Roof Coatings for Life Extension and Coastal Protection

Roof coatings can extend roof life, improve UV resistance, and reduce heat load—but only when the roof is a good candidate and prep is done correctly.

What Roof Coatings Are (and Are Not)

Coatings are not magic paint. They are a performance layer that:

• Reduces UV degradation

• Adds waterproofing protection (in appropriate systems)

• Improves reflectivity and energy efficiency

• Extends service life when applied correctly

Coatings are not a substitute for:

• Failed membranes

• Saturated insulation

• Structural issues

• Bad drainage

We evaluate first. Then we recommend.

Common Coating Types

Silicone Coatings

Best for: ponding-water tolerance, strong UV resistance
Why it works: excellent water resistance and longevity when applied correctly

Acrylic Coatings

Best for: cost-effective reflectivity where drainage is already good
Note: not ideal for persistent ponding without proper drainage improvements

Polyurethane / Hybrid Systems

Best for: high-traffic roofs or enhanced impact resistance

Manufacturers we use

Examples you may use (confirm and we’ll tailor):

• Gaco

• Tropical

• Lucas

• Henry

• Carlisle Coatings

• GAF Coatings

• Sika

• Tremco (often in commercial restoration contexts)

Our Coating Process (Why Prep is Everything)

1. Condition assessment (and moisture evaluation when needed)

2. Cleaning and surface prep

3. Seam reinforcement/repair

4. Detail work at penetrations and transitions

5. Coating application to the specified mil thickness

6. Final inspection and documentation

Best Fit Use Cases

Coatings are ideal for:

• Roof life extension on suitable membranes

• Energy improvements (reflective systems)

• Maintenance planning for commercial buildings

• Roof restoration when replacement isn’t yet necessary
