Silicone Roof Coatings, Flashing Repair & Leak Prevention for Detroit Commercial Roofs
Commercial Roof Coating & Restoration Contractors in Detroit, MI
Commercial roofs across Detroit, from downtown towers to manufacturing and distribution buildings along the freeways, carry heavy snow loads, develop ice at drains and parapets and then bake in summer sun. Each thaw sends meltwater under loose seams and flashings, and every summer storm tests the same weak spots.
Many of those roofs can still be restored rather than 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.
OUR COMMERCIAL ROOF COATING SERVICES IN DETROIT
We restore every common commercial roof type in the Detroit area with coatings chosen for snow, ice, storms and summer heat.
Silicone handles ponding meltwater and storm runoff and stays flexible in deep 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 Detroit commercial and industrial 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 on older Detroit buildings crack and blister after many winters. 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.

Detroit 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. 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 Detroit commercial roof be coated?
Most coating work happens from late spring through early fall, after winter damage has been repaired.
Does a reflective roof coating save energy in Detroit?
Mostly in summer, by keeping the roof cooler and reducing cooling loads. The bigger year-round benefit is usually better waterproofing and longer roof life.
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.
