Roof Restoration Services

Roof restoration is the process of repairing, restoring, and preserving the building’s existing roof to stop leaks, extend the roof life, and provide an easily maintainable seamless roof surface.

No, it’s much more than that.  A good roofing contractor can repair roof leaks, but over time, weather elements will likely make the roof leak somewhere else.  The main reason a good roof starts to leak is due to weathering such as UV rays from the sun, constant temperature changes, and other environmental factors. When leaks start developing, it’s often a symptom of the roof aging.  This constant barrage starts to weaken the membrane, laps, metal flashing, and fasteners on the roof where the majority of failures start.  One leak turns into two, and so on.  Roof restoration stops the leaks and provides a new seamless surface that prevents leaks before they start.

The most expensive option is to remove and replace the roof.  The next option is recovering or retrofitting a roof.  In this situation, by code, you can only install a second roof on top of the first.  A restoration should be the least expensive option.

If you select the restoration option, you can always choose to do the recover or second roof on top of first and still be within code.  If, however, you choose the second roof retrofitted now, down the road you will have no choices left.  It is a near certainty that you will have to replace both roofs down to the deck and start over.

Seamless Building Systems LLC will thoroughly examine your roof, checking for things like leaks and their sources, the condition of the deck and insulation (if you have it), all flashings, old ridges and splits, and weathering of the roof system.  If these areas are not out of line for the roof’s age, pliability, and overall strength, restoration will be recommended.

With asphaltic-based materials (which are all black/brown in color), there can always be a worst-case scenario when some asphalt smell is detected.  The smell lessens and dissipates over time.  Water-based black asphaltic and white acrylics have almost no odor.

The short answer is absolutely yes.  Probably the most non-green activity in the entire roofing industry is roof removal and putting the materials in a landfill.  By completing a roof restoration, you are adding additional years to the life of the roof, which translates into sustainability.

For profit companies may be eligible for deduction over a one-to-four year cycle because roof restoration is classified as maintenance.  Install a new roof and it is depreciated over 39 years according to IRS rules and regulations.  Consult your tax professional for additional information.

The roof should be checked at least two times a year: spring and fall.  Look for flashings pulling away, clogged drains, make sure gutters are free of debris and allow for unrestricted water flow, punctures, or any other potential damage.

The procedures Seamless Building Systems LLC follows will be in accordance with standards set by the National Roofing Contractor’s Association.

That’s always an option, but it’s also extremely expensive.  If your roof is showing signs of wear, but is not totally worn out, it is likely best to restore it at substantial savings. Seamless Building Systems roof restoration can be half the cost, or even less, than a new roof.  A large part of a new roof is the removal and disposal of the old roofing material.  This is a costly process that creates noise, business downtime, and waste material that clutter landfills.
