1. Foam Roofing
Spray Polyurethane Foam Roofing
Foam Turns from a Liquid to a Solid Monolithic Protective Roof Shell
Polyurethane Foam has a history of more than 35 years as a maintainable roofing medium. Polyurethane Foam adds excellent insulation value to the structure and your utility bills
will reflect the difference.
The SPF Foam Roof System received the highest marks for life cycle, maintenance, sustainability, energy efficiency and highest return on investment.
Sprayed Polyurethane Foam is applied as a liquid using plural-component spray equipment to fill cracks and crevices. It then expands approximately 30 times its original liquid
volume to form a hard, closed cell monolithic roof surface.
The Polyurethane Foam dries within seconds after applied to the roof surface. Its expansion results in a weather-tight roofing membrane that is fully adhered to the substrate.
Because polyurethane is lightweight it adds little additional weight to the structure and is often used in remedial applications.
Cool Roof Ratings
Our Spray Polyurethane roofs receive recognition by The Cool Roof Rating Council. As an independent, non-profit organization that maintains a third-
party rating system. They determine "coolness" by measuring both solar reflectance and thermal emittance. Our SPF roofs refract up to 90% of the suns
rays, making it a "Cool Roof".
Spray Polyurethane Foam offers the highest thermal resistance “R Value” of any conventional insulation or roofing material. When applied above the
substrate, this roofing system reduces thermal expansion, contractions, and helps eliminate underside condensation, thereby eliminating thermal shorts.
Thermal shorts come from screws and nails that are used to fasten down traditional roofs that protrude through the roofing membrane and decking.
Seal Against Moisture
Spray Foam Roofing Systems form a seamless bond to the substrate whether it is horizontal or vertical. There are no seams to leak or allow water to travel lateral through the
system. If a leak does occur it is much easier to locate than an old fashioned roof.

3. Shingle Roofing
We Repair and Replace your Old Shingle Roof
with Four Layers of Protection
There are numerous contractors willing to replace your old roof, but most contractors don't have the skill or the pride to do the job right. We examine the decking, underlayment,
flashing and ventilation to make sure we don't miss any problem areas. We even take it a step further by applying four layers of protection to your new roof to keep water leaks
away.
Decking
Most contractors don’t remove underlayment in order to inspect the wood decking. We, however, take the extra step to inspect the entire roof decking for overall strength and
integrity to securely hold the nails and shingles.
Flashing
Flashing is where most leaks occur. Many contractors give a minimum amount of attention to these areas. We recognize these areas to be the most important places to prevent
water leaks. We apply a superior flashing sealant like Rescue 911 for the best protection possible. Additionally we take the extra step of painting visible flashing to match the color
of the roof. With all these steps, you will have a leak-free, beautiful roof.
Underlayment
Without proper installation of underlayment your decking will be exposed to moisture that will cause your decking to become soft and appear wavy. This can also cause the
shingles to crack and deteriorate more quickly. We only use plastic caps to install underlayment. We also use Valley Fast or Ice and Water shield in the valley giving protection like
no other valley product. Although it is not a visible component, it serves a very important purpose.
Ventilation
Improper ventilation of your attic will cause high temperatures that will void the manufacturer’s warranty. High temperature may even cause damage to the structure of your house
and exterior paint. It can even cause your roof to lose half its life due to premature shingle damage. It is essential that we do an analysis of current ventilation and give you the
specified amount of heat releasing vents required to maintain your manufacturer’s warranty.

Energy Star Qualified
ENERGY STAR qualified roof coating products reduce the amount of air conditioning needed in buildings, and can reduce energy bills by up to 50%. The Cool Roof Program
defines certain standards for reflectivity, and maintenance of reflectivity in roof coating systems. These light colored roof coatings reflect the suns heat and UV rays and often
lower the temperature of the roof by up to 100 degrees.
