Residential Roof Restoration and Coatings

A metal roof has a long life when cared for properly. However, if the roof sustains some damage, it’s likely the roof will need to be replaced rather than restored. If your metal roof is damaged, it’s best to have a roofing professional assess the damage. Maintenance and repair for a metal roof could cost around $2,500. Replacing the roof will be a larger investment so it’s best to contact us for a complimentary roof replacement estimate.

The lifespan of a residential roof depends on the type of roofing material used and the conditions surrounding the roof like extreme weather, moisture, sun exposure, etc. These are the average lifespans for the following types of residential roofs:

Asphalt Shingles: 20-25 years

Clay Tile: 50 years

Metal: 25-40 years

Spray Foam Insulated System: 10-20 years

Silicone roof coating is used on flat roofs, mostly on commercial roofs, although it is growing in popularity among residential flat roofs. The silicone is applied in a single coating. The white coating reflects sunlight and helps lower energy costs in hot months. Silicone coating also provides great water resistance from heavy rain and constant moisture.

Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material in the United States, but Diversified Roofing serves Arizona and Texas, where roofing styles are a little different than the national norm. In Arizona, tile roofing is more common. Clay and concrete tiles have a long life span and are fire resistant and an excellent green solution. In Texas, common roofing materials are split between tile roofing and asphalt. Asphalt shingles have many positive qualities. They are durable, fire-resistant, and one of the lowest cost roofing materials. They come in a variety of colors, are easy to replace, and last 20 years on average. We can help you decide which roofing material best fits your home for the climate, environment, and your budget.

Sunlight is the biggest contributor to roof damage. Over time, UV rays will dry out shingles and make them brittle. A roof restoration or coating allows older roofs to receive new materials without the cost of a full replacement, and it gives the restored roof greater resistance to UV damage. While you can’t completely escape the heat caused by Texas and Arizona summers, restoring your roof gives the material the extra protection it needs to hold up well under the sun.

Silicone and spray foam roofing create white, reflective surfaces that will help reduce your cooling bills. Asphalt shingles, clay tiles, and metal roofing can all be good choices to lower your cooling bills as well. Asphalt shingles come with a UV resistant coating and lighter colors can be chosen. Clay tiles also come in more natural colors to reflect sunlight, and metal roofing cools faster at night, which transfers less heat to the house.
