Silicone Roof Coating

Maintenance for Silicone Roof Systems

Proper care of a silicone roof system extends its service life and maintains performance. Regular inspections and timely upkeep prevent issues that can lead to costly repairs. Knowing when to perform maintenance and how to spot early signs of wear is essential.

Routine Maintenance

We advise inspecting the silicone roof at least twice a year, preferably in spring and fall. During inspections, clear debris such as leaves and dirt that can trap moisture or cause damage.

Check for ponding water after rainfall. Silicone coatings resist water, but prolonged pooling can affect the membrane or underlying structure.

Clean the surface using mild detergents and soft brushes to avoid damaging the coating. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools that weaken the silicone.

Reapply silicone coating every 5 to 10 years depending on exposure and wear. We schedule periodic recoating to maintain elasticity and waterproofing.

Signs Your Roof Needs Recoating

Look for visible cracks, blisters, or chalking on the silicone surface. These indicate the coating is breaking down and losing effectiveness.

If water starts to penetrate the membrane or there are leaks, recoating is necessary to restore protection.

Discoloration or heavy dirt accumulation resistant to cleaning suggests the coating’s protective properties are fading.

When we see these signs, we recommend prompt recoating to avoid more extensive damage or structural issues. Maintaining the coating preserves roof integrity and reduces long-term costs.

Our Silicone Roof Coating Process

We follow a detailed, step-by-step approach to ensure the best performance and longevity of your silicone roof coating. This includes thorough preparation, precise application, and a careful final review to meet our quality standards.

1. Inspection and Preparation

We start by inspecting the entire roof surface to identify any damage, debris, or existing coating issues. This step allows us to address leaks, cracks, and weak spots before applying the silicone coating.

Cleaning is vital. We remove all dirt, dust, loose materials, and algae using power washing or manual methods. A clean surface ensures proper adhesion.

Repairs are made as needed. We patch holes and seal seams to create a smooth, uniform surface. This preparation maximizes the coating’s effectiveness and durability.

2. Expert Application

Our team applies the silicone roof coating using specialized equipment such as airless sprayers or rollers, depending on the roof type and access.

We apply the coating in even, consistent layers to avoid pooling or uneven thickness. This ensures full coverage and optimal waterproofing.

Multiple coats are applied when necessary, following manufacturer guidelines on drying times and thickness. This layered approach enhances protection against UV rays and weather elements.

3. Cleanup

After application, we clean all tools and equipment thoroughly to prevent material hardening and waste.

We perform a final inspection to verify there are no missed spots, bubbles, or defects. This includes checking edges and flashing areas where leaks often develop.

We also test the coated surface for water resistance to confirm the quality of our work meets industry standards.
