The Cost Benefit of Roof Coating

Save time and money with the benefits of roof coating. A professionally installed coating system can pay for itself in the first year versus amortizing the cost of a new roof over 10 years. When you extend the life of your roof you also help to keep roofing materials out of landfills.

A commercial roof coated with a highly reflective finish can also help reduce overall energy cost. By keeping the cool air in and hot air out, highly reflective roof coatings deliver a cooler and more comfortable environment inside the building. Because roof coatings go directly on top of your existing roof, the entire installation takes less time. Roof coating services rarely interrupt anybody who may be working in the building.

Choose From Three Types of Roof Coatings

At Mark Dunlap Painting LLC we specialize in the three types of roof coatings: Acrylic, Elastomeric and Silicone.

Acrylic roof coatings serve a broad range of mild climates. They offer strength and performance under Waimea's weather events. Acrylic roof coatings are also highly reflective and UV-resistant, making them a great energy saver.

Elastomeric roof coatings are less expensive than other coating types, Elastomeric roof coatings can withstand a range of weather conditions. Elastomeric roof coatings offer good reflectivity and protection against UV rays. Combining elastomeric with another coating will make it extremely durable.

Silicone roof coatings are the go-to solution for moisture control and preventing water damage. Silicone roof coating can eliminate the need for primer. Since silicone formulas possess less reflectivity qualities than other coating types and may not be the right solution for customers focusing on reducing their energy bill.
