SiliconeRoofCoating
Silicone roof coating is a spray-applied elastomeric membrane that bonds over an existing commercial roof without tear-off. The chemistry cures on contact with moisture, which is why it is the only coating rated for indefinite ponding water. Applied at 20–30 mils dry film thickness over TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, BUR, metal, or concrete. Manufacturer-backed warranty from 10 to 30 years.

What we can
restore.
If your deck substrate is listed, this service is a candidate. If it's not — or if moisture content exceeds 30% by volume — we'll tell you that too.
No surprises.
No pressure.
Just documented work.
Non-destructive thermal imaging maps wet insulation and substrate condition across your entire roof. Written report delivered before any work begins.
Existing substrate pressure-washed, primed, and all seams, penetrations, and flashings reinforced with fabric-embedded silicone.
Certified crews spray-apply the silicone system at manufacturer-specified mil thickness. Rain-safe in 15 minutes. Most installations complete in 1–3 days.
Manufacturer-backed warranty documentation issued the day the job closes. Maintenance scheduling and recoat reminders included.

Per-square-foot pricing for Silicone Coating. Compared side by side with full-replacement baselines from 200+ projects.
Full tear-off and replacement typically runs $12–22/sq ft. Silicone coating delivers equivalent protection at 25–45% of that cost.

Common questions
about this service.
Pulled verbatim from assessment calls on this specific service.
01What makes silicone different from acrylic or urethane roof coatings?
Silicone is moisture-cured: contact with water completes the cross-link rather than breaking it.
02How long does silicone roof coating last?
Manufacturer warranties run 10, 15, 20, or 30 years depending on dry film thickness, maintenance schedule, and applicator certification tier. At warranty end, the system is recoated to the same mil thickness for another full warranty term. No tear-off, no disposal, no deck exposure. The renewal cycle continues indefinitely.
03What does silicone roof coating cost per square foot?
Most commercial installations run $2.50 to $5.00 per square foot installed. The variables are substrate condition, required mil thickness, and warranty term selected. Full roof replacement runs $12 to $22 per square foot in most U.S. markets. Silicone coating delivers equivalent waterproofing at 25 to 45% of replacement cost.
04Can silicone be applied over my existing commercial roof?
In most cases, yes. Silicone bonds to TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, built-up roofing, metal, and concrete substrates without tear-off. Candidacy depends on wet insulation percentage (under 25% typically qualifies) and deck integrity. The free infrared moisture survey confirms candidacy in writing before any scope commitment.
05Does silicone roof coating qualify for Section 179 tax deduction?
Yes. The IRS classifies coating restoration on an existing roof as a repair expense, eligible for immediate Section 179 deduction up to the annual limit. Full replacement is capitalized and depreciated over 39 years. On a 100,000 sq ft building, the first-year tax benefit on restoration is typically 5 to 10x higher than replacement.
