Why Choose Roof Coating Over Re-Roofing?
Roof coatings are a cost-effective alternative to full roof replacements. Instead of tearing off and replacing your roof, coatings are applied directly to the existing surface, providing a seamless, waterproof barrier.
Here’s why coatings make sense:
Lower Costs: Roof coatings typically cost 50-70% less than re-roofing.
Less Downtime: Application is faster, minimizing disruptions to your business.
Energy Savings: Reflective coatings can reduce cooling costs by up to 30%.
Longevity: Coatings extend the life of your roof by 10-20 years.

Hidden Benefit: Energy Savings
Reflective roof coatings lower indoor temperatures by bouncing sunlight away from the building. This reduces the load on HVAC systems and leads to measurable energy savings. Many of our clients see their energy costs drop by 10–30% after applying a coating.

Maintenance Savings: Avoid Costly Repairs
Roof coatings seal leaks, cracks, and seams, reducing ongoing maintenance costs. Unlike traditional roofs, coatings require minimal upkeep, making them a smart long-term investment.
