Roof Coating & Restoration Utah | Best Roofing Utah

What if you could add years of life to your existing roof, fix minor leaks, and improve your building’s energy efficiency, all without the cost and disruption of a full roof replacement? With a professional roof restoration system from Best Roofing Utah, you can. We are certified roof coating contractors, specializing in applying advanced fluid-applied roofing systems that create a seamless, durable, and reflective membrane over your existing roof.

A roof coating, or roof renewal system, is an intelligent, cost-effective solution for extending the life of your commercial or residential roof, providing renewed protection and superior performance.

Why Choose Roof Restoration Over Replacement?

For roofs that are structurally sound but are beginning to show signs of age, a restoration coating is often the smartest choice.

• Significant Cost Savings: A roof coating is typically a fraction of the cost of a full tear-off and replacement. You save on expensive labor, tear-off costs, and landfill disposal fees.
• Extends the Life of Your Roof: A professional coating can add 10 to 20 years or more to the functional life of your existing roof, delaying the need for a major capital expense and improving your return on investment.
• Creates a Seamless, Monolithic Membrane: The elastomeric roof coating creates a single, continuous waterproof membrane across your entire roof. This seals small cracks, seams, screw heads, and penetrations, which are the most common sources of leaks.
• Improves Energy Efficiency (Cool Roofs): Most of our coatings are highly reflective, Energy Star rated “cool roof” systems. By reflecting up to 88% of UV rays, they can dramatically lower your roof’s surface temperature, reducing your building’s cooling costs by up to 30% in the summer and potentially making you eligible for utility rebates.
• Sustainable & Eco-Friendly: Restoration is a green solution. It reduces waste by keeping your old roofing material out of the landfill and lowers your building’s energy consumption.

Types of Roof Coatings We Apply

We use different types of coatings depending on the roof material and the specific performance goals.

• Acrylic Coatings: A water-based, cost-effective solution that provides excellent UV resistance and reflectivity. These elastomeric coatings are breathable and ideal for roofs with good, positive drainage.
• Silicone Coatings: A moisture-cured coating that is extremely durable and offers superior protection against ponding water. Because it doesn’t absorb water, it’s the perfect choice for flat roofs that don’t drain perfectly.
• Polyurethane Coatings: A highly durable option that offers excellent resistance to foot traffic, impact, and chemicals. This makes it ideal for roofs with a lot of mechanical equipment or high-traffic areas.

Our Meticulous Roof Restoration Process

A successful coating application depends on meticulous preparation. Our process ensures maximum adhesion and long-term performance.

1. Infrared Moisture Survey & Inspection: We can perform an infrared scan to detect any trapped moisture beneath your existing roof membrane. We then conduct a thorough visual inspection of the entire roof surface.
2. Thorough Roof Cleaning & Preparation: We start by power washing the entire roof surface to remove all dirt, debris, and loose material that could prevent adhesion.
3. Primer Application: We apply a specialized primer to ensure the coating will bond securely to the existing roof surface, whether it’s metal, TPO, or another material.
4. Seam & Flashing Repair: This is a critical step. We reinforce and seal all seams, penetrations, and flashing details with fabric-reinforced mastic to address potential weak points.
5. Professional Coating Application: We apply the coating system in multiple layers using professional-grade sprayers and rollers to achieve the correct, specified thickness (measured in dry mils) for a durable and seamless finish.

What Roofs Are Good Candidates for Coating?

A coating can be applied to a variety of roof types, provided they are in fair, serviceable condition.

• Metal Roofs: Coating is an excellent way to stop leaks on a rusted metal roof, prevent future rust, and improve energy efficiency.
• TPO, EPDM, and PVC Roofs: A coating can restore the surface of an aging single-ply membrane, extending its life for many years.
• Modified Bitumen & Built-Up Roofs: Coatings can seal the “alligatoring” and cracking that occurs on old asphalt-based flat roofs.
• Sprayed Polyurethane Foam (SPF) Roofs: A new coating is the standard way to protect and renew an SPF roof.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Coatings

Is a roof coating the same as just painting my roof?

No. Paint is purely cosmetic and has no waterproofing or protective qualities. A roof coating is a much thicker, elastomeric membrane specifically engineered to seal leaks, reflect heat, and withstand harsh weather for many years.

How long does a roof coating last?

Depending on the type of coating and the thickness of the application, a professional roof restoration system can last 10-20 years before a re-coat may be needed. Many systems come with a 10, 15, or 20-year manufacturer’s warranty.

Can you coat a roof that is actively leaking?

Yes. Our process involves identifying the source of all leaks and making durable repairs to those areas before we apply the final top coat. The finished system will be completely waterproof.

How does a roof coating handle Utah’s heavy snow and ice?

The seamless, waterproof membrane prevents leaks from ice dams and melting snow. The elastomeric properties allow the coating to expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking, maintaining its integrity through Utah’s freeze-thaw cycles.

Is my roof too old to be coated?

Not necessarily. The decision to coat a roof is based on its condition, not its age. If the underlying structure is sound and the membrane is not too deteriorated, even an older roof can be a great candidate for restoration.
