Your roof coating investment pays for itself. In Louisiana’s scorching heat, the right coating drops your roof temperature by up to 60 degrees, which means your AC doesn’t work overtime just to keep you comfortable.
You’ll see the difference on your next utility bill. Most Sulphur homeowners save hundreds annually, while commercial properties can reduce energy use equivalent to powering 10 air conditioning units year-round.
Beyond the immediate savings, you’re buying time. A quality roof coating extends your roof’s lifespan by years, sometimes decades, without the massive expense of replacement. That’s real protection for your biggest investment.
We understand Southwest Louisiana’s unique challenges. We’ve spent years perfecting roof coating applications that stand up to Gulf Coast humidity, sudden storms, and relentless summer heat.
Our team knows Sulphur’s climate inside and out. We’ve seen how traditional roofs struggle here, and we know exactly which coating systems perform when it matters most.
Every application comes with manufacturer-backed warranties and our commitment to getting it right the first time. We’re not just applying coatings—we’re solving problems that other contractors often miss.
We start with a thorough roof inspection to identify any issues that need addressing before coating application. This isn’t a quick look-around—we’re checking for structural problems, drainage issues, and areas that could compromise the coating’s performance.
Next comes surface preparation. We clean the roof completely, make necessary repairs, and ensure the surface is ready for optimal coating adhesion. This step determines how well your coating will perform for years to come.
The coating application itself uses professional-grade equipment and techniques specific to Louisiana’s climate. We apply multiple coats as needed, ensuring complete coverage and proper thickness throughout. Weather conditions matter here, so we time everything perfectly for the best cure and performance.

Louisiana throws everything at your roof—hurricane-force winds, months of humidity, and summer temperatures that regularly hit the mid-90s. Our coating systems are specifically chosen for these conditions.
Silicone coatings excel in our climate because they resist ponding water and provide superior UV protection. They stay flexible through temperature swings and maintain their protective properties even when Louisiana weather gets extreme.
For Sulphur properties, we often recommend reflective elastomeric coatings that expand and contract naturally with your roof. These systems create a permanent barrier against rain while reflecting up to 90% of harmful UV rays that cause the most roof damage in our area.
In Sulphur’s climate, roof coatings typically reduce cooling costs by 20-30% during peak summer months. For an average Louisiana household, that translates to hundreds of dollars in annual savings.
The science is straightforward: reflective coatings can drop your roof surface temperature by up to 60 degrees. When your roof isn’t absorbing and radiating heat into your attic, your air conditioning doesn’t work as hard to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.
Commercial properties see even greater impact. Large buildings can achieve energy reductions equivalent to 15,800 kilowatt-hours annually—roughly the usage of 10 standard AC units. These aren’t theoretical numbers; they’re based on real performance data from properties throughout Southwest Louisiana.
Quality roof coatings are specifically engineered for Gulf Coast weather conditions, including high winds, driving rain, and extreme temperature fluctuations. The key is using the right coating system and proper application techniques.
Elastomeric coatings, which we frequently use in Sulphur, are designed to flex with your roof during storms rather than cracking under stress. They create a monolithic, seamless barrier that doesn’t have the weak points you’d find with traditional roofing materials.
We’ve seen properly applied coatings perform through multiple hurricane seasons. The coating acts as an additional protective layer that can actually help your existing roof weather severe storms better than it would without protection. However, application timing and surface preparation are critical for this level of performance.
With proper maintenance, quality roof coatings can last 10-20 years in Louisiana’s challenging climate. The lifespan depends on the coating type, application quality, and how well the roof is maintained over time.
Silicone coatings tend to perform exceptionally well in our humid environment because they’re naturally resistant to moisture and UV degradation. They don’t support mold or algae growth, which is crucial in Louisiana’s high-humidity conditions.
The key to longevity is annual inspections and minor touch-ups as needed. Most coating failures we see aren’t due to the coating itself wearing out, but rather from small issues that weren’t addressed early. A simple maintenance schedule can extend your coating’s life significantly and protect your investment.
Yes, most roof coatings can be applied directly over existing roofing materials, which is one of their major advantages. This eliminates the cost and disruption of a complete roof tear-off while still providing excellent protection.
However, the existing roof must be in reasonable condition. We thoroughly inspect the substrate to ensure it’s structurally sound and properly prepared for coating adhesion. Issues like extensive ponding water, significant membrane damage, or structural problems need to be addressed first.
Different existing roof types require different preparation approaches. Metal roofs need proper cleaning and sometimes primer application. Modified bitumen or single-ply membranes require different surface prep techniques. The key is matching the coating system to your specific roof type and condition for optimal performance.
Roof coatings typically cost 60-80% less than complete roof replacement while providing many of the same protective benefits. For most Sulphur properties, coating represents significant savings without compromising performance.
Roof replacement can range from $8,500 to over $30,000 depending on size and materials. Quality roof coating systems usually cost a fraction of that while extending your existing roof’s life by 10-20 years or more.
The economic advantage goes beyond initial cost. Coatings eliminate tear-off and disposal fees, require less labor time, and can often be applied without disrupting building operations. Plus, coating costs are typically 100% tax-deductible as maintenance expenses in the year of installation, unlike replacement costs that must be depreciated over time.
Yes, we provide comprehensive warranties that combine manufacturer material warranties with our workmanship guarantees. This dual protection ensures you’re covered for both product performance and installation quality.
Manufacturer warranties typically cover the coating material itself for 10-20 years, depending on the specific system chosen. These warranties protect against premature coating failure, cracking, or performance issues when the coating is properly maintained.
Our workmanship warranty covers the application process, ensuring proper surface preparation, correct application techniques, and adherence to manufacturer specifications. We stand behind our work because we know proper installation is critical to coating performance in Louisiana’s demanding climate.
