Flat commercial roofs are under assault every day of the year from weather-related issues such as windborne debris, precipitation, and solar radiation. Left unaddressed, these hazards can take years off your roof’s lifespan and inflict costly damage on the building itself.

One of the best ways to protect your commercial structure from the elements is with Premiere Roofing & Gutters’ flat roof coating options. These products provide excellent coverage, quick drying times, and proven resilience against Mother Nature.

We install five different types of flat roof coating products in addition to our other commercial roof coatings. Our flat roof coating products include Puma® XL, Benchmark®, Rapid Roof® III, Rapid Roof® HV, and Affinity™. All are made by the Conklin Company, the industry leader in reliable, effective waterproofing solutions.

After

Preparing Your Building for Commercial Flat Roof Coatings

We’ll prepare your roof for its new coating by removing any materials that may interfere with adhesion. These include dirt, moisture, grease, and other contaminants.

Once this step is complete, we’ll apply the number of coats needed to achieve comprehensive and lasting coverage. Full installation typically takes one working day or less. You’ll have the opportunity to inspect the roof after the job is complete.
