WHAT ARE ROOF COATINGS?

Understanding Commercial Roof Coating Systems

Roof coatings are liquid-applied membranes that create a seamless, waterproof barrier over your existing roof. They're the smart alternative to costly tear-off and replacement.

When Roof Coatings Make Sense

Your Roof is Aging But Still Structurally Sound

Minor leaks, surface cracks, or UV damage - but the substrate and deck are solid

Budget-Conscious Property Owner

Get 10-15 more years at 50% less than full replacement cost

High Energy Bills from Dark Roof

White reflective coating can reduce cooling costs 20-30% immediately

Can't Disrupt Operations

Coating application is faster (2-3 days) with minimal business interruption

A roofer torches a membrane layer on a flat roof using a tiger torch to seal the asphalt bitumen, ensuring a durable waterproof layer.

When NOT to Use Coatings

  • Extensive wet insulation or deck damage
  • Multiple layers of old roofing
  • Severe ponding water issues
  • Roof nearing end of useful life (20+ years old)
