Roof restoration from A-Z

By The Coffee Shops®.

Learn how collaboration, careful assessment and quality installation can turn roof restoration into a long-term asset management solution.

In an upcoming CoatingsTalk™ webinar on November 4 at 11 a.m. PT/2 p.m. ET, host Megan Ellsworth meets with Chris Huettig and Tyson Smith from KARNAK to discuss roof restoration from initial design through final installation, inspection and warranty completion. For building owners and the professionals who advise them, every roof presents a balance of immediate needs and long-term priorities. Active leaks, deteriorated areas and other pressing conditions may require attention now, while budgets and capital plans must also account for the roof’s future. A thoughtfully designed restoration solution can help connect those priorities by
addressing current conditions while supporting a broader roof-management strategy.

Attendees will hear how contractors and specifiers can work together during the planning process. Sharing roof-condition findings, testing results and project documentation helps ensure the specification reflects actual conditions. Clear communication is particularly important when field conditions differ from initial expectations or when repairs and system components must be adjusted before application begins.

Because not every roof is an appropriate restoration candidate, the panel will discuss the information professionals should gather during an initial assessment. That includes the roof’s age and history, existing system, leak history, moisture conditions, previous repairs or coatings, drainage performance and adhesion-testing results. Chris and Tyson will explain how those findings inform system selection and help determine whether primers, reinforcement or other components are necessary.

However, planning is only the beginning. The discussion will follow the project through surface preparation, repairs and coating installation, highlighting application consistency, coverage, weather conditions and ongoing quality-control checks. It will also touch on what should happen during the final inspection and warranty process, including resolving outstanding items, completing required documentation and setting expectations for future inspections and maintenance.

Whether you are a contractor responsible for execution, a specifier developing the restoration plan or a building owner evaluating options for an existing roof, this CoatingsTalk webinar will offer a more complete view of what it takes to move from assessment and design to a successful installation.
