We Can Perform Your Commercial Roof Coatings
Roof coatings could be the answer for you, whether you want to maintain your brand-new commercial roof or get a few more years out of your aged roofing system. Now that we have that out of the way, let’s talk a little about the roof coating methods available from James Kate Roofing, the most reputable commercial roofing contractor.
Benefits of Commercial Roof Coatings
The roof membrane is shielded from UV rays and other potentially damaging environmental elements by applying a commercial roof coating. Applying the coating to an existing flat roof increases the roof system’s resistance to fire and adds a waterproof layer.
One of the most compelling arguments in favor of investing in a roof coating system is the fact that it is frequently more cost-effective than roof replacement. A coating system applied to your building’s new roof can provide an additional layer of defense against environmental hazards.
A roof coating can be used on various roof surfaces, including
- Built-up (BURs)
- Metal
- Modified bitumen
- Single-ply
- Sprayed polyurethane foam (SPF) systems
Types of Roof Coatings
Elastomeric Coatings
The coatings can be used to repair most roof leaks. The elastomeric roof coatings can be used throughout the year because they stretch and contract easily to adjust to winter and summer temperatures.
It is usually made using polymeric products such as acrylic alongside white pigments like titanium dioxide. This helps create a reflexive final product.
Uses for Elastomeric Coating
An elastomeric roof coating can be used to fix almost all types of roofs. Examples of common roof types that will work well with elastomeric coating include; wood, polyurethane foam, single-ply roofing, modified bitumen, metal roofs, concrete and built-up roofing. If you aren’t sure your roof type will work well with elastomeric coatings, do not hesitate to contact us. Our experts are always willing to help.
Benefits of Elastomeric Coating
These coatings can work with almost any roof type. Another advantage is they are long-lasting. The coatings are resistant to fungi and mildew among other common materials that damage roofs with time.
Another advantage of the coatings is that they are seamless, providing a neat uniform coating. Elastomeric coatings offer individual benefits to certain roof types. For instance, polyurethane foam roofing benefits greatly from the coatings by getting great ozone and UV light protection.
The heat reflexive properties also offer great benefits such as lowering cooling costs. This advantage is enjoyed regardless of the rooftop. The heat reflexive properties also offer anti-aging properties when coatings reflect harsh sun rays which age roofs with time. Elastomeric coating is also simple to use, VOC-compliant and nontoxic.
Acrylic Roof Coating
Water-based acrylic paints are typically offered in standard white, tan, and gray hues. They come in many different colors as well. This commercial roof coating can be used in places where the sun’s rays are particularly intense, allowing for the roof to serve as a reflective surface. Manufacturers of acrylic roof coatings can create various formulations tailored for use with specific materials.
Uses
To protect the roof from the sun’s UV rays, acrylics are often employed because of their great resistance to UV radiation, and because, when painted white, they aid to lower both ambient and surface temperatures. Having less heat enter the structure reduces the need for air conditioning.
Benefits
A weathered membrane surface can be brought back to life with the help of an acrylic roof coating, which can also help avoid the need for a labor-intensive and financially burdensome roof replacement.
Acrylic coatings are also highly reflective, meaning their use typically results in cost savings for building owners related to cooling.
Coatings made of acrylic are simple to apply and clean up after use. Installation only requires one component, and there are no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or other potentially harmful gasses, so crews can get the job done quickly and businesses don’t have to cease activities.
Silicone coatings
Silicone, like acrylics, is an excellent choice for roofing coatings since it reflects the sun’s rays and can therefore withstand high levels of ultraviolet radiation. A silicone roof coating is typically applied in regions where rain falls regularly and roofs are frequently wet and have ponding water.
Uses
The performance of your roof can be improved, and its lifespan can be extended, by applying a commercial roof coating. This coating will also protect your roof from damage. Roof coatings are designed to be sprayed or rolled directly onto the surface of an existing roof. Because of its monolithic structure (which means it does not have seams), its self-adhering properties (which means it does not require fasteners), and its flashing capabilities, this innovative coating will keep water out of your building.
Benefits
Silicone roof coatings have a larger solid content than other types of roof coatings, which is one of the most significant advantages of using these coatings. Once the substance has been cured, this effectively means that we are able to apply the coating in a single thicker layer without sacrificing the substance’s quality or its effectiveness. This results in significant cost savings in terms of manpower and time saved on the roof itself.
Eliminating the need for priming is another obvious advantage of silicone roof coatings. In most cases, all that is required to prepare an existing roof for applying a silicone coating is a thorough power cleaning. In most circumstances, there will be no need for us to make use of a primer. Again, this brings down the overall cost of the installation and the amount of time spent on the roof, which in turn brings down the risk of incurring any accidents or additional costs.

They showed up early the next morning, inspected my entire property, and tarped the skylight to prevent any leaks from storms that were expected the next couple days. All of the legwork that James Kate Construction did on the front end--pictures, damage spot identification, explain the process in simple terms--all made this an easy process for me thru the claim process. The roof installation group arrived at 6:30am and were done with my ENTIRE roof and skylight replacement by 1:30pm! Amazing... My property was spotless when they left and the workers were polite and professional. Gutter replacement took 2 5 hours a couple days later. The group was just like the roof group, super nice and even asked for my input on where I wanted the downspouts placed. Subtle touch, but this is huge in terms of customer service! Hopefully you never need your roof replaced, but I would highly recommend James Kate Construction if you are ever in my situation. Nothing compares to an expert keeping it simple and easy when bad things like this happen. read lessIra Collins12/15/2017 - GoogleWe hired Dustin at James Kate Roofing to replace the asphalt roof on our home in Richardson after receiving three... read moreWe hired Dustin at James Kate Roofing to replace the asphalt roof on our home in Richardson after receiving three other bids.

I dealt with probably 5 different people on different stages. They all did a wonderful job. The crew did an excellent job. here and gone same day except for skylight and it was on order. No fault of theirs. I think all of the skylights in this neighborhood were broke. That was replaced the next week. Justin followed up after job was complete. I have nothing but good things to say about this company. I hope I never have another roof job done but if I do they will get my business. My only thing that I can say is that maybe because of all the people involved sometimes some of the communication was lost and I had to track the progress myself so maybe some of the internal processes need to be looked at but don't let this sway you from using this company for your roofing needs. I won't. Not a nightmare in this job and I know everyone out there has roofing nightmares that they can tell. read lessBill Marino12/15/2014 - GoogleI have had the privilege of getting to know Dustin on a professional level as well as a personal relationship... read moreI have had the privilege of getting to know Dustin on a professional level as well as a personal relationship for over 10 years.
