Commercial Roof Restoration: Why We Use The Fluid Applied Roofing System to Extend Roof Life

In commercial real estate, one of the largest capital expenses is a new roof. While full roof replacement is sometimes necessary, many commercial roofs can be restored using various roof coatings or a Fluid Applied Roofing System.

The Benefits of Roof Restoration

When working on commercial roof restorations, we prefer using the Fluid Applied Roofing System. This cost-effective solution delivers long-term protection and value without the expense of a full replacement. Its award-winning product, FiberSeal Base, creates a continuous, reinforced membrane across the roof surface. This includes common problem areas such as seams, fasteners, and transitions, where commercial roof leaks often start. By forming a continuous layer, we reduce potential failure points found in many traditional roofing systems. We recently used this product at one of our buildings managed in the Kaloko Light Industrial area, as shown above.

Reinforcement Built Into the Roofing System

The FiberSeal Base fiber-reinforced formulation allows the coating to bridge small gaps and strengthen vulnerable roof areas. This integrated reinforcement creates a consistent, durable base across the entire commercial roofing system and simplifies installation.

Efficient Installation With Less Disruption

Spray-applied and fast-curing, FiberSeal Base can often be installed with less downtime than a full roof replacement. It resists wash-off shortly after application, sometimes within 30 minutes. This helps projects stay on schedule, even in changing weather conditions. For occupied commercial buildings, this means fewer interruptions to tenants’ daily operations.

Cost Savings: Extend Roof Life Without Tear-Off

The FiberSeal Base can be installed over an existing roof that is still structurally sound. This minimizes debris sent to landfills and saves on replacement costs. It is an ideal solution when budgets don’t allow for immediate replacement while still extending the roof’s life. The product comes with warranties ranging from 10 to 20 years.

Energy Performance and Improved Appearance

The FiberSeal Base can lower roof temperatures, improve energy efficiency, and reduce energy costs, particularly in warmer climates like Hawaii. Additionally, it enhances the roof’s appearance, making it a smart choice for property owners.

Proven With Various Roof and Wall Types

The FiberSeal Base performs well on metal, single-ply, asphalt, and other roof types. This versatility allows it to be applied to many surface types rather than defaulting to replacement. It can also be applied to block, metal, and stucco walls, making it a flexible option for various commercial properties.

Long-Term Property Value

Using Fluid Applied Roofing Systems is one of the many ways we strategically help our owners make well-informed, long-term decisions about their commercial buildings. We are always staying up to date with the latest trends in commercial property management. This helps our owners maximize performance, efficiency, and value.
