Here’s what changes when you get a proper roof coating. Your energy bills drop because your roof isn’t absorbing heat like a sponge anymore. Your HVAC system gets a break from working overtime in Louisiana’s brutal summers.
You’re looking at real money back in your pocket. Most homeowners see their cooling costs drop by 20% on average. That’s not marketing fluff—that’s Energy Star certified performance that keeps paying you back year after year.
Your roof also gets serious protection against the weather that beats down on Starks properties. Rain, humidity, UV rays—all handled by a seamless barrier that actually works.
We understand what roofs face in Starks, LA. The heat that makes your attic feel like an oven. The humidity that never seems to quit. The storms that roll through without warning.
We’ve been protecting Louisiana homes with professional roof coatings that actually perform in this climate. Our team knows which coatings hold up to the Gulf Coast weather and which ones don’t make it past the first summer.
When we coat your roof, you’re getting more than just a service—you’re getting local expertise that comes from years of working in conditions just like yours.
First, we inspect your roof to make sure it’s a good candidate for coating. Not every roof qualifies, and we’ll tell you straight if yours doesn’t. If it does, we clean the surface and handle any prep work needed for proper adhesion.
Next comes the application. We use professional-grade elastomeric coatings that expand and contract with Louisiana’s temperature swings. This isn’t a brush-and-pray job—it’s a systematic application that creates a seamless, waterproof membrane.
The coating cures to form a protective barrier that reflects heat, seals against water, and stands up to UV damage. Most jobs are completed in one to two days, depending on your roof size and weather conditions.

Our roof coating service includes more than just material and application. You get a system designed specifically for the challenges that Starks properties face every day.
The coatings we use reflect up to 90% of UV rays—crucial when summer temperatures regularly hit the 90s and your roof surface can reach 150 degrees or more. This reflection translates directly into lower attic temperatures and reduced strain on your air conditioning system.
For Starks homeowners dealing with frequent afternoon thunderstorms and high humidity, the waterproofing aspect is just as important. The coating creates a permanent barrier against water intrusion, protecting your investment from the moisture that causes so many roofing problems in our area.
Energy Star certified roof coatings typically reduce cooling costs by 20% on average, even during peak summer usage. In Louisiana’s climate where air conditioning runs constantly from May through October, this translates to real savings.
The savings come from reflection—your roof stops absorbing heat and starts bouncing it back. Instead of your attic reaching 140+ degrees and making your HVAC work overtime, you maintain more reasonable temperatures that don’t strain your cooling system.
Most Starks homeowners see the coating pay for itself within 3-5 years through reduced energy costs alone. After that, it’s pure savings for the remaining 10-15 years of the coating’s lifespan.
Roof coatings work on most existing roof types including metal, modified bitumen, built-up roofs, and single-ply membranes. The key requirement is that your roof needs to be structurally sound—coatings restore and protect, but they can’t fix major structural problems.
We inspect every roof before recommending coating. If your roof has significant damage, multiple layers, or drainage issues, we’ll tell you upfront. Coating isn’t a magic fix for every situation, and we won’t sell you something that won’t work.
For roofs that qualify, coating is often a much more cost-effective option than replacement. You get extended life and improved performance at a fraction of the cost of tearing off and starting over.
With proper application and maintenance, quality roof coatings last 10-20 years in Louisiana’s climate. The key is using coatings specifically designed for high heat, humidity, and UV exposure like we see in the Gulf Coast region.
Elastomeric coatings are particularly well-suited for our area because they expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking. This flexibility is crucial when your roof goes from 70 degrees at dawn to 150+ degrees by afternoon.
Regular inspections help maximize lifespan. We recommend annual checkups to catch any minor issues before they become major problems. With basic maintenance, many coatings exceed their expected lifespan significantly.
No—professional roof coating is a legitimate restoration method, not a band-aid. When applied to a structurally sound roof, coating creates a new protective membrane that can extend your roof’s life by 10-15 years or more.
The coating becomes part of your roofing system, providing waterproofing, UV protection, and energy efficiency improvements that weren’t there before. It’s 100% tax deductible as a maintenance expense the year it’s installed, unlike replacement which must be depreciated.
That said, coating isn’t appropriate for every situation. If your roof has major structural issues, multiple leaks, or is near the end of its structural life, replacement might be the better long-term solution. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest recommendations.
Roof coatings typically cost 50-60% less than full roof replacement. For an average Starks home, you’re looking at a few thousand dollars for coating versus $15,000-30,000+ for complete replacement.
The savings go beyond just upfront costs. Coating eliminates tear-off expenses, disposal fees, and the disruption of a full replacement project. Most coating jobs are completed in 1-2 days versus a week or more for replacement.
However, coating only works if your roof structure is sound. If you need new decking, structural repairs, or have multiple layers that need removal, replacement might be more cost-effective long-term. We evaluate each roof individually to recommend the best approach for your situation and budget.
Quality roof coatings are specifically designed to handle the severe weather conditions common in Louisiana. They create a seamless, flexible membrane that moves with your roof during temperature changes and wind events.
The coatings we use have proven track records through hurricanes, hail storms, and the constant UV bombardment of Gulf Coast summers. They’re formulated to maintain their protective properties through extreme conditions that would damage lesser materials.
That said, no roofing material is indestructible. Severe hail or flying debris can damage any roof surface. The advantage of coating is that minor damage is often easily repairable without replacing the entire system, and the underlying protection remains intact even if the surface is compromised.
