Specialty Roof Coatings

Not every roof needs to be replaced — and that’s where specialty roof coatings come in. These liquid-applied systems can restore and protect aging commercial roofs, seal minor issues, improve energy efficiency, and delay the cost of full re-roofing by 5–15 years.

At Independent Roofing, we use high-performance coating systems designed for commercial applications — applied by trained professionals who know how to assess your roof and determine whether a coating is the right choice.

Roof coatings are fluid-applied membranes that cure into a seamless, protective layer over your existing roof system. They are often used to:

• Extend the life of aging roof systems
  
• Improve reflectivity and energy performance
  
• Seal cracks, seams, and minor surface damage
  
• Add a secondary waterproofing barrier
  

Most commercial coatings are elastomeric — meaning they expand and contract with temperature — and are applied over compatible systems like metal, modified bitumen, TPO, or EPDM.

Coatings aren’t a fix-all — but when applied to the right roof, at the right time, they can provide years of added performance at a fraction of the cost of replacement.

Ideal Candidates:

Aging but structurally sound roofs

Minimal moisture infiltration beneath membrane

Building owners looking to extend system life

Projects needing fast, low-disruption solutions

Flat or low-slope roofs with good drainage

If your roof is already saturated or has extensive underlying damage, we’ll recommend a repair or re-roof instead.

We’ll inspect your existing system and determine whether a specialty coating is the right move — or if another solution would better serve your long-term goals.
