Commercial Roof Coatings Atlanta, GA
Advanced Roofing & Paving restores aging commercial roofs with silicone coating systems across Metro Atlanta. A properly prepared coating seals the roof in one seamless, reflective layer and extends its service life without the cost and disruption of a tear-off.
What Is a Silicone Roof Coating?
A silicone roof coating is a liquid-applied membrane sprayed or rolled over an existing roof. It cures into a continuous, seamless surface that resists standing water and UV exposure. White silicone also reflects sunlight, which reduces heat gain inside the building.
When a Coating Makes Sense, and When It Doesn't
Membrane is aged but still attached and mostly intact
Membrane is torn, brittle or loose across large areas
Insulation is mostly dry (confirmed by scan)
Wet insulation is widespread
Leaks are isolated and repairable
The deck is damaged or deteriorating
The owner wants to delay a capital replacemen
The roof already has two layers and structural concerns
Our FLIR infrared roof scan is how we tell the two apart before recommending a coating. If the roof is a poor candidate, see commercial roof replacement.
Roofs We Restore
TPO
Restore reflectivity and seal aging seams.
EPDM
Add a reflective surface over black rubber
Built-Up
Seal weathered plies after surface preparation
Modified Bitumen
Protect granulated cap sheets.
Metal
Seal seams and fasteners and stop rust spread.
Metal Roof Restoration
Aging metal roofs usually leak at fasteners, panel laps and flashings, and rust spreads from those points. A metal roof restoration treats rust, replaces or seals fasteners, reinforces seams, then coats the full surface for continuous protection.
How a Roof Coating Project Works
- Inspect and scan for wet insulation
- Replace wet sections of insulation and membrane
- Repair seams, flashing, penetrations and drains
- Clean the surface so the coating bonds properly
- Prime where the substrate requires it
- Reinforce seams and details
- Apply silicone at the specified thickness
- Final inspection and closeout documents See roof warranties.
Advantages of Silicone Roof Restoration
- Lower cost and less disruption than a tear-off
- Seamless surface with no new seams to fail
- Resists ponding water better than many coating types
- White, reflective finish helps with Atlanta summer heat
- Keeps the existing roof out of the landfill
Limitations to Consider
Only works over a sound, mostly dry roof
Surface preparation determines how well the coating bonds
Silicone surfaces can be slippery when wet and attract dirt over time
Future repairs must use compatible silicone materials

Commercial Roof Coating FAQs
It depends on coating thickness, surface preparation, exposure and maintenance. Compare the warranty term offered with the coating system. Many systems can be recoated later rather than replaced.
Usually, because the existing roof stays in place and there is no tear-off or disposal. The roof must be a good candidate first.
We repair leaks and replace wet sections first. A coating is not a patch for active structural leaks
In most cases, yes. Coating work is quieter and creates less debris than a tear-off.
It depends on roof size, condition, repairs needed and coating thickness. We give a free written estimate after inspectio
