"I have always enjoyed finding better ways to solve problems, especially when it comes to housing and sustainability." - Rafael Joseph, S m a r T c o a T

Rafael spent years researching elastomeric roof coatings and saw firsthand how effective they were at extending the life of roofs, improving energy efficiency, and reducing waste.

After testing the system on his properties and seeing the results over several years, he realized there was an opportunity to bring this solution to homeowners in Central Illinois.

"SmarTcoaT was born from the belief that we should restore what we can instead of automatically replacing it." - Rafael.
