Roof Restoration
Using Weather Stop to restore a roof involves the proper application of a liquid-applied, high-solids coating system over your building's existing roof, extending the roof's life with warranties of up to 20 years. Weather Stop can also use Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) as an effective substrate for the high-solids coating when needed.

Restoration with a High-Solids Coating
- Cost Effective - Cost as low as 25% of a completely new roof.
- Decreased Roof Maintenance - A restored roof will no longer need the constant chasing and patching of roof leaks.
- Practical - With 0 seams, the likelihood of a leak is very low.
- Sustainable - Low voc products and when replacing a roof, all the old roofing materials add a considerable amount to landfills
- Long Lasting - A restored roof simply needs to be cleaned and recoated to extend the warranty.
- Low Disrupting Application - Because the roof is only being restored and not replaced there is very low disturbance to the work flow inside the building.
Numbers to Consider
|
Save up to $0.50 per square
foot annually on energy bills! |
88% of UV rays are reflected compared
to 17% with traditional roofing systems! |
The roof being 60 degrees cooler on
hot summer months can save up to 20% on monthly energy bills! |

The picture to the left shows an older roof with thousands of feet of seams that breakdown over time and allow leaks.
The above picture is the same roof with a seamless spray foam and high solids coating roof system installed over the old roof. A spray foamed roof keeps the building warmer in the winter and the white coating keeps the building much cooler in the summer all while providing a seamless water tight roof! |
Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF)
- Effective Substrate - monolithic roofing system, therefore does not contain seams that often allow water and air to pass through
- Grade-A Insulation - has one of the highest-rated R-Values; provides a barrier that is resistant to thermal, air, and moisture
- Great Versatility and Flexibility - can be applied to many different substrates in addition to being able to withstand normal expansion and contraction without affecting structure's protection from outside elements
- Watertight - composed of microscopic molecules that create a membrane resistant to moisture and air
(pictured above) A roofing-grade spray foam was first installed around the penetrations on this coffee shop's roof restoration, creating a very effective, water tight base for the high solids coatings.

Step one in any roofing project is making sure the roof structure is in good condition and with the help of thermal technology, find any water that is siting between the roofs layers.

Spray Foam Roofs : Strong And Durable
According to Mason Knowles applying a spray polyurethane foam (SPF) roofing system can improve a buildings strength and and effective lifespan that can exceed 30 years.
Why spray foam.org states "Because SPF conforms and adheres to the surface which it is sprayed, a strong bond forms to protect the roof. The layer of spray foam is seamless and self-flashing, which can eliminate the ability of water to seep through weak spots, such as fasteners and seams.

Roofing grade spray foam and high solids coatings are a great way to fix leaking areas without the need of a full replacement.
Best Roof For High Winds & Flying Debris During Storms
During a storm high winds can get under single ply roofing products, peeling back large sections or causing seams to come apart allowing water damage to accrue inside the building. Because SPF bonds to the surface of the roof it is extremely resistant to wind uplift and unless punctured all the way through, damaged areas will keep water from entering the building until the roof can be repaired. Here is a article that has a lot of good information on this topic from Spray Foam Magazine.
