Some of the materials we use combined with techniques acquired from many years of experience allow us to repair what many would not be able to. Self-adhering roofing membranes and elastomeric coatings are two materials that are available today that have expanded the capabilities of today’s roof repair technician. Self adhering roofing membranes installed beneath shingles allows for a number of potential applications which gives the technician the ability to attack a variety of leaks on asphalt shingled roofing. Elastomeric coatings 9 (I prefer GAF) that expand and contract with varying temperatures throughout the year are also available which have a variety of applications in the repair and maintenance of low pitch and flat roofs.
