For flat and metal roofs

Roof Coating in Mobile

A roof coating is a fluid membrane we roll or spray over a sound flat or metal roof on a home or commercial building in Mobile, where it cures into one seamless skin that seals the roof and reflects the sun.

It is one of the flat roof systems, beside modified bitumen and single-ply TPO, PVC and EPDM, and the trade calls it "fluid-applied" because it goes on wet. It is not a new roof: the coat goes over the roof you already have, so that roof has to be sound under it.

How much sun a coating sends back is rated, and those ratings are registered with the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC). Ask us for the rating on any coating we put in front of you.

Before we quote a coating

Roofs That Suit a Coating

A coating can suit a flat or metal roof that is still sound, and it is the wrong answer for a roof with wet insulation or failure across the whole surface.

A coat seals and protects the roof under it. It does not dry out soaked insulation or rebuild a roof that has given out. Under the trade's "25% rule", when more than a quarter of the roof surface is damaged, replacement is often recommended over repair, and we hold a coating to the same line.

Old flat roofs often show "alligatoring", a crazed cracking of the aged surface, and "ponding", water left standing on the roof long after the rain. We find both when we get on the roof, and we deal with the cause before any coating goes on.

From the first look to the cleanup

Preparing and Coating the Roof

The roof is cleaned and its seams and failed details repaired before the coating goes on at the manufacturer's thickness, and the job runs in these steps.

We get on the roof. We check the surface, the seams and the details, so we know the roof is sound enough to coat.
You get the whole job in writing. The quote covers the cleaning, the repairs and the coating, before any work starts.
We clean the roof. Dirt, leaf litter and loose material come off, so the coating bonds to the roof and not to the grime.
We repair the seams and failed details. We find each failed detail, check the membrane around it and repair it with compatible materials.
We coat at the maker's thickness. We follow the manufacturer's material and installation recommendations, because ignoring them leads to early roof failure.
We clean up. Buckets, rollers and debris leave the roof and the yard with us.

How Roof Coating Is Priced

A roof coating is priced by the roof's area, the preparation it needs and the coating system that goes on it. On a flat roof, that can come to less than a "tear-off" or a full replacement would.

An elastomeric roof coating in Mobile typically runs $1,159 to $2,092 a roof. A bigger roof costs more, and so does one that needs more cleaning, more seams and more details repaired before it is coated.

We put no number on a roof we have not stood on. The exact price comes from the free estimate, in writing, before any work.

Roof coating questions

Is roof coating a good idea?

On a flat or metal roof that is still sound, yes: the coating seals the roof, reflects the sun and can cost less than a tear-off. On a roof with wet insulation, or with more than a quarter of its surface damaged, replacement is often the better call, and we tell you which after we have been on it.

What type of roof coating is best?

The right coating depends on the roof under it. Silicone, acrylic elastomeric and other fluid-applied coatings each go on flat and metal roofs, and where reflecting the sun matters, look for a rating registered with the Cool Roof Rating Council.

How much does it cost to get your roof coated?

An elastomeric roof coating in Mobile typically runs $1,159 to $2,092 a roof. The roof's area, the cleaning and repairs it needs first and the coating system move the price, and the free estimate gives you the exact number in writing.

Can roof coating be applied over shingles?

We do not coat shingle roofs. A worn shingle roof gets a repair or a replacement from us instead, and we tell you which one it needs once we have walked it.
