A roof coating can be a useful restoration option when the existing assembly is sound, dry and compatible. The suitability work comes before the coating selection.

Restoration begins with a suitable existing roof
A coating is applied to an existing roof, so that roof becomes the substrate for the new system. Its condition, moisture and adhesion matter as much as the coating chemistry.
The evaluation should identify saturated material, open seams, failed flashings and drainage issues. Necessary repairs and unsuitable materials need to be addressed before the roof is prepared for coating.
Start with suitability
Moisture and soundness
Wet insulation, unstable roofing and a deteriorated deck are not corrected by adding a liquid layer above them.
Compatibility and adhesion
The selected coating must suit the existing covering. Preparation and testing establish whether the substrate can receive it.
Drainage and details
Water paths, penetrations, edges and equipment curbs need their own corrections and reinforcement details.
What coatings do and do not repair
Restoration and replacement resolve different conditions.
What still needs physical correction
Remove unsuitable wet material, correct failing flashings and resolve drainage or structural concerns through the appropriate work. A coating does not replace those steps.
Prepare, detail and apply the system
Preparation and conditions are part of the system rather than optional extras.
1
Evaluate and test
Identify the existing roof, moisture concerns and adhesion requirements. Decide whether restoration is appropriate.
2
Repair and prepare
Complete required detail repairs and cleaning. Use the primer or preparation method called for by the selected system.
3
Apply and document
Work within the product’s weather and substrate conditions, with the specified application and thickness. Retain maintenance and warranty requirements with the property record.
