When Port Arthur temperatures hit 90+ degrees, your uncoated roof becomes a heat magnet. Metal roofs can reach 175°F, forcing your AC to work overtime and driving up energy bills.
Our professional roof coatings change that equation completely. These reflective systems bounce up to 85% of sunlight away from your building, keeping roof temperatures 50°F cooler than conventional surfaces.
The result? Your cooling costs drop by 10-30%, your roof lasts longer, and your indoor comfort improves—even during the hottest Gulf Coast summers.
At Southern Roofing Solutions, we understand Port Arthur’s unique challenges. We’ve seen how Gulf Coast weather punishes roofs—from hurricane-force winds to relentless summer heat.
As a family-owned company, we’ve built our reputation on doing the job right the first time. Our customers consistently tell us we’re the cleanest, most efficient roofing company they’ve worked with.
We know this area’s weather patterns, building codes, and the specific coating solutions that perform best in Southeast Texas conditions.
First, we inspect your roof thoroughly to identify any repairs needed before coating application. This step ensures the coating bonds properly and performs as expected.
Next, we clean and prepare the surface, addressing any existing issues like leaks or damaged areas. Proper preparation is crucial for long-term coating performance.
Finally, we apply the coating system using professional-grade equipment and techniques. The process typically takes 1-2 days depending on roof size, and we clean up completely when finished—customers often say their property looks cleaner than when we started.

We offer elastomeric, acrylic, and silicone coating systems designed for Port Arthur’s climate. Each type provides excellent UV protection, waterproofing, and energy efficiency benefits.
Port Arthur’s proximity to the Gulf of Mexico means your roof faces unique challenges—salt air, high humidity, and severe weather events. Our coating selections are specifically chosen to handle these conditions while providing maximum energy savings.
Whether you have a flat commercial roof, metal building, or residential shingle system, we match the right coating technology to your specific needs and budget. The investment typically pays for itself through energy savings within 3-5 years.
Most Port Arthur property owners see 10-30% reduction in cooling costs after professional roof coating application. In our Gulf Coast climate where AC runs constantly from May through September, this translates to significant monthly savings.
The exact savings depend on your building size, current insulation levels, and roof type. However, customers regularly report $50-200+ monthly reductions in summer electric bills.
Over the coating’s 10-15 year lifespan, these energy savings often exceed the initial coating investment by 2-3 times.
Professional-grade roof coatings are specifically engineered for Gulf Coast conditions. They’re designed to handle high winds, driving rain, temperature fluctuations, and UV exposure that Port Arthur experiences year-round.
Elastomeric coatings, for example, expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking or losing adhesion. They also provide excellent waterproofing protection against the heavy rains common in Southeast Texas.
We select coating systems with proven track records in similar coastal climates, and proper application by experienced contractors ensures maximum durability and storm resistance.
Quality roof coatings typically last 10-15 years in Port Arthur’s climate when professionally applied and properly maintained. Some premium systems can perform well for up to 20 years.
The lifespan depends on factors like coating type, roof condition at application, weather exposure, and maintenance. Regular inspections and minor touch-ups can extend coating life significantly.
Even when recoating becomes necessary, the process is much less expensive and disruptive than full roof replacement, making it a cost-effective long-term roofing strategy.
Yes, most roof coatings can be applied directly over existing materials like metal, modified bitumen, EPDM, TPO, and even some shingle systems. This eliminates costly tear-off and disposal expenses.
However, the existing roof must be in reasonable condition. We thoroughly inspect the surface first, addressing any significant damage, leaks, or structural issues before coating application.
This retrofit approach saves time and money while providing excellent protection and energy efficiency benefits. It’s often the most practical solution for extending roof life without full replacement.
Acrylic coatings offer excellent reflectivity and are cost-effective for most applications. They’re water-based, easy to apply, and provide good UV protection in Port Arthur’s sunny climate.
Silicone coatings excel in waterproofing and durability, making them ideal for areas with ponding water or extreme weather exposure. They maintain flexibility over time and resist chalking.
Elastomeric coatings provide superior flexibility and can bridge small cracks as buildings expand and contract. They’re particularly effective on metal roofs and in climates with significant temperature swings like ours.
Most roofs 5-20 years old are excellent candidates for coating, especially if they’re showing early signs of wear but aren’t severely damaged. Flat or low-slope roofs typically benefit most from coating systems.
We evaluate factors like current roof condition, leak history, insulation levels, and your energy efficiency goals. If major structural repairs are needed, those should be addressed first.
The best way to determine candidacy is through a professional inspection. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend whether coating, repair, or replacement makes the most economic sense for your property.
