Roof Coatings Repair in San Jose and Surrounding Areas

Roof coatings are materials that can be applied to an existing flat roof to maintain and protect it from deterioration and/or seal it to extend its useful life. All coatings need to be recoated between 5 to 20 years, depending upon the thickness of the application and the quality of the material. The materials can be warranted by the manufacturer for up to 20 years. Contact Eastman Roofing today to ensure your roof coating is maintained and performing at its best.
