You’re looking at a roof that’s showing its age. Cracking from the heat. Granules washing away after every storm. Energy bills climbing every summer as your AC works overtime against a roof that’s absorbing heat like a sponge.
Roof coatings change that equation completely. A professional coating system can add 10-20 years to your roof’s lifespan, turning what feels like an emergency into a smart, long-term investment. These coatings reflect sunlight and reduce heat absorption, which in Austin’s high temperatures can reduce interior cooling needs significantly.
Your roof becomes a shield instead of a liability. The coating creates a seamless, waterproof barrier over existing roofs, preventing leaks and damage. No more watching the forecast and worrying about the next leak.
We understand what Ames, TX roofs go through. In summer, the mercury can soar well above 100°F, subjecting roofs to intense heat for months on end. This prolonged exposure to high temperatures can cause roofing materials to deteriorate.
We’ve been protecting Texas properties through decades of scorching summers, sudden hail storms, and those temperature swings that can hit 30-40 degrees in a single day. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 100°F in many parts of Texas, causing roofing materials to expand, contract, and deteriorate faster than in cooler regions. Texas can experience temperature swings of 30-40 degrees in a single day.
That’s why we don’t just apply coatings—we match the right coating system to your specific roof type and local conditions. Whether it’s metal, built-up, single-ply, or modified bitumen, we’ve got the expertise and equipment to do it right the first time. Our team understands that in Ames, TX, where Texas sees more hail events than any other US state, with over 700 hailstorms reported in 2022 alone, your coating needs to withstand more than just heat.
First, we thoroughly clean and prepare your roof surface. Before applying the coating, we pressure wash the surface of your roof to remove dirt, debris, and any existing coatings that may hinder adhesion. This step is critical—shortcuts here mean coating failure later.
Next comes the application itself. We apply multiple layers of roof coating with state-of-the-art equipment to create a seamless barrier that seals and protects your roof. We use professional-grade spray equipment that ensures even coverage and proper thickness. Commercial roof coatings are typically best applied by professional contractors. They require specialized equipment and expertise to ensure proper application and long-lasting protection.
Finally, we conduct a complete quality inspection. Once the coating is applied, we perform a final inspection to ensure the job meets quality standards and exceeds your expectations. You get documentation of the work completed and maintenance recommendations to maximize your coating’s lifespan.

Not all coatings work on all roofs, and that matters in Texas heat. Commercial roof coatings can be applied to various roof types, including metal, single-ply, built-up, modified bitumen, and spray polyurethane foam roofs. We offer specialized coatings for each roof type to ensure optimal protection.
Acrylic coatings excel on sloped roofs and provide excellent UV resistance. Elastomeric or acrylic coatings are reflective and prevent rust. These acrylic coatings are strong and flexible, making them ideal for metal roofing. Silicone systems handle ponding water and extreme weather. Silicone is great for ponding areas and provides 10-15 years of protection. Polyurethane coatings offer superior durability for high-traffic areas.
In Ames, TX, where Texas sees more hail events than any other US state with over 700 hailstorms reported in 2022 alone, we often recommend impact-resistant formulations. Heat-reflective coatings help businesses save on energy bills and extend the life of HVAC systems, which is crucial when your AC is fighting 100-degree days for months at a time.
Typically, you could reduce energy use by 10-25%, depending on your roof’s current condition and insulation. In Texas heat, those savings add up fast. Metal roofs with coatings can lower cooling expenses by 10-25%, and the same principle applies to properly coated existing roofs.
Energy Star data shows that reflective roofs in Dallas–Fort Worth slash summer cooling demand by up to 20 percent. When you’re running AC from May through October in Texas, that 20% reduction translates to hundreds of dollars in annual savings. Reflective roof coatings keep heat out of your building and save money on air conditioning, with Austin Energy offering rebates of $0.20 per square foot.
With proper application and maintenance, coatings can last 10–15 years, even under Texas conditions. Depending on the type of coating and environmental conditions, a commercial roof coating can last between 10 to 20 years. Regular maintenance and inspections will help maximize its lifespan.
The key is professional application and choosing the right coating for your specific roof type and local conditions. Texas weather presents some of the most demanding conditions for roofing materials anywhere in the United States. Our climate combines several factors that accelerate roof aging. That’s why we use only proven coating systems designed for extreme climates, not bargain products that fail after a few Texas summers.
Yes, commercial roof coatings can often be applied over existing roof surfaces, including shingles, making them a cost-effective alternative to roof replacement. The coatings create a seamless, waterproof barrier to protect the roof. As long as the surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound, most flat and metal roofs are good candidates.
We evaluate each roof individually because proper adhesion is critical for long-term performance. When applied by experienced roofing professionals, roof coatings can prevent minor leaks. However, you should always fix roof damage before adding the roof coating. If your roof has structural issues or extensive damage, we’ll recommend repairs first to ensure the coating system performs as designed.
When you choose a qualified professional for your roof coating needs, you get years of experience in the industry, as well as the knowledge and skills to tackle even the most challenging roof leaks. Professional application means proper surface preparation, correct coating thickness, and specialized spray equipment that ensures even coverage.
You can restore small roofs in good condition as a weekend project. Still, a professional roof coating pro should restore larger and more complicated roofs. In Texas, where coating failure can mean expensive damage during the next storm season, professional application isn’t just recommended—it’s essential. We carry the insurance, warranties, and expertise to stand behind our work when Mother Nature tests it.
The best candidates are structurally sound roofs showing signs of aging but not extensive damage. If your current roof is damaged and facing potential repairs, roof coating options can help protect your investment. Roof coatings can make your current roofing look and function like new without the expense of replacement.
We look for roofs with minor granule loss, small cracks, or early UV damage—problems that coatings excel at addressing. During a roof inspection or while applying a roof coating, if we determine roof repairs need to be made, we’ll give you a full report that includes the best options. If your roof has major structural issues, extensive ponding, or severe damage, we’ll be honest about when replacement makes more sense than coating.
Yes, several Texas utilities offer rebates for energy-efficient roof improvements. Austin Energy will rebate $0.20 per square foot of coating applied, and the spray-on coating reflectiveness must have a minimum reflectivity of 75%, with ASTM test result data verifying the 75% reflectivity accompanying the rebate application.
Some regions offer rebates or tax incentives for energy-efficient home upgrades: Federal Tax Credits are available for ENERGY STAR-rated products. Many states offer additional financial incentives. Some insurers provide discounts for impact-resistant coatings. We help customers navigate available rebate programs and ensure their coating system meets all qualification requirements for maximum savings.
