Commercial roof coatings in Wisconsin - more years, less money.
A fluid-applied silicone, acrylic or polyurethane coating seals every seam on your Wisconsin commercial roof into one seamless, reflective membrane - adding 10-20 years for a fraction of a tear-off, with no disruption to your building. If it won’t hold, we’ll tell you.

*Illustrative ballpark for a structurally sound, coatable roof in WI/IA - not a quote, and restoration only fits sound roofs. A free assessment (with a moisture scan) confirms whether yours qualifies and the exact number.
More years, less money, no tear-off.
If your roof is structurally sound, restoration is the smart money move - here’s why owners choose it over a full replacement.
Extend the roof 10-20 years at a fraction of a tear-off-and-replace - see the estimator above for your building.
When the time comes, recoat to extend the roof again. You’re never starting from zero, so the value compounds.
A reflective white surface bounces heat instead of absorbing it, trimming cooling loads and utility bills.
No tear-off, no dumpsters, no debris raining into your building - tenants and operations keep running while we coat.
A restoration can often be expensed as maintenance rather than a capital replacement, which may carry tax advantages (ask your advisor).
The fluid-applied membrane seals every seam, flashing and penetration into one continuous, watertight surface.
The right coating chemistry for your roof.
Three proven coating types - we match the system to your roof’s slope, exposure and traffic.
Silicone
$2.50-$4.50per sq ft installedShrugs off standing water and UV without going brittle - the premium choice for flat roofs that hold water.
Acrylic
$1.50-$3.50per sq ft installedA water-based, highly reflective cool-roof coating - strong value on sloped, sunny roofs.
Polyurethane
$2.50-$4.50per sq ft installedHard-wearing and impact-resistant - where foot traffic and rooftop equipment demand durability.
Ranges are for the coating system itself; the exact number depends on roof condition and prep. A typical restoration runs well below a full replacement - use the savings estimator →
If it’s sound, we can probably save it.
Coatings work across most low-slope commercial roof types - here’s what we routinely restore.
Single-ply (TPO / EPDM)
Re-waterproof aging membranes, seal failing seams, and add a fresh reflective surface - without a tear-off.
Modified bitumen & BUR
Renew aging asphalt and built-up roofs, sealing splits and blisters and adding years of life.
Metal roofs
Seal rust spots and fastener leaks and stop corrosion in its tracks with a coating built for metal.
Spray foam (SPF)
Recoat the foam to protect it from UV and weather and extend its service life for another cycle.
We won’t sell you a coating that won’t hold.
Restoration only works on a sound roof. Here’s the honest line - and our free moisture scan confirms it.
- The deck and insulation are structurally sound and dry
- The problems are surface-level - seams, flashings, surface leaks
- The membrane still has usable life left in it
- You want to defer a big capital replacement
- The insulation is wet or saturated
- There’s structural failure or widespread rot
- The membrane is simply too far gone
We’ll tell you the truth about your roof.
Plenty of contractors will coat any roof and cash the check. We start with a moisture scan and tell you honestly whether a coating will hold - and recommend replacement when that’s the right call.

Coatings & restoration, answered.
What is roof coating and restoration?
A fluid-applied coating is rolled or sprayed over a cleaned and repaired existing roof, sealing every seam into one seamless, reflective, waterproof membrane. It restores a sound roof rather than tearing it off and replacing it.
How does coating cost compare to replacement?
Restoration is typically a fraction of a full tear-off, roughly $2.50-$4.50 per sq ft versus $6-$10+ for a new membrane. Use the savings estimator for a ballpark; exact numbers come in a written proposal.
How long does a roof coating last?
A quality coating commonly adds 10-20 years depending on system and exposure - and it’s renewable, so you can recoat later to extend the roof again rather than starting over.
Is my roof a candidate for restoration?
If the deck and insulation are sound and the problems are surface-level, usually yes. If the insulation is wet or the roof has failed, replacement is the right call. We’ll tell you honestly - see the candidate check.
Will a coating stop my leaks?
For surface and seam leaks, usually yes. If water is trapped in wet insulation, that has to be fixed first - otherwise a coating just seals the problem inside. Our assessment includes a moisture scan.
Are there tax advantages to restoring instead of replacing?
Often. A restoration may qualify as a maintenance expense rather than a capital replacement, which can carry tax advantages. Confirm the specifics with your tax advisor.
