Why Roofmasters’ licensed team matters
Only licensed membrane and butynol applicators can activate product warranties. Our technicians hold current certifications for WaiSeal Pro, Butynol, and TPO/PVC membranes, ensuring your repair lasts.
When repair becomes reroofing
If over 25–30% of your membrane surface has failed, reroofing may be more cost-effective. Roofmasters can assess and provide both repair and reroofing options.
