FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it better to restore my commercial roof or replace it?
For most sound roofs, restoration is the smarter choice, saving money and time while replacement suits roofs with severe structural damage.
How much can roof restoration save compared to a full roof replacement?
Roof restoration typically costs 20-50% less than full replacement, since it skips costly tear-off, disposal fees, and structural rebuild work.
Can spray polyurethane foam (SPF) be installed over my existing roof?
Yes, spray polyurethane foam bonds directly to most existing roof substrates, creating a seamless waterproof layer without any tear-off needed.
How long does a spray foam roofing system last?
A well-maintained spray foam roofing system can last 30 to 50 years or longer, especially when recoated periodically against UV exposure damage.
What types of commercial roofs can you restore?
We restore metal, modified bitumen, BUR, and concrete roofs, along with single-ply and other common commercial roofing substrates nationwide.
Will installing spray foam disrupt my business operations?
No, spray foam application is fast, low-noise, and low-odor, letting your business continue operating normally throughout the restoration process.
How do I know if my roof is wet or has hidden damage?
Signs include water stains, sagging deck areas, musty odors, or rising energy bills; infrared scans and core cuts confirm hidden moisture damage.
Do you offer free commercial roof inspections and moisture surveys?
Yes, we provide free commercial roof inspections and infrared moisture surveys to pinpoint wet insulation before recommending any repair solution.
Can you stop leaks without tearing off my existing roof?
Absolutely, spray foam seals seams, cracks, and penetrations directly, stopping active leaks without the expense and disruption of a full tear-off.
How long does a commercial roof restoration project usually take?
Most commercial roof restoration projects finish within a few days to two weeks, depending on roof size, weather, and existing surface condition.
Why choose spray foam and coatings instead of a traditional roof replacement?
Foam and coatings cost less upfront, install faster, add insulation value, and cut landfill waste versus a traditional tear-off replacement.
What is the R-value of spray foam roofing?
Spray foam roofing typically delivers an R-value of about 6.5 to 7 per inch, offering some of the best thermal insulation performance available.
What warranties do you offer on commercial roof restoration systems?
We offer manufacturer-backed warranties ranging from 10 to 20 years, covering both the sprayed foam substrate and the protective silicone top coat.
Does spray foam roofing lower energy bills?
Yes, the added insulation value and reflective coating from spray foam roofing can significantly cut heating and cooling costs throughout the year.
Can spray foam be recoated instead of replaced?
Yes, recoating extends a spray foam roof's service life indefinitely, making full replacement unnecessary as long as the foam substrate stays sound.
Can spray foam roofing withstand hail and high winds?
Properly installed spray foam roofing systems withstand hail, high winds, and impact damage, often exceeding standard roofing material ratings.
What maintenance does a spray foam roof require?
Maintenance stays minimal: periodic visual inspections plus a recoat application every 10 to 15 years keep the roofing system performing well.
Do you work nationwide?
We serve commercial roofing clients across the country, bringing the same trained crews, materials, and quality standards to every project site.
Can you restore a roof that has ponding water?
Yes, spray foam roofing is applied with a slight slope built in, correcting ponding water issues that plague many flat commercial roof surfaces.
Do you provide emergency commercial roof repairs?
Yes, our team responds quickly to emergency leaks and storm damage, providing temporary repairs before scheduling a full restoration project.
Can you install a new roof without penetrating a concrete roof deck?
Yes, spray foam is lightweight and adheres directly to concrete decks, requiring no fasteners or new penetrations into the structure below it.
How do I know if my commercial roof qualifies for restoration?
Roofs with sound structural decking and manageable moisture levels typically qualify for restoration; our free inspection confirms true eligibility.
