Roof coatingsfor an aging commercial roof
Certified GacoFlex silicone coatings that restore the roof you already have, instead of replacing it before you need to.
Restore itrather than replace it
For an aging roof that carries a hefty price tag to replace, roof coatings are often the best option for durability and affordability, extending the lifespan of the roof up to 20 years at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
The catch is that a coating only works on a roof that is aging rather than failed. So we get on the roof first, look at the surface, the seams, the penetrations and the deck, and tell you honestly which one you are dealing with.
If it is a candidate, you get a price for a coating. If it is not, you get a price for a replacement and the photos that explain why.

Advantagesof silicone in Northeast Florida
Three reasons silicone is the coating we specify here rather than an acrylic. All three come down to the same local conditions: relentless sun, frequent afternoon storms and flat roofs that hold water.
It does not degrade in UV
Silicone is permanent and will not degrade or crack under harsh UV rays.
It handles ponding water
The material forms a seamless membrane that withstands permanent ponding water without softening.
It resists mold and staining
With proper installation, the coating creates a smooth surface that offers excellent resistance to mold, mildew, and staining.
PolyglassRegistered Contractor #8557
A coating is not the only answer for a low-slope commercial roof, so we hold the manufacturer registration that covers the other one.
We are a Polyglass Registered Contractor, registered contractor number 8557. Polyglass is a manufacturer of low-slope roofing systems, and registration is the status that puts a contractor on their books rather than simply buying their material off a distributor’s shelf.
What it gets you as the building owner is specific, and it is worth being precise about. Registration gives us access to Polyglass’s extended-term manufacturer warranties on qualifying systems, and the ability to register those warranties directly with Polyglass. That means the coverage on a qualifying roof sits with the manufacturer, on their paperwork, instead of resting entirely on a workmanship promise from whoever installed it.
It matters most on the roofs a coating cannot rescue. When we get up on your roof and find the assembly is saturated or the membrane has failed across the field, the honest answer is a new system rather than a coating over a wet roof, and that is the conversation this registration is for.

Roof coatingquestions we get asked
To keep your property dry, roofs must be maintained whether they're flat or sloped. Adding a silicone coating provides an additional layer of protection that prevents leaks and damage for up to 20 years. On a roof that still has sound decking and structure underneath, that is a far smaller number than a full tear-off and replacement, which is the whole reason owners look at coatings in the first place.
While coatings take a little more preparation and installation time than standard roofs, they're easily done without interruption to the property, as the tools and installation methods are quieter and less disruptive. Most of the time is in the prep, cleaning the surface and detailing seams and penetrations, because that is what determines whether the finished membrane holds. Occupied buildings, restaurants and offices generally keep trading throughout.
It is a long-term waterproofing solution applied over an existing roof surface to protect it against severe weather, water damage and UV light. Our team specialises in GacoFlex coatings and we are certified to install them. Applied properly it cures into a seamless membrane across the whole roof rather than a patchwork of laps and seams, which is where most aging low-slope roofs start leaking.
Practically any roofing surface, small or large, sloped or flat. In our experience the product is a particularly good fit for churches, malls, hotels, shopping centers, office buildings and industrial buildings, properties with large roof areas where a full replacement carries a hefty price tag and a long disruption. If you own one of those and the roof is aging rather than failed, a coating is worth pricing before a replacement.
Not every one, which is why we get on the roof before we quote. A coating restores an aging roof; it does not fix a roof that has already failed structurally or one with saturated insulation underneath. We inspect the surface, check the condition of the deck and the detailing, and tell you honestly whether the roof is a candidate. If it is not, we will say so rather than sell you a coating that will not hold.
It depends on the size of the roof, its condition and how much prep work the surface needs, so we price it after an inspection rather than over the phone. What we can tell you is the shape of it: a coating extends the lifespan of the roof at a fraction of the cost of replacement, which is why it is usually the first option we look at on an aging commercial roof.
