Your roof becomes a shield instead of a liability. Surface temperatures drop by up to 60°F, which means your air conditioner doesn’t fight a losing battle against Louisiana heat anymore. Your energy bills shrink noticeably during those brutal summer months.
The coating creates a seamless waterproof barrier that stops leaks before they start. No more worrying about storm damage or that nagging drip that turns into expensive interior repairs. Your roof gets 10 to 15 additional years of reliable protection.
You avoid the sticker shock of a full roof replacement—which averages nearly $8,000 in Lake Charles—while getting performance that actually improves your home’s efficiency. It’s protection that pays for itself.
We understand what Lake Charles roofs face every day. The humidity that breeds mold and algae. The summer heat that makes your HVAC system work overtime. The sudden storms that test every weak spot in your roofing system.
We’ve been protecting homes and businesses in Southwest Louisiana, where extreme weather isn’t occasional—it’s expected. Our team knows which coatings handle ponding water on flat roofs and which ones reflect the most heat during those 90-degree summers.
When you work with us, you’re getting contractors who live here and understand that your roof isn’t just overhead protection—it’s your defense against everything Louisiana weather throws at you.
First, we inspect your roof thoroughly to determine if coating is the right solution. Not every roof qualifies, and we won’t recommend coating if replacement makes more sense for your situation.
Next, we clean and prepare the surface. Any minor repairs get handled before coating application begins. This prep work determines how well the coating adheres and performs long-term.
Then we apply the coating system using professional-grade equipment. The application creates a seamless membrane that bonds permanently to your existing roof. We ensure proper thickness and coverage because uneven application leads to premature failure.
Finally, we inspect the completed work and provide you with maintenance guidelines. With proper care, your coating will protect your roof for 10 to 20 years, depending on the type we install.

You get a complete roof evaluation that determines the best coating type for your specific situation. Elastomeric coatings for roofs that need flexibility with temperature changes. Silicone coatings for superior waterproofing when you have drainage challenges or ponding water issues.
In Lake Charles, we often recommend silicone systems because they handle our frequent rainstorms and high humidity better than other options. These coatings resist mold and algae growth—critical in our climate where moisture control isn’t optional.
Your service includes surface preparation, minor repairs as needed, professional application with proper thickness, and a warranty that backs our work. We use Energy Star certified materials when appropriate to maximize your energy savings and potential tax benefits.
The coating we install reflects heat instead of absorbing it, which means your roof surface stays significantly cooler. That translates directly to lower utility bills and less strain on your HVAC system during Lake Charles summers.
Reflective roof coatings can reduce your roof surface temperature by up to 60°F, which directly translates to lower cooling costs. In Louisiana’s climate where air conditioning runs constantly during summer months, homeowners typically see noticeable reductions in their utility bills.
Energy Star certified cool roofing systems can reduce building interior cooling costs by 20% on average, even during peak usage periods. For a typical Lake Charles household where summer electricity bills spike due to air conditioning demands, this often means hundreds of dollars in annual savings.
The exact amount depends on your roof size, home insulation, and current energy usage, but the cooling effect is immediate and measurable. Your HVAC system simply doesn’t have to work as hard when your roof reflects heat instead of absorbing it.
Most roof types can be successfully coated, but the coating type matters significantly in Louisiana’s humid environment. Flat roofs, low-slope systems, metal roofs, and many single-ply membranes are excellent candidates for coating applications.
Silicone coatings work particularly well on flat roofs where ponding water is a concern, while elastomeric coatings are ideal for roofs that experience temperature fluctuations. Both types resist the mold and algae growth that Louisiana’s humidity encourages.
However, not every roof qualifies for coating. Roofs with significant structural damage, extensive granule loss, or multiple layers of existing coatings may need replacement instead. We evaluate each roof individually to determine if coating will provide the long-term protection you need.
Professional-grade roof coatings typically last 10 to 20 years in Louisiana’s climate when properly applied and maintained. Silicone coatings tend to perform exceptionally well in our humid environment and frequent rain conditions.
The longevity depends on several factors: the coating type selected, surface preparation quality, application thickness, and ongoing maintenance. Coatings that receive periodic inspections and minor touch-ups as needed can reach or exceed their expected lifespan.
Louisiana’s intense UV exposure and temperature swings can affect coating performance, but quality systems are specifically designed to handle these conditions. Regular maintenance—typically just annual inspections and occasional cleaning—helps ensure you get the full protective life from your coating investment.
Roof coating costs significantly less than full replacement while providing substantial protection and energy savings. The average roof replacement in Lake Charles runs nearly $8,000, while professional coating typically costs a fraction of that amount.
When you factor in the energy savings from reduced cooling costs, the math becomes even more compelling. Coatings can extend your existing roof’s life by 10 to 15 years, which means you’re postponing a major expense while improving your home’s performance.
However, coating only makes financial sense if your roof is structurally sound. If you’re facing extensive repairs or multiple system failures, replacement might be the more economical long-term choice. We evaluate each situation honestly to recommend the most cost-effective solution.
Quality roof coatings are specifically designed to withstand severe weather, including the high winds and heavy rains common in Southwest Louisiana. Silicone and elastomeric coatings create flexible, waterproof membranes that move with your roof during weather events.
The seamless application eliminates vulnerable seams and joints where wind-driven rain typically penetrates. This makes coated roofs more resistant to storm damage than many traditional roofing systems with multiple penetration points.
While no roofing system is hurricane-proof, properly applied coatings provide excellent storm resistance and faster recovery. The waterproof barrier helps prevent interior damage even if minor surface damage occurs, and repairs are typically simpler and less expensive than with conventional roofing systems.
Roof coating maintenance in Louisiana primarily involves annual inspections and periodic cleaning to remove debris and organic growth. The humid climate can encourage algae and mold on any surface, but quality coatings resist this growth better than untreated roofing materials.
Most maintenance involves checking for any areas where debris has accumulated or where minor damage might have occurred during storms. Small issues caught early can usually be addressed with simple touch-up applications rather than major repairs.
Professional inspection every few years helps identify any areas that need attention before they become larger problems. With proper maintenance, your coating will provide reliable protection throughout its expected lifespan while maintaining its energy-saving reflective properties.
