What’s the difference between a roof coating and a full replacement?
A coating (like our PM Certified silicone system) extends the life of a sound existing flat or low-slope roof at a fraction of the cost. A replacement is a full tear-off, needed when the structure or decking is compromised. See the Silicone Roof Coating page for more.
Why does underlayment matter more than the roof I can see?
The roof you see is usually the wear layer. Underlayment is what actually keeps water off the deck, and it is a different product on shingle, metal, and tile. Shingle jobs get a synthetic sheet plus peel-and-stick at eaves and valleys. Metal needs a high-temp underlayment because the panels cook. On tile, the clay is armor; the sheet underneath is the waterproofing. See the Shingle, Metal, and Tile pages for how we spec each one.
