Cut Commercial Roofing Cost with Roof Coatings

Cut Cost on Commercial Roof Replacements

Myrtle Beach Hotels and Other Commercial Buildings, Cut Roof Replacement Cost With Roof Coatings

For many businesses, building maintenance is an essential cost of doing business. Maintaining a visually appealing appearance, protecting merchandise, or offering a clean hotel room, can be the difference between success and failure, in competitive tourist markets like Myrtle Beach, SC.  Even with good marketing and advertising, a customer is likely to make their final decision on whether or not they will do business with you, based on the appearance and cleanliness of your building/store. Just like a bad score from the health department can deter customers from a restaurant, a leaky roof resulting in mildew and other foul smells, can run customers off, even after you draw them in the doors. A leaky roof not only poses the risk of losing potential customers, it can also add to the risk of having major structural damage.  Just like with health care, prevention is the best way to protect your buildings structural soundness, and overall appearance.

There are many reasons why business owners often neglect their roofing systems, however one of the main reasons, is the cost associated with roof replacement.  Roofing products are often expensive and labor intensive to install, resulting in high replacement cost to the building owners.  Many factors play into the high cost of roof replacement such as manufacturer's warranty's, new regulations in the production of roofing materials, and the need for skilled labor to install roofing systems.  Another big factor in the past, associated with labor cost, has been the need to remove the old roofing system in order to install a new roofing system.  Roof tear off is priced the same as installing a new roofing system. Re-roofing over shingles with a second layer, and installing metal roofing over top of shingle roofs, has been going on for years. However, these methods are not acceptable by most manufacturer's warranty requirements, and also add a lot of extra weight to a roof framing system designed for holding only one layer of roofing.

In recent years, due to a sluggish economy, and a push towards more environmentally friendly products, roofing product manufacturers have made strides into improving their products to help lower roof replacement cost, and improve sustainability. To help customers lower roof replacement cost, and improve their own company's sales, many new roof coating products have hit the market, which have lowered roofing cost for commercial building owners and homeowners a like. 

Roof coatings, are roofing products that can be installed over most existing, low slope roofing systems. Low slope roofs, or more commonly referred to as flat roofs, are often used on commercial buildings. They offer many advantages to commercial building owners, such as being able to put HVAC systems on the roof, ease of maintenance, and improved storefront appearances. The major disadvantage is the cost of flat roofing systems, as there is a smaller market for flat roofs, resulting in higher cost of low slope roofing products. Just as with residential roofing systems, flat roofing systems also need replacement, on average, after about 20-30 years.  Advancements in roof coatings, have helped eliminate some of the cost associated with replacing a flat roofing system, and offer the same warranty lengths as traditional flat roofing systems. Roof coatings can go over most all existing flat roof systems, eliminating most tear off cost associated with traditional flat roof replacements. Roof coatings are also light weight, and will not add any significant amount of weight to structural members.  Being able to eliminate half the labor cost associated with replacing flat roofing systems, has resulted in huge savings to commercial building owners in need of a new roof. Also, in addition to lower roof replacement cost, roof coatings are also energy efficient, helping building owners lower utility cost. By eliminating waste associated with tearing off old roofing systems, also helps the environment.

Benda Kaalu On Toast - Boiled Beans On Toast

BENDA KAALU ON TOAST

 'Benda Kaalu On Toast' - The unique title of the latest play by the renowned playwright Girish Karnad raked up my nostalgia, and fond memories of my childhood started brimming in my mind. I remembered the delicious Peas On Toast which I enjoyed with my parents and siblings at Sri Kanteerava Narasimharaja Sports Club, Mysore. Secondly I felt an unsupressable urge to taste THE DISH - BENDA KAALU ON TOAST - NOW! Both the thought processes culminated in bringing out this post! 

INGREDIENTS TO PREPARE BENDA KAALU 

Fresh Field Beans / Kaalu - 2 cups 

Sesame oil - 2 tbsps 

Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp 

Finely chopped onion - 4 tbsps 

Finely chopped garlic - 1 tsp 

Finely chopped fresh ginger - 1 tsp 

Sambar powder - 1 tsp 

Salt - 1 tsp 

Juice of 1 lime 

Finely chopped fresh coriander leaves - 2 tbsps 

METHOD 

1. Boil Field Beans/Kaalu in enough water adding one pinch of salt. 

2. Drain the cooked Kaalu and keep aside. 

3. Crush the ginger and garlic together using a mortar and pestle and keep aside. 

4. Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. 

5. When the seeds puff up add the crushed ginger and garlic. 

6. Add the finely chopped onion and fry till they become golden in colour. 

7. Keep a low flame and add the sambar powder and salt. 

8. Retain one table spoon of Kaalu and stir the rest into the pan. 

9. Mash the retained Kaalu with one table spoon of chopped coriander leaves using a mixer or a mortar and pestle since the quantity is not much. 

10. Add the mashed coriander and beans mixture to the Kaalu in the pan and stir well. 

11. Cook till the Kaalu curry becomes thick and comes together. 

12. Mix in the lime juice and the remaining coriander leaves. 

 Benda Kaalu is now ready. 

INGREDIENTS TO PREPARE THE TAVA TOAST 

Bred Slices of your choice - 4 

Unsalted butter - as required 

METHOD  

1. Place a thin slice of butter on the tava and heat it on low flame. 

2. When the butter starts melting, place a slice of bread on the center and toast on low heat. 

3. Gently push the bread slice around the tava using a spatula so that it absorbs all the butter melting around. 

4. When the bottom becomes golden in colour place another thin slice of butter on top of the bread slice. Do not flip. 

5. Top it with a thick layer of the Benda Kaalu. 

6. Remove it on to a serving plate. 

7. Repeat the procedure for the rest of the toasts. 

Start biting into the luscious layer of the benda kaalu and proceed into the soft and buttery top portion of the bread slice, and experience the bliss when you arrive at the heavenly golden crunch at the bottom.The effect of the explosion of the flavour and taste of Benda kaalu On Toast on the taste buds is tantalizing! 
Do not forget to sip a strong filter coffee in between bites to enhance the rich experience.
