ConklinCertifiedApplicator.
Exclusive contractor network. Direct manufacturer relationship.
Not every
roofer
makes this cut.
We are a Authorized certified applicator for Conklin Company — qualified to install and warranty the full system lineup. This certification requires product training, application audits, and documented project verification.
Every system,
specified.
We specify Conklin systems to match your substrate, climate zone, and warranty requirement — not whatever is available. Every application is backed by a manufacturer-issued warranty through our certified status.
Conklin RRIII
Conklin's original restoration system — in service since 1977. Elastomeric acrylic formula for metal roofs and low-slope systems without chronic ponding. White formula achieves 86% solar reflectivity. Not rated for applications with confirmed ponding water.
Manufacturer Profile
Why we specify Conklin
Conklin Company operates through an exclusive network of authorized roofing contractors — unlike GAF, Gaco, or Mule-Hide, Conklin does not sell through distribution. This direct manufacturer-to-contractor relationship allows Conklin to enforce installation quality more strictly and provide technical support that distributors cannot. Conklin's Rapid Roof system has been in the commercial market since 1977 and has installed over 1 billion square feet — one of the longest track records of any single roofing restoration system.
Conklin's Equinox silicone system is their premium ponding-water-rated offering, positioned alongside Rapid Roof for substrates where elastomeric coatings are not appropriate. As an authorized Conklin contractor, we have direct access to Conklin's technical team for specification support, warranty inspections, and project documentation.

Warranty Options
Conklin warranty tiers
As a Authorized certified applicator, we can issue every tier below. Warranty selection depends on required dry film thickness, substrate, and maintenance commitment — we document all of this in the written assessment.
Standard coverage
Maintenance: biennial. Voids if: non-authorized installer; DFT below specification.
Ponding water covered
Maintenance: annual. Voids if: Equinox system only; DFT below 25 mils.
Ponding water covered
Maintenance: annual. Voids if: Equinox system only; DFT below 30 mils.
Honest Comparison
When to specify Conklin vs. alternatives
Conklin is the preferred specification for metal roof restoration (via Rapid Roof) where Gaco F23 is not specified, and for portfolio accounts where the Conklin warranty documentation format is already integrated into the property management workflow. The exclusive contractor model adds a layer of quality control that distribution-based competitors cannot match.
Common questions
about Conklin.
Technical questions we field before every assessment on this system.
01What is Conklin Rapid Roof and what substrates is it designed for?
Rapid Roof III is Conklin's acrylic system for metal and BUR without ponding. For ponding, Conklin's Equinox silicone is specified instead.
02Why does Conklin only sell through authorized contractors instead of distributors?
Direct sales allow Conklin to audit every installation, enforce DFT requirements, and conduct warranty inspections independently. This results in lower claim rates and more reliable performance than distribution-based competitors.
03Is Conklin Equinox silicone rated for indefinite ponding water like Gaco S20?
Yes. Conklin Equinox is a 100% silicone system rated for ponding water, with NDL warranty language that explicitly covers standing water. The warranty terms are equivalent to Gaco for qualifying applications.
04What is the ROI difference between Conklin Rapid Roof and a full TPO re-roof?
Rapid Roof restoration runs $2.50–3.50/sq ft installed. New TPO runs $10–14/sq ft. On a 100,000 sq ft metal building, the savings are $750,000–$1M before accounting for Section 179 expensing.
05Does Conklin provide documentation for REIT portfolio reporting?
Yes. Conklin's warranty and condition reporting format is integrated with major property management platforms. We provide the documentation package in the format your asset manager requires.
