No more dreading the next storm or watching your AC bills climb every summer. Your roof starts working for you instead of against you.
Quality roof coatings reflect Texas heat instead of absorbing it. Your building stays cooler without cranking the air conditioning. Most Lumberton property owners see cooling cost reductions of 15-30% immediately—that’s real money back in your pocket every month.
The coating creates a seamless barrier that seals minor cracks and prevents water infiltration. You’re looking at 10-20 additional years of protection without the mess, noise, and expense of replacement. It’s the smart alternative when your roof needs help but doesn’t need replacing.
At Southern Roofing Solutions, we know what Lumberton roofs endure. Brutal summer heat, sudden storms, high humidity, and the occasional hurricane. Your roof takes a beating here, and most contractors only know one solution: replacement.
We’ve been protecting Southeast Texas properties long enough to know better. When other contractors are pushing $50,000 replacements, we’re often able to restore and protect your existing roof for a fraction of that cost.
Our approach cuts through the noise: honest assessment, right coating system, proper application. No shortcuts, no overselling. Just professional work that stands up to our climate because we understand what actually works here.
We start with a thorough roof inspection. Any repairs get handled first—coatings perform best on sound surfaces. Small issues now prevent big problems later.
Surface preparation comes next. We clean the roof, address problem areas, and ensure proper adhesion. This step determines how your coating will perform for the next 15-20 years. Most contractors rush this part. We don’t.
The coating application is precise work. We apply the right thickness for your roof type and local weather conditions. Most jobs complete in 1-2 days with minimal disruption. You get a seamless, protective membrane that immediately starts reflecting heat and preventing water infiltration.

We work with elastomeric, acrylic, and silicone coating systems—each chosen for specific roof types and Lumberton’s challenging conditions. Acrylic coatings excel on sloped roofs with superior UV resistance. Silicone coatings handle ponding water and severe weather. Elastomeric coatings flex with temperature changes without cracking.
Reflective properties matter most in our climate. Our coatings can drop roof surface temperatures by 30-50 degrees. That temperature difference translates directly to lower cooling costs—often 15-30% reductions in summer AC bills.
Coating thickness and application method depend on your roof material and current condition. Metal roofs get different treatment than built-up systems or single-ply membranes. We match the coating to your specific situation, not apply a one-size-fits-all approach. This attention to detail is why our coatings consistently outlast industry averages in Southeast Texas conditions.
Professional roof coatings typically cost 50-70% less than full replacement. For a typical commercial building in Lumberton, that’s often $15,000-30,000 in immediate savings.
The process is far less disruptive too. No tear-off means no dumpsters, no weeks of construction chaos, and no business interruption. Most coating projects finish in 1-2 days while replacement takes weeks.
Beyond upfront savings, you’ll see immediate cooling cost reductions. Southeast Texas property owners commonly report 15-30% lower AC bills after coating application. The coating typically pays for itself through energy savings within 3-5 years in our climate.
Professional-grade coatings last 10-20 years in Southeast Texas conditions, depending on coating type and application thickness. Silicone systems often reach 15-20 years, while quality acrylics provide 10-15 years of reliable protection.
The key is proper application thickness and surface preparation. Thin coatings fail early, especially under Texas sun and storm conditions. We apply coatings at manufacturer-specified thickness to ensure full warranty coverage and maximum lifespan.
Regular inspections help maximize coating life. Small touch-ups every few years can extend performance significantly. Many of our coated roofs in the Lumberton area are still performing well after 15+ years with minimal maintenance.
Most roof types can be successfully coated if they’re structurally sound. Metal roofs, built-up systems, modified bitumen, and single-ply membranes all respond well to proper coating applications.
Flat and low-slope roofs see the biggest energy benefits because they absorb the most heat during Texas summers. However, sloped metal roofs also benefit significantly from reflective coatings, especially under our intense sun exposure.
The roof’s current condition matters more than the type. Roofs with active leaks, significant deterioration, or structural issues need repairs first. We assess each roof individually to determine if coating is the right solution or if other repairs make more sense financially.
Absolutely. Reflective roof coatings can reduce roof surface temperatures by 30-50 degrees in Texas heat. That temperature difference translates directly to less heat transfer into your building.
Austin Energy data shows properly applied reflective coatings reduce peak summer cooling costs by up to 15%. In Lumberton’s climate, most property owners see 15-30% reductions in their cooling bills during summer months.
The savings start immediately and continue for the coating’s entire lifespan. Over 15-20 years, energy savings often exceed the original coating investment. It’s one of the most cost-effective energy efficiency improvements available for Southeast Texas buildings.
Acrylic coatings are water-based, highly reflective, and cost-effective. They perform well on sloped roofs and in dry conditions but struggle where water pools regularly.
Silicone coatings excel in wet conditions and handle ponding water without degrading. They cost more initially but last longer and provide superior weather resistance for Southeast Texas storms and humidity.
Elastomeric coatings stretch with temperature changes without cracking or losing adhesion. They’re excellent for roofs that expand and contract significantly. We select coating type based on your roof design, drainage patterns, and specific weather exposure.
Coatings work best on structurally sound roofs. Small cracks, minor leaks, and surface wear can often be addressed during the coating process, but major problems require repair first.
We identify and fix significant issues before any coating application. This might include replacing damaged sections, improving drainage, or addressing flashing problems. Proper preparation is essential for long-term coating performance and warranty coverage.
A coating isn’t a band-aid for a failing roof, but it’s an excellent way to restore and protect a roof showing normal wear. The key is honest assessment upfront—we’ll tell you if your roof is a good candidate for coating or if other solutions make more financial sense.
