• Is the material of the roof deteriorating due to moss, mildew, fungus or simply rotting leaves?

• Are the roofing iron and other materials rusting?

You can either scrutinize the roof in details yourself or hire a trained professional to analyze and give you a detailed report.

2. Detect and repair leaks: The next step is to discover and repair any leakage, which are often a result of cracks, blisters, open joints etc. Also, they are caused by excessive moisture, especially at corners.

So, prep up the surface and then coat your rooftop with the help of professional experts. You can opt for a number of methods for coating your roof. Some of these methods are :

• Using sprayers: This is a cost effective method since it requires less labor costs and can be used to coat over several thousand square feet of modern roofing. Moreover, it provides a greater control when it comes to spread rates and finishing effects.

• Brushes: For smaller roofing area, brushes are more efficient. In this method, a large roofing brush is used to apply products on roof materials including rough surfaces as well as areas that are difficult to reach.
