I can only rate the customer service and quick delivery. I have to wait until it is 60degrees again to apply
Easy to apply and looks great. Bought to add a fresh coat on top of what was done with a restoration kit last year and was completed in less than stellar conditions (applied at coldest recommended temperatures). Roof was leaking badly before and has been great since. Hopefully touch-ups keep it that way.
I’m in the process of getting solar installed and was looking for something to make my asphalt roof last at least as long as the panels (since it costs more to get them removed and reinstalled than it does to get them installed), and I wanted something that would make my roof white since up to 40% of summer cooling costs can be saved by having a white vs black roof (and yes even coloured asphalt shingles are mostly black, they just look coloured from a distance). I looked at a number of different sealers and liquid rubber coatings and while this one was a bit more expensive than others in terms of per 5-gallon pail, the math of coverage and number of coats required (500 sqft/pail and only 2 coats) it was FAR more cost effective than the others. Unlike other options, it is also specifically made for shingles (rather than general roofs or general waterproofing applications), and comes with a 10 year warranty (versus 5 year for most others). After talking with a rep, they suggested actual life expectancy should be closer to 20 years and should be looked at as an extension on the lifespan of the shingle it is on (ie. a 25 year shingle becomes a 35 to 45 year shingle).
It also came in clear as well as multiple other opaque colours, one of which was white.
The most interesting concept for me though was their suggestion that reapplying one additional coat every ten years would extend the life of the roof indefinitely.
Granted with solar panels in place that would require removing them every 10 years to do a complete roof re-coat, but in my mind, since the panels protect the roofing below to a large extent, as long as I re-coat around the panels (and perhaps as far under as I can get) the result should be the same.
So I went ahead and ordered up six 5 gallon pails, (just shy of what the coverage suggested I needed for a 1600 sqft roof) and they arrived about 4 days later.
What comes is a pail of yellowish white liquid, which I assume is the “clear” version once it dries, because it also comes with a bag of coloured powder that you have to mix in (which takes about 10 minutes to mix in thoroughly with a drill-type mixer).
I couldn’t find a roofer in my area who wanted to paint, or a painter who wanted to go on a roof, so I ended up doing it myself.
Don’t bother using a tray, just use a big mug, pour out a line and then spread it out with a 19mm roller on a pole. Roll it perpendicular to the lines of shingles, and make sure to stop at the edge of a line and you will avoid lap-lines, and also paint the front edge of the shingles (which doesn’t happen if you go parallel to the shingle lines).
The first coat used up 4 of the 6 gallons so I thought I might need more but the last two did the second coat no problem since it didn’t get sucked in so much. I also did the first coat on two very hot, sunny days and the sealer dried very quickly on the hot roof (around 5-10 minutes), which probably also negatively affected coverage, whereas the second coat i did on overcast days and it stayed wet for a good 20-30 minutes at least.
In terms of heat gain, at the beginning of the second day when the sun was barely up, the un-treated roof was already on the verge of too hot to touch whereas the treated roof was cold, like a stone countertop, and it was still only half-way to white since it was only the first coat.
Now that it’s done, the second floor of the house is much more livable on hot, sunny days (no noticeable difference to cool overcast days), and the roof itself has a hard plastic feel to it that feels WAY more durable than typical shingles.
The solar panels haven’t been installed yet but I have no doubt the roof will last as long as they will if not longer just off this initial application, but I will probably still re-coat exposed areas ever 10 years just to be safe
I searched all over the internet and through Local Roofing "Experts" to find a solution to my "Leaking Torch Down, Flat Roof" which was covered by a chip rubber (Playground) surface. I wanted a low viscosity, pourable solution that would flow to the pin hole and seal it. NO-ONE had a solution!! Most suggested that we would have to pull up the playground surface, find the leak, fix it and try to match the playground surface. FINALLY I found Rexoseal and spoke to Anthony. He is very knowledgeable and knew exactly what my problem was an suggested their Resoseal Clear. It arrived next day and, exactly as described, it poured and flowed through the chip rubber surface to the torch down substrate.
Awesome product and superb customer service.
Excellent. It’s a bit pricey but like always you get what you pay for. Rubber content in rexoseal is far superior from the competition. Will definitely use again
haven't used it yet, so i can't comment on how it looks or the quality of the product.
Application was easy. Preparing the surface was the most time consuming part of the process.
Used on Sunspace roofing system aluminum rails/beams on the exterior ...first year was great, two years later (this year), it has cracks/dry spots and some peeling spots. Could be harsh winter months? We will try adding the 6 inch to existing 5inch white tape to see if it does the trick. Hopefully it does because not impressed with little leaks in our sunroom.
I am really happy with the end result. The foam roller was really cheap and wouldn’t stay on my roller. The instructions left a lot to be desired and I was without internet or cell signal so better instructions would have been nice.
That said I work in an industry that uses fluid applied membranes often and this is essentially the same thing. It felt like a quality product and my roof now looks brand new. Time will tell if it works as advertised.
I am very happy with this product. It doesn`t have any asphalt in it like other sound deadeners. No smell to it. It`s better priced to other sound deadeners. My experience was great,no issues. I would highly recommend this deadener and Rexoseal to everyone.
I love this product. I only use this on my RV ROOF.The price these days is a little extreme.
Received fast but not get the job done at this time ( end of march) but it’s not my fist time so i’m sure the job will be good as the last one.
Reçu très rapidement tout est la, mais je ferai l’enduit à la fin mars. Je ne suis pas inquiet j’ai déjà utiliser le produit 4 fois.
I'm very pleased with the Rexoseal Brick & Concrete Water-Repellent Sealer. I used it to cover a good portion of brick on my chimney stack. I did extensive research on which product to use and as far as I was able to see, Rexoseal is the only company I could find selling a silane solution product to the consumer. All other companies and/or products were only being sold to contractors or distributors. So far the product has been holding up well albeit about a month. We'll see how it handles our winters.
The only caveat is the price and the amount provided. IMHO the price is quite steep and the amount provided (3.78 litres) might not cover 200 sq/ft depending what you're using it for. In my case, it covered about 100 sq/ft.
The product is easy to apply when following instructions.
I used a manual pump sprayer I purchased off Amazon.
All said, I'm very satisfied with the results.
