Our roofing experts will assess your home’s needs and recommend the best option based on your budget, climate, and aesthetic preferences. We focus on ensuring that your new roof not only looks great but also provides lasting protection.
Roof Repair : Living in Los Angeles, homeowners are exposed to varying weather conditions that can wear down roofing materials over time. Whether you’re dealing with minor leaks or significant storm damage, UM GENERAL INC. specializes in roof repair services that will restore the integrity of your roof. Common roofing issues we address include:
Leaks and Water Damage: From small leaks to major water infiltration, we can locate and repair the source to prevent further damage.
Shingle Replacement: Over time, shingles can crack, curl, or fall off due to wind, heat, or age. We can replace damaged shingles to restore your roof’s appearance and performance.
Flashing Repairs: Properly installed flashing is essential for preventing leaks around chimneys, vents, and skylights. If your flashing is damaged or improperly installed, we can fix it.
Silicon Roofing
For homeowners looking to improve their roof’s energy efficiency and durability, silicon roofing is a fantastic solution. Silicon roofing is a type of roof coating that provides several benefits, especially in hot climates like Los Angeles. Here’s why you should consider this option:
Durability and Longevity
- Weather-Resistant: Silicone roofing is designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, including heavy rain, strong winds, snow, and intense sunlight. Whether it’s a residential home or a commercial building, the roof stays intact and performs well over time.
- UV Resistance: Silicone roofs are highly resistant to UV damage, maintaining their strength and flexibility even after years of exposure to the sun. This is ideal for both homes and businesses in sunny climates.
- Elasticity: Silicone roofing can expand and contract with changing temperatures, reducing the risk of cracks, tears, or leaks that could affect both residential and commercial roofs.
Waterproofing
- Leak Protection: Silicone forms a seamless, waterproof barrier, making it excellent for preventing leaks. This is especially beneficial for flat or low- slope roofs found on many commercial buildings as well as modern residential homes.
- Handles Ponding Water: Silicone is effective in preventing leaks even in areas where water tends to pool, a common issue on flat roofs. This feature is important for homes and businesses alike, as standing water can lead to costly water damage.
Low Maintenance
- Minimal Upkeep: Once installed, silicone roofs require very little maintenance. They are resistant to dirt, mold, and mildew, which means homeowners and business owners can enjoy fewer cleanings and repairs over the lifespan of the roof.
- Long-Lasting Performance: Silicone roofs often come with warranties of 20 years or more, providing peace of mind for both residential and commercial property owners who want a roof that will last with minimal intervention.
Energy Efficiency
- Reflects Heat: Silicone roofing reflects sunlight, reducing heat absorption into the building. This makes it a great choice for both homes and businesses, lowering energy consumption and cooling costs during hot months.
- Cool Roof Benefits: Many silicone coatings are classified as “cool roofs,” which are designed to keep buildings cooler in the summer, reducing the need for air conditioning and helping to cut energy bills for both residential and commercial properties.
Environmentally Friendly
- Sustainable Option: Silicone can be applied over an existing roof, reducing the need for tear-offs and minimizing waste. This is an eco-friendly choice for homeowners and businesses looking to reduce their environmental footprint.
- VOC-Free Options: Silicone roofing systems often contain low or no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them a healthier and more environmentally friendly option for residential and commercial buildings.
Cost-Effective
- No Roof Removal Needed: In some cases, for both homes and commercial properties, the ability to apply silicone over an existing roof eliminates the need for costly tear-offs and in many cases to eliminate the need of removal and re-installation of the HVAC systems and some other roof obstacles. This results in significant cost savings.
- Extends Roof Life: Applying a silicone coating can extend the life of an existing roof, whether on a home or a commercial building, reducing the need for a full replacement and providing long-term cost efficiency.
Chemical Resistance
- Tough on Harsh Elements: Silicone roofing resists damage from chemicals, making it a smart choice for residential areas prone to environmental pollutants as well as commercial or industrial spaces exposed to chemicals or harsh substances.
- Mold and Mildew Resistance: Silicone does not support the growth of mold or mildew, which is beneficial for both homes and commercial properties located in humid or rainy environments.
Easy and Quick Installation
- Quick Application: Whether it’s a home or a commercial building, silicone roofing can be applied quickly and easily, minimizing labor costs and disruption to daily life or business operations.
- Less Downtime: For commercial properties, this means less disruption to business activities, and for homes, it means faster project completion, allowing families to return to their routine sooner.
Fire Resistance
- Fire-Resistant Qualities: Many silicone roofing systems offer fire-resistant properties, adding an extra layer of safety and protection for both homes and commercial buildings.
- Compliance with Safety Standards: Silicone roofing often meets or exceeds safety codes, providing added security for residential and commercial property owners.
Silicone roofing is a versatile and high-performing option, offering key benefits that are valuable in both residential and commercial applications. Whether protecting a family home or a large commercial space, silicone roofing delivers superior waterproofing, energy efficiency, durability, and cost savings, making it a
smart choice for property owners across the board. Our team has extensive experience with silicon roofing applications, ensuring a flawless installation that enhances the performance and longevity of your roof.
