🏠 Roof Coating Questions

Learn about nano coating technology and how it extends your roof's life

What is nano coating technology?
Nano coating uses microscopic particles (80,000x smaller than a human hair) that penetrate deep into surfaces and create molecular bonds. Unlike traditional coatings that sit on top, nano particles become part of the material structure, providing superior, long-lasting protection that won't peel or chip.
How long does nano roof coating last?
Our nano roof coating extends your roof's life by 10-15 years under optimal conditions. Most customers see 12-15 years of protection with proper maintenance. This is significantly longer than traditional coatings (3-5 years) because the nano particles create permanent molecular bonds.
Will this work on my type of roof?
Yes! We can coat almost all roof types: asphalt shingles, metal roofs, tile roofs, TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, built-up roofs (BUR), and concrete roofs. The best candidates are roofs that are 0-15 years old with good structural integrity. We'll evaluate your roof during the FREE drone inspection.
Is my roof too old for coating?
It depends on condition, not just age. We've successfully coated 20-year-old roofs in excellent condition. The key factors are: no major leaks, structurally sound decking, at least 50% of shingle life remaining, and no widespread curling or missing shingles. Our FREE drone inspection will tell you definitively.
How does it perform in hurricanes?
Our nano coating significantly increases your roof's impact resistance and helps it withstand high winds and flying debris typical of Gulf Coast storms. The molecular bonding strengthens granule adhesion and creates a flexible protective layer. While no coating makes a roof completely "hurricane-proof," ours provides substantial added protection when properly installed.
Will coating void my roof warranty?
No, it won't void your warranty if applied correctly by certified professionals (like us!). We follow manufacturer specifications and use compatible products. In fact, coating can help maintain warranty validity by protecting against premature aging. We document everything for your records.
What's the difference between roof coating and roof replacement?
Roof coating protects and extends your existing roof's life for $5,000-8,000 (typical). Replacement tears off and rebuilds for $15,000-30,000+. Coating saves 70-80% and is ideal for roofs 0-20 years old with good structural integrity. Replacement is only necessary for severely damaged roofs.
Is it really fireproof?
Our coating achieves a Class-A fire rating (the highest rating) when applied per manufacturer specifications to approved substrates. The nano particles create a fire-resistant barrier that can help prevent flame spread. While no coating is completely "fireproof," ours offers excellent fire protection when properly installed.

🏗️ Concrete Sealing Questions

Protect your driveways, patios, and pool decks from Gulf Coast elements

How long does concrete sealing last?
Our nano concrete sealing typically lasts 5-10 years depending on traffic and exposure. High-traffic areas like driveways may need resealing every 5-7 years, while patios and pool decks often last 8-10 years. This is significantly longer than traditional sealers (2-3 years).
Will it stop existing cracks?
Sealing prevents new cracks by blocking moisture, but won't repair existing structural cracks. We can repair small cracks before sealing. For large cracks, we'll recommend appropriate repairs first, then seal to prevent future damage and extend concrete life.
Is sealed concrete slippery when wet?
No! Our nano formula maintains the natural texture and traction of your concrete. It's actually safer because it prevents slippery mildew and algae growth that develops on unsealed concrete in Mississippi's humid climate.
How soon can I use my driveway after sealing?
Light foot traffic: 6-12 hours. Vehicle traffic: 24-48 hours depending on temperature and humidity. Full cure for maximum protection: 7 days. We'll provide specific timelines based on your project and local weather conditions.
Do you seal old concrete or just new?
We seal both! In fact, sealing older concrete (5-20 years) provides the best value because you're protecting a surface that's already wearing. New concrete should be sealed after 30-90 days of curing for optimal bonding.
Will it change the color of my concrete?
Our sealer enhances the natural color, typically making it 10-20% richer and more vibrant without drastically changing the appearance. It won't create a glossy "wet look" unless you specifically request that finish.
Does it work in Mississippi humidity?
Absolutely! Our formula is specifically designed for Gulf Coast conditions. Traditional sealers fail in high humidity because they trap moisture. Our breathable nano technology blocks external water while allowing interior moisture to escape, perfect for coastal concrete.

