Silicone Roof Coatings, Flashing Repair & Leak Prevention for New York City Commercial Roofs
Commercial Roof Coating & Restoration Contractors in New York, NY
New York City roofs work hard. Many carry cooling towers, mechanical equipment, terraces and solar arrays, and every penetration is a possible leak. Summer sun bakes dark membranes until seams open, winter freeze-thaw cracks flashings, and nor’easters and summer downpours test drains that may already be partly blocked. On an occupied building, a roof leak can damage apartments, offices or equipment rooms below.
Many of those roofs can still be restored instead of replaced. Presto Restoration has more than 25 years of experience restoring commercial roofs with high-performance coatings. We repair the damage, rebuild flashing details and seal the roof with a seamless coating, adding years of service for far less than a tear-off and without hauling a full roof off a city building. Reflective coatings can also help owners keep roofs cooler, which supports the city’s cool roof goals.
OUR COMMERCIAL ROOF COATING SERVICES IN NEW YORK CITY
We restore every common commercial roof type on New York City buildings with coatings chosen for heavy rain, freeze-thaw and summer heat.
Silicone handles ponding water and stays flexible in the cold. After cleaning and repairing the roof, we apply it in one seamless layer at the warrantied thickness, and its white finish reflects summer heat.
TPO, PVC and EPDM roofs cover many New York commercial and residential buildings. As they age, seams loosen and membranes shrink. We prime the membrane, reinforce seams and flashings and apply a compatible coating for a new watertight surface.
Spray foam roofs need an intact top coat. We repair damaged or wet foam and apply a fresh UV-resistant top coat to keep it performing.
Built-up, modified bitumen and cap sheet roofs are common on prewar buildings and crack and blister with age. We repair defects, reinforce flashings and apply a coating that bonds to asphalt.
A coating is not always the answer. If insulation is widely wet or the deck is damaged, replacement may be better, so every project starts with moisture testing and cores, and we tell you plainly what we find.

New York City Commercial Roof Coating FAQs
How does the cost of a roof coating compare to a roof replacement?
A coating restoration usually costs a fraction of a tear-off because the existing roof stays in place, which also avoids hauling old roofing off a city building. Savings depend on size and condition.
How long does a silicone roof coating last?
Typically 10 to 20 years, depending on thickness and warranty, after which the roof can often be cleaned and recoated.
Which commercial roofs are good candidates for coating?
Most low-slope roofs, including TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, built-up, metal and spray foam, as long as the roof is mostly dry and sound.
When should a New York City commercial roof be coated?
Most coating work happens from late spring through early fall, when temperatures and dry weather allow the coating to cure.
Does a reflective roof coating save energy in New York City?
Yes, mainly in summer. A white reflective roof stays cooler, reduces cooling loads and supports the city’s cool roof goals.
Do tenants need to leave during a roof coating project?
No. The work happens on the roof, and we protect air intakes and keep noise down.
