Roof coating is a liquid-applied membrane that goes over your current roof—no tear-off required. We use silicone, acrylic, and polyurethane systems to seal seams, stop ponding water, and reflect UV radiation. For building owners in Novato, this means a roof that lasts longer and a building that stays cooler in our hot, dry summers.
Here's how it works. We start with a roof condition survey, checking your substrate for rot, decay, or blistering that would ruin a coating job. Then we power-wash, apply a primer system, and spray or roll on the coating at the right dry film thickness. Cure time varies—silicone coatings can handle rain in a few hours, acrylic elastomerics need a full day of sun.
You'll know it's working because the coating creates a seamless, reflective barrier. It flexes with your roof's movement, resists UV degradation, and handles standing water without delaminating. A good coating has high tensile strength—it stretches instead of cracking when your building settles or sags.
We've coated roofs on office parks, warehouses, and apartment buildings across Novato, from Ignacio to Bel Marin Keys. The foggy mornings and heavy winter rains here test every seam. That's why we use reinforced fabrics at every lap and flashing bead, and why we back our work with a written warranty.
Roof coating isn't the right fix for every roof. If your decking is rotted or your membrane is end-of-life wear, you need a replacement. But if your roof is sound and just leaking or hot, coating is a fraction of the cost—and it can add 10–15 years of service. We'll tell you honestly which way to go, because that's how we'd want to be treated.
