COMMERCIAL ROOFS

Restore before you replace.

  • Defer tear-off capital by restoring qualifying roofs instead of replacing them.
  • Less heat into the building and less load on cooling.
  • No tear-off, no landfill, less disruption to operations.
  • Systems for EPDM, TPO, PVC, built-up, mod-bit, metal and SPF roofs, plus winter leak repair.
  • Roof condition survey with photos and a written restore, repair or replace recommendation.
INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT · NANOGUARD COOL TOUCH

Hot surfaces, cold lines, hidden corrosion.

  • Burn protection on steam lines, boilers, tanks and valves.
  • Insulates at the surface: thermal conductivity 0.056 W/m·K (ASTM C518).
  • Condensation control on chilled-water, glycol and refrigeration lines.
  • Bonded directly to the steel: no jacket seams for moisture to get behind.
  • Conforms to valves, flanges and complex equipment.

Forest Hill: restored, not replaced.

Aged black EPDM, cleaned, adhesion-tested, primed and finished in two measured coats. Every coat checked with a wet-mil gauge and photographed.

Why NanoGuard exists.

After 25 years in Ontario construction and home services, Miguel Baptista kept seeing sound roofs replaced too early. NanoGuard brings advanced coatings from the manufacturers that developed them onto Canadian roofs and buildings, with a crew, a process and documentation behind every job.

Questions we hear most.

Yes. We restore EPDM, TPO, modified bitumen and metal roofs with NanoTech Materials' Cool Roof Coating System, starting with a Restore-or-Replace Review.

It's a condition call, not an age call. The assessment checks the membrane, moisture and adhesion. If the roof isn't a candidate, we'll tell you and recommend repair or replacement.

NanoGuard's residential treatments are $2.00 per square foot of actual roof area for one coat and $3.00 for two coats. Steep (non-walkable) or hard-to-access roofs add a flat $500. The final price is confirmed at a free roof check, and taxes are extra.

Manufacturer testing projects up to about 15 additional years for newer roofs treated with Fortify and about 5 to 10 years for aging roofs treated with Revive. These are projections from testing, not guarantees.

Sound asphalt-shingle roofs. Metal, tile, slate and cedar roofs, roofs with active leaks, and roofs at the end of their life don't qualify, and we'll tell you if replacement is the right call.
