It is undeniable. It is impossible to run a successful business if it has a leaky roof. Commercial property owners in and around the Greater Metro Boston area, invest thousands of dollars into the correct roofing system. Protect your investment with roof coatings from the experts at Boston Pro Painting Company.

Unfortunately, many business owners in Boston do not realize the importance of maintaining the roof of their commercial building until problems occur. Your roof protects products and customers from sun exposure, weather variations and water damage. Left without an appropriate coating, your roof will start to leak. Roof coatings from Boston Pro Painting Company can help extend the life of your investment and protect your business from Boston area weather.

Coating your roof correctly involves repairing, patching and coating. Our roofing coating service includes restoring and weatherproofing your roofing system to handle the toughest of weather conditions. When applied correctly, roof coatings will add years to the life of your roof.

The Cost Benefit of Roof Coating

Save time and money with the benefits of roof coating. A professionally installed coating system can pay for itself in the first year versus amortizing the cost of a new roof over 10 years. When you extend the life of your roof you also help to keep roofing materials out of landfills.

A commercial roof coated with a highly reflective finish can also help reduce overall energy cost. By keeping the cool air in and hot air out, highly reflective roof coatings deliver a cooler and more comfortable environment inside the building. Because roof coatings go directly on top of your existing roof, the entire installation takes less time. Roof coating services rarely interrupt anybody who may be working in the building.

Choose From Three Types of Roof Coatings

At Boston Pro Painting Company we specialize in the three types of roof coatings: Acrylic, Elastomeric and Silicone.

Acrylic roof coatings serve a broad range of mild climates. They offer strength and performance under Boston's weather events. Acrylic roof coatings are also highly reflective and UV-resistant, making them a great energy saver.

Elastomeric roof coatings are less expensive than other coating types, Elastomeric roof coatings can withstand a range of weather conditions. Elastomeric roof coatings offer good reflectivity and protection against UV rays. Combining elastomeric with another coating will make it extremely durable.

Silicone roof coatings are the go-to solution for moisture control and preventing water damage. Silicone roof coating can eliminate the need for primer. Since silicone formulas possess less reflectivity qualities than other coating types and may not be the right solution for customers focusing on reducing their energy bill.

Roof Coating FAQs

Why Should I Get My Roof Coated with a Reflective Coating?

Reflective roof coatings are most commonly used on commercial roofs. Reflective coatings for roofs save money on heating and cooling costs. They also create a protective barrier that makes your roof last longer. Reflective coatings shield the roof from UV rays (which cause chemical breakdowns) and help minimize erosion caused by the weather. The most common types of roof coatings are silicone, elastomeric and aluminum.

Can You Recoat a Roof?

Yes, most coating systems are renewable and sustainable, but you should check the manufacturer's recommendations.

How Do You Apply a Roof Coating?

The method depends on the type of coating, but it can be brushed, sprayed, or rolled on. For best results, spray the coating, but roll the outside edge to avoid over-spraying.

When Should You Apply a Coating?

For thermoplastic rubber, the surface should be clean and dry, and the temperature should be 5?F above the dew point. For best spray results, the temperature should be between 70-90?F.
