When a coating is better than a new roof

For many Colorado buildings, a professionally installed coating system can:

  • Extend roof life 10-20+ years
  • Reduce energy use and rooftop temperatures
  • Seal seams, fasteners, and minor defects
  • Avoid major tear-off, noise, and landfill waste

overview

What is a commercial roof coating?

A commercial building roof coating is a liquid-applied membrane that's sprayed or rolled onto your existing roof system. Once cured, it forms a seamless, waterproof layer that protects the roof from UV, ponding water, thermal movement, and Colorado's extreme temperature swings.

Many Colorado building owners searching for commercial roof coating companies want long-term solutions that avoid a full tear-off. Instead of tearing off and replacing your roof, a coating system uses the roof you already have as the base. After cleaning, prepping, and repairing problem areas, we install one or more coating layers at a precise thickness. The result feels like "resetting" your roof life without resetting your budget.

Because coatings are elastomeric, they expand and contract with your roof instead of cracking every time we swing from freezing nights to sunny afternoons along the Front Range.

at a glance

Coatings vs. full replacement

  • Upfront cost: Typically 30-50% less than a tear-off
  • Disruption: Far quieter, faster, and cleaner for tenants
  • Waste: Little to no roofing material sent to landfill
  • Energy: Reflective "cool roof" surfaces lower HVAC load
benefits

When a roof coating is the better solution

When the existing roof is a good candidate, a coating system can be the most cost-effective, least disruptive way to solve leaks, extend roof life, and improve comfort in the building below.

Extend roof life 10-20+ years

Protects the existing membrane or metal from UV, standing water, and thermal movement.

Reduce energy costs

Highly reflective white and light-colored coatings can significantly reduce rooftop temperatures.

Seal seams, fasteners, and minor defects

Creates a seamless waterproof surface over problem areas like laps, penetrations, and fasteners.

Minimal disruption to tenants

No major tear-off, less noise, and fewer dumpsters — ideal for occupied buildings and tight sites.

Better hail and UV resilience

Coatings add an extra sacrificial layer between Colorado's hail, sun, and your roof system.

Future recoat options

Many systems can be cleaned, prepped, and recoated at end of life instead of starting over.

Commercial roof coating contractors near me — how to choose the right partner

When comparing commercial roof coating near me options, it's important to choose a contractor experienced with elastomeric, silicone, urethane, and PUMA XL systems. These systems are commonly recommended when property managers look for comercial roof coating near me solutions that extend lifespan without a full tear-off. The best fit depends on your roof type, building use, budget, and Colorado's specific weather patterns at your site.

Coating Type
Best For
Key Advantages
Things to Know
Acrylic Elastomeric
Metal, single-ply, modified bitumen, many low-slope roofs.
Excellent reflectivity, cost-effective, fast to apply, good UV resistance in high-altitude sun.
Not ideal for areas with long-term ponding water; may require periodic re-coats for long lifespans.
Silicone
Roofs with ponding water, Colorado freeze-thaw cycles.
Outstanding UV and water resistance, handles standing water, flexible in temperature swings.
Can attract dirt over time; future recoat prep is critical for good adhesion.
Urethane / Polyurethane
High-traffic roofs, areas with frequent hail or mechanical abuse.
Very durable, strong impact and abrasion resistance, great for hail-prone sites and walkways.
Often used with other coatings; may have higher material cost than acrylic-only systems.
SPF (Spray Polyurethane Foam)
Flat and low-slope roofs needing insulation + slope correction.
Adds R-value, can improve drainage, seamless insulation + coating system.
Must be top-coated and maintained; requires experienced installers and proper design.
SEBS & Hybrid Systems
Aged asphalt, modified bitumen, certain metal and single-ply roofs.
Excellent adhesion, strong flexibility, good chemical resistance.
Often paired with primers or reinforcement for best results.

Roof Types

Roof types we commonly restore with coatings

Not every roof is a good candidate—but many are. We start every project with a detailed inspection so you know whether a coating, repair, or replacement make the most sense.

Single-ply Roofs

TPO, PVC, and EPDM membranes that still have good adhesion and structural integrity but are showing age, minor leaks, or surface wear.

Modified Bitumen & Built-up Roofs

Aging asphalt-based systems where we can address blisters, splits, and ponding areas before installing a reflective coating.

Metal Roofs

Standing seam an R-panel roofs with sound panels but issues at seams, fasteners, and penetrations. Coatings help seal and protect the system.

Spray Foam Roofs

Existing SPF roofs that need a new protective topcoat due to UV weathering or age, often with targeted repairs before coating.

Hybrid / Previous Coating Systems

Many older coatings can be cleaned, prepped, and re-coated if the roof underneath is still sound.

Multi-Building Portfolios

Owners and managers looking for a coatings strategy across multiple roofs with different systems and ages.

honest guidance

When a coating is not the right solution

Sometimes the most honest recommendation is not to coat a roof. If the existing system has widespread saturation, structural issues, or repeated failures, a coating will only mask problems, not solve them.

During your inspection, we'll document what we find and outline a clear path forward, whether that's a coating, repair, or full replacement.

Red flags that may rule out a coating
  • Significant moisture trapped in the insulation or deck
  • Severe rust-through on metal panels or structural elements
  • Widespread membrane failure, open seams, or uplift
  • Code or warranty requirements that demand replacement
If we don't recommend a coating, we'll explain why and provide options so you can plan with confidence.
