Save Tens of Thousands By Restoring Your Roof
Don’t Replace Your Roof: Choose Commercial Roof Restoration Experts
It starts with a drip. A dark stain on the ceiling tile. A call from your tenant or maintenance crew. You patch it once, twice, maybe three times. Then comes the uneasy question:
"Is it time to replace the whole roof?"
With that thought comes the real fear — six-figure replacement costs. Weeks of disruptive construction. Lost business. Lost sleep. We get it. At Compass Insulation & Specialty Coatings, we offer something smarter: Commercial Roof Restoration. Instead of tearing everything off, we repair, seal, and reinforce your existing roof using advanced roof coatings.
The True Cost of a Failing Roof
You don’t always see the real damage until it’s too late. What looks minor may hide bigger problems:
Small Leaks Turn Into Big Damage Fast
Water seeps deeper. It ruins thermal insulation barriers, corrodes electrical systems, and breeds mold. What starts small can quickly snowball into massive structural issues and skyrocketing repair bills.
Operational Disruptions You Can’t Ignore
Buckets in hallways. Closed-off rooms. Clients and employees noticing. Constant temporary repairs hurt your image — and your bottom line.
Roof Replacements Hit Capital Budgets Hard
A full replacement means tearing off your roof and paying premium prices. Metal roof restoration offers a smarter path — no tear-offs, minimal disruption, and significant savings.
Safety Risks That Could Cost You More
Water can short-circuit systems, cause slip hazards, and weaken your roof under Ohio's snow loads.
Neglect Hurts Property Value
Visible leaks and stains warn buyers, investors, and tenants of bigger hidden problems.

Restore vs. Replace? Why Smart Owners Choose Commercial Insulation Companies
When your roof fails, you have two choices: rip it out or restore it. Unless beyond saving, restoration wins — every time.
Why Roof Coatings Are the Smarter Choice (And Why They Work So Well)
Commercial roof restoration isn’t just "slap and seal." The modern roof coatings we use at Compass Insulation are built on cutting-edge chemistry that does what traditional materials can’t.
Seamless, Waterproof Barrier: Unlike older methods that rely on overlapping materials (which eventually fail at seams), our spray-applied coatings create a single, seamless membrane. This barrier stops water intrusion cold, even in vulnerable spots like roof penetrations, flashing, or drains.
Reflective and Energy-Efficient: The sun is relentless — especially during Ohio’s humid summers. Our reflective coatings bounce away UV rays, reducing rooftop temperatures by as much as 80 degrees Fahrenheit. This translates into huge energy savings and lighter loads on your HVAC system.
Flexible and Crack-Resistant: Ohio’s winters are tough. Freeze-thaw cycles cause expansion and contraction that break down traditional roofing. Roof coatings flex naturally with temperature changes, which prevents cracking and extends lifespan even in harsh conditions.
Mold, Mildew, and Rust Resistant: Unlike porous roofing materials, high-performance coatings resist water absorption. This means less chance of mold or rust compromising your building’s structure.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable: No need to send tons of waste to the landfill. Restoration allows you to preserve your existing roof and reduces your building’s environmental footprint — which today’s tenants, investors, and stakeholders value more than ever.
The Compass Insulation Proven Process: How We Make Roof Restoration Seamless
A quality result starts with the right approach. That’s why every restoration project we take on follows our trusted, no-corners-cut process:
Step 1: Free Roof Assessment: Our trained experts thoroughly inspect your existing roof to determine eligibility for restoration. We check for water damage, substrate condition, insulation performance, and prior repair work.
Step 2: Detailed Proposal & Transparent Pricing: If restoration is possible, you’ll receive a clear and honest proposal outlining scope, expected results, timeline, and budget — with no hidden surprises.
Step 3: Surface Preparation: The existing roof is carefully cleaned, dried, and prepped. Any damaged areas are repaired or reinforced to create the perfect base for coating application.
Step 4: Coating Application: Using state-of-the-art spray equipment, our team applies the coating evenly to ensure a smooth, protective membrane. Multiple layers may be applied based on your building’s specific needs.
Step 5: Final Inspection & Warranty Protection: Once cured, your new roof coating is inspected for uniformity and coverage. We provide full documentation and stand behind our work with industry-leading warranties.
Step 6: Ongoing Support: Our job doesn’t stop when the coating dries. We offer annual inspections and proactive maintenance to ensure your roof continues to perform flawlessly year after year.
Ohio’s Weather Is Brutal — Your Roof Needs More Than Luck
Ohio building owners know that seasonal extremes aren’t just uncomfortable — they’re expensive. From heavy lake-effect snow in Cleveland to summer heat waves in Columbus, your roof faces year-round threats:
Snow Loads and Ice Dams: Snow buildup and rapid thawing can overwhelm aging roofs.
Torrential Spring Rains: Persistent moisture accelerates wear and causes hidden rot.
Intense UV Exposure: The summer sun beats down, degrading traditional roofing fast.
Freeze-Thaw Cycles: Daily temperature swings crack rigid materials and cause leaks.
Roof coatings from Compass Insulation are engineered with Ohio in mind. They’re tested and proven to withstand the local climate better than conventional options. When failure isn’t an option, restoration with our experts becomes the smart play.

Steel retains approximately 50% of its strength when it reaches 1100°F (600°C). Temperatures during fires can be much hotter. A standard fire test reaches 1300°F (704°C) in the first 10 minutes.

We had the guys at Compass Insulation tear off and replace the main section of our roof at work. This was a big project as that was where the majority of our equipment is. They did a great job at a very fair price. I will be using them in the near future to come back and install some ventilation fans in the roof as well. I highly recommend them.
Jimmy and his crew came to our home and performed some infrared scanning and air infiltration analysis. Once completed they determined some problem areas from construction of the home which they remedied with Foam and spray insulation. We have enjoyed a significant difference in the warmth of our home and energy savings. This was also done in a few days time which was the most convenient aspect of the job. These guys did a great job!!
I was skeptical of the claims made by the spray foam industry and was concerned about the added costs over old style fiberglass insulation when we built an addition on our home making it 4 times the original size. After all the spray foam, my heat and cooling bill did not go up at all, and we also had the added benefit of major sound reduction from the outdoors. The guys from Compass were extremely careful and professional. I later built a shop that I had them come back and insulate and it only costs me pennies to heat that space too. I highly recommend this company.
Compass Insulation is very professional and does a thorough and great job. They have a complete understanding of what needs to be completed and goes over and beyond the required work to ensure a proper installation. I highly recommend this company.
I am a General Contractor and have worked with Compass for about 7 years now. Jim Sr. and Jim Jr. are very knowledgeable with the work that they perform. I am extremely happy with their work as well as all my customers. They are very reasonably priced and professional. I even had them foam insulate my own new home in Chesterland and I am proud to say it is one of the most energy efficient houses in the area. Amazingly low utility bills on a 3200 sq/ft open style ranch. I highly recommend them.
So my house was seeing some serious temperature drops as soon as the new year hit. Turns out all my attic needed was a little TLC from the employees at Compass. After easily scheduling an appointment, my foam sprayer arrived on time and ready for any questions i had for him. As a first time home owner, I was a little nervous about choosing who to hire, but Steve in particular eased all my worries. He explained how spraying the open cell foam would quickly address any heat loss, and I was relaxing without socks on in no time! No mess left behind, and I sold my space heater the next day. Win win!
