Silicone Roof Coatings, Flashing Repair & Leak Prevention for Rochester Commercial Roofs
Commercial Roof Coating & Restoration Contractors in Rochester, NY
Commercial roofs around Rochester carry heavy snow for months at a time. Lake-effect storms drift snow against parapets and rooftop units, ice blocks drains, and each thaw sends meltwater under loose seams and flashings. Summer then brings heat and strong storms that work on the same weak spots.
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 on offices, medical buildings, campuses and manufacturing facilities across Monroe County.
OUR COMMERCIAL ROOF COATING SERVICES IN ROCHESTER
We restore every common commercial roof type in the Rochester area with coatings chosen for heavy snow, ice, storms and summer heat.
Silicone handles ponding meltwater 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 Rochester 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 Rochester 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.

Rochester 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 Rochester 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 Rochester?
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.
