Full Roof Replacement Isn't Your Only Option

Full roof replacement is expensive and disruptive. Tearing off the old system, disposing of debris, and reinstalling takes weeks — and your business operations suffer. For many commercial property owners, there's a better path: roof coatings.

Roof coatings waterproof, seal, and extend the life of your existing roof — without tearing off a single square of membrane. Metro Roofing applies silicone, elastomeric/acrylic, and polyurethane coatings to flat and low-slope commercial roofs across the full DMV region.

The key is eligibility: coatings only work on roofs in adequate structural condition. We'll assess your roof during a free inspection and tell you honestly whether a coating is the right move — or if you genuinely need a replacement.

Roof Coating Systems We Apply

Silicone roof coating application

Silicone Roof Coating

Silicone is the premium choice for flat and low-slope roofs with ponding water issues. It remains flexible through extreme temperature swings, resists UV degradation, and does not harden or crack over time. Silicone bonds directly to most existing membrane systems including TPO, EPDM, and Modified Bitumen without a primer in many applications.

Best for:

Flat commercial roofs, buildings with drainage limitations, roofs with existing ponding water

Elastomeric coating on roof

Elastomeric / Acrylic Coating

Elastomeric coatings are water-based, highly reflective, and ideal for roofs in good condition that need waterproofing and surface protection. They expand and contract with the roof substrate, preventing cracking and bridging minor surface imperfections. Acrylic coatings are among the most cost-effective coating options available and are compatible with a wide range of roof systems.

Best for:

Metal roofs, BUR systems, roofs in good condition needing a cost-effective waterproofing layer

Polyurethane coating application

Polyurethane Roof Coating

Polyurethane coatings offer superior impact resistance and durability compared to silicone or acrylic systems. They are ideal for roofs with high foot traffic, mechanical equipment, or exposure to physical wear. Available in aromatic and aliphatic formulations — aliphatic polyurethane resists UV yellowing and is used as a topcoat for long-term color and gloss retention.

Best for:

Roofs with heavy foot traffic, rooftop equipment, or where maximum durability is required

Why Property Owners Choose Roof Coatings

Avoid Full Replacement Cost

Coatings typically cost 50–70% less than a full tear-off and replacement.

Extend Roof Life 10–15 Years

A properly applied coating adds a full service cycle to an aging roof system.

Stop Active Leaks

Seamless application eliminates existing leak points at seams, penetrations, and field areas.

Waterproof Membrane

Creates a continuous, monolithic barrier against water intrusion.

Minimal Disruption

No tear-off, no debris, no business interruption. Most projects completed in 1–3 days.

Is Your Roof a Good Candidate for a Coating?

Good Candidates

  • Flat or low-slope roof in structurally sound condition
  • Existing membrane with minor surface wear, cracks, or seam issues
  • TPO, EPDM, Modified Bitumen, BUR, or metal roof systems
  • Roofs 5–20 years old with significant remaining structural life
  • Property owners looking to avoid replacement for 10+ more years

Not a Good Candidate

  • Roofs with widespread moisture saturation below the membrane
  • Severely deteriorated or structurally compromised decking
  • Roofs already coated with incompatible materials
  • Systems requiring full tear-off due to code requirements

How Metro Roofing Applies Roof Coatings

1

Free Roof Assessment

We inspect the existing roof system, identify moisture, structural condition, and coating compatibility.

2

Infrared Moisture Scan

Infrared technology detects hidden moisture beneath the membrane that must be addressed before coating.

3

Written Proposal

You receive a detailed scope of work, coating system recommendation, and itemized estimate.

4

Surface Preparation

Roof is thoroughly cleaned, dried, and primed where required. All seams, cracks, and penetrations are reinforced prior to coating.

5

Coating Application

Coating is applied in the specified thickness (mil rate) using spray, roller, or brush per manufacturer requirements.

6

Quality Inspection

Wet film thickness is measured, coverage is verified, and the finished roof is photographed for documentation.

7. Warranty Issuance

Manufacturer warranty and workmanship warranty documentation provided upon project completion.
