Commercial Roof Coatings
Protect Your Investment and Improve Longevity
Maintaining a commercial roof is a critical investment for any business owner. A well-protected roof not only extends the life of the building but also reduces energy costs, prevents leaks, and protects your property from weather-related damage. One of the most effective solutions for prolonging the life of a commercial roof is the application of professional roof coatings. With years of expertise in commercial roofing systems, Emmons offers high-quality roof coating services that protect your investment while improving performance and durability.

Why Commercial Roof Coatings Are Important
Commercial roofs experience extreme weather conditions, from scorching sun to heavy rain, snow, and wind. Over time, these elements can cause wear and tear, including cracks, blisters, and leaks. Roof replacement can be costly, but with the right protective coating, you can extend the life of your roof by several years.
Roof coatings provide a seamless barrier that shields roofing materials from UV rays, water intrusion, and thermal expansion. They also help regulate temperature inside your building by reflecting sunlight and reducing heat absorption. This can lead to lower energy bills and improved comfort for occupants, making roof coatings a cost-effective solution for businesses of all sizes.
Types of Commercial Roof Coatings
Emmons works with building owners to determine which coating is best suited for their roofing system, climate conditions, and long-term maintenance goals. With expert application, each coating type can significantly improve your roof’s lifespan and performance. Commercial roof coatings come in several types, each designed to meet specific roofing needs.
Acrylic Coatings
Water-based and reflective, acrylic coatings are ideal for protecting flat and low-slope roofs from UV damage and weathering. They are cost-effective and easy to apply, making them popular for commercial properties.
Silicone Coatings
Highly resistant to ponding water, silicone coatings are perfect for areas prone to heavy rainfall or poor roof drainage. They provide excellent durability and weather resistance.
Polyurethane Coatings
Known for their impact resistance and flexibility, polyurethane coatings are commonly used on roofs that go through heavy foot traffic or mechanical equipment. They offer strong protection against leaks and physical damage.
Bituminous (Asphalt) Coatings
These coatings provide waterproofing and UV protection for various roof types. They are durable and often used for commercial flat or low-slope roofs.

Benefits of Commercial Roof Coatings
By addressing both preventative and restorative needs, roof coatings allow building owners to maintain the integrity and functionality of their commercial roofs without disrupting daily operations. Investing in commercial roof coatings comes with a variety of advantages, including:
- Extended Roof Life: Coatings protect your roof from further damage, allowing you to postpone costly replacement.
- Energy Efficiency: Reflective coatings help lower cooling costs by reducing heat absorption.
- Leak Prevention: A properly applied coating seals minor cracks and gaps, preventing water intrusion and structural damage.
- Cost Savings: Roof coatings are often far more affordable than a full roof replacement while offering similar protection.
- Environmental Benefits: Some coatings are eco-friendly, reducing the need for roofing material disposal and promoting energy conservation.
Signs Your Commercial Roof May Need a Coating
Early inspection and maintenance can prevent minor issues from becoming major problems. Emmons’ experienced team conducts thorough assessments to recommend the best coating solution tailored to your roof’s condition. Not every roof requires a coating, but certain signs indicate it may be time to invest in protective solutions. Look for:
- Surface cracks or blisters on the roof membrane
- Evidence of leaks or water stains inside the building
- Fading, chalking, or peeling of the existing roof surface
- Ponding water that does not drain efficiently
- Aging roofs approaching the end of their warranty
