Benefits of Roof Coatings for Commercial & Multi-Family Properties
High-quality roof coatings can add years to the service life of your existing roof, delaying the need for a costly commercial roof replacement.
Compared to a complete roof replacement, roof coatings offer a more budget-friendly approach to improving roof performance. This can be a significant advantage for building owners managing commercial roofing systems across a large portfolio of properties.
Many roof coatings offer reflective properties that can help reduce heat gain within your building, potentially lowering energy costs and cooling costs. This can be a significant benefit for properties in sunny climates, especially industrial buildings with large roof surfaces.
Roof coatings provide an additional layer of protection against the elements, including UV radiation, harsh weather, and minor leaks. This can be especially beneficial in regions experiencing extreme temperatures, cold temperatures, or significant UV exposure.
Certain roof coatings, such as silicone roof coating and elastomeric coatings, can address minor leaks and improve the overall waterproofing performance of your roof, helping to prevent water damage and extend the life of your roof investment.

Types of Commercial Roof Coatings
- Acrylic Coatings: Water-based acrylic coatings are well-suited for high UV environments where a reflective surface is desired. They come in various colors but are typically available in white, tan, and gray. Many specialty acrylic coatings are formulated for compatibility with specific roof substrates.
- Asphalt Coatings: Offered in solvent-based or emulsion options, asphalt coatings can be black or aluminized. They are suitable for application in cold or inclement weather. Aluminized asphalt coatings are ideal when a reflective and UV-stable solution is required.
- Polyurethane Coatings: Typically solvent-based, polyurethane coatings come in two main types: aromatic (less UV stable) and aliphatic (highly UV stable). Polyurethane coatings offer superior mechanical properties and high abrasion resistance, making them suitable for hail-prone areas or roofs with heavy foot traffic.
- Silicone Roof Coatings: Similar to acrylic coatings, silicone coatings perform well in high UV environments and are often preferred for applications where daily rain or frequent ponding water is a concern. Silicone roof coatings offer excellent elasticity and protective layers for long-term performance.
- Elastomeric Roof Coatings: Elastomeric coatings are known for their exceptional flexibility and ability to bridge minor cracks in the roof surface. They are a versatile option for various roof types and can extend roof life with proper maintenance.
Additional Considerations for Commercial Roof Coatings
When evaluating commercial roof coating systems for your commercial building or multi-family property, several factors need to be considered:
- Current Roof Condition: The condition of your existing roof, including the type of roofing system (e.g., metal roof, flat roof, etc.) and current roofing materials, will influence the suitability of a roof coating solution. Our experienced roofers can conduct a thorough roof inspection to assess compatibility.
- Desired Performance: Do you prioritize extending the lifespan (roof life), improving energy efficiency (reflective roof coatings), or enhancing waterproofing capabilities? Understanding your goals will help us recommend the most suitable roof coating product.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Roof coatings are a cost-effective alternative to a complete roof replacement, offering a way to maximize the return on investment from your existing roof. Our team can provide a cost analysis to determine if a roof coating project is the right financial decision for your building.
