Why Roof Coatings in Houston Make Sense

Houston’s climate is tough on roofs. High UV, year-round humidity, and sudden downpours speed up wear. A professionally installed roof coating seals seams and fasteners, reflects heat, and protects membranes from sun damage. As a result, your roof lasts longer and your cooling costs drop. Even better, coating projects are cleaner, quieter, and faster than replacements—perfect for homeowners and busy commercial sites.

• Commercial & Industrial: Restore aging flat roofs, reduce HVAC load, and improve waterproofing with minimal downtime.
• Property Managers & HOAs: Standardize maintenance, extend asset life, and lower total cost of ownership across portfolios.

Key Benefits of a Roof Coating

• Extend Roof Life: Adds a durable, weather-resistant layer that reduces cracking and UV degradation.
• Lower Energy Bills: Highly reflective “cool roof” coatings bounce solar heat to reduce interior temperatures.
• Leak Defense: Seamless, elastomeric protection helps seal problem areas and small gaps.
• Cost-Effective: Restoration can cost a fraction of replacement and may qualify as a maintenance expense.
• Fast, Low Disruption: No loud tear-offs or dumpsters in most cases; ideal for occupied homes and active businesses.
• Sustainable: Fewer materials to landfill; reflective surfaces help reduce the heat island effect.

Roof Coating Options We Install

We match the coating chemistry to your roof type, condition, and goals:

Acrylic Roof Coatings

Great for metal and low-slope roofs. Strong reflectivity, good cost-to-value, and straightforward maintenance.

Silicone Roof Coatings

Outstanding ponding-water resistance—ideal for flat roofs that hold water. UV stable and highly reflective.

Polyurethane (PU) Coatings

Tough, abrasion-resistant topcoats for high-traffic areas around equipment and walk paths.

Aluminum & Elastomeric Coatings

Popular on metal roofs for corrosion resistance and added reflectivity; elastomerics bring stretch and crack-bridging.

Compatible Roof Types

• TPO, EPDM, and PVC single-ply
• Modified bitumen & BUR
• Metal (standing seam, R-panel)
• Sprayed polyurethane foam (SPF)

Our 6-Step Roof Coating Process

1. Free Inspection & Moisture Survey
   We document current issues, test for trapped moisture, and verify your roof is a good candidate for restoration.
2. Proposal & Scope
   You get a clear plan, product data, warranty options, and a firm price. We’ll explain alternatives if replacement makes more sense.
3. Prep & Repairs
   Power wash, rust treatment on metal, seam reinforcement, fastener resets, and patching. Proper prep is the key to long life.
4. Priming (as needed)
   We use primers to improve adhesion on challenging surfaces (e.g., aged single-ply, metal, or asphaltic roofs).
5. Coating Application
   We apply the specified roof coating system to the manufacturer’s mil thickness using rollers and airless sprayers, with fabric at critical transitions.
6. Final QA & Warranty
   We verify film thickness, adhesion, and coverage. You receive documentation and warranty registration.

Coating vs. Replacement—What’s Right for You?

Choose roof coatings if:

• The membrane is mostly dry and structurally sound.
• Leaks are isolated to seams, penetrations, or minor cracks.
• You want energy savings and faster completion.

Choose replacement if:

• Core samples show widespread moisture within insulation.
• There are severe blistering, saturation, or structural decking issues.
• Code upgrades require full system changes.

We’ll be candid. If replacement is the smarter move, we’ll say so and outline options.

What Does a Roof Coating Cost in Houston?

Pricing depends on roof size, prep and repair needs, coating chemistry, warranty term, and access. Many homeowners and businesses see lower lifecycle costs because coatings defer replacement and reduce energy use. After our inspection, you’ll get a precise, line-item quote—not a guess.

FAQs: Roof Coatings in Houston, Texas

1) How long does a roof coating last?
Most systems last 10–20 years, depending on product, prep, and maintenance. Thicker mils and periodic recoats extend life.

2) Will a coating stop my leaks?
Yes—provided leaks come from seams, penetrations, or weathered surfaces. Structural or saturated insulation issues may require partial replacement first.

3) Will it lower my cooling bills?
Reflective cool roof coatings reduce heat gain. Many clients report noticeable HVAC savings, especially on large, sun-exposed roofs.

4) Can you coat TPO, EPDM, or PVC?
Absolutely. We use primers and compatible systems designed for single-ply membranes.

5) Is there a smell or mess?
Projects are low-odor and low-disruption. Most coatings are applied with minimal noise and limited material handling.

6) How long does installation take?
Small homes can finish in 1–2 days. Commercial roofs vary by size and weather. We plan to work to avoid interrupting your operations.

7) What warranties are available?
We offer manufacturer and workmanship warranties, typically 10–20 years, based on coating type and thickness.

8) Do I need to leave during work?
Usually not. We coordinate access and safety, and you can stay open or at home throughout.
