Palm Beach, FL Commercial Roof Restoration & Coatings

Silicone coating systems typically deliver 10-20 years of additional service life depending on the specific product, application thickness, substrate condition, and ongoing maintenance. Premium silicone systems applied at proper thickness and backed by manufacturer warranties can deliver service comparable to a new single-ply membrane, at significantly lower cost. Periodic inspection and minor repair can extend coating life even further. We provide manufacturer warranty documentation at project closeout that specifies your coating’s exact warranty terms.

Silicone roof coatings can be applied over a wide variety of structurally sound roofing substrates, including TPO, PVC, EPDM, and CSPE single-ply membranes; aged or previously coated metal roofs; Built-Up Roofing (BUR), modified bitumen, and cap sheets; spray polyurethane foam (SPF); and most existing acrylic and urethane coatings. Asphaltic substrates sometimes require an asphalt bleed blocker primer to prevent oils from bleeding through the coating. Every roof requires adhesion testing on the specific substrate before committing to a coating project – this verifies bond compatibility and prevents costly coating failures.

Roof restoration isn’t always the right answer. Roofs that have significant structural deterioration, saturated insulation, widespread substrate failure, severe wet/dry rot, or fundamentally incompatible existing coatings typically need full replacement rather than coating. We perform a thorough assessment before recommending restoration, and if your roof isn’t a good candidate, we’ll tell you up front. We don’t perform tear-off and replacement work ourselves – when full replacement is needed, you can pursue that with a contractor who specializes in roof replacement.

Yes. Silicone roof coatings are highly reflective, typically reflecting 80-90% of solar radiation off the roof surface, compared to dark or weathered roofs that absorb most of that energy and transfer it into the building interior. In Palm Beach’s climate, where cooling costs run for most of the year, this reflectivity can produce meaningful reductions in HVAC load and energy consumption. The energy savings alone often offset a portion of the coating investment over the life of the system.

Yes. Commercial roof coating is performed entirely on the roof, so building operations and tenants are largely unaffected throughout the project. There may be odor considerations during application that we’ll coordinate around your building’s air intakes and tenant schedules, and some coating systems have weather-dependent application windows that affect scheduling. We work closely with property management to plan the project around your operational requirements.
