Your AC isn’t fighting a losing battle anymore. When we apply professional roof coatings to your Dayton property, you’re looking at indoor temperatures that drop 10-15 degrees without touching your thermostat.
That translates to real money back in your pocket—most homeowners see 15-30% reductions in cooling costs. Your HVAC system isn’t straining against a roof that’s absorbing every bit of Texas heat, so it runs more efficiently and lasts longer.
You get the comfort you want without the sticker shock when your energy bill arrives. It’s protection and savings working together, designed specifically for the way Texas weather hits your roof.
At Southern Roofing Solutions, we know what Dayton roofs face every day. We’ve been protecting properties throughout Southeast Texas, and we understand how the combination of intense UV rays, sudden storms, and temperature swings can damage your investment.
We’re not just another roofing company. We’re your neighbors who’ve seen what works and what doesn’t when it comes to roof protection in this climate.
Our team uses proven coating systems—silicone, acrylic, and polyurethane—that are specifically chosen for their ability to handle the Gulf Coast conditions that Dayton experiences year-round.
We start with a thorough inspection of your roof’s current condition. Any repairs needed get handled first—coatings work best when applied to a solid foundation.
Next comes the cleaning phase. We remove debris, dirt, and any loose materials so the coating adheres properly. This step makes the difference between a coating that lasts years versus one that fails early.
The application itself uses professional-grade equipment to ensure even coverage. Whether it’s silicone for superior weather resistance, acrylic for UV protection, or polyurethane for high-traffic areas, we match the right coating to your specific roof type and needs. Most applications complete in 1-2 days with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

Our roof coating services work on asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and flat roof systems. Each coating type is selected based on your roof’s material, slope, and the specific challenges your property faces.
In Dayton’s climate, we typically recommend reflective coatings that handle the intense summer heat while providing waterproof protection during storm season. These systems seal minor cracks and gaps, preventing small problems from becoming expensive repairs.
You’re not just getting a coating—you’re getting a complete roof protection system. We include proper surface preparation, primer application when needed, and multiple coating layers for maximum durability. The result is a seamless barrier that reflects heat, repels water, and extends your roof’s lifespan by years, not months.
Quality roof coatings typically last 10-20 years in Texas conditions when properly applied. Silicone coatings tend to perform best in our climate because they maintain their flexibility and reflective properties even under constant UV exposure.
The key is proper surface preparation and using coatings specifically rated for high-temperature environments. We’ve seen coatings fail within 2-3 years when corners are cut during installation, but professionally applied systems routinely exceed their warranty periods.
Regular inspections every few years help identify any areas that might need touch-ups, but most homeowners find their coatings perform well throughout their expected lifespan without major maintenance.
Yes, roof coatings can be applied over most existing roofing materials, including asphalt shingles, metal, and single-ply membranes. However, the existing roof must be in structurally sound condition first.
We inspect for loose or damaged shingles, clean the surface thoroughly, and make any necessary repairs before coating application. Some roof types may require a primer to ensure proper adhesion, especially on smooth metal surfaces.
The coating creates a seamless membrane over your existing roof, essentially giving you a new protective layer without the cost and disruption of a complete tear-off and replacement. This approach works particularly well for roofs that are aging but still structurally intact.
Most Dayton homeowners see 15-30% reductions in cooling costs after professional roof coating application. The exact savings depend on your current roof color, insulation levels, and how much direct sun exposure your roof receives.
Light-colored reflective coatings can reduce roof surface temperatures by up to 50 degrees compared to dark, uncoated surfaces. This means your air conditioning system doesn’t work as hard to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.
Over a typical Texas summer, this translates to $200-500 in energy savings for an average-sized home. The coating essentially pays for itself through reduced utility bills while providing years of additional roof protection.
Acrylic coatings are water-based, cost-effective, and excellent for UV protection. They work well in dry climates and offer good reflectivity, but they’re not ideal for areas with standing water or high moisture.
Silicone coatings cost more upfront but handle ponding water better and maintain their properties longer under extreme weather conditions. They’re more flexible, which helps them resist cracking as your roof expands and contracts with temperature changes.
For Dayton’s climate, we often recommend silicone coatings because they handle both the intense heat and occasional heavy rains that characterize our weather patterns. The extra durability usually justifies the higher initial cost through longer service life.
This depends on your current roof warranty terms and the type of coating applied. Some manufacturers actually approve specific coating systems and may even extend warranties when their approved products are used.
We always review your existing warranty before recommending a coating system. In many cases, we can work with coating manufacturers who offer their own warranties that replace or supplement your original roof coverage.
The key is using compatible products and following proper application procedures. When done correctly, roof coatings often provide better protection than your original roof warranty covered, especially against UV damage and minor leaks that standard warranties typically exclude.
Roof coatings can seal minor leaks and prevent new ones from developing, but they’re not a substitute for proper roof repairs. We always address structural issues, damaged decking, or significant membrane problems before applying any coating.
For small cracks, minor membrane splits, or fastener penetrations, quality coatings create an effective seal. However, if you have active leaks or major damage, those areas need proper repair first to ensure the coating adheres correctly and performs as expected.
Think of coatings as excellent preventive maintenance and minor leak repair, but not as a band-aid for serious roofing problems. We’ll be honest about what coatings can and can’t fix during our initial inspection.
