Roof coating in San Antonio
Coating beats replacement, when it's the right choice. We'll tell you if it is.
Roof coatings seal and protect the surface you already have, adding years of life without the cost of replacement. We apply acrylic, silicone and polyurethane coatings, and we choose among them based on your roof type and what it's exposed to. We're based in Boerne and work across 14 Texas towns, San Antonio and Austin among them.
Most roofs fail because they were treated as expenses instead of assets. Our early projects taught us which coatings actually stick to which roofs, and 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.
Which roofs we coat
Metal roofs. Metal needs specialized coating. We use coatings made to stick to metal, stop rust and seal seams.
TPO roofs. TPO needs specialized coating too. We use coatings made to stick to it, make it reflect heat again and seal joints to help prevent leaks.
Flat roofs. A liquid-applied coating bonds to the existing roof with no tearing off, and bridges minor cracks before they become problems.
If you need the full process on a large flat or metal roof, see fluid-applied roof coating systems.

Can your roof be coated?
Most coating jobs come down to one question: is the roof still solid underneath?
Usually can be coated
- Metal roofs with rust on the surface or worn seams
- TPO roofs that no longer reflect heat but are still solid
- Flat roofs with minor cracks
- A repaired spot that needs sealing against water
Usually should not be coated
- A roof that is rotted or soft underneath
- Damage that goes deeper than the surface
Repair, coat or replace your roof
Cracks and leaks don't always call for a new roof. These are the three options we weigh.
 |  |  | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best when | Cracks or leaks are in one area | The roof is aging but still solid | The roof is past saving |
| What we do | Repair the damaged area, seal the seams and coat the patch | Clean off debris, repair cracks, prime the surface and apply the coating | Take off the old roof and install a new one |
| Old roof removed? | No | No | Yes |
We'll recommend one after we've seen your roof. The inspection is free.
Small problems, small fixes
Cracks and leaks don't always call for a new roof. We repair the damaged area, seal the seams and the metal trim around edges, and coat the repair to stop water getting in.
Regular inspections catch damage before leaks start. Flat and metal roofs need attention they usually don't get.

We clean off debris, repair cracks and prime the surface for a strong bond. Proper prep is everything.
Apply the coating
The coating goes on in multiple coats for uniform protection.

Questions about roof coating
Is coating a good alternative to replacing the roof?▼
Yes, if your roof is still solid but aging. We assess your roof to determine the best option. If it isn't a candidate, we'll say so.
How long will it add to my roof?▼
When the roof is still solid, you can expect a decade or more of added life, usually at a fraction of replacement cost. We confirm that when we assess your roof.
Can you coat a roof with existing damage or leaks?▼
We repair the damage first, then apply the coating. Cracks, holes and damaged roofing must be fixed before coating, because the coating is only as good as the surface beneath it.
How long does it take?▼
It depends on the size of the roof and the shape it's in. You'll get the actual costs and timelines in your assessment, before you decide anything.
Do you handle commercial and industrial roofs?▼
Yes. We serve residential, commercial and industrial properties, from small homes to large facility roofs. We assess each roof first to confirm a coating is the right call.
Is a roof coating assessment free?▼
Yes. We offer a free, no-obligation roof inspection and estimate, whether or not you move forward. If your roof isn't a candidate for a coating, we'll say so.
How much does it cost?▼
Cost depends on roof size, current condition and coating type. We give you a free estimate after we inspect your roof.
How often should I have my roof inspected?▼
Inspect your roof once yearly and after major storms. Regular inspections catch small issues early, while they're still small enough to repair.
Not sure your roof can be coated?
That's what the inspection is for. We'll give you an honest read on what's actually needed. The inspection is free, with no obligation.
