Maintenance
A full commercial roof replacement is expensive and disruptive. For roofs that are aging but still structurally sound, a coating system can add 10-20 years of waterproof protection at a fraction of the cost — and with zero disruption to the business below.
In the High Desert, a dark flat roof can reach surface temperatures of 170°F or more on a summer day. A white reflective coating brings that down to 100-110°F — dramatically reducing the heat load on your HVAC system and lowering energy costs immediately.
Unlike roofing systems with seams, joints, or overlaps, a liquid-applied coating creates a completely seamless membrane. There are no seams to fail, no fasteners to back out, and no joints to separate. The entire roof becomes a single, continuous waterproof barrier.
The best coating depends on your roof’s current condition and drainage characteristics. Silicone is best for roofs with ponding water, acrylic works well on sloped surfaces with good drainage, and elastomeric coatings are ideal for older substrates that need crack-bridging capability. We evaluate your specific situation and recommend the right system.
Installation Process
At a Glance
Advantages
Lowest cost option — fraction of full replacement
No tear-off required — apply directly over existing roof
Seamless application — no seams means no leak points
Highly reflective — dramatic energy savings
Extends existing roof life by 10-20 years
Considerations
Not suitable for roofs with extensive damage or wet insulation
Requires periodic recoating (every 10-15 years)
Application is weather-dependent
Not a structural repair — underlying issues must be fixed first
Key Features
Silicone Coatings
The premium choice for ponding water resistance. Silicone doesn’t break down in standing water and provides excellent UV protection in desert conditions.
Acrylic Coatings
A cost-effective option for roofs with good drainage. Acrylic coatings are highly reflective and easy to apply, but require proper drainage to perform.
Elastomeric Coatings
Flexible rubber-like coatings that bridge cracks and accommodate building movement — ideal for older buildings with minor structural shifting.
Cool Roof Performance
White roof coatings reflect up to 85% of solar radiation, meeting and exceeding California Title 24 cool roof requirements.
