THINGS THE CUSTOMER
SHOULD KNOW & THE QUESTIONS THE CUSTOMER SHOULD ASK WHEN CONSIDERING
PURCHASING AN ADVERTISED ROOF WEATHERPROOFING PAINT SEALANT SYSTEM
WARNING
If any contractor advertises they are a participating contractor,
they use FPL Energy Star rated products, the products they install
are FPL Star rated and they state that you get 50 cents per square
foot rebate.
Translation is, all the programs listed in and above were designed
to encourage the public to help conserve energy consumption and we
applaud their efforts ,some of these benefits are for example having
your roof painted white are obvious ,it saves on cooling costs by
lowering demand for the electric to run your ac ,saves on ac repairs
since your ac systems are not under as much stress, using products
like elastomerics is also important because you want it to perform
as long as possible, getting paid to do this is even better, right.
Be careful here many of the offers we have examined are selling the
sizzle not the steak.
FACTS:
1. If the contractor is a partner ,the REBATE CHECK comes to the
contracting firm not the homeowner any other transaction is
unlawful, no roof contractor gives anyone 50 cents per sq ft to work
on your roof , price/mark up /mark down to where they needed to be
AS THE RULE not the exception.
2. The pressure cleaning and application of white paints or
elastomerics DOES NOT add wind lift strength ON TILE ROOFS to any
substantial levels and the ONLY TEST THAT PROVES that is the Dade
County State of Florida approved TAS-106. after the job is completed
to demonstrate that the tile are permanently locked down and can
resist real hurricane force winds and projectiles
Up-Lift Test Video
3. By applying a paint or elastomerics DOES NOT make your roof
seamless or monolithic at all points and by itself is not a multi
layered system, is not able to stop leaks ,unless they are dug out
and dried back in with conventional methods., ONLY EXCEPTION if they
are actually installing a monolithic hard coat over every sq inch of
the surface of the roof first APPLYING SEVERAL thick layers of
coatings over a several days
See How It's Done
4. The to be a FPL partner or have your product Energy Star rated
does not require sufficient detailed evidence AND VERIFICATION of
documentation from the contractors installation work actually
undertaken or the manufacturers records that any roofs were
installed with their products on them for no less than a 3 year
period, prior to a slit sample removal of the weathered product and
supposed jobsite in question
CONCLUSION
NOTE: OUR PRODUCT IS being submitted with the additional
documentation and we will continue to endeavor to present the
steak, not the sizzle.
Additional Questions
The Customer Should Ask
How long has the company been in business?
Do they specialize in roof painting and waterproofing?
Do they have the required license and insurance?
Does the contractor have verifiable roof references over five
years/over 10 years in his or her actual name? How many times have
they been cleaned/repainted and at what cost?
What products are being used (within South Florida)?
Dade County Approved means it more likely to fail in apx 2 to 3
years these products saturate after prolonged exposure to the
elements In most instances severe blistering accrues after the first
six months.
Sandstone (out of FL) N/A Roof Coat Mfg.
Eternalastic N/A
Tapco - Sebs Dade Cty approved Roof Coat Mfg.
Sealoflex (out of Fl) Dade Cty approved Roof Coat
Acrylux N/A Paint Mfg.
Acrytec N/A Paint Mfg.
Great White (out of FL) Dade Cty approved Roof Coat Mfg.
United Coatings (out of FL) Dade Cty approved Roof Coat Mfg.
General Electrics G.E. Silicon Government owns Roof Coat Home
Depot’s Silicones & Roof Coating products N/A (All absolutely bad
news)
Roofprotect manufactured by All Surface Restorations & Preservations
inc. Roof Coat Mfg.
Only one can be submerged under water for prolonged periods without
subsequent damage due to saturation to the coating, providing it is
installed properly over the surface it’s being applied to and
maintained with minimum amount of maintenance/or re-top coating.
FACT:
1. The complete Roof Shield System utilizing Roofprotect products is
the only tile coating process to have a wind lift tested strength
rating results of 100lbs of lift resistance and greater, which is =
to 300 to 600 mph wind pressures, another words the roof will come
off at the hip before the tile are breached
2 .All Surface Restorations & Preservations Inc. manufactured &
installed the Roof Shield System utilizing Roofprotect products on
all of jobsites listed on its references pages and holds the
original contracts for the those jobsite testimonials,
3. The only company that warrantees the exiting roof tile attachment
to a cat 5 after the Roof Shield System utilizing Roofprotect
products are applied to an exiting older cement tile, shingle,
barrel tile roof.
4. Roofprotect roof acrylic coating that has a zero blistering test
results after cure in prolonged submersion in water and the in the
field o saturation documented on long term projects.
5. Lloyds of London has acknowledged the Roof Shield System and
Roofprotect products for product liability, so the entire process is
not contingent to claims loss reimbursement if the system should
fail, it is backed by Lloyds of London insurance for its stated
performance criteria completely.
