1. Foam Roofing Spray Polyurethane Foam Roofing Foam Turns from a Liquid to a Solid Monolithic Protective Roof Shell Polyurethane Foam has a history of more than 35 years as a maintainable roofing medium. Polyurethane Foam adds excellent insulation value to the structure and your utility bills will reflect the difference. The SPF Foam Roof System received the highest marks for life cycle, maintenance, sustainability, energy efficiency and highest return on investment. Sprayed Polyurethane Foam is applied as a liquid using plural-component spray equipment to fill cracks and crevices. It then expands approximately 30 times its original liquid volume to form a hard, closed cell monolithic roof surface. The Polyurethane Foam dries within seconds after applied to the roof surface. Its expansion results in a weather-tight roofing membrane that is fully adhered to the substrate. Because polyurethane is lightweight it adds little additional weight to the structure and is often used in remedial applications. Cool Roof Ratings Our Spray Polyurethane roofs receive recognition by The Cool Roof Rating Council. As an independent, non-profit organization that maintains a third- party rating system. They determine "coolness" by measuring both solar reflectance and thermal emittance. Our SPF roofs refract up to 90% of the suns rays, making it a "Cool Roof". Spray Polyurethane Foam offers the highest thermal resistance “ R Value” of any conventional insulation or roofing material. When applied above the substrate, this roofing system reduces thermal expansion, contractions, and helps eliminate underside condensation, thereby eliminating thermal shorts. Thermal shorts come from screws and nails that are used to fasten down traditional roofs that protrude through the roofing membrane and decking. Seal Against Moisture Spray Foam Roofing Systems form a seamless bond to the substrate whether it is horizontal or vertical. There are no seams to leak or allow water to travel lateral through the system. If a leak does occur it is much easier to locate than an old fashioned roof.

3. Shingle Roofing We Repair and Replace your Old Shingle Roof with Four Layers of Protection There are numerous contractors willing to replace your old roof, but most contractors don't have the skill or the pride to do the job right. We examine the decking, underlayment, flashing and ventilation to make sure we don't miss any problem areas. We even take it a step further by applying four layers of protection to your new roof to keep water leaks away. Decking Most contractors don’ t remove underlayment in order to inspect the wood decking. We, however, take the extra step to inspect the entire roof decking for overall strength and integrity to securely hold the nails and shingles. Flashing Flashing is where most leaks occur. Many contractors give a minimum amount of attention to these areas. We recognize these areas to be the most important places to prevent water leaks. We apply a superior flashing sealant like Rescue 911 for the best protection possible. Additionally we take the extra step of painting visible flashing to match the color of the roof. With all these steps, you will have a leak-free, beautiful roof. Underlayment Without proper installation of underlayment your decking will be exposed to moisture that will cause your decking to become soft and appear wavy. This can also cause the shingles to crack and deteriorate more quickly. We only use plastic caps to install underlayment. We also use Valley Fast or Ice and Water shield in the valley giving protection like no other valley product. Although it is not a visible component, it serves a very important purpose. Ventilation Improper ventilation of your attic will cause high temperatures that will void the manufacturer’ s warranty. High temperature may even cause damage to the structure of your house and exterior paint. It can even cause your roof to lose half its life due to premature shingle damage. It is essential that we do an analysis of current ventilation and give you the specified amount of heat releasing vents required to maintain your manufacturer’s warranty.
