Roofing Year Round? – There’s a Coating for That!
The right products that cover you every season.
Some areas of the country are blessed to see the four seasons and some are blessed not to see four seasons, it’s a matter of opinion; however, no matter what part of the country and what season you are facing, there is one thing that doesn’t change; that is the need for roofing. There is always new construction and repair work needed; luckily there are viable coating solutions for your roof regardless of location and weather.
Winter – Working in cold and wet conditions can be a challenge, but SureSet cures in as little as 2 -12 hours in temperatures as low as 40°F. SureSet is a fast-drying roof coating with similar waterproofing ability as our original SureCoat and has excellent adhesion to any roof without a primer. SureSet can be used for flat roof repairs in cold weather to seal roof seams, roof jacks, HVAC curbs, parapet walls, drains, waterways and to fix leaks where there is ponding water.
Spring – Finally the winter is over, the sun is out and it’s time for… April showers! April showers make all flowers bloom, but can also affect your roof with ponding water and leaks. SureCoat can keep your property dry longer, it’s also faster and easier to install. Another reason SureCoat comes in handy in the spring is for repairs and maintenance. A lot of roofs suffer damage during the winter months, and SureCoat products are ideal for repairing and extending the life of your roof without breaking the bank.
Summer – Working in the rainy and humid weather of summer? Looking at hurricane forecasts have you wondering if your roof will be safe? Do your properties have to deal with the summer heat? SureCoat has a perm rating so low that it will keep your roof leak-free for many years. Because our systems are seamless and completely bonded, there are no weak areas for the air to infiltrate into the structure and cause wind uplift. Lastly, when it comes to keeping your property cool, SureCoat can help reduce energy costs and will keep your building cool in the summer heat.
Fall – SureSet has been successful in a variety of fall and winter-like conditions. If you’re looking for a cold weather-roofing repair, SureSet is the reliable, quick dry product to have on hand.
There are many features and benefits to white coatings and if you have not started installing coatings yet, it is time you get in and get coating! And when in doubt, do what the song tells you… Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall, all you have to do is call – call SureCoat Systems that is.

Cool Roof Repairs Featured Project
Featured Project of the Month
First Industrial Realty Trust teamed up with JemStar Construction for the February 2012 featured Project of the Month!
Property Location: Scott Avenue, S
anta Clarita, California
Installed By: JemStar Construction Services
Property Manager: Kim Summers
JemStar Construction completed roof repairs for First Industrial’s Scott Avenue property in September, 2011. After inspecting the repairs recently, First Industrial’s roof consultant extended the roof life for an additional four years. JemStar Construction used the SureCoat Roof Extender System to repair and waterproof various penetrations, leaks and problem areas on this roof. SureCoat was used to seal the perimeter of multiple HVAC units to the roof surface, to seal around large roof mount vents and to re-adhere open wall and base flashing. A three layer system of coating, fabric, coating, was applied on lap seams in various areas throughout the roof field and at the perimeter of the roof using SureCoat.
These repairs are now the base for a complete system. They are an investment in a future restoration system rather than temporary repairs, such as those achieved with roof mastics, acrylic and emulsions. Other uses of SureCoat Systems’ products on this roof were for the granule loss on the cap sheet. A combination of SurePrime and matching granules was used to restore these areas.
Kim Summers, property manager at First Industrial Realty Trust, had just recently taken over management of this property. What she found was that several contractors had attempted and failed to stop the roof leaks for this building. The tenant was frustrated because prior to the SureCoat repairs, this building experienced years of roof leaks. Past repairs done with traditional roof patch materials had failed. Kim contracted with JemStar to complete the repairs based on her previous experience with them and JemStar’s reputation to Stop Roof Leaks using SureCoat waterproofing solutions.
When asked about this project Kim stated “JemStar recently completed SureCoat repairs at the penetrations of our roof. Not only was the tenant pleased to no longer have leaks in their warehouse, but in addition, the 3rd party roof consultant moved out the scheduled replacement of the roof by 4 years.”
Many of First Industrial properties are under contract with a roof consultant. These consultants walk each building’s roof annually and write reports to the owners with their recommendation of work to be done, immediate and future repairs that are needed and the overall life expectancy of the roof in its current condition. This allows the property owner the opportunity to get a roof budget in place while staying aware of the current maintenance and repairs that are needed for their buildings.
In the case of this Santa Clarita property, First Industrial’s roof consultant extended the life of this building’s roof in his written report for an additional four years, after he had inspected the SureCoat repairs. Here lies the value in using SureCoat products for permanent roof repairs. These are repairs that can be tied into a fully warranted system when the building owner’s budget allows for it.
