Your roof absorbs massive amounts of heat every day, forcing your AC to work overtime. That’s why your CLECO or ENTERGY bills hit $400, $500, or more during Louisiana summers.
Roof coatings change everything. They reflect up to 90% of sunlight away from your building, dropping attic temperatures by 15-30°F instantly. Your AC finally gets a break.
The result? Most Moss Bluff property owners see 10-15% reductions in cooling costs within their first month. On a $450 electric bill, that’s $45-68 back in your pocket every single month.
We understand what Moss Bluff roofs face. The relentless Gulf Coast sun, sudden storms, humidity that never quits.
We’ve been protecting Southwest Louisiana properties through it all. Our team knows exactly which coating systems perform in this climate and which ones fail after the first hurricane season.
Every project gets the same attention—whether you’re protecting a Lake Charles commercial building or a family home in Sulphur. We use only Energy Star certified systems with long-term warranties because your roof needs to work as hard as you do.
First, we inspect your roof thoroughly. Not every roof is a candidate for coatings, and we’ll tell you straight if yours isn’t ready. We check for structural soundness, existing damage, and compatibility with your current roofing system.
Next comes surface preparation. We clean, repair minor issues, and ensure proper adhesion. This step determines how long your coating lasts, so we don’t rush it.
Finally, we apply the coating system in multiple layers. Each coat needs proper curing time—rushing this process leads to failures down the road. Most installations complete within 2-3 days, weather permitting. You’ll start feeling the temperature difference immediately.

Every roof coating project includes thorough surface preparation, premium-grade materials, and professional application. We use silicone-based systems for flat roofs and acrylic systems for sloped applications—each chosen specifically for Louisiana’s climate challenges.
Your coating creates a seamless, waterproof membrane that stops leaks before they start. It reflects heat, resists UV damage, and stands up to ponding water that would destroy traditional roofing materials.
In Moss Bluff’s humid environment, this matters more than most places. Our coatings allow your roof to breathe while blocking moisture penetration—preventing the mold and mildew problems that plague Gulf Coast buildings. The system is renewable too, meaning we can add additional layers years later to extend protection even further.
Most Louisiana property owners see 10-15% reductions in cooling costs, which translates to $45-68 monthly savings on a typical $450 electric bill. The savings come from reflecting heat away from your building instead of absorbing it.
Roof coatings can drop your attic temperature by 15-30°F during summer months. That means your AC system doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures. In larger commercial buildings, we’ve documented energy reductions equivalent to 15,800 kilowatt-hours per year—roughly the annual usage of 10 standard air conditioning units.
The exact savings depend on your building size, current insulation levels, and how much direct sun exposure your roof receives. But in Louisiana’s climate, the physics work in your favor every single day.
Most existing roof types can accept coatings, but not all. Silicone coatings adhere to metal, asphalt, concrete, and most single-ply membrane systems. The main exception is tar and gravel roofs, which require different preparation methods.
The key factor isn’t your roof material—it’s structural condition. Your roof needs to be sound with no major leaks or structural damage. Minor issues like small cracks or worn areas actually get sealed during the coating process, but major problems need addressing first.
We always start with a thorough inspection to determine compatibility. If your roof isn’t ready for coatings, we’ll tell you exactly what needs fixing first. There’s no point in applying coatings over fundamental problems—it just wastes your money and delays real solutions.
Quality roof coatings typically last 10-15 years in Louisiana’s climate with proper maintenance, and many systems can be renewed indefinitely by adding additional layers. The key is choosing the right system for your specific conditions and having it professionally installed.
Louisiana’s heat, humidity, and storm activity do test coating systems more than milder climates. That’s why we only use Energy Star certified materials designed specifically for Gulf Coast conditions. These systems resist UV degradation, thermal cycling, and moisture penetration that would compromise lesser products.
The renewable aspect is crucial for long-term value. When your coating reaches the end of its useful life, we can clean the surface and apply a fresh layer rather than tearing off and starting over. This approach can extend your roof’s life indefinitely with proper care, making it far more cost-effective than repeated roof replacements.
Yes, maintenance roof coatings are 100% tax deductible in the year of installation for commercial properties under Section 179 of the tax code. This can significantly reduce your net cost, though you should confirm specifics with your CPA.
The deduction applies because coatings are considered maintenance rather than capital improvements. You’re extending your existing roof’s life, not replacing it with a fundamentally different system. This distinction matters for tax purposes and cash flow planning.
For commercial property owners, this tax benefit combined with immediate energy savings often means roof coatings pay for themselves within 2-3 years. Residential applications don’t qualify for the same deductions, but homeowners may be eligible for energy efficiency rebates through their utility company. We can help you understand what incentives apply to your specific situation.
Storm damage to coated roofs is typically much easier and less expensive to repair than damage to traditional roofing systems. Small punctures or tears can often be patched with additional coating material rather than requiring extensive reconstruction.
The seamless membrane created by roof coatings actually provides superior storm resistance compared to systems with multiple seams, fasteners, and potential failure points. Wind uplift is reduced because there are fewer edges for wind to grab, and the flexible coating moves with your building rather than cracking under stress.
When damage does occur, repairs are straightforward. We clean the affected area, apply primer if needed, and patch with matching coating material. The repair integrates seamlessly with the existing system. For major damage, insurance typically covers coating repairs just like any other roofing system—often with lower deductibles because repair costs are generally much less than full replacement costs.
Roof coatings work best when your existing roof structure is sound but the surface is showing wear. If you’re dealing with minor leaks, surface cracking, or high energy bills but no major structural issues, coatings are often the smarter choice both financially and practically.
The decision comes down to cost versus benefit. Roof replacements in Louisiana typically run $8,500-$30,000+ depending on size and materials, plus the disruption of tear-off and reconstruction. Quality coatings cost significantly less and can extend your roof’s life by 10-15 years or more.
We always start with an honest assessment of your roof’s condition. If the structure is compromised or if you have major leak issues that coatings can’t address, we’ll recommend replacement instead. But nearly 50% of reported “roof leaks” aren’t actually roofing system problems—they’re often related to flashing, penetrations, or drainage issues that coatings can solve at a fraction of replacement cost.
