Roof Coatings in Fort Worth, TX
Extend the life of a flat or low-slope roof without a full tear-off
Roof coatings are liquid-applied membranes -- silicone, elastomeric, or acrylic -- used mainly on flat or low-slope sections: additions, porches, and commercial or light-commercial roofs. Rather than a full tear-off, a coating seals seams and minor damage on a roof that's still structurally sound, and reflects heat to help with cooling costs. It's priced and measured by coverage per gallon rather than per square, since it's a surface treatment, not a new roofing system.

Best for
Flat/low-slope sections, not typical pitched shingle roofs
Good fit if
- Extending the life of an existing flat or low-slope roof that's still structurally sound
- Commercial and light-commercial buildings
- Additions or porch roofs with a flat section
Worth knowing
- Not a substitute for a full reroof if the underlying deck is deteriorated
- Needs proper surface prep to bond and perform correctly
- Needs periodic reapplication rather than being a one-time permanent fix
Common question
Can a coating fix a leaking flat roof, or do I need a full replacement?
It depends entirely on the condition of the deck underneath, not just the surface. We inspect first and tell you honestly which one you actually need -- a coating is a real fix when the structure is sound and the problem is surface-level, but it won't solve a roof with underlying rot or structural damage.
