You’re tired of watching your energy bills climb every summer while your roof bakes in the Texas heat. You know replacement costs are through the roof, but you need a real solution.
Here’s what happens when we apply professional roof coatings to your property. Your roof temperature drops by up to 50 degrees. Your air conditioning doesn’t work overtime anymore. Your energy bills shrink by 15% or more, especially during those brutal July and August months when everyone else is sweating over their utility statements.
The coating creates a seamless, waterproof barrier that protects your existing roof for up to 25 years. No more emergency leak calls. No more wondering if this is the year you’ll need to shell out for a complete replacement.
We at Southern Roofing Solutions understand what Plum Grove roofs go through. The intense UV exposure, the dramatic temperature swings from scorching summers to harsh winter storms, the heavy rainfall that tests every seal and seam.
We’ve seen how these conditions break down roofs faster than in most parts of the country. That’s why we don’t just apply coatings—we select and apply coating systems specifically engineered for local conditions. Systems that perform reliably year after year, even when the weather doesn’t cooperate.
Our team has helped property owners throughout Southeast Texas protect their investments with coating solutions that make sense. Real solutions that save real money.
We start with a thorough roof inspection to assess your current system and identify any issues that need attention before coating application. This isn’t a quick glance—we check for structural problems, existing damage, and determine the best coating type for your specific roof material and goals.
Next comes surface preparation. We clean your roof thoroughly using pressure washing to remove dirt, debris, and any existing coatings that might prevent proper adhesion. This step is critical because the coating needs a clean, sound surface to create that seamless protective barrier.
The coating application uses state-of-the-art equipment to apply multiple layers, creating a monolithic membrane that seals and protects your entire roof system. We apply the coating systematically to ensure complete coverage and proper thickness throughout.
Finally, we conduct a comprehensive quality inspection to verify the coating meets our standards and your expectations. You get documentation of the work completed and warranty information for your records.

Your roof coating service includes a complete assessment of your current roofing system, professional surface preparation, and application of premium coating materials designed for Texas climate conditions. We work with elastomeric, silicone, and acrylic coating systems depending on your roof type and performance goals.
For metal roofs common in Plum Grove, we apply specialized coatings that bond directly to the metal surface, providing superior protection against corrosion and thermal expansion. These coatings reflect heat away from your building while creating a waterproof seal that handles the area’s dramatic weather patterns.
Flat and low-slope roofs receive liquid-applied membrane systems that cure into a seamless, fully-adhered protective layer. These systems are particularly effective for the ponding water and UV exposure that challenges many commercial and residential flat roofs in our area.
Each coating application comes with detailed documentation, maintenance recommendations, and warranty coverage that protects your investment for years to come.
Roof coatings typically cost 50-60% less than complete roof replacement. For a typical Plum Grove home, that means savings of $15,000-25,000 or more compared to tearing off and replacing your entire roof system.
The savings continue after installation through reduced energy costs. Most property owners see energy bill reductions of 15-25% during peak cooling months, which in Texas means significant savings from May through September. Over the coating’s 15-20 year lifespan, these energy savings often equal or exceed the initial coating investment.
You also avoid the indirect costs of replacement: disposal fees, potential structural repairs discovered during tearoff, and business disruption if you’re coating a commercial property.
Most existing roof materials can be successfully coated, including metal, asphalt shingles, modified bitumen, EPDM, and built-up roofing systems. The key is matching the right coating chemistry to your specific roof material and condition.
Metal roofs respond particularly well to coating systems, with specialized formulations that bond directly to the metal surface and provide superior corrosion protection. Flat roofs with membrane systems can often be restored with liquid-applied coatings that create a new protective layer over the existing material.
However, roofs with extensive damage, multiple layers, or structural issues may not be good candidates for coating. That’s why we always start with a thorough inspection to determine if your roof is suitable for coating or if other repairs are needed first.
Quality roof coatings properly applied in Texas conditions typically last 15-20 years, with many systems carrying warranties in that range. The key is using coatings specifically formulated for high UV exposure and thermal cycling that characterizes our climate.
Silicone coatings tend to perform exceptionally well in Texas because they maintain flexibility through temperature extremes and resist UV degradation. Acrylic systems with high solids content also provide excellent longevity when properly maintained.
The coating’s lifespan depends partly on maintenance. Simple cleaning to remove debris and occasional inspections help maximize performance. Many coating systems can also be recoated when they near the end of their service life, extending protection for additional decades without complete roof replacement.
Roof coatings restore and protect your existing roof structure, while replacement involves tearing off all existing materials and installing a completely new roof system. Coatings work by creating a new protective membrane over your current roof, addressing most performance issues at a fraction of replacement cost.
Replacement is necessary when the roof structure is compromised, when there are multiple layers of existing materials, or when the deck itself needs repair. But many roofs that property owners think need replacement can actually be restored with professional coating systems.
Coatings also offer faster installation with minimal disruption to your daily operations. Most coating projects complete in 1-3 days versus 1-2 weeks for replacement. There’s no tearoff debris, no risk of weather exposure during installation, and no need to relocate during the work.
Professional roof coating systems are specifically engineered to handle Texas weather extremes, including the heavy rainfall, high winds, and dramatic temperature swings common in our area. The coating creates a monolithic, seamless membrane that eliminates the weak points where leaks typically develop.
Modern coating formulations maintain flexibility through freeze-thaw cycles while providing superior adhesion that resists wind uplift. Many systems meet or exceed local building code requirements for wind resistance and impact protection.
The reflective properties of most coatings also help manage thermal stress by keeping roof temperatures significantly lower than traditional dark-colored roofing materials. This reduces the expansion and contraction cycles that cause many roof failures over time, particularly important in our climate where roof temperatures can exceed 160°F on summer afternoons.
The ideal time for roof coating application in Plum Grove is during mild, dry weather with temperatures between 50-85°F and low humidity. This typically means late fall, winter, or early spring when we have more predictable weather patterns.
Avoid coating during the peak summer months when extreme heat can affect application and curing, or during periods of high humidity and frequent afternoon thunderstorms. The coating needs adequate time to cure properly before exposure to moisture.
However, emergency coating applications can be done year-round when necessary to address immediate leak issues or prevent further damage. We monitor weather conditions closely and adjust our application techniques to ensure proper curing regardless of timing. Planning ahead for coating during optimal weather conditions always produces the best long-term results.
