Roof coating is a protective layer applied over your existing roof to seal leaks, reflect heat, and extend its life by 10-15 years — ideal for Middletown homes facing salt air, humid summers, and Nor'easter storms. We apply it in one to two days, saving you the cost of a full tear-off.
Roof coating works by forming a seamless, self-adhered membrane over your current roof surface. We start with a power wash to strip away dirt, moss, and granule loss. Then we inspect every seam, flashing edge, and vent boot. Any cracks or punctures get a patching compound before we roll on the coating. The material is a thick, elastomeric formula that stretches with temperature swings. On a 2,000-square-foot roof, we apply two full coats, letting the first cure for about four hours. The finish reflects UV rays, dropping attic temps by up to 20 degrees in July. It also seals the microscopic gaps where water wicks under shingles. For homes in Leonardo or Port Monmouth, where salt air erodes asphalt over time, this coating adds a sacrificial layer that takes the beating instead of your shingles. We've coated roofs on 1960s ranches in Lincroft and newer builds near Poricy Park. Each job starts with a moisture reading — if your decking shows rot or decay, we'll tell you before we start. Coating is not a fix for structural sag or widespread end-of-life wear. But for a sound roof with 5-10 years left, it's a smart way to delay a full replacement.
Roof coating includes a full inspection of your roof deck, flashing, and ventilation. We power wash the surface to remove dirt, moss, and loose granules. Then we repair any cracks, blisters, or punctures with a compatible patching compound. We apply a primer to bare metal or masonry areas. The coating goes on in two coats using a sprayer and roller. We hand-seal around chimneys, skylights, and vent pipes. Finally, we inspect every lap and seam to ensure full coverage. The service also includes a 10-year workmanship warranty and a 15-year material warranty. We clean up all debris and dispose of any waste. You get a written report with photos of the before and after.
Your roof needs coating if you notice granules in the gutters, a faded or chalky surface, or small leaks after heavy rain. Cracked or blistered shingles let water seep into the deck. If you see dark streaks or moss, that's moisture trapped on the surface. A coating seals these issues. But if you have sagging rooflines, widespread rot, or shingles that curl and flake, a coating won't fix structural damage. We check for soft spots on the deck and signs of decay around vents and chimneys. If the roof is sound, coating is a smart preventive step.
First, we walk your roof and take moisture readings. We look for rot, decay, or sag that would rule out coating. Next, we power wash and let it dry for 24 hours. We then patch any cracks or holes with a self-leveling sealant. After that, we apply the first coat of elastomeric coating using a sprayer, back-rolling to work it into the surface. We let it cure for 4-6 hours, then apply the second coat. We pay special attention to flashing, vents, and the starter course at the eaves. The field course gets an even, thick layer. We use ring-shank nails to secure any loose flashing before coating. Finally, we inspect the finished surface for pinholes or thin spots. The whole process takes one to two days. We clean up all materials and leave your property tidy. You get a final walkthrough and warranty documents.
