Restore the roof you have, when it makes sense.
Restoration can extend the life of an existing commercial roof that is still a sound base. The first step is understanding the roof, so the recommendation fits its actual condition.
What restoration is
A restoration repairs and renews an existing roof in place instead of tearing it off. Problem areas are repaired first, then a new restoration system is applied over the prepared roof. The right system depends on the existing roof and its condition.
When restoration may fit
- Mostly dry roof. Little trapped moisture in the insulation, confirmed by assessment.
- Sound deck. No significant rust-through, rot or sagging.
- Working drainage. Water drains, or drainage can be corrected first.
- Aging, not failed. The roof is wearing out but still a sound base.
When it does not
Widespread wet insulation, deck or structural problems, and chronic ponding usually point to a full tear-off and replacement. We will tell you when restoration is the wrong call. Read the limits.
Understand the roof first
Before recommending restoration, we inspect the roof, document what we find and, where warranted, assess moisture. What a moisture scan shows.
Some restoration systems can be renewed at the end of their warranty term, subject to the specific system and roof condition. Warranty terms are confirmed per project. Not every roof can be restored, and sometimes replacement is necessary.
