ArmorGuard Spray Foam & Roofing Overview
ArmorGuard offers innovative roof coating solutions for commercial and residential buildings. We specialize in energy-efficient, cost-effective, and leak-resistant coatings that protect and extend the life of roofs.
Benefits of ArmorGuard Coatings
Our roof coatings provide numerous advantages for property owners. They create a seamless, waterproof barrier that prevents leaks and moisture damage. The reflective properties of our coatings reduce heat absorption, lowering cooling costs and improving energy efficiency.
ArmorGuard coatings are highly durable and resistant to UV rays, chemicals, and weathering. This extends the lifespan of roofs and delays the need for costly replacements. Our products are also environmentally friendly, containing low VOCs and reducing landfill waste from roof tear-offs.
Application is quick and non-disruptive, allowing buildings to remain operational during the process. The lightweight nature of our coatings doesn’t add significant structural stress to the roof.
Application Process
We begin with a thorough roof inspection and cleaning to ensure proper adhesion. Any necessary repairs are made before coating application. Our team then applies the coating using specialized spray equipment for even coverage.
Multiple layers are applied to achieve the desired thickness and protection. We carefully monitor weather conditions to ensure optimal curing. The entire process typically takes just a few days, depending on the roof size and complexity.
After application, we conduct a final inspection to verify coating integrity and performance. Our coatings are backed by comprehensive warranties for long-term peace of mind.
Considerations for Southern Illinois Climate
Southern Illinois experiences hot summers, cold winters, and significant precipitation throughout the year. These unique climate conditions impact roofing choices and performance.
Weather Resiliency
Southern Illinois faces diverse weather challenges. Summers bring intense heat and humidity, while winters can bring ice and snow. Spring and fall often see heavy rainfall and occasional severe storms.
We recommend roof coatings that can withstand temperature extremes and moisture exposure. Elastomeric coatings offer excellent flexibility, expanding and contracting with temperature changes without cracking. This property is crucial for maintaining a watertight seal year-round.
For hail protection, impact-resistant coatings provide an extra layer of defense. These products incorporate special additives or reinforcing fibers to enhance durability against falling debris and hailstones.
Energy Efficiency
Roof coatings play a vital role in managing energy costs in Southern Illinois’ variable climate. Cool roof coatings reflect sunlight and emit absorbed heat, reducing cooling needs in summer.
We suggest light-colored or reflective coatings for maximum energy savings. These products can lower roof surface temperatures by up to 50°F compared to traditional dark roofs. This reduction in heat absorption translates to lower air conditioning costs and improved indoor comfort.
In winter, proper insulation becomes crucial. Spray foam roofing systems offer excellent insulation properties, helping retain heat and reduce heating costs. When combined with reflective top coatings, these systems provide year-round energy efficiency benefits.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Many believe spray foam roofing is only for flat roofs, but it works well on various roof types. Some worry it’s not durable, yet properly applied foam roofing can last 20+ years with minimal maintenance.
Another myth is that foam roofing is expensive. While upfront costs may be higher, long-term savings on energy and repairs often make it cost-effective.
Yes, you can walk on a spray foam roof once it’s fully cured. The foam creates a durable, seamless surface that distributes weight evenly. Regular foot traffic for maintenance is fine.
We recommend using walkway pads in high-traffic areas to prevent wear. Avoid sharp objects that could puncture the coating.
Southern Illinois experiences hot summers and cold winters, which foam roofing handles well. The material expands and contracts with temperature changes without cracking.
UV rays can degrade foam over time, so we apply protective coatings. These coatings also help resist damage from hail and wind-driven debris common in the region.
Foam roofs need minimal maintenance. We recommend annual inspections to check for any damage or wear to the protective coating.
Reapplying the top coating every 10-15 years helps maintain UV protection and waterproofing. Clean the roof periodically to remove debris and prevent ponding water.
Spray foam provides excellent insulation, reducing heat transfer through the roof. This can lower cooling costs in summer and heating costs in winter.
The seamless nature of foam roofing eliminates air leaks, further improving energy efficiency. Reflective coatings can be added to reduce heat absorption, enhancing the cooling effect.