Do you know how to calculate the rate at which any Elastomeric
should be applied, assuming if it is a real resin through acrylic
rubber? (in other words, how much product shows up at the job?)
It depends on the manufacturers specifications. Did the contractor
put enough product on. Will the thickness of the coating be subject
to a slit sampling to make sure?
Do you have their data sheet to calculate the required coverage
ratio for thickness of the coatings?
Are they a paint manufacturer selling roof coatings without a roof
leak free warrantee?
Are they a roof waterproof coating manufacturer who also sells paint
that has to be applied to their waterproofing?
FACT:
Generally most elastomerics were never designed to be waterproofing
roofs anyway, only walls that's because they hold a percentage of
h2o in its film thickness every time it rains. This type of product
is to be applied at a minimum of 100 sq.ft.’ per gallon, two coats
are applied to arrive at no less than 8 dry mills per coat. Also
water barrier elastomerics require a third paint coat to protect it
from damage from weathering, protect the protectant doesn’t make
much sense if they are waterproof or a weatherproof roof coating
system and product to begin with then additional coats should be
very suspect.
FACT:
1. Acrytech & Acrylics are manufactures of paints and elastomerics
in Broward County. Acrylux within the last couple of years took the
word waterproofing off of their labels, they also had their own
installing crews and now state a leak warrantee is not to be
supplied by the manufacturer.
2. Acrytech is a paint manufacturer who also makes elastomerics.
They state a leak warrantee is not to be supplied by the
manufacturer.
3. Somay in Dade County makes a wide range of elastomerics. They
recommend certain contractors but do not state a leak free warrantee
for roofs can be supplied by them, if they don't install it
themselves, which they cannot since they are a manufacturer and not
a contractor.
4. Home Depot, Lowes and other roof coating & paint suppliers have
no ability to supply any guarantees whatsoever with regards to the
roof coating products they sell, primarily because they are not
designed to have the characteristics required to provide any long
term waterproofing or weatherproofing capability's.
5. All of these roof coating and paint manufactures listed in and
above do not have any wind lift strength ratings on their products
for tile roofs. Furthermore our company All Surface Restorations and
Preservations Inc. is the only contracting & manufacturing firm that
has the side by side still photo's & video footage of real case
history local results) as well as the original contracts of the
those specific property's dated & documented before the recent
hurricanes :
for example all the houses on the street missing roof tiles except
the homes that had our Roof Shield System installed on it documented
years prior to the advent of real hurricane force winds. On our site
there are several commercial & residential shingle, cement tile,
barrel tile, metal & flat built up roofs jobs with the name address
and phone number throughout Broward and Palm Beach County that have
this verification capability.
FACT:
The other elastomeric manufacturers listed sell water barrier
systems and products meaning not truly waterproof or weatherproof.
Conversely real waterproof products are 100% resin, no clay or water
is added.
Real weatherproof products and systems have an additional hard
coating proven tested to strengthen the exiting roof system by being
all points monolithic and seamless.
The typical elastomerics softer top coatings cannot be left in
standing water for prolonged periods without saturation accruing.
Elastomerics are generally known as water barriers (or expensive
roof painting jobs as we refer to them) require more maintenance
such as recoating every 3 to 5 years, If not properly maintained
will fail completely .Weatherproof products require little or no
maintenance for 10 years or more. Make sure that anyone making high
performance claims can prove it is really a waterproof or a
weatherproof system or product to begin with.
Do you know what a real system warrantee looks like? First of all it
should be renewable & transferable to another owner if that time
comes. It should say two words: LEAK FREE for years. The
manufacturer & contractor must also state GUARANTEE with the exact
same language otherwise good luck, another words one could simply
blame the other for failure of their system or product. Always get a
copy of the warrantee and data sheet of the products being used and
determine if they are both on it or not.
NOTE: Did the contractor measure your roof correctly? If they
did not it could be a costly mistake for all concerned. The
contractor shorted himself; then the customer does not get the
correct amount of products installed on the roof to begin with.
Remember the formula: 100 sq.ft’ per gallon per coat minimum. If the
products are not all resin acrylic and can be proven as such we
wouldn't suggest you use them in any case.
Roofprotect is applied at 90 sq.ft.’ per gallon per coat and does
not have to be painted. It is a finished product gloss resin all the
way through, water cannot pass through once our formula is cured
For the complete Roof Shield System we apply our proprietary hard
coat before the Roofprotect coating to make the tile roof completely
seamless and wind resistant, or is it a competitor using caulk
between the joints, or white portland. Does It have proven testing
in the real life field of 7 years or more? or just a job that the
contractor said he or she did recently that has know hard copy data
proof from the manufacturer that their products are on that roof.
Thank you for allowing me to present to you the roof weatherproof
paint sealant system for your home. I have included above disclosed
information that should be helpful in making an informed decision
about the specific nature of the type of work you are considering to
be undertaken and what should be expected
