Elmers Roofing Service

Elmer's Roofing Service

Hortonville, WI

My name is Elmer Dowling from WI. I have been in the roofing business since 1976 and in the last 38 years I have installed most of the roofing systems available in the industry to date. I was introduced to the Conklin roof coating business in 2006 and have been building my roof coatings business ever since.

I started out like most do, with shingles (3-tab, t-locks, Dutch lap, and architecturals) then learned how to install cedar shakes and metal roofing. From there I went on to learn commercial roofing which includes BUR (hot tar) single plys (EPDM, Mod-Bit,TPO's and PVC roofs) and most recently Elastomeric Roof Coatings.

 I am a Trained Conklin Contractor trained in how to correctly install the different coating systems Conklin has to offer.

I choose to install Conklin's Roofing Systems for a couple reasons:
First, they offered training so I would understand what I would be doing. Second they simply manufacture a quality product that has a proven track record for the last 40 years!

Conklin Roofing Systems have been applied to over 2 billion square feet of roofing throughout the United States since 1977.
The Conklin Company provides innovative roofing systems for a wide variety of roofing applications.

Conklin Metal Roof Coating Restoration System (M/R) [+ video]

The metal restoration system's unique combination of liquid-applied base coat, flexible polyester fabric and white reflective elastomeric top coat provides a durable waterproofing system that prevents leaks from ruining more than just your roof.

By using Conklin Energy Star labeled products on a metal roof, you'll lower your surface temperatures by up to 15 degrees and reduce the amount of heat transferred into the building, thus reducing your cooling costs.

How to install a metal roof restoration coating system [+ video]

Watch as Elmer's Roofing Service, a professional Conklin roofing contractor, installs a metal restoration coating system on the rusted metal roof of the All Brands Appliances building in Neenah, Wisconsin.

The roof area is 190 squares. The job was started in the beginning of October of 2010 in Wisconsin, which is somewhat pushing it temperature-wise for a roof coating installation (to find out why, please contact Elmer).

The crew begins by pressure-washing the roof with a cleaning agent, then they install the fabric-reinforced primer over the corrugated metal panels. Then they base coat the horizontal and vertical seams of the panels and seal all the fasteners with caulk. Finally, the crew installed the white reflective top coat.

Elmer also gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the equipment they are using to give you a sense of what is involved with installing metal roof restoration systems (including a gas-powered Graco 733 pump which is hooked up to the drum on the truck which is filled with the Conklin roof coating material, and more).

Conklin foam & coatings repair over metal roof of Boys & Girls Club [+ video]

After a mechanical room fire at the Boys & Girls Club of Pekin, Illinois, one section of the metal roof had collapsed, and the existing foam was blistered from the fire.

Conklin roofing contractors worked quickly to remove the damaged section (including the metal itself), re-install new metal roof panels, spray on new foam, then install Conklin Roofing Systems base coat and white reflective top coat.

Installing a metal restoration roof coating systems vs. re-roofing [+video]

All metal roof owners eventually face problems such as rust, ultraviolet deterioration, photo-oxidizing, and a variety of weather-related damages. Instead of replacing your wearing metal roof, consider that a quality roof coating can keep your existing metal roof safe and secure for years to come.  

Roof leaks can damage more than just the contents of your building. They can weaken the walls and ceilings - jeopardizing the entire structure - as well as ruin insulation, causing your heating and cooling costs to soar. Instead of chasing and patching leaks or even re-roofing, metal roof restoration likely is a viable alternative well worth looking in to.

Restoration coating systems greatly extend the life of your existing metal roof at a fraction of the cost of replacement. They form a strong, protective barrier to prevent rust from forming on steel surfaces. Even where rust has a strong foothold, special anti-corrosion contents act to inhibit further spread of the oxidation process, and heat stress is reduced with the high reflectivity of the coating material.

The preparation for applying coatings over metal is actually fairly minimal. First, any loose scale, peeling paint, and rust are removed. Then the necessary metal repairs are made to prevent further deterioration. Flashings, curbs and other projections are repaired and reinforced, and finally all dirt and debris are removed and the entire surface is cleaned, often by pressure washing with water. A primer is applied before the application of the complete waterproofing system and final top coat.

Because they reflect up to 80% of the sun's ultra-violet rays, metal roof restoration coatings help reduce roof expansion and contraction, and prevent premature deterioration by providing a sacrificial layer to the elements, which helps to increase the servicable life of your metal roof. During summer months the high reflectivity helps to lower your cooling costs, and during winter months reduces the amount of heat emitted at night, ultimately reducing your heating costs.

Since little or no roof membrane is removed during restoration, interruption of building activity is minimized and the reuse of the existing roof not only saves tear-off and disposal costs, but contributes to the reduction of roofing-related landfill waste, which is estimated to be 25% of all landfill content in the United States.

When your metal roof ultimately becomes a rustly, leaky problem for the occupants of your home or commercial building, consider getting a quote from a professional roofing contractor who specializes in metal roof restoration coatings for a more affordable, more energy efficient, more environmentally friendly, more sustainable, and faster-to-install alternative to re-roofing.
