Local building codes will allow two roof layers on any commercial or residential roof.

In most cases we will recommend removing all roof layers so that we can inspect the substrate make any nessisary repairs. However in many cases when it comes to built up roof systems the base will be applied to the substrate and is near impossible to remove. In these cases we will remove all other layers above and roof over the first roof layer. 

Yes, the re-roofing process is noisy.

Yes, we can use a standing seam panel that has a manufactured seal applied to the panel that will create a water tight seal when crimped. 

Though products are availible a successful application will depend nearly on the quality of the prep. In most cases these products fail after the first 6 months or year and begin to peal and flake to the point of failure. 

Alluminum Coating is a highly reflective coating that reflects heat and UV rays. It will slow the breakdown of Built up roof systems( Hot tar) much like a ballast roof without the weight and complications that pea gravels create. 

No, alluminum coating is not a sealer. It's primary function is to protect the asphalt and plys from heat and uv rays. 

Yes. If your built up roof still has life remaining aluminum coating can be applied to add life to your roof. 

In many cases a built up roof system will still be in good condition but the penatrations are starting to fail. This is when a flat roof can become a money pit for a building owner. Most roofers will apply a thick coating of mastic to the problem and after 6 months to a year the mastic will cure and harden to the point that it begins to crack and fail. The leaks will continue. 

As the leaks take their toll the building owner will often opt for a new roof not knowing that that they could save thousands with a simple maintenance program that we offer so that they can enjoy the remaining life of their roof. 

As a build up roof begins to fail and after years of expansion and contraction the roof membrane will begin to buckle. When your roof system begins to buckle it's time for a new roof. With time these buckles will split and create long cracks that will only be known about after a heavy storm.
