Roof repair installing asphalt shingles beside a brick chimney

Service · A1 Chimney & Roofing

Roof Coating / Elastomeric Coating

A roof coating is a liquid layer, often an elastomeric coating, applied over a roof that is still sound. It is used on roofs built for a coating, commonly low-slope systems. It is not a new shingle roof.

The work

What is a roof coating?

The roof is cleaned and the seams and flashings are repaired first. Coating over a wet deck or an open seam seals the leak in. A coating is recommended only when the membrane underneath can still do its job.

A shingle roof that has lost its granules is usually a repair or a replacement, not a coating. Low-slope systems are flat roof systems.

Why it matters

Why this work matters

A coating can extend the service of a roof that is a candidate for it. It cannot turn a rotten deck into a roof. The visit is to see which of those you have.

No year-count is promised here. The condition of the roof decides whether a coating is even the right job.
