Is your "shiny" roof hiding a rotted deck? đź’¸
​The HVAC Unit with the cracked silver coating
​Property Managers: Don’t let a coat of silver paint fool you.
​We recently inspected this commercial torch-on roof . From a distance, that reflective coating looks like maintenance. Up close? It’s a disaster waiting to happen.
​Why this "repair" is a liability:
​The Alligator Effect: Look at those cracks. That silver coating is brittle and "alligatoring." It’s cracking because the torch-on membrane underneath is saturated and moving.
​The Moisture Trap: Water is seeping into those cracks and sitting against the cap sheet 24/7. It’s not reflecting water—it’s holding it.
​Hidden Rot: By the time you see a leak inside the building, the insulation and roof deck are already soaked and rotting.
​The Amateur Way: Slap on more silver paint and hope it doesn't rain.
The Humble Way: Strip the failed coating, prep the membrane, and torch in a professional tie-in that actually bonds.
​Stop painting over your problems. If your roof looks like a cracked desert, it’s already failing.
