Roof Coating Applications
Roof Coating Applications
A roof coating is a fluid-applied membrane added over an existing roof surface to extend its service life, reduce water intrusion, and improve energy performance. Coatings are commonly used on flat and low-slope roofs — TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems among them — as a way to refresh an aging surface without a full tear-off. Building owners in Chicago often consider coating work when a roof shows early wear, minor cracking, or reduced reflectivity, but hasn't yet reached the point of needing replacement.
How We Approach Coating Work
- Roof Coating Spray Equipment — applies coating material evenly across the roof surface for consistent coverage and thickness.
- Infrared Roof Moisture Scanning — checks for trapped moisture beneath the existing membrane before coating begins, since coatings should go over dry, sound substrates.
- Drone Roof Inspections — gives a clear look at overall roof condition to help determine whether coating is a suitable option.
- Moisture Meters — used alongside scanning to confirm problem areas are addressed before any coating is applied.
Roofs This Applies To
Coating applications generally suit flat and low-slope commercial or residential roofs, including TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems. This service pairs naturally with our broader flat roof and maintenance work, since a coated roof still benefits from regular inspection and upkeep over time.
