Why Coat Your Roof? More Than Just a New Color.
A Shieldcoat Thermobond IR roof coating does far more than transform the visual look of your home. It is a smart investment that helps keep your home cooler, protected, and looking great for years to come.
IR Heat Reflection
Reflects solar heat away from the roof, helping reduce heat absorbed by the building.
Potential Energy Savings
A cooler roof can reduce the workload on your air conditioner, potentially helping lower electricity bills during hot weather.
Extend Roof Life
Adds a durable protective coating to help protect the existing roof system and extend its service life.
Roof Tune Up
An opportunity to inspect, clean, repair, and restore the roof before small issues become expensive problems.
Added Weather Protection
Provides an additional protective layer against sun, driving rain, and Southern California climate extremes.
Reduce Heat Build Up
Helps keep the roof surface significantly cooler compared with an uncoated dark roof.
Delay Roof Replacement
Where the existing roof is suitable for restoration, coating can postpone the massive expense of a full tear off.
Restore Instead of Replace
Give an existing roof a brand new lease on life rather than automatically tearing off and replacing it.
Change the Color
Completely transform the appearance of your home without replacing a single roof tile or shingle.
Improve Curb Appeal
A fresh roof makes an immediate, dramatic difference to the overall beauty and architectural presence of your home.
Improve Property Presentation
Particularly valuable when renovating or preparing a home for sale to maximize buyer impression and valuation.
Preventative Maintenance
Investing in the roof now helps address deterioration before it turns into a much larger repair bill.
