Home / Roof Coating & Restoration
Renew your existing flat or metal roof for 50 to 70 percent of replacement cost, with a seamless, fabric-reinforced, American-made coating system that adds 10 to 20 years of warrantied, watertight life, installed in days, without shutting the business below.
Certified To Install
It gets patched, it holds through one dry spell, and it is back the next time the wind drives rain the wrong way.
We find where the water actually gets in before anyone quotes you a system.
A full tear-off was quoted on a roof that may not need one, and nobody showed you the condition of the deck.
We say so when a roof does not need replacing, even though replacing it pays us more.
Mil thickness, ponding ratios, a system name you were told to trust. You are responsible for the building and cannot check a word of it.
Nothing happens on your roof without you knowing first. That is the rule here, not a slogan.
That is the one that costs the most and it is the reason this company exists. The contractor who came in sixty thousand dollars cheaper than us on a roof nearby is no longer trading. We are the ones installing the replacement.
Ask us who services your roof in year three. It is the only question on this page we can answer with a name.
Commercial roof coating restoration renews your existing roof instead of tearing it off. The surface is cleaned and prepared, seams and penetrations are sealed and reinforced, and the whole roof is protected with a seamless, waterproof, American-made coating engineered to add 10 to 20 years of warrantied life.
For a flat or metal roof that is aging but structurally sound, it is the difference between a manageable maintenance line item and a six-figure capital project, without the tear-off, the disposal, or the disruption to the business below.
Roofs do not fail in the middle of the field. They fail at seams, fasteners, curbs and penetrations, the places that move and flex. Our systems reinforce exactly those points with an embedded polyester fabric before the field is coated.
That fabric is the difference between a coating that looks good for two summers and a system that carries a 20-year, non-prorated warranty. As a Conklin Preferred Contractor, we install American-made systems and register every project for its full-term warranty.
Restoration typically runs 50 to 70 percent of what a tear-off would cost, because you are not paying for demolition, disposal or an entire new roof. The existing roof becomes the substrate.
In most cases a coating restoration can be expensed as a maintenance cost in the year it is performed, rather than capitalized and depreciated over decades. Ask your tax advisor what that is worth.
No tear-off means no open deck, no debris and no shutting down operations. Tenants keep working, and the first sign of the project is often a lower cooling bill.
We walk the whole roof, moisture-scan where needed, and give you photos and firm numbers, restore versus replace, in plain English.
The roof is power-washed and prepared. Loose fasteners are reset, wet insulation is cut out and replaced, so the coating goes over sound substrate.
Every seam, fastener and penetration is sealed and reinforced with fabric, the detail work that decides whether a coating lasts 3 years or 20.
A seamless, reflective membrane is applied across the field and registered for a manufacturer warranty of up to 20 years, honored the full term.

A restoration is judged on what it looks like in year five, not on the day the crew leaves. Ask to see one we finished years ago, not just the fresh ones.
Straight answers on cost, timeline, and what a restoration actually involves. No jargon, no sales pressure.
A free, photo-documented assessment and honest numbers on restore versus replace.
It comes down to how much of the roof is still sound. If the deck is solid and the wet insulation is under roughly 25 percent of the area, a roof is usually a strong restoration candidate. We confirm it with a free, photo-documented assessment and a moisture scan where it matters, then give you honest numbers on restore versus replace.
Yes, in almost every case. A coating restoration typically runs 50 to 70 percent of what a tear-off and replacement would cost, because you are not paying for demolition, disposal or an all-new roof system. And it can often be expensed as maintenance instead of capitalized, which changes the after-tax cost again.
No. There is no tear-off, so the deck is never open to the weather and there is no debris raining into the building. The work happens on top of the existing roof, and tenants typically keep operating normally the entire time.
It is a coating system that embeds a polyester fabric into the base coat at seams, fasteners and penetrations, the places roofs actually fail. The fabric bridges movement and adds tensile strength, which is the difference between a coating that peels in a few years and one that carries a 10 to 20 year warranty.
A properly installed, fabric-reinforced system is warranted up to 20 years, and at the end of that term it can usually be recoated rather than replaced, for a fraction of the original cost. That renewable cycle is the whole point: you never have to buy the roof twice.
