September is coming to an end and the dog days of summer are numbered. With the fall weather upon us, it is cooler at night, cold and dewy in the morning or even damp. As you know, rainy/damp days can present challenges when performing flat roof repairs or restorations in cooler weather. Super VOC compliant and Zero VOC content coatings are elastomeric and susceptible to early wash off if not cured properly before exposure
There are several things to consider before jumping into your next roof restoration or waterproofing project. Some things to think about are roof size, style, climate, environmental stipulations, sustainability and susceptibility to further damage. When in the planning stages of your project, it’s important to do your research, look at the products available on the market even interview the companies that offer waterproofing solutions to find the best product for your property. The right
Making good decisions is essential to reducing short and long-term costs associated with any property improvement related projects. This is especially true when it comes to the larger, more complex projects like re-roofing. The first major decision that should be made is whether to simply patch leaks and damaged areas, perform a partial restoration or if it is necessary, to complete a full restoration project.

Before the creation of SureCoat Roof Systems, our construction company had used just about every roof coating product on the market since the 70’s. So it’s safe to say we’ve seen what’s out there and we’ve witnessed the interesting transformation of what is known as the commercial roofing warranty. Back in the day, warranties were a sign of good faith between a contractor and an owner, but now they have become more of a prop
Investing in a roof system is a big deal. It’s not just about choosing the right products or understanding how a warranty covers you, but it’s also about connecting with the right individuals who can install those products the right way. SureCoat has 40+ years of experience behind it from all aspects of the construction industry, so believe us when we say we’ve been around the block a time or two. ;D The point being
When you make a big purchase, the manufacturer or seller usually makes a substantial promise to back their product or service, also known as that little thing called a warranty. And, federal law requires that these “guarantees” or “assurances” be available for you to read before you buy a product. Yes, we did say read. And yes, trying to make sense of said warranties is like trying to read another language when you don’t
Each summer the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), dedicates a whole week to all things roofing. Okay, that’s a little bit vague. By all things roofing, we mean working to raise awareness about the importance of roofing to every home and business across the U.S., and to share the good deeds of the industry. Most importantly, it’s a time to promote positive practices and to educate local communities about making conscious choices on the maintenance
Weather fact: Did you know that “El Niño” means “the little boy,” or “Christ child” in Spanish, and was originally recognized by fisherman off the coast of South America in the 1600s? A Peruvian fisherman equated the water-warming phenomenon to the newborn Christ, around Christmas, and just like that, a weather anomaly was born. Just a year ago, we experienced the strongest El Niño since the 1997-98 season, with sea-surface temps reaching as high
Moms are silly. They love us for our failures, our egomaniacal behavior, flagrant flaws and all that is considered our faultiness as humans. They have kissed our boo-boos, car-pooled us across three states just to get us to our soccer championships and continue to feed us and wash our clothing even when were 45 and married with five kids… or just 45. Come on, Moms! Get your acts together. If you really knew what you
