Commercial Roof Repairs

Lester’s Carpentry, an authorized contractor in central Pennsylvania for Conklin Roofing Systems, has been a trusted leader in commercial roof repairs and restoration for over 40 years. Our expertise extends to agricultural, industrial, warehouse, and various commercial buildings, where we utilize acrylic elastomeric coatings to restore existing roofs. This innovative solution ensures a leak-free, weather-resistant, and fire-resistant surface, eliminating the need for time-consuming and costly roof replacements.

To safeguard your roofing investment and maximize its longevity, regular maintenance is crucial. By re-coating your roof multiple times throughout its lifespan, you can extend its performance for up to an additional 40 years. Furthermore, our low-maintenance, white reflective “cool roof” coatings offer proven benefits such as reducing overall utility costs and preventing excessive strain on air conditioning units. Our commercial roof repairs are suitable for a wide range of substrates, including asphalt, built-up roofing (BUR), TPO, PVC, concrete, EPDM, wood, and metal roofing systems.

Eliminates Roof Replacements

In many cases, addressing issues such as leaks, rust, or damage in a roof eventually necessitates a complete roof replacement. This undertaking is not only time-consuming but also comes with a significant financial burden, requiring substantial capital investment. Moreover, the removal and disposal of the old roof and flashing contribute to environmental pollution by filling up landfills. However, there is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative.

By applying acrylic elastomeric coatings to your existing roof surface, you can effectively stop leaks and reinforce flashing. This process involves the application of a durable, energy-efficient, and weatherproof membrane that significantly extends the lifespan of your current roofing system for several decades. As a result, the need for a costly roof replacement becomes virtually eliminated. You can eliminate roof replacements with our commercial roof repairs.

EnergyStar “Cool Roof” Technology

Conklin’s commercial “cool roof” coatings have been designed to meet the stringent guidelines set forth by the EPA EnergyStar program for exceptional energy efficiency. Additionally, our Conklin Benchmark®, Flexion® XL, PUMA® XL, and Rapid Roof® III coatings have been independently rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC). These certifications provide you with the confidence that our commercial roof repairs and restoration coatings’ “cool roof” systems not only enhance your building’s performance but also contribute to the preservation of your local environment.

By reducing energy consumption and minimizing your building’s carbon footprint, our coatings help protect the environment. Their high solar reflectivity, which ranks among the highest in the industry, effectively combats the heat island effect. This means that both the interior and exterior of your building will remain cooler, creating a more comfortable environment while reducing the overall heat load.

Reduces Energy Consumption & Utility Costs

With Conklin’s commercial roof coatings, you can benefit from their exceptional solar reflectivity, reflecting up to 89% of solar radiation and effectively reducing rooftop ambient temperatures by up to 80°F. This significant reduction in heat absorption leads to a cooler roof, resulting in lower indoor temperatures and reduced utility bills.

To illustrate the cost-saving potential, a demonstration conducted by the Florida Solar Energy Center showcased the effectiveness of Conklin’s Benchmark® coating applied to the rooftops of several retail stores during a hot and humid Florida summer. The results showed an average 25% decrease in cooling energy consumption, translating to savings ranging from 13% to 48% for each store.

Furthermore, our Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) and Single-Ply Membrane Roofing Systems incorporate insulation that helps minimize seasonal temperature fluctuations. This insulation provides enhanced thermal efficiency, keeping interior spaces cooler during the summer and warmer during the winter. As a result, you can achieve maximum energy savings throughout the year.
