The smarter alternative

Your roof may not need to be replaced.

A weathered or leaking commercial roof does not always mean the entire roofing system needs to be torn off and replaced. In many cases, the underlying roof can remain in place while problem areas are repaired and a professionally installed restoration system is applied over the existing surface.

That means you can address water intrusion, protect the roof from further weather exposure, and extend its useful life without starting over.

Traditional replacement

Remove existing roofing, dispose of materials, install a new system, and manage the disruption.

VERSUS

Roof restoration

Prepare the existing roof, complete targeted repairs, reinforce vulnerable areas, and install a protective restoration system.

The restoration process

Here is exactly what happens to your roof.

  1. 1

    We inspect the existing roof

    We look at the roof's current condition, existing membrane or metal, seams, penetrations, drains, flashing and locations where water may be entering. We identify the areas that need attention before any restoration material is applied.

  2. 2

    We thoroughly clean and prepare the surface

    Accumulated dirt, debris, contaminants, loose material and failing sections are addressed. Surface preparation helps the new system bond properly and allows us to see problem areas that may have been hidden.

  3. 3

    We repair problem areas

    Loose fasteners, deteriorated flashings, damaged seams and areas of concern are corrected as needed. Restoration does not mean covering up leaks; we address their sources as part of the process.

  4. 4

    We reinforce vulnerable roof details

    Seams, joints, penetrations, transitions and other critical areas receive system-appropriate detailing or reinforcement. These are often the parts of a commercial roof that need the greatest care.

  5. 5

    We apply the restoration system

    Our crew installs the specified protective system, following the product requirements for application and thickness. The result is a continuous layer designed to help weatherproof the restored roof and protect it from the elements.

  6. 6

    We review the finished roof

    We check the completed work and the critical details that were addressed. You receive an explanation of the completed restoration, expected care and the warranty terms for your project.

Why businesses choose restoration

Keep your roof. Keep your budget. Keep operating.

  • 1. Major cost savings

    Instead of paying for a full tear-off and replacement, restoration builds on the roof you already have. The exact savings depend on the building and work involved, but the difference can be substantial.

  • 2. Minimal business disruption

    Many restoration projects can be completed while a business continues operating. Avoiding large-scale tear-off can mean less noise, less debris, fewer interruptions and a more manageable job site.

  • 3. No unnecessary tear-off

    Keeping serviceable roofing material in place reduces the amount of waste being removed and hauled away. It also avoids exposing the building unnecessarily during full demolition.

  • 4. Waterproofing and weather protection

    Targeted repairs, reinforced details and the installed protective system work together to reduce common routes for water intrusion and defend against sun, rain and seasonal exposure.

  • 5. Potential energy-efficiency benefits

    When a reflective system is appropriate, it can help reduce roof-surface temperatures in warm weather. Actual building energy savings vary with climate, insulation, roof design and operating conditions.

  • 6. A clear warranty

    Roof Restore provides a 20-year warranty on qualifying restoration projects under the written warranty terms. The warranty is provided by Roof Restore, not represented as a manufacturer warranty.

Protection and warranty

What happens after restoration?

Once restored, your roof has a newly installed protective system over the prepared and repaired existing roof. With appropriate maintenance and inspections, restoration is intended to help extend the time before a full roof replacement becomes necessary.

Roof Restore provides a 20-year warranty on qualifying projects.

Coverage is subject to the written warranty terms for your project.

Roof restoration is not a promise that every roof will last a specific number of years without maintenance. We explain the system and warranty applicable to each project.

Common questions

Questions business owners ask.

Is restoration just painting the roof?

No. A proper restoration begins with inspection and surface preparation, followed by necessary repairs, detailed reinforcement and installation of the protective system. The preparation and detail work are essential.

Will we need to close our business?

Usually not. One major advantage of restoration is that operations can often continue during the project. We coordinate access and work areas around your building's needs.

Can a roof that already leaks be restored?

Often, yes. Existing leaks should be investigated and repaired rather than simply coated over. The solution depends on the roof's condition and the source of the water intrusion.

How is it so much less expensive?

A full replacement includes demolition, disposal and installation of an entirely new roof. Restoration can avoid much of that work because it preserves the existing serviceable system.

How long will the work take?

Duration depends on square footage, weather, roof condition, repair requirements and the restoration system being installed. We review the anticipated schedule with you as part of your proposal.

What does the 20-year warranty cover?

Roof Restore provides the warranty on qualifying projects. Coverage, conditions, maintenance responsibilities and exclusions are set out in the written warranty issued for the specific job.

What if I don't know the size or condition of my roof?

That's completely fine. You can select “Not sure” for roof size in the assessment. We can review the details and discuss the next step with you.
