Roof coatings like spray polyurethane foam protect and extend the life of your roofing systems. Many people are not aware that their typical asphalt roofing system is heavily affected by the heat – the number one cause of roof failure. Once damaged, asphalt roofing systems lead to rising energy costs. Therefore, a cool roof coating is an excellent way to beat the heat because it provides a cool, energy efficient, and safe roof over your head.

1. Increased comfort during the hot summer months

4. Protection from ultra-violet light and harmful chemicals
5. Environment-friendly materials used
