ROOF REPLACEMENT IS WASTFUL. Before you can lay down a new roof, you have to pay to remove the old. And often, up to 80% of that old roof is maintainable.  Roofing costs, both material and labor, continue to escalate.  Goods cost more this year than last.  They’ll cost more next year than they do now. Is replacement a likelihood for your buildings roof? It is more likely than you would suspect and could become reality sooner than you would like. The facts are: premature failures, requiring major repair, have

Way back on March 3, 1958, the founders Chuck Levy and Dick Rogers had a dream.  It was to build a successful company in the Maintenance Products field.  Now 60 years later, we’re happy to say that with the help of a lot of good people, we’ve come a long way.

Those first Pace days in an old converted icehouse were something else.  The Arctic Ice Cream Co. had used this three-story building for years.  It was great for storing ice cream but not ideal for their kind of operation.  Dick

A new roof is considered an improvement and therefore NOT deductible. Building owners can deduct the cost of repairs (roof renewal of the existing surface) that you make to the property.  You cannot deduct the cost of improvements.  A repair keeps the property in good operating condition.  It does not materially add to the value of the property or substantially prolong its life.  Repainting property inside or out, fixing gutters or floors, fixing leaks plastering and replacing broken windows are examples of repairs.   If you make repairs as part of an

TIME IS VITAL WHEN STOPPING STORM DAMAGE. Wet-Jet roof coating – Pace’s amazing protective coating that actually waterproofs during a rainstorm.  The time to fix a leak is the minute you detect the entry of water into your building.  Most building damage occurs during the peak periods of storms.  After the rain or snow thaw may be too late!  Wet-Jet works most effectively “underwater”, so you can use it when you need it the most, not the next day or the next week when the sun is shining.

Wet-Jet is a

Fiber glass prevents “wicking” of moisture underneath the coating.  This means Wet-Jet roof coating made with fiber glass will last much longer than ordinary coatings using cheap “fillers”.  Moisture is the deadly enemy of roof life.  It becomes dangerous when it gets underneath the roof mat.  As long as the coating and roof mat offer a solid barrier resistant to penetration, there is no problem.  When a break develops, even an opening the size of a pin prick, moisture creeps in. Roof protection begins to break down.

Cheap fillers provide easy

Pace’s ONE-COATER roof coatings are the finest products of their kind on the market BUT – they will not perform miracles.  As a roof coating is only as strong as its weakest link, we prescribe specific procedures to follow to reinforce each roof at these critical areas…parapet walls, seams, joints and flashings. This is where roof strain and stress exerts the greatest pressures.  At least 90% of all roof failures occur in these areas. When simple procedures are followed the weakest area of the roof are converted into its strongest

WET-JET roof coating has an unequaled ability to expand and contract and withstand tremendous temperature changes.  Because WET-JET will give and take with the movement of the roof, it will not peel, crack or become brittle even under sub-freezing temperatures.  Unsurpassed for complete overall roof renewal and savings both in labor and money.

With WET-JET, the original wet surface coating, emergency repairs can start immediately.  WET-JET sticks to the wet roof, stops the leak and keeps it stopped.  There’s no need to wait for the sun to shine. WET-JET keeps production

Pace’s total roof renewal system applying WET-JET roof coating uses the existing roof as a base and will restore, seal, recondition, waterproof and extend the life of old, weathered, worn out roofs, saving unnecessary tear off and replacement expense – all in an easy, ONE-COAT process.  With Pace’s Wet-Jet roof renewal system, over 90% of a building owner’s money goes toward the materials which keep the roof watertight. Expensive contractor labor and overhead costs are bypassed.  Thousands of dollars are saved on even the smaller roofs!

Pace is once again “winterizing” our line of roof coatings.  This means that it will be practical this winter to serve our customers in those areas where extremely cold weather makes it futile to attempt roof repair with conventional methods. What makes “winterizing” so vital is the fact that many more roof failures occur in winter than during any other season of the year.  These roof failures demand a line of roof coatings, which can be used under emergency conditions to stop costly damage to the building and its contents.

Pace have been in the ice melter business since March 1958.  The principals of our company were there when the first chemical de-icer was discovered back in the 1950’s.  It is very likely no company knows more about this business than Pace does.

In these years, we have watched hundreds of cheap ice melters come and go.  Only a handful of the original products that were marketed in the 1950’s remain.  As the leader in the field, we have always been careful to be modest in our claims, forthright in our
