Your roof takes a beating in Vidor’s intense Texas heat. While traditional roofs can reach 150 degrees in summer, forcing your AC to work overtime, professional roof coatings keep surfaces 50+ degrees cooler.
That’s not just comfort—it’s real money back in your pocket. Most property owners see energy savings of 20-25% immediately after coating application. For the average Vidor home, that translates to hundreds of dollars in annual cooling cost savings.
The best part? You get these benefits without the massive expense and disruption of roof replacement. Our coating systems create a seamless, waterproof barrier that protects against UV damage, weather, and thermal expansion while reflecting heat away from your building.
We’ve been serving Vidor and Southeast Texas with honest, professional roofing services. We’re not the biggest company in town, but we’re the one that shows up when we say we will and leaves your property cleaner than we found it.
Our owner Ray Martinez personally handles every estimate and stays involved throughout your project. We’ve built our reputation on doing what we promise—no surprises, no shortcuts, no excuses.
When you’re dealing with Texas heat and unpredictable weather, you need a roofing contractor who understands what works in this climate. We’ve seen what happens when coatings are applied incorrectly or when the wrong materials are used. That’s why we only use proven coating systems designed specifically for Southeast Texas conditions.
We start with a thorough roof inspection to assess your current conditions and determine if your roof is a good candidate for coating. Not every roof qualifies—we’ll tell you honestly if coating makes sense or if you need a different solution.
Next comes proper surface preparation. This step is crucial and often where other contractors cut corners. We power wash and clean your roof thoroughly, removing dirt, debris, and any loose materials that could affect adhesion.
The coating application itself typically takes 1-2 days depending on your roof size and weather conditions. We apply the coating in the right thickness and ensure complete coverage. Our team monitors weather forecasts carefully—moisture during application can ruin the entire job.
After completion, we conduct a final inspection and provide you with maintenance guidelines to maximize your coating’s lifespan. Most quality coatings last 10-20 years with minimal upkeep, giving you decades of protection and energy savings.

Roof coatings deliver multiple benefits that make sense for Southeast Texas property owners. Beyond the immediate energy savings, you’re extending your roof’s life by years and avoiding the disruption and expense of premature replacement.
In Vidor’s climate, where summer storms and intense UV exposure accelerate roof aging, coatings provide crucial protection. They seal minor cracks and imperfections before they become major leak sources. The reflective properties reduce thermal expansion and contraction that causes fasteners to loosen and seams to separate.
For metal roofs especially common in our area, coatings prevent the oxidation and corrosion that shortens roof life. They also eliminate the thermal cycling that causes metal roofs to expand and contract dramatically between day and night temperatures.
Local utility companies recognize these benefits too. Some areas offer rebates for reflective roof coatings because they reduce peak energy demand. While rebate availability varies, the energy savings alone typically pay for the coating within 2-3 years.
Most Vidor property owners see cooling cost reductions of 20-25% after professional roof coating application. The exact savings depend on your roof size, current condition, and building insulation, but we typically see annual savings of $300-800 for average residential properties.
The science is straightforward: traditional roofs absorb heat and can reach 150+ degrees in Texas summer sun. Quality reflective coatings keep roof surfaces 50+ degrees cooler by reflecting solar energy instead of absorbing it. Your AC doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.
These aren’t theoretical numbers—they’re based on actual utility bill comparisons from our customers. The energy savings alone usually pay for the coating within 2-3 years, then it’s pure profit for the remaining 15+ year coating life.
Yes, most roof coatings can be applied directly over existing asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and other common materials, but the roof must be in structurally sound condition first. This is one of the biggest advantages of coating versus replacement—no tear-off required.
We inspect every roof carefully before recommending coating. If your roof has significant structural damage, widespread leaks, or severely deteriorated materials, coating won’t solve those problems. But if the underlying structure is solid with only minor wear or aging, coating can restore and protect it for decades.
Different roof materials may require specific coating formulations. For example, metal roofs in our humid Southeast Texas climate often perform best with silicone-based coatings that handle standing water and temperature extremes. We select the right coating system based on your specific roof type and local conditions.
Quality roof coatings properly applied typically last 10-20 years in Southeast Texas, with some premium systems lasting even longer with proper maintenance. The key factors are coating quality, proper application, and periodic maintenance.
Our climate is tough on roofing materials—intense UV exposure, thermal cycling, humidity, and severe weather events. That’s why we only use coating systems specifically designed for Gulf Coast conditions. Cheaper coatings might save money upfront but often fail within 5-7 years.
Regular maintenance extends coating life significantly. This includes annual inspections, keeping drains clear, and addressing minor issues before they become major problems. We provide maintenance guidelines and can set up annual inspection programs to help you get maximum life from your coating investment.
Professional roof coatings typically cost 60-80% less than complete roof replacement while delivering many of the same benefits. For an average Vidor home, coating might cost $3,000-6,000 versus $15,000-25,000 for full replacement.
The time difference is dramatic too. Most coating projects take 1-3 days versus 1-2 weeks for replacement. There’s no tear-off, no dumpster in your driveway, and minimal disruption to your daily routine. You’re also avoiding the waste disposal costs and environmental impact of sending old roofing materials to landfills.
Coating makes the most financial sense when your roof structure is sound but showing signs of aging or minor weather damage. If you’re facing major structural issues or widespread leaks, replacement might be necessary. We’ll give you an honest assessment of which approach makes more sense for your specific situation.
Absolutely, but only when the right coating system is selected and properly applied for Southeast Texas conditions. Our climate demands coatings that can handle temperature extremes, high humidity, UV exposure, and severe weather events.
Silicone-based coatings often perform best in our area because they maintain flexibility through temperature cycling and resist standing water that’s common on flat or low-slope roofs. Acrylic coatings work well on steep-slope applications where water drainage is better.
The key is understanding that not all coatings are created equal. Bargain coatings or improper application often fail within a few years, giving the entire industry a bad reputation. We’ve seen the difference between professional-grade systems and cheap alternatives—it’s dramatic both in performance and longevity.
The best way to determine coating suitability is through professional roof inspection, but there are some general guidelines. Good candidates typically have structurally sound roofs with minor aging, weathering, or energy efficiency concerns rather than major damage or widespread leaks.
Age matters, but condition matters more. A well-maintained 15-year-old roof might be perfect for coating, while a neglected 8-year-old roof might need replacement. We look at factors like structural integrity, current leak issues, remaining material life, and cost-effectiveness compared to replacement.
During our inspection, we’ll check for adequate drainage, substrate condition, and any underlying issues that coating won’t solve. If your roof isn’t a good coating candidate, we’ll tell you honestly and explain your alternatives. Our goal is recommending the solution that makes the most sense for your specific situation and budget.
