Our Expertise

Roof Coating in Des Moines, Iowa.

Roof coatings are one of the most cost-effective ways to extend the life of a roof that still has solid structure underneath. Instead of tearing everything off and starting over, a professional coating system seals minor leaks, reflects UV damage, and creates a new waterproof barrier.

We use Mule-Hide silicone and Seal-Fast Liqui-Flash coating systems depending on your roof type and condition. These products are designed for Iowa's freeze-thaw cycles and stand up to ponding water, hail, and extreme temperature swings.

Roof coatings work best on low-slope and flat roofs, but can also extend the life of metal and modified bitumen systems. Our team will inspect your roof and tell you honestly whether a coating makes sense or if replacement is the better investment.

FAQ

Roof Coating FAQ

How long does a roof coating last?
A properly applied silicone roof coating typically lasts 10-15 years before needing reapplication. The beauty of coatings is that they can be recoated again without a tear-off, making them a long-term maintenance strategy for commercial and low-slope roofs.
Is roof coating cheaper than replacement?
In most cases, yes. Coating costs a fraction of a full replacement and can be done in less time with less disruption. That said, coating only works when the underlying structure is sound. If your decking is rotted or your roof has severe damage, replacement is the right call.
Can you coat a shingle roof?
Roof coatings are primarily designed for flat, low-slope, metal, and modified bitumen roofs. Traditional steep-slope asphalt shingle roofs are generally better served by repair or replacement. We'll inspect your roof and recommend the right approach.
Silicone or acrylic roof coating: which is better in Iowa?
Silicone and acrylic coatings fit different roof conditions. Acrylic systems perform best where the roof has positive drainage, while prolonged ponding water can shorten their service life or affect warranty eligibility. Silicone is often the better fit for areas that hold water. We select the system from the existing membrane, drainage, preparation needs, and the manufacturer's written specification rather than climate alone.
Do you coat metal roofs?
Yes. Metal roof restoration is one of the best uses for a coating. Aging metal panels often develop problems at fasteners and seams before the panel itself fails. After loose material and corrosion are properly prepared, a compatible coating system can seal seams and fastener heads, slow further corrosion, and add a reflective surface. Whether restoration is appropriate depends on the panel and deck condition.
Is a roof coating the same as waterproofing?
A properly specified coating can form a continuous weather-resistant membrane, but it is not a fix for structural problems or unsuitable underlying materials. It cannot repair wet insulation, rotted decking, or a failed substrate. We assess drainage, adhesion, visible conditions, and the existing roof assembly before quoting a coating; if moisture is trapped below the membrane, restoration may not be appropriate.
What does a roof coating cost, and where in Iowa do you apply them?
Coating cost depends on square footage, the number of penetrations, how much prep and seam work the roof needs, and the system we specify. That is why we quote from an inspection rather than a phone call. We apply coatings across Central Iowa, including Des Moines, West Des Moines, Ankeny, Urbandale, Waukee, Grimes, Altoona, and the surrounding communities. Most of this work is commercial and low-slope, so call (515) 967-8199 and we will get on the roof and give you real numbers.
