Warranty & Renewability
A warranty that can start over.
Most roof warranties count down to zero and then you buy a new roof. A FlexKote warranty can be renewed at each re-coat, for as long as the deck is sound.
What triggers a renewed warranty
- An inspection near the end of the current term, documenting the coating's condition.
- Any localized repairs — seams, penetrations, flashings — brought back to spec.
- A full re-coat of the roof surface at the specified rate.
- Sign-off on the completed work, which issues the new term.
How long renewed terms run
Original terms typically run 10 to 14 years depending on the roof, the coating thickness specified, and the condition of the substrate. Renewed terms generally match the original — a 10-year roof renewed at year ten carries another 10-year term.
There is no cap on the number of renewals. Buildings we coated in the late 1980s are on their third and fourth cycles.
The math
Why renewal beats replacement on cost.
A tear-off is a large capital expense that resets to zero and repeats. A renewal is a smaller, predictable maintenance expense on a known schedule.
No tear-off
You are not paying to remove and landfill the roof you already bought. Prep and coating replace demolition entirely.
No downtime
Tenants stay, production runs, classes meet. There is no cost of lost operations buried in the project.
Budgetable cycles
Renewal lands in an operating budget instead of a capital request, and the timing is known years ahead.
