Pro Tips
- **Climate Considerations**: Choose coatings appropriate for your climate - hot climates need reflective coatings, cold climates need flexible systems.
- **Surface Preparation**: Proper preparation is critical - clean, repair, and prime all surfaces before coating application.
- **Weather Timing**: Apply coatings only in suitable weather - avoid rain, high humidity, extreme temperatures, or high winds.
- **Energy Efficiency**: Consider cool roof coatings for energy savings and potential utility rebates.
- **Safety First**: Roof work is dangerous - use proper fall protection and safety equipment.
- **Quality Materials**: Invest in quality coatings - roof replacement costs far exceed coating costs.
- **Professional Application**: Roof coating requires specialized knowledge - use experienced roofing contractors.
