maintenance programs?
Absolutely. We offer manufacturer-backed labor and material warranties of 10, 15, or 20 years depending on the coating selected. After installation, we provide annual or bi-annual maintenance plans that include cleaning, inspection, and spot repairs to keep your warranty in force and maximize performance.
