Henry Tropicool 887 white silicone DIY roof coating PLUS bonus chimney stucco & winter roof pics!

The roof was redone about 2011. Much was learned during that process. A flat roof does not use shingles and therefore is not subject to the 'no more than 2 layers' policy. Nevertheless, the roof surface membrane was replaced to improve the pitch, add a 'cricket' water channel, increase back pitch to the front roof near the party wall and several other minor issues. The black roof membrane material was 'silver coated' for longevity, durability and to keep roof temperatures low. Since that time I have added Karnak 19 roof flashing cement to important areas of the roof as preventative maintenance in an effort to preserve the integrity. I also intended to silver coat the roof every 5 or so years. The discovery of the Henry tropicool 887 100% silicone white roof coating came at an opportune time. For many reasons it is a superior product to the standard silver coating. The silicone fills micro cracks, is 100% waterproof, reflects solar heat much more effectively and comes with a lifetime warranty! It was substantially more expensive, but the pros outweigh the cons and was a no brainer. I could probably write 20 pages about this roof, detailing the history, maintenance over the years, products and techniques used, and the many lessons learned! If you have specific questions please leave them in the comments. Also featured at the end of this video are pictures showing the before, during and after of the stucco rejuvenation on the original 1926 block chimney. If you have never worked with stucco it is a physical messy process and takes a skilled hand! It was a very satisfying project once complete! Also included are several pictures of the roof during winter. Thanks for reading this far, and thanks for watching! Leave a comment below!
