5 benefits of Cool Roof coating solutions

Is a cool roof coating right for your commercial building? It doesn’t matter whether you own a 50-story high rise or a four-bay mechanic shop, you probably wonder how long your building will last. Adding a new cool roof coating solution is a fantastic way to add value and longevity to your building. There are five huge benefits to installing a cool roof coating on your commercial roof…
1. Expense cost in current tax year
Your roof repair can be expensed in the same year with the full cost considered tax-deductible. In comparison, a new roof is expensed over a period of years. If you’re like many business owners, it’s nice to take the full deduction in the same year instead of having to wait for smaller deductions over several years.
2. Reduce energy costs
Many of our cool roof customers experience a 40% decrease in energy bills within a few months of installing a cool roof solution. Using a cool roof coating solution, such as a Spray Polyurethane Foam, or SPF as it’s often called, will save you money on energy costs. The U.S. Department of Energy features a Cool Roof Calculator to help you project how much energy you will save by installing a cool roof coating solution.
3. Extend the life cycle of existing roof
Without a doubt, installing a cool roof coating solution will help your roof stay healthy longer than ever. Cool roof coating solutions allow commercial roofs to exceed their life cycle while meeting EnergySTAR rating measures. (Cool Roof Rating Council)
4. Lower cost than a new roof (removal & replacement cost)
Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) roofs typically cost less than many other commercial roofing solutions. This is because our team usually doesn’t have to tear off a roof to apply an SPF coating. Other roofing solutions, such as TPO, tend to be more expensive because they don’t allow for the same ease of installation as SPF.
5. Reduce carbon footprint / urban island effect
Cool roof coating solutions also help keep our planet and environment healthy and safe. We want to be good stewards of what we’ve been given, and this world of ours is quite a gift. Cool roof coating solutions reduce carbon footprint by extending your roof’s life cycle. This means less roofs needing tear-off and replacement, which means less junk in our landfills. We’re happy, you’re happy, the planet’s happy, and most importantly, God’s happy.
