Cost Analysis


"The Weathercoat, Inc. personnel and system have met and exceeded expectations here at Burton and Burton. Weathercoat has completed four contracts with us in the past two years, exceeding 200,000 sq. ft. ahead of schedule on each."

Roof Restoration versus Roof Replacement: Weathercoat's Roof Coating System is typically much less expensive than roof replacement. Plus, the cost of the Weathercoat System can pay for itself through energy cost reductions over time.
  • Most roof membrane failures occur at tears or splits at stress points such as those located around flashings, edges and building addition/construction joints. Large-scale roofing failure is rare. Many roofs are replaced before their time, wasting money.

  • Modern polymer roof coating systems like Weathercoat's are engineered to restore roof membranes to their original condition at costs of less than half that of roof replacement. Simple single ply membrane installations are typically priced at twice the cost per square foot of Weathercoat's Roof Coating System. Metal roof replacement can be up to four times the cost of a restoration.

  • Reflective white roof coating systems can reduce cooling costs up to 50%. Return on Invesment (ROI) in the 30% range is normal when roof reflection is increased and energy costs are decreased.

  • Weathercoat's bright white elastomeric coating reflects up to 90% of the sun's heat and UV rays away from the roof's surface, greatly reducing the conductive heat transfer between the roof's surface and the building's interior air. This can result in dramatic energy savings. Actual cooling cost savings of more than 20% and up to 50% have been well documented by the EPA and other agencies.
