Roof Coating Restoration Over Metal
IMPROVE PERFORMANCE, EXTEND ROOF LIFE
The Simple, Sustainable Repair:
Metal roofs have an expected life of 40-50 years, but without frequent, costly repairs, they rarely last that long. More often than not, these repairs are just temporary solutions that don’t truly fix the problem. Metal roofs generally remain structurally sound for their entire 40-50 year life, but on top of the frequent repairs, they can be riddled with leaks. These leaks often lead to premature removal and replacement. Many metal roofs never reach their expected life because building owners grow tired of dumping money into constant repairs that never seem to work.
THE REPAIR TO END ALL REPAIRS
A Silicone Roof Coating Restoration is the optimal solution to a leak-prone metal roof. By applying a thin layer of silicone directly to the metal roof surface, you can eliminate leaks and repairs for up to 20 years. A large portion of leaks on metal roofs are the result of failure at roof seams, fasteners, or flashings.
METAL ROOF CONCERNS:
- Seams often lead to leaks
- Fasteners backout, allow heat loss, and can leak
- Roof expands and contracts with temperature swings
- Rust leads to roof failure
- Flashings deteriorate and leak
SOLUTIONS:
- 100% seamless means no leaks
- Completely encapsulates fasteners
- Elasticity ensures no gaps in roof surface
- Stops current and prevents future rusting
- Silicone is self-flashing
The metal roof pictured above was littered with rust and leaks, rendering the metal almost useless. On top of the rust and leaks, many fasteners had backed out and exposed holes in the roof. After priming the roof with silicone coating was used to seal the roof, prevent leaks, hold fasteners in place, and improve overall performance. On top of all these benefits, the roof now has a 20 year warranty.
SCOPE OF WORK
- Research history of roof
- Inspect existing roof system
- Identify all roofing problems
- Repair metal, seam, fastener, and flashing deviations
- Prepare & power-wash roof surface
- Apply Rust Primer to any rust spots
- Apply silicone coating in two coats
- Inspect entire roof to ensure compliance with specifications
Most metal roofs can be coated with a crew of 2-3 men, depending on the project size and time constraints. We also offer a translucent silicone coating for use on fiberglass skylights.
ENGINEERED FOR SUSTAINABILITY
- System application eliminates the need for tear-off and disposal
- Eliminates landfill waste

- Prepare & power-wash roof surface
- Apply Rust Primer to any rust spots
- Apply silicone coating in two coats
- Inspect entire roof to ensure compliance with specifications
- Lower toxic emissions during installation
- Reduces energy costs by reflecting sunlight and radiant heat – keeping the roof surface cooler
- Contributes toward LEED credits
- Energy Star rated
Why Silicone?
Key Benefits
- Half the cost of a roof replacement
- Easy installation
- Leak-free guarantee - up to 20-year warranty
- Resists wash-off during rain extending the installation window
- Environmentally friendly
- Completely seamless membrane
- Will not chalk or degrade from UV exposure
Save Money
By using a silicone roof coating you will pay roughly 50% the cost of a roof replacement. How?
- No roof tear off - cuts time in half
- Half the crew size needed for a replacement
- Half the crew size. Half the time. Half the cost
Easy Installation
Simple three step process:
- Clean, prep, coat
- In most cases, primers are not necessary
- Applied coating won’t wash off during rain
Great Warranties
5, 10, 15, & 20 year watertight warranties available
Environmentally Friendly
Silicone roof coatings help the environment in a multitude of ways:
- Low VOCs
- Reflects up to 88% of the suns’ UV rays, saving on energy costs and elongating HVAC lifespans
- Keeps tons of roof tear-off trash out of landfills
- Can be coated over when necessary
Seamless Membrane
Most leaks begin at the roof’s seams. Eliminate the seams and eliminate most of the trouble areas. Simple maintenance will greatly prolong the coating’s life.
