You’re looking at a roof that’s showing its age. Maybe you’re seeing some wear, dealing with small leaks, or just dreading the massive expense of a full replacement. Here’s what most contractors won’t tell you: replacement isn’t always your only option.
A quality roof coating system can restore your existing roof for a fraction of replacement cost. We’re talking about adding 10-20 years to your roof’s life while creating a seamless, waterproof barrier that actually performs better than what you had before.
The best part? Your roof stays 80+ degrees cooler on brutal Texas days, your energy bills drop by 15-25%, and you avoid the mess and disruption of tearing everything off and starting over. This isn’t a band-aid fix – it’s a legitimate restoration that comes with real warranties and measurable results.
At Southern Roofing Solutions, we understand what Texas weather does to roofs. We’ve seen how 100-degree summers, sudden storms, and that relentless UV exposure can age a roof 40% faster than anywhere else in the country.
That’s exactly why we specialize in roof coatings for Devers properties. While other contractors are quick to sell you a complete replacement, we know that many Texas roofs just need the right protection to keep performing for years to come. We’ve helped countless property owners avoid premature replacement costs while improving their roof’s performance.
We’re not the cheapest option in Devers, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in proven coating systems, proper application techniques, and the kind of local expertise that comes from understanding exactly what your roof faces every day in this climate.
First, we thoroughly inspect your roof to identify any issues that need addressing before coating. This isn’t just a quick look – we’re checking for structural problems, moisture issues, and areas that need repair work. Many coating failures happen because contractors skip this crucial step.
Next comes the prep work. We clean the surface, make necessary repairs, and ensure everything is ready for optimal coating adhesion. This step matters more than most people realize because proper prep work determines whether your coating lasts 5 years or 20 years.
Then we apply the coating system using professional-grade equipment designed for Texas conditions. Depending on your roof type and needs, this might be silicone for superior UV resistance, acrylic for cost-effectiveness, or specialized metal roof coatings. The application creates a seamless, monolithic membrane that moves with your roof and provides superior protection.
The whole process typically takes 1-3 days depending on roof size and complexity. You’ll have minimal disruption to your daily operations, and when we’re done, you’ll have a roof that’s better protected than it’s ever been.

Texas roofs face challenges that roofs in other states simply don’t encounter. Surface temperatures can hit 175 degrees on uncoated metal roofs during Devers summers. That kind of heat doesn’t just make your building uncomfortable – it literally breaks down roofing materials faster and costs you money in energy bills.
Our roof coating systems are specifically chosen for Texas conditions. They reflect solar heat instead of absorbing it, keeping your roof surface 80+ degrees cooler on those brutal summer days. This isn’t just about comfort – it’s about preventing the thermal stress that causes premature roof failure and reducing your cooling costs by up to 25%.
For metal roofs, our coatings provide crucial rust prevention while sealing around fasteners and seams where leaks typically start. For flat roofs and other systems, we create a waterproof barrier that handles everything from sudden downpours to the gradual moisture intrusion that causes long-term damage.
The result is a roof system that actually performs better in Devers’ climate than what you originally had, with energy savings that often pay for the coating investment within 3-5 years through reduced utility bills alone.
Roof coatings typically cost 50-60% less than complete roof replacement. For a typical commercial building in Devers, you might spend $15,000-25,000 on a quality coating system versus $40,000-80,000 for replacement. For residential properties, the savings are equally dramatic.
But the savings go beyond just the initial cost. You avoid disposal fees for old materials, potential structural modifications, and the business disruption that comes with major construction. Plus, many coating systems qualify as maintenance expenses, making them 100% tax deductible in the year applied rather than depreciated over time.
The energy savings add up quickly too. A properly applied reflective coating can reduce your cooling costs by 15-25% during Texas summers. For many Devers properties, this means the coating pays for itself within 3-5 years through reduced energy bills alone, then continues saving money for the life of the coating.
Quality roof coatings are specifically engineered to handle Texas heat and typically last 15-20 years when properly applied by experienced contractors. The key is using coating systems that are formulated for high-temperature, high-UV environments like we have in Devers.
Silicone coatings excel in Texas because they don’t break down under UV exposure like some other materials. They maintain their flexibility and waterproofing properties even after years of 100+ degree temperatures and intense sun exposure. Acrylic coatings offer excellent durability at a lower cost, while specialized metal coatings provide superior adhesion and rust prevention.
What makes coatings even more practical long-term is that they can be recoated when they eventually show wear. Unlike a roof replacement that requires complete tear-off, you can refresh the coating system with minimal prep work, essentially resetting the warranty and extending protection indefinitely.
Yes, but proper application over a correctly prepared surface is crucial. Roof coatings create a seamless, monolithic membrane that seals over existing problem areas like seams, fasteners, and small cracks where leaks typically develop. This seamless application eliminates the weak points that cause most roof leaks.
However, any significant structural issues or major damage need to be addressed first. We inspect thoroughly before coating to identify problems that require repair work. Trying to coat over major damage without proper prep is like putting a bandage on a broken bone – it won’t work and wastes your investment.
When we apply coatings correctly over a properly prepared surface, they provide superior waterproofing compared to traditional roofing systems. The liquid application flows into and seals areas that would be difficult or impossible to address with conventional repair methods, creating long-lasting protection against Texas weather.
Most roof types can be successfully coated, but the coating system must match your specific roof material and conditions. Metal roofs, modified bitumen, EPDM, TPO, built-up roofs, and even some shingle applications all have coating options designed for their specific requirements and challenges.
The key is proper surface preparation and using the right coating chemistry for your situation. For example, metal roofs need coatings that handle thermal movement and prevent rust, while flat roofs need systems that resist ponding water and provide excellent adhesion. Using the wrong coating type or skipping proper prep work leads to early failure and wasted money.
That’s why we always start with a thorough inspection and surface evaluation. We need to understand your roof’s current condition, material type, age, and specific challenges before recommending the best coating system for long-term performance. Not every roof is a good candidate for coating, and we’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Energy savings start immediately after application. Reflective roof coatings can reduce your roof surface temperature by 80+ degrees on hot Devers days, which translates to immediate cooling load reduction for your HVAC system. You’ll notice the difference in comfort and energy bills right away.
Most customers see 15-25% reduction in cooling costs during the first summer after coating application. For a typical commercial building in Texas, this can mean $200-500+ monthly savings during peak summer months. Residential properties often save $50-150+ monthly during cooling season, depending on building size and insulation levels.
The savings are most dramatic on metal roofs and dark-colored surfaces that absorb the most heat. Buildings with inadequate insulation see even greater benefits because the coating reduces the heat load that would otherwise transfer into the building interior. Over the 15-20 year life of the coating, these energy savings often exceed the initial coating cost.
Roof coatings require minimal maintenance compared to traditional roofing systems, which is one of their major advantages. Annual inspections are recommended to check for debris accumulation, drainage issues, or any areas that might need attention, but most coated roofs require very little intervention.
The main maintenance involves keeping drains and gutters clear and removing debris that could cause ponding water or damage. Unlike traditional roofs where you’re constantly dealing with loose fasteners, cracked seams, or damaged materials, coated roofs have fewer failure points and components that can break down.
Most quality coating systems come with 10-20 year warranties, and many can be easily recoated when they eventually show wear. This means you can maintain superior roof protection indefinitely without the major expense and disruption of replacement. Regular maintenance extends coating life and helps you get maximum value from your investment.
