LAR Roof Installation & Repair Services in Tyler, TX
Liquid-applied roofing systems are a relatively new type of roof that is popular with homeowners and businesses with flat or low-sloped roofs.
LAR roofs can be applied over any roof substrate, making it an economical option for property owners when complete replacement isn’t feasible.
This can extend the life of your roof by up to 20 years. If you’re considering LAR, reach out to Modern Roofing & Restoration to speak with a roofing contractor about whether it’s right for your building.
Benefits of LAR Systems
-
Seamless
LAR roof systems are applied as a liquid. This ensures seamless coverage, even around flashing and venting.
-
Cost-Effective
LAR systems are almost always more cost-effective than replacing the entire roof. This makes them an economical option in most cases.
-
Durable
The materials used in LAR systems are resistant to UV rays, ponding water, and other environmental factors.
-
Simple Application
Installing an LAR system is really simple, with large projects often taking no more than a day. This minimizes downtime and disruption.
-
Initial Cure Time
LAR systems require extended curing times, limiting access to the rooftop and requiring planning around seasonal rain.
-
Substrate Dependent
The success of an LAR system depends on the roofing substrate’s condition, proper preparation, and correct installation.
-
Requires Maintenance
LAR systems require periodic inspections to ensure the roofing system remains intact or without significant areas of wear.
-
Shorter Lifespan
Compared to other roofing systems, LAR has a shorter lifespan. It can go over an existing roof structure, extending its life significantly.
-
Inspections
LAR systems need regular inspections to ensure that the membrane remains fully intact around seams, vents, and other high-traffic areas.
-
Blister Repair
Trapped air and moisture can result in “blisters” in the membrane. These will need to be drained, treated, and repaired.
-
Reinforcement
Heavy traffic and exposure to environmental stressors can wear down parts of an LAR system. These will need to be monitored and reinforced.
-
Punctures & Tears
Extreme weather and debris can puncture an LAR system. Post-storm inspections and damage repair are essential maintenance tasks.
