Fluid-applied roof coating in San Antonio
A liquid coating that goes over the roof you have. If the roof is still solid, it can give it a decade or more of added life.
A fluid-applied coating goes over the roof you already have and forms one seamless, waterproof layer, without tearing off the old roof. We apply it to flat, nearly flat and metal roofs when the roof underneath is still solid. We're based in Boerne and work across 14 Texas towns, San Antonio and Austin among them.
That last part matters. We focus on flat, nearly flat and metal roofs because that's where a coating does the most good. We've watched owners spend fifty thousand dollars on a new roof when fifteen thousand in restoration would have bought them another decade.
We don't push coatings on every roof. When a roof is still solid and the damage is only on the surface, we're honest about it. When it isn't, we'll tell you that too.
A good roof coating is the difference between planning and hoping. We help you plan.

Is a fluid-applied coating right for your roof?
A coating only works on a roof that's still solid. Here's how we sort that out.
Usually a good fit
- Flat, nearly flat and metal roofs that are aging but still solid
- Damage that is only on the surface
- Seams, cracks and pipe openings that are starting to leak
- Owners who want more life from the roof they already have
Usually a better answer elsewhere
- A roof that is rotted or soft underneath. Roof replacement is the honest answer.
- A steep shingle roof on a house. Coatings do the most good on flat and metal roofs.
Coat, repair or replace your roof
An aging flat roof usually has more than one way forward. These are the three we weigh.
 |  |  | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best when | The damage is in one or two spots | The roof is aging but still solid | The roof is past saving |
| What we do | Fix the damaged area and seal it | Clean and repair the surface, then apply the coating in even layers | Take off the old roof, repair what's underneath and install a new one |
| How much of the roof | Only the damaged areas | The whole surface | All of it, old roof included |
| Old roof removed? | No | No | Yes |
The inspection settles which one fits your roof. It's free, with no obligation.
Why flat and metal roofs need a different eye
These roofs handle water differently than sloped ones. A coating only holds up if you know where the water goes, how much the roof moves in the heat, and that the surface has been properly cleaned and repaired, so we spend time on the inspection. Our early projects taught us which coatings actually stick to which roofs, and how to read where the wear is, where the water goes, and what can be saved and what can't.

How a fluid-applied roof coating goes on
You'll get updates during the work, and we document everything for your records.
Roof assessment
We look at what shape your roof is in, what it's made of and how water drains off it, then choose the right coating for it.
Surface preparation
We clean and repair the roof surface, removing debris and fixing cracks. Proper prep ensures the coating bonds correctly and lasts longer. The coating is only as good as the surface beneath it, and a rushed prep job creates failures later.
Coating application
We apply the liquid coating in even layers, following the maker's instructions. It seals seams, weak spots and the places where pipes and vents come through.
Final inspection
We test seams and verify coverage across the entire roof. You get a full report with photos showing your new, protected roof.
What a roof coating does for the building
A coating extends the life of a roof that's already doing its job. It buys time before a full replacement becomes necessary, and it lets you invest those dollars somewhere else in your business. It also keeps water out and reflects heat away from the building.
One seamless layer
The coating goes on as a liquid and forms a seamless layer over the roof you already have.
Your old roof stays on
The coating bonds to the existing roof, with no tearing off.
Seals the weak spots
Seams, cracks and the places where pipes come through are repaired, then covered.
Matched to the roof
We apply acrylic, silicone and polyurethane coatings, chosen for your roof type and climate exposure.
Reflects the sun
A reflective surface bounces heat away and eases the load on your cooling.
A report with photos
When we finish, you get a full report showing the work on your roof.
What affects the cost of a roof coating
Cost depends on roof size, current condition and coating type. You get a free estimate after the inspection.
- Roof size
- More surface means more coating and more time on the roof.
- Condition
- Cracks, open seams and worn spots get repaired before any coating goes on.
- Coating type
- Acrylic, silicone and polyurethane suit different roofs and weather.
- Drainage
- We check how water drains off the roof before we choose a coating.
- Roof details
- Rooftop units, pipes and vents each need careful sealing.

Questions about fluid-applied roof coating systems
How long does a coating add to a roof?▼
When the roof underneath is still solid, a coating gives it a decade or more of added life, usually at a fraction of replacement cost.
Can a coating go on any roof?▼
Liquid coatings work on TPO, metal, flat and tar roofs. We assess your roof first to confirm the right coating for your material and condition.
Will a coating stop my leak?▼

What do I get when the coating is finished?▼
You get one seamless, waterproof layer over your existing roof, plus a full report with photos. The surface also reflects heat away and eases the load on your cooling.
Should I coat my roof or replace it?▼
Coat the roof if the roof underneath is still solid and the damage is only on the surface. If it isn't, we'll tell you, and we'll replace it right. The inspection settles it, and it's free.
