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
Respectfully yours,