🌲 Wood Protection Questions

Defend your decks, fences, and outdoor wood from rot and termites

How long does wood protection last?
Our nano wood protection typically lasts 5-8 years depending on exposure and wood type. Decks with full sun exposure may need retreatment every 5-6 years, while shaded fences often last 7-8 years. This is 3-4x longer than traditional stains and sealers.
Can you treat old, weathered wood?
Yes! In fact, older wood benefits most from protection. We'll clean and restore the wood first with brightening treatment, then apply protection. Even gray, weathered wood can look beautiful again with proper treatment.
Does it really repel termites?
Our wood protection creates a barrier that termites find difficult to penetrate, significantly reducing infestation risk. It's not a termite treatment or pesticide, but the molecular bonding makes wood much less attractive and accessible to termites. Think of it as armor for your wood.
Will it prevent wood rot?
Yes! By creating a hydrophobic barrier, we block the moisture that causes rot. Our coating allows wood to breathe while keeping water out, preventing the wet conditions fungi need to grow. This is especially important in Mississippi's humid climate where rot happens quickly.
Can I still stain wood after coating?
Our coating can be applied over most existing stains, or we can apply a tinted version for color. Once nano-coated, you won't need to re-stain because the protection lasts 5-8 years vs. annual staining. That's the beauty of it - less maintenance!
What wood types can you treat?
All types: pine, cedar, redwood, pressure-treated, composite, mahogany, teak, oak, and more. Each wood type may need specific prep work, but our nano technology bonds to all wood fibers. We've protected everything from luxury hardwood decks to backyard pine fences.

⚙️ Process & Service Questions

What to expect when you work with Brink Nano Protections

How long does application take?
Most roofs: 1-2 days depending on size and prep work needed. Concrete: 4-8 hours. Wood decks: 1-2 days. We'll give you an exact timeline during the free inspection. Weather delays are possible (we can't coat in rain), but we work efficiently to minimize disruption.
Do I need to be home during application?
Not necessarily! For roofs, we work entirely outside and don't need interior access. For concrete/wood, we just need access to the area. Many customers go to work as usual. We'll update you throughout the day and do a final walkthrough when you're available.
What preparation is required before you arrive?
Minimal! Clear any patio furniture or items from work areas. For roofs, trim overhanging branches if possible. Move vehicles from driveways for concrete sealing. We handle all cleaning, repairs, and surface prep - that's included in our service.
Is there any smell or fumes?
Minimal and short-lived. Our nano coatings are low-VOC formulas. You might notice a slight odor during application (similar to fresh paint), but it dissipates within 2-4 hours. It's safe for families and pets - you can stay home during the work.
What if weather interrupts the project?
We monitor weather closely and won't start if rain is forecasted within our cure window. If unexpected weather happens mid-project, we'll protect your property and return ASAP to complete the work at no extra charge. Your satisfaction matters more than rushing.
What kind of warranty do you offer?
GoNano provides a comprehensive 10-year warranty on all roof coating applications. This warranty covers material performance and application quality. Our warranties protect against product failure, defects in materials, and workmanship issues. We stand behind our work - if it fails, we fix it at no cost to you.
Are you licensed and insured?
Absolutely! We're fully licensed in Mississippi and carry comprehensive general liability insurance and workers' compensation. [CONFIRM WITH BEN: Insurance coverage details]. We can provide certificates of insurance to your HOA or property management if needed.

💰 Pricing & Value Questions

Investment, savings, and return on your nano protection

How much does roof coating cost?
Typically $2.50-4.00 per square foot depending on roof condition and prep work needed. A typical 1,500 sq ft home runs $5,000-8,000 total. That's 70-80% cheaper than replacement ($15,000-30,000+). We provide exact quotes after your FREE inspection - never any surprises.
Do you offer financing?
[CONFIRM WITH BEN: Financing options available]. Many customers find the investment worthwhile given the massive savings vs. replacement. We can also work with your insurance if you have storm damage coverage.
What's included in the price?
Everything! FREE drone inspection, professional cleaning, minor repairs, primer application, nano coating application (multiple coats), quality control checks, final inspection, and warranty documentation. No hidden fees. The quote we give is the price you pay.
Why is nano coating more expensive than traditional coating?
Traditional elastomeric coatings cost $1-2/sq ft but last only 3-5 years. Our nano coating costs $2.50-4/sq ft but lasts 10-15 years. Per-year cost: Traditional = $0.20-0.67/sq ft/year. Nano = $0.17-0.40/sq ft/year. Plus nano won't peel or chip like traditional coatings. Better protection, lower lifetime cost.
Are there any discounts available?
Yes! We offer military/veteran discounts, senior discounts, and multi-service discounts (roof + concrete + wood). We also have seasonal promotions - call to ask about current offers. First-time customers in new service areas often receive special pricing.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards, checks, bank transfers, and cash. Payment is typically 50% deposit to schedule, 50% upon completion. We never require full payment upfront - that's a red flag with other contractors. We earn your trust through quality work.
