Cool Roof
When you have millions of dollars of textiles threatened by numerous roof leaks; when there is no budget for a huge new roof, and potential product damage demands that you cannot wait 5 months until Spring weather – what is one to do?

A COOL ROOF restoration, besides being considerably less costly than a conventional replacement roof, can be done year-round in California. Since there is no dirty, messy, risky, roof removal, a COOL ROOF system can be shoehorned-in between rain storms – with no greater risks than you are experiencing waiting!

The Irony? A COOL ROOF restoration will not only cost less than a new roof, can be installed virtually year-round, but it is a new-technology roof system that can be a lifetime sustainable-roof. Scheduling maintenance coatings every 5-10 years and you can take advantage of a GREEN ROOF Solution: saving money, not adding to shrinking landfill space, not putting good money after bad in old-technology, short-lived, tar-based petroleum roof products.
