Why Consider a Commercial Roof Coating
(Instead of Replacement)?

  • Lower cost vs. tear-off: Coatings are typically 40–70% less than full replacement, depending on condition and square footage.
  • Fast, low-disruption installs: Many projects finish in days with business access maintained.
  • Cool roof performance: Highly reflective “cool” finishes can reduce roof temps and help lower HVAC demand in Texas summers.
  • Leak protection: Fully adhered, seamless membranes help stop chronic leak points at seams, fasteners, and penetrations.
  • Sustainability: Restore in place, reduce landfill waste, and renew warranties with future recoats.
  • Potential tax advantages: Many building improvements (including roofs/coatings) may qualify for accelerated expensing; consult your tax professional.

Unsure if your roof is a candidate? Book a no-pressure coating assessment and we’ll provide core samples, moisture scans (as needed), and a side-by-side repair-vs-coat-vs-replace plan.

The Best Commercial Roof Coatings for Texas

Different buildings, uses, and roof conditions call for different chemistries. Here are the coating types we most often recommend in Central Texas, with typical use-cases:

Silicone Roof Coatings
(Great for Ponding-Prone Roofs)

  • Best for: Flat/low-slope roofs with ponding water, intense UV, and hail; TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, built-up, and metal (with proper prep/primers).
  • Advantages: Outstanding UV resistance, retains flexibility in high heat, excellent ponding-water tolerance, bright white reflectivity.
  • Considerations: Can attract dirt over time (periodic cleaning helps). Some systems require compatible primers over TPO/PVC or asphalt.

Acrylic (Elastomeric) Roof Coatings
(High Value, Highly Reflective)

  • Best for: Cost-effective restoration where drainage is decent; metal roofs; modified bitumen; some single-plies with primer.
  • Advantages: Strong reflectivity, color options, economical, easy maintenance/recoat.
  • Considerations: Not the top choice for chronic ponding water; detail work and proper slope are key.

Polyurethane (Urethane) Coatings
(Tough, Foot-Traffic Resistant)

  • Best for: High-traffic service roofs (mechanical units), hail zones, metal roofs, and areas needing abrasion resistance.
  • Advantages: Excellent tensile strength, impact resistance, great as a base with silicone or acrylic topcoats.
  • Considerations: Often a two-coat system; odors during install may be stronger (we schedule around occupancy).

Asphalt Emulsion + Reflective Topcoat
(Cost-Effective Rehab)

  • Best for: Aging BUR/mod-bit roofs with alligatored surfaces where a reinforced restoration is desired.
  • Advantages: Can embed polyester reinforcement for added strength; very budget-friendly.
  • Considerations: Requires dry-out weather windows; always finished with a reflective acrylic or aluminum coating for UV.

PMMA/PUMA Liquid-Applied Systems
(Rapid-Cure Detailing)

  • Best for: Complex penetrations, gutters, scuppers, pitch pans, and localized high-risk areas; can also be used as full membranes.
  • Advantages: Rapid cure (even in cool temps), highly durable, ideal for night work and minimizing downtime.
  • Considerations: Premium cost; we deploy selectively where it adds value.

What Roof Types Can Be Coated?

Single-ply

TPO, PVC, EPDM (requires proper cleaning and primers as specified).

Asphaltic

Modified bitumen (smooth or granulated), BUR.

Metal

Standing seam, R-panel, corrugated (with fastener/seam remediation).

Concrete

Evaluated case-by-case with adhesion testing.

Our Coating Process

Texas-Tough Standards

Inspection & Testing

Infrared/moisture scans, core samples (as needed), fastener pull tests on metal, and adhesion tests to confirm the right system.

Prep & Repair

Power-wash, rust treatment, seam and flashing repairs, wet insulation cut-outs, and substrate priming.

Detailing

Reinforce seams, term bars, penetrations, curbs, scuppers, wall transitions, and gutters.

Field Application

Roll/spray to specified mils in multiple passes for uniform coverage.

Final QA & Warranty

Wet mil testing, adhesion checks, punch list, and submission for manufacturer warranty (where applicable).

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes—when the leaks originate at the membrane (seams, fasteners, penetrations). Coatings create a continuous, monolithic surface and, with proper detailing, are highly effective. Structural leaks (e.g., wall interfaces, skylight frames, saturated insulation) must be corrected during prep.

In most cases, yes—with cleaning, repairs, and manufacturer-approved primers. We perform adhesion tests to choose the right system.

Absolutely. We treat rust, replace/retighten fasteners, seal seams, and apply a high-reflectance topcoat. This is one of the best ways to stop chronic fastener/seam leaks and reduce heat gain.

In Texas, ponding is common on older low-slope roofs. Silicone systems are typically preferred here; we’ll also evaluate drainage improvements.

Coatings are weather dependent. We schedule during favorable windows (low rain probability, proper temps/humidity) and can phase work to keep your entrances and operations open.
