Contractor training, built for coating crews.
Hands-on application, manufacturer certification prep, estimating and sales — rolling out one module at a time. A few pieces are live today; the rest is in development.
Training by system and skill.
Hands-on articles written from the roof, organized the same way as the Complete Guide to Roof Coatings. The guide explains what to choose and what it costs; these explain how to put it on and keep the warranty.
Acrylic Application
Field guides for putting acrylic on metal, single-ply, mod-bit, BUR, foam and concrete.
Silicone Application
Single-pass high-solids silicone over every substrate, seams and ponding areas included.
First field guides are being written now.
Application Fundamentals
Prep, adhesion tests, seam and fastener treatment, wet-film control, weather and cure.
Equipment and Safety
Sprayers, pumps and tips; PPE, fall protection and the habits that keep crews working.
Estimating and Sales
Measuring, materials lists, pricing, warranty presentations and closing restoration work.
First field guides are being written now.

Hands-on application
Spray, roll and brush technique, wet-film control, and hitting the warranty mil build on every substrate.
In developmentManufacturer certification prep
What approved-applicator programs from GAF, Gaco, Conklin and others actually cover, and how to get through them.
In developmentEstimating and takeoffs
From roof measurement to a materials list: rates, waste, seams, fasteners and primer, using the RCN calculator.
In developmentSelling roof restoration
Owner objections, warranty tiers, coating-versus-replacement math, and proposals that close.
In developmentCrew safety and PPE
Fall protection, respirators for silicone and urethane, heat, and the toolbox talk that keeps crews working.
In developmentWarranty administration
