Roof Coatings

Roof coatings can be used to restore metal, asphalt built up, modified bitumen, polyurethane foam, single ply ( EPDM, TPO, PVC ).
  • 60% of all roofs in the United States are replaced prematurely because of leaks.
  • Roof Coatings will help prevent roof leaks, while extending the life of your roof. Most coating manufacturers offer 5 or 10 year system warranties on coating Installations.

Roof coatings are a popular alternative because it is more cost effective than a retrofit. Additionally, compared to a retrofit which essentially adds another layer of roofing material, Roof coatings create a chemical bond to the current roofing substrate essentially ‘bulking up’ the existing system.


A roof coating job can pay for itself through reduced energy bills in summer.
Americans spend about $40 billion annually to air condition buildings – sixth of all electricity generated in this country. Coatings reflect 85-90% of heat and ultraviolet rays from the sun- reducing your air conditioning cost by up to 20-30%.
