What a roof coating is
A coating is a liquid system rolled or sprayed onto a flat or low-slope roof. It cures into one seamless layer over the existing roof, sealing the seams and small cracks where flat roofs usually leak. We apply Conklin coatings.
When a coating makes sense
A coating goes over a roof that's still basically sound: dry underneath, no widespread rot, just worn on top. On a roof like that, coating can be a practical alternative to tearing it off. If the roof is past that, we'll tell you and quote a replacement instead.
How it's done
The roof is cleaned and any damaged areas are repaired first, because a coating is only as good as what's under it. Then the seams, drains and flashings are sealed and the coating goes on across the whole roof.
What a coating can't do
A coating seals a roof; it doesn't rebuild one. It won't dry out insulation that's already wet, fix a deck that has rotted, or cure a roof that holds large pools of water because it has sagged. Coating over problems like those just hides them for a while.
That's why the roof is checked before it's quoted. If a coating isn't the right answer for your building, we'll say so, and quote the repair or replacement it needs instead.
Coating or replacing
On a roof that's still sound, coating has real advantages over tearing it off: the existing roof stays in place, so there's no tear-off waste, and the work disturbs the building below much less. Light-colored coatings also reflect sunlight, which can help keep the space underneath cooler in summer.
A replacement is still the right call for a roof that's wet through or failing across the whole surface. We'll tell you which one your roof is.
Looking after a coated roof
A coated roof needs little attention, but a few habits keep it in good shape:
- Keep drains and scuppers clear of leaves and debris
- Walk on the roof only where you need to
- Have it looked at after big storms
- Get small punctures sealed before they spread

Questions about roof coatings
What brand of coating do you use?
Conklin.
Can a coating go on any roof?
It suits flat and low-slope roofs that are still sound underneath. If the roof is wet through or badly damaged, it needs repair or replacement first.
Do you coat house roofs?
Coatings are for flat and low-slope roofs, which usually means commercial buildings. For a pitched house roof, see residential roofing.
Can a coating fix a roof that's wet underneath?
No. A coating seals a sound roof. Wet insulation or a rotten deck has to be repaired or replaced first.
Is there less disruption than a replacement?
Usually, yes. The existing roof stays in place, so there's no tear-off, and the building below is disturbed much less.
Water coming in, or a roof to plan?
