Your roof doesn’t have to bake like a cast-iron skillet in Texas heat. Our professional roof coatings reflect up to 90% of UV rays, keeping your roof surface 50 degrees cooler than traditional materials.
That temperature difference translates to real savings. Property owners across Texas report 10-30% reductions in cooling costs during peak summer months. Your HVAC system runs less, lasts longer, and your indoor spaces stay comfortable even when it’s 105°F outside.
Beyond energy savings, you’re looking at 10-20 years of extended roof life. Our coating forms a seamless, waterproof barrier that prevents leaks, resists hail damage, and stops the constant expansion and contraction that destroys roofing materials in our climate.
We’ve been protecting Ivanhoe properties with professional roof coating applications that actually work. We’re the company that leaves your property cleaner than we found it, with a reputation built on honest work and results you can measure on your energy bills.
We understand Texas weather because we work in it every day. From the scorching summers that turn roofs into ovens to the sudden hailstorms that can destroy years of investment in minutes, we’ve seen what works and what fails in East Texas conditions.
Our approach is straightforward: professional application, quality materials, and the kind of cleanup that has customers telling their neighbors we’re the cleanest roofing crew they’ve ever worked with.
First, we inspect your roof to ensure it’s a good candidate for coating. Not every roof qualifies, and we’ll tell you honestly if coating makes sense or if you need a different solution. We check for trapped moisture, structural integrity, and existing damage that needs addressing first.
Next comes preparation. We power wash the surface to remove dirt, debris, and any loose materials. For metal roofs, we treat rust spots. We reset fasteners, seal seams, and patch any problem areas. Proper prep work is what separates a coating that lasts 15 years from one that fails in three.
Finally, we apply the coating system using professional equipment to achieve the manufacturer’s specified thickness. We use rollers and airless sprayers, with fabric reinforcement at critical transitions. The result is a seamless, monolithic membrane that protects your roof and cuts your cooling costs starting day one.

Silicone coatings excel on flat roofs where ponding water is an issue. They’re extremely durable, handle Texas temperature swings without cracking, and maintain flexibility even in our brutal summer heat. Perfect for commercial buildings and homes with low-slope sections.
Acrylic coatings work well on metal roofs and sloped surfaces. They offer excellent UV protection and reflectivity at a more economical price point. These are ideal for residential applications where budget matters but performance can’t be compromised.
Polyurethane coatings provide the ultimate protection against hail damage. In Ivanhoe, where spring storms can drop golf-ball-sized hail, this extra impact resistance protects your investment. They’re more expensive upfront but can save thousands in storm damage repairs.
Property owners across Texas typically see 10-30% reductions in cooling costs after professional roof coating application. The exact savings depend on your roof type, building size, and current energy efficiency.
Here’s why it works: traditional roofs can reach 150°F in Texas summer heat, while properly applied reflective coatings stay 50°F cooler under identical conditions. That temperature difference means your air conditioning system doesn’t work as hard to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.
Austin Energy data shows that reflective coatings can reduce peak summer cooling demand by up to 20%. For a typical commercial building, that translates to hundreds or thousands of dollars in annual savings. The coating investment often pays for itself within 2-4 cooling seasons.
Quality roof coatings properly applied in Texas typically last 10-20 years, with many systems outlasting their warranty periods. The lifespan depends on the coating type, application quality, and maintenance.
Silicone coatings tend to last longest in our climate, often 15-20 years, because they handle ponding water and temperature extremes without degrading. Acrylic systems typically provide 10-15 years of protection, while polyurethane coatings offer 12-18 years with superior hail resistance.
The key is professional application and periodic maintenance. We recommend annual inspections to catch minor issues before they become major problems. With proper care, your coating will protect your roof and save energy costs for decades.
Yes, when properly applied, roof coatings create a seamless, waterproof membrane that eliminates the seams and fastener penetrations where most leaks occur. This is particularly important in Texas, where sudden downpours can overwhelm traditional roofing systems.
The coating forms a monolithic barrier that flexes with your roof’s movement during temperature changes. Unlike traditional roofing materials that can crack or separate at joints, a quality coating moves as one continuous piece, maintaining its seal even during our dramatic temperature swings.
For storm protection, coatings provide an extra layer of defense against hail impact and wind-driven rain. While they can’t prevent damage from softball-sized hail, they significantly reduce damage from smaller stones and help your roof shed water more effectively during heavy storms.
For roofs in good structural condition, coating typically costs 40-60% less than full replacement while delivering many of the same benefits. This makes coating an attractive option for property owners looking to extend roof life without the expense and disruption of tear-off and replacement.
The math is compelling: a quality coating system might cost $3-7 per square foot installed, while roof replacement often runs $8-15 per square foot or more. You get immediate energy savings, leak protection, and 10-20 years of extended roof life at a fraction of replacement cost.
However, coating isn’t right for every roof. Roofs with structural damage, extensive leaks, or saturated insulation need replacement first. We’ll honestly assess your roof’s condition and recommend coating only when it makes financial sense for your situation.
Most commercial and residential roof types can be successfully coated, including metal roofs, built-up roofs, modified bitumen, single-ply membranes like TPO and EPDM, and even some tile applications. Each roof type requires specific surface preparation and coating selection.
Metal roofs are excellent candidates because coatings bond well to properly prepared metal surfaces and provide superior energy efficiency. We treat any rust spots, ensure proper adhesion, and apply coatings that complement the metal’s thermal properties.
Flat and low-slope roofs benefit tremendously from coating applications, especially in Texas where ponding water and UV exposure are constant challenges. The seamless membrane eliminates the seams and fasteners that typically fail first on these roof systems.
Professional roof coating application is significantly less disruptive than roof replacement. Most residential projects are completed in 1-2 days, while larger commercial applications might take 3-5 days depending on size and complexity.
There’s no tear-off, no dumpsters, and minimal noise compared to traditional roofing work. We access the roof from outside, so your daily operations continue normally. The biggest consideration is weather – we need dry conditions for proper application and curing.
We coordinate timing to minimize any impact on your schedule. For commercial properties, we can often work around business hours or during slower periods. The end result is a protected, energy-efficient roof with minimal disruption to your routine.
