Roof Coating is a Smart Investment

A roof coating acts as a protective barrier that shields your roof from UV rays, ponding water, and extreme temperature fluctuations. Instead of facing the high costs of a full roof replacement, coating systems restore your existing structure, sealing leaks and strengthening its surface. Business owners also appreciate that coatings provide seamless coverage, eliminating vulnerable areas around seams and fasteners where problems often start.

For commercial and industrial facilities that rely on operational efficiency, coatings make long-term financial sense. By extending roof life and improving energy performance, they deliver measurable returns while preserving building integrity.

Commercial and Industrial Benefits

• Cost Savings: Roof coatings are significantly more affordable than full tear-offs and replacements, often cutting project costs in half or more.
• Energy Efficiency: Reflective coatings help reduce cooling costs by reflecting sunlight and lowering heat absorption, a key benefit during hot Missoula summers.
• Minimal Disruption: Coatings are applied quickly and cleanly, with little interruption to daily business operations—a major advantage for warehouses, schools, and retail centers.
• Sustainability: Roof coatings extend roof life while reducing landfill waste. Instead of sending tons of old roofing materials to the dump, coatings build on what’s already in place.
• Re-Application: Unlike many roofing systems, coatings can be renewed with an additional layer every 10–15 years, extending service life for decades with proper maintenance.

Roof Coating Process

1. Inspection – Every project begins with a detailed evaluation to identify damage, weak points, and areas needing repair.
2. Preparation – The roof is thoroughly cleaned, and problem areas are patched to ensure the coating bonds effectively.
3. Application – Our team applies the chosen system uniformly, creating a seamless barrier against water intrusion, UV exposure, and weather extremes.
4. Follow-Up – We recommend scheduled inspections, and future recoats to keep the roof in peak condition year after year.

This process provides business owners with confidence, knowing their roof is built to withstand both Montana winters and sizzling summer sun.

FAQ

How long does a commercial roof coating last?
Most roof coatings last 10–20 years depending on the system and maintenance. With proper re-application, many roofs can be extended well beyond their original lifespan, sometimes doubling or tripling service life.

Can a roof coating be applied to any type of commercial roof?
Yes. Coatings work with metal, modified bitumen, EPDM, TPO, and more. During your inspection, our team will recommend the best system for your specific roof type and condition.

Will roof coating help with energy costs?
Absolutely. Reflective roof coatings can lower roof surface temperatures by up to 30%, cutting cooling expenses significantly during Montana’s warm summers. Over time, many businesses see energy savings that help offset installation costs.
