Coated to Protect
Is your roof showing its age? Is it covered in moss and algae? Are there rust stains on it? Is it starting to get a weather-beaten look? If you responded with yes to these questions, you need to have your roof thoroughly inspected. And if it is showing signs of damage, it is time to invest in its restoration. If you are ready to get your roof painted, you need to make sure that you are getting the right service. To help you get started, here are several questions to ask the roof coating contractor before you agree to pay them.
How long have you been in business?
In business for a long time does not always mean that they are a good company. While their longevity in the industry can give you a big window of opportunity to ask them questions and decide if they are the right company for you, it can also be a reason to stay away from them. It could mean they are in the middle of a management transition and it is likely they are not doing well financially.
What kind of paint do you use?
Your roof’s coating is not the same. One of the biggest differences between a roof coating and other types of paint is the surface preparation for the installation. Roof coatings need to be applied to smooth, clean surfaces that have no texture or erroneous bumps or textures before they can be installed.
Can you show me some of your former work?
Before you agree to do business with a coating contractor, you should ask them for work samples. You should also ask them for examples of projects that they have done in the past. If they are able to show you a variety of recent and older projects, it means that they have the skills and experience you need for the project you have ahead of you.
