Roof Coating & Waterproofing
Not every aging roof needs full replacement. Professional roof coatings can extend the life of your existing roof by 10-15 years, improve energy efficiency, and provide a seamless waterproof barrier — all at a fraction of the cost of a new roof. Summit Construction & Exteriors applies high-performance roof coatings for both residential and commercial properties across Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
Roof Coating Systems We Apply
- Silicone roof coatings — The top choice for flat and low-slope roofs in Louisiana. Silicone coatings resist ponding water, reflect UV rays, and maintain flexibility in extreme heat. Ideal for commercial buildings with flat roofs that hold water after heavy rain.
- Acrylic roof coatings — A cost-effective option for sloped roofs in good condition. Acrylic coatings are highly reflective and reduce cooling costs during Louisiana’s long, hot summers.
- Elastomeric coatings — Flexible coatings that expand and contract with temperature changes, preventing cracks and leaks. Excellent for metal roofs and older built-up roofing systems.
Benefits of Roof Coating
- Extends roof life 10-15 years without the cost or disruption of full replacement
- Reduces cooling costs — Reflective coatings lower roof surface temperature by up to 50°F
- Seamless waterproofing — Eliminates seams and joints where leaks typically start
- Environmentally friendly — Keeps existing roofing material out of landfills
- Minimal disruption — Application is faster and quieter than a full roof replacement
Is Roof Coating Right for Your Building?
Roof coatings work best when the existing roof structure is sound but the surface needs restoration. We’ll inspect your roof to determine if coating is a viable option. Good candidates typically have roofs that are aging but structurally intact, with no widespread deck damage or moisture saturation in the insulation.
