Your Professional Flat Roof Coating Contractor in Jacksonville

Many businesses, commercial buildings, and Elo Roofing warehouses have flat roofs. They’re particularly useful for creating extra outdoor space, giving you easy access to clean or repair them, and offer wind resistance.

A common myth is the flat roofs are not durable and cannot hold the weight of snow, but this is not true. Building codes require that flat roofs be able to carry enough weight to protect the structural integrity of the building.

However, what you will find is that flat roofs need a higher degree of maintenance. With that in mind, here are some of the best flat roof coating solutions to protect your roof from the elements and natural aging.

Why Apply a Coating?

Flat roof coating can ensure that your roof lasts another 10-15 years without needing to be replaced. It prevents leaks, is easy to apply, and gives you the longevity you need at a much lower cost than replacing the entire roof.

A reliable roof coating company like Elo Roofing can inspect your current roof and suggest the best coating for you. Which coating you need depends on the type of roof you have and whether your roof has a high amount of traffic. There are many different solutions you can choose from, so keep reading to see your options.

Types of Flat Roof Coating

There are several types of roof coatings that provide particular benefits to flat roofs. They include asphalt, acrylic, polyureas, and urethanes. Each has a different purpose, so while they all work, your needs will determine which type of flat roof coating you choose.

ASPHALT

Asphalt coatings are mixed with a solvent that helps thin the asphalt, making application easy via spray nozzle or brush. Some asphalt coatings have added aluminum to aid in sun reflection. Other additives can increase the strength, thickness, or longevity of the coating.

Asphalt emulsions use water instead of a solvent to thin the mixture. The same additives can create additional strength, thickness, and longevity, and it’s applied the same way. The benefit of using water is that the solution doesn’t allow water to pool, which can aid in a non-slip surface that can accommodate heavy traffic.

ACRYLIC

Acrylic elastomers are highly reflective and usually installed on bituminous and non-bituminous roofing. This reflective surface aids in deflecting heat, keeping your building cooler and better insulated.

Acrylic is extremely durable. It has been used for decades for Elo Roofing purposes, and because of its easy application, it is more cost-effective and provides the best value.

POLYUREAS

Polyureas haven’t been used for as long as some of the other coatings on the market. Some polyureas are similar to polyurethane and others are closer to urethane. These types of coatings are continually being modified by manufacturers to make them even better.

Polyureas provide excellent abrasion resistance, structural enhancement, corrosion protection, waterproofing, and chemical resistance.

URETHANES

Urethane roof coatings are used commonly on concrete surfaces like driveways and parking garages. They can also be used on wood. They are used alone and not layered with other roofing products. Urethane coatings are perfect for high traffic areas because they are seamless, flexible, and durable.

Urethane coatings expand and contract with your roof, resist water pooling, and are more impact resistant than many other flat roof coatings.

How Flat Roof Coating is Applied

Flat roof coating contractors usually brush or spray your roof coating onto the surface. The length of the process depends on which kind of coating you choose and the size of your roof.

First, they’ll clean your roof, identifying any areas that need to be repaired. Next, they’ll fix any holes, tears, or open seams so that the coating will be as effective as possible. Then they’ll start in one corner and either spray or brush the coating on in small sections.

The weather conditions have to be just right as well. Applying a roof coating when the roof is too hot or too cold can affect its adhesive qualities. Sometimes a flat roof coating service will only work early in the morning if the peak temperatures that day are not favorable.

It can take up to 24 hours for the coating to dry and your flat roof coating company may recommend you stay off it for even longer depending on how much time it needs to set.

Was dreading having to replace my roof. Tom with ELO roofing made the process simple and easy to get through. Kept in touch through the whole process. The price was very good and the timely completion of the job was exactly as it was explained. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend ELO roofing to anyone in the market for a roof. You can't go wrong.

This review is very overdue and I apologize if I only do it today. But time will test the durability of their work, and the season of huricane and storm is already here. I am truly satisfied and grateful on how they helped me and my mother go thru the processes of fixing and changing our roof. We trusted them with all our hearts that this project will be done thru the help of Maria and Rom Guzman. They consider us not a client but like part of their own family that's in need and must be helped. For that I am thankful, we are thankful.They finished our roof fast and efficient. No stress in our side and also gives us update when needed. It has been 6 months past and hurricane and storm passed by and all I can say is we never have any problems like leaking or any fallen shingles.Again, thank you to Rom Guzman and Maria for helping a family like us. May God bless you for your kindness and love to us and to the other families that you are helping.

It seems like every company these days say they are customer focused and committed to excellent customer service. Some companies deliver on this promise, but most fall short. In my 42-year career, I worked in management at several four and five-star hotels and resorts. I was generally responsible for overseeing over a hundred employees, and ensuring that they delivered a high level of excellent customer service.When my wife and I decided it was time to replace our roof, we did some research online and located four highly reviewed and rated roofers. We asked each of the four to bid on the job. We were not just looking for the cheapest bid. We wanted quality and service. We met with a sales rep from each of the four companies. They were all very professional and seemed competent and trustworthy. They were all pretty close on the price as well.ELO sent Ryan Boyd. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and he not only answered all of our questions, but he brought up important information that we did not even think to ask about. Once we signed the bid, Amanda Farrell contacted us. She is the coordinator that worked to schedule the job, and she kept in touch along the way to make sure everything was on track. Within a week, they had the permit from the county, the materials and dumpster were delivered on a Friday, and the crew showed up at 6 AM on Monday. They had told us it would take one to three days. They got it done in one. They also installed a very nice Velux skylight for us. Dylan was the site supervisor, and he kept in touch with me all day, answering my questions and responding to my concerns at every step. When everything was done, we were very happy with the installation, clean-up, and how good everything looked.A few days later, I got a call from Tim Taylor, their Quality Assurance Manager. He was following up to make sure we were happy. I told him we were 99.5% happy, but one small thing did not look right. He came to our house, and I showed him the siding on the chimney where it meets the roof. It looked a bit damaged, not terrible, but a little rough. I realized it probably wasn’t even anything they had done as we looked at it with him. He didn’t miss a beat. He said we can fix that for you. A few days later, he came back with another man to help him, and they made it look like new. Five-star hospitality.Top notch customer service, didn’t nickel and dime us, friendly, and competent. We would highly recommend.
