Before restorationA better starting question
What is happening under the surface?
A roof can look worn and still be a restoration candidate. It can also look ready for coating while moisture is trapped below. Seams, fasteners, drainage, and insulation all affect the answer.
We start with the current condition and the repairs needed, then look at coating systems that fit the roof. If restoration is not the right path, the recommendation should say so.
How roof restoration works →Explore your options
Coating systems depend on the roof
Find the roof type or material you are considering. Each guide explains what should be checked and where coating has limits.
What restoration can involve
Keep the sound roof. Fix the weak points.
A coating is one part of a restoration scope. Cleaning, repairs, primer, and reinforced details can be just as important as the field coating. The work is planned around the roof type and its condition.
- Review leaks and prior repairs
- Find and address wet materials
- Prepare seams, penetrations, and edges
- Apply a compatible, specified system

Questions and answers
Before you choose a coating
Roof condition determines the recommendation. An evaluation can answer questions specific to your building.
Check my roof →Can every commercial roof be coated?
No. The roof needs a sound substrate and a compatible coating system. Wet materials, drainage, repairs, and adhesion should be evaluated before a recommendation.
Can a coating stop an existing leak?
A coating may be part of the solution after the leak source is found and damaged or wet areas are repaired. Applying coating over an unresolved leak is not a sound plan.
Is restoration less expensive than replacement?
It can be when a substantial part of the existing roof is worth keeping. The roof condition, repair scope, access, and specified system determine the comparison.
What happens during a roof evaluation?
Higher Roof Solutions reviews the roof type, problem areas, seams, flashings, drainage, and suspected wet areas. Testing or further investigation may be recommended before a final scope.
