Your energy bills drop. Your roof stops leaking. Your peace of mind returns.
That’s what happens when you choose roof coatings over costly replacement. Instead of tearing off your entire roof, we apply a protective barrier that reflects Louisiana’s brutal heat and seals out moisture. The result? Interior temperatures stay cooler, your HVAC system works less, and your monthly bills shrink.
Most Longville property owners see immediate energy savings. The coating creates a permanent shield against UV damage, ponding water, and the kind of weather that makes roofs fail fast in our climate.
We understand what roofs face in Longville, LA. The summer heat that pushes cooling systems to their limits. The sudden storms that test every seal and seam. The humidity that never seems to quit.
We’ve been protecting Louisiana properties long enough to know that cookie-cutter solutions don’t work here. That’s why we use Energy Star certified coating systems designed specifically for Gulf Coast conditions. Our application process accounts for local weather patterns, ensuring your coating bonds properly and performs when you need it most.
First, we inspect your roof thoroughly. We’re looking for structural soundness, identifying any repairs needed before coating, and measuring the surface area. This isn’t a quick glance—we document everything so you know exactly what you’re getting.
Next comes surface preparation. We clean the roof, make necessary repairs, and ensure proper adhesion. Then we apply the coating using professional-grade equipment that ensures even coverage and proper thickness. Most applications complete in 1-2 days depending on roof size and weather conditions.
Finally, we conduct a complete walkthrough with you. You’ll see the finished work, understand your maintenance schedule, and receive all warranty documentation. The coating typically cures within hours, immediately beginning to reflect heat and protect your investment.

Every roof coating project includes thorough surface preparation, professional-grade materials, and complete application using commercial sprayers and rollers. We handle both residential and commercial properties, working with metal roofs, built-up systems, and single-ply membranes.
In Longville’s climate, timing matters. We schedule applications during optimal weather windows and use coating systems that cure properly in Louisiana humidity. Your service includes detailed documentation for warranty purposes and a maintenance schedule designed for local conditions.
The coating we apply is 100% tax deductible as a maintenance expense, not a capital improvement. This means immediate tax benefits while extending your roof’s life and cutting energy costs. Most clients see payback within 2-3 years through reduced cooling expenses alone.
Energy Star certified roof coatings typically reduce cooling costs by 20% on average, even during peak summer usage in Louisiana. For most Longville properties, this translates to $200-500 annually in savings depending on building size and current roof condition.
The savings come from reflecting solar heat instead of absorbing it. A white or reflective coating can reduce roof surface temperatures by 50-80 degrees compared to traditional dark roofing. Your HVAC system runs less frequently, uses less energy, and experiences less wear over time.
These aren’t theoretical numbers. We track actual utility bill comparisons from local clients, and the savings are consistent year after year. Many property owners see payback on their coating investment within 24-36 months through energy savings alone.
Absolutely. Metal roofs are actually ideal candidates for coating systems, especially in Louisiana’s climate. The coating bonds directly to metal surfaces, creating a seamless barrier that prevents rust, seals fastener holes, and reflects heat more effectively than bare metal.
Louisiana’s humidity and temperature swings cause metal roofs to expand and contract constantly. Quality roof coatings are designed to flex with this movement without cracking or peeling. We use elastomeric formulations that maintain their integrity through freeze-thaw cycles and extreme heat.
The coating also eliminates the thermal shock that shortens metal roof life. Instead of absorbing heat during the day and radiating it at night, the coated surface maintains more stable temperatures. This reduces stress on the metal and fasteners, preventing premature failure.
Professional-grade roof coatings typically last 10-15 years in South Louisiana conditions when properly applied and maintained. The key is using coating systems specifically formulated for Gulf Coast weather and following manufacturer maintenance guidelines.
Our coating systems resist UV degradation, ponding water, and the thermal cycling that destroys inferior products. We apply coatings at proper thickness—typically 20-25 mils dry film thickness—which provides adequate protection against Louisiana’s intense sun and frequent storms.
Maintenance is minimal but important. Annual inspections catch small issues before they become problems. Simple cleaning and occasional touch-ups extend coating life significantly. Many of our clients renew their coatings every 10-12 years as preventive maintenance, creating virtually unlimited roof life.
Roof coatings excel at sealing small leaks and preventing new ones from developing. The coating creates a monolithic membrane that covers seams, fasteners, and minor cracks that typically cause roof leaks. However, major structural issues must be repaired before coating application.
During our inspection, we identify all leak sources and repair them properly before applying coating. This might include replacing damaged flashing, resealing penetrations, or addressing ponding water issues. The coating then provides long-term protection against future leak development.
For roofs with multiple small leaks or widespread minor damage, coating often provides better value than piecemeal repairs. Instead of playing “whack-a-mole” with individual leaks, the coating addresses the entire roof surface at once, preventing new problems while solving existing ones.
Roof coatings typically cost 30-50% less than complete roof replacement while providing many of the same benefits. For a typical Longville commercial building, coating might run $3-6 per square foot while replacement costs $8-15 per square foot or more.
The savings come from eliminating tear-off costs, disposal fees, and structural work often required with replacement. Coating applications also complete faster with less business disruption. Most coating projects finish in 1-3 days versus weeks for replacement.
Beyond initial cost, coatings offer tax advantages that replacement doesn’t. Coating expenses are fully deductible as maintenance in the year applied, while replacement must be depreciated over many years. This immediate tax benefit further improves coating economics for most property owners.
Yes, we provide comprehensive warranties covering both materials and workmanship. Material warranties typically run 10-20 years depending on the coating system selected, while our workmanship warranty covers application quality and performance.
Our warranties are backed by manufacturer support and our local reputation. We’ve been serving Louisiana properties long enough to stand behind our work completely. If coating failure occurs due to application issues, we return to make it right at no charge.
We also provide detailed maintenance guidelines and inspection schedules to help you maximize coating life and maintain warranty coverage. Most coating failures result from deferred maintenance or improper application—both of which we address proactively with our clients.
