Commercial roof coating systems

A failing roof doesn't always need a costly tear-off. Fluid-applied silicone and acrylic coatings restore a sound roof, add a bright reflective surface that cuts cooling costs, and can extend service life by a decade, at roughly a third of the cost of full replacement.

Is your roof a candidate for restoration?

A roof is only a good candidate for a fluid-applied coating when it meets strict diagnostic criteria. We prove it before we recommend it.

Under 20% saturation

Moisture readings. Core samples and thermal imaging must prove that less than 20% of the insulation is saturated. Any small wet pockets are cut out and replaced with dry matching material before coating.

Structurally intact

Membrane & ponding. The existing system must still have its structural integrity, no widespread shattering or systemic breakdown. Mild to moderate ponding can take silicone; persistent deep ponding signals structural deflection that needs correcting first.

  1. Deep cleaning

    High-pressure power washing (minimum 3,000 PSI) with biodegradable cleaners to strip surface oxidation, dirt and biological growth.

  2. Targeted repairs

    Sealing all seams, flashings and curb penetrations with reinforcing fabric embedded into heavy-duty flashing-grade mastic.

  3. Priming

    Applying substrate-specific primers to ensure a flawless chemical bond between the old membrane and the new coating.

Commercial-grade coatings, matched to your roof

High-solids silicone

Silicone. Our go-to systems (such as GacoFlex and Henry ProGrade) for excellent ponding-water resistance on low-slope commercial roofs.

Premium acrylic

Acrylic. For higher-slope structures that need budget-friendly, high UV reflectivity without the silicone premium.

The measured energy impact

On a local commercial facility, switching from a dark, degraded roof surface to a highly reflective bright-white silicone coating dropped the roof surface temperature from 71°C to 29°C on hot days, significantly reducing the building's peak air-conditioning loads.
