System overview

What Roof Coatings delivers on a commercial roof.

Overview

Roof coatings, also known as fluid-applied roofing, provide a cost-effective alternative to total roof replacement. By applying a high-solids silicone or acrylic membrane over your existing roof, we create a seamless, watertight barrier that reflects up to 88% of solar heat and adds decades to your roof's service life.

Composition

How the system is built.

Commercial roof coatings are specialized liquid-applied membranes available in silicone, acrylic, or urethane formulations. High-solids silicone is our preferred choice for flat roofs due to its strong ponding water resistance and thermal stability.

Key features

Why specifiers choose Roof Coatings.

Seamless Protection

Liquid-applied membrane creates a monolithic, joint-free surface that eliminates the risk of seam failure.

Maximum Reflectivity

White coatings reflect the majority of UV radiation, keeping roof surface temperatures up to 60°F cooler.

Ponding Water Resistant

Premium silicone coatings will not degrade under standing water, making them ideal for flat roofs with drainage issues.

100% Tax Deductible

Unlike roof replacement, coatings are often categorized as a maintenance expense, allowing for 100% tax deduction in year one.

Restore vs. Replace: Why Roof Coatings are the Smart Choice for Facility Managers

For decades, when a commercial roof reached its 15th or 20th year and started showing signs of wear, the only option was a costly total tear-off and replacement. Today, Capital City Roofing’s fluid-applied restoration systems offer a third path that delivers equal performance at a fraction of the investment. A high-solids silicone roof coating system (RCS) can extend the life of an existing TPO, EPDM, or metal roof by up to 20 years. Because there is no tear-off involved, we eliminate the disruption of a major construction site, keep your building fully protected during the process, and avoid thousands of dollars in landfill tipping fees. For property managers in Atlanta dealing with rising capital costs, roof restoration provides an immediate solution to leaks and energy loss while preserving capital for other building needs. Our silicone systems create a permanent chemical bond with your existing roof surface, creating a seamless 'cool roof' membrane that reflects up to 88% of solar radiation, often paying for itself through energy savings within the first five years.

FAQ

Questions specifiers ask about Roof Coatings.

Can any roof be coated?

Most roofs that are structurally sound and have less than 20% wet insulation can be successfully coated. We perform moisture surveys and adhesion tests to verify suitability.

How long does a roof coating last?

Standard coatings provide 10-20 years of protection. The best part is that the system can be cleaned and recoated at the end of its life to renew the warranty indefinitely.

Is silicone better than acrylic?

Silicone is superior for flat roofs because it resists ponding water. Acrylic is more cost-effective for sloped roofs but will break down if water stands on it for long periods.
