Roof Coating in Jersey City, NJ

Jersey City Roofers Pros applies reflective roof coatings that seal a failing low-slope roof before water reaches the deck. We are licensed and insured, and our number is 2017789628. Salt-laden Hudson River air corrodes membranes here, so a fresh elastomeric coating adds years of service.

Roof coating is a restorative system rather than a paint. We wash the surface, prime chalky areas, then apply an acrylic coating or a silicone coating that cures into a rubber membrane. Silicone holds over ponding water; acrylic elastomerics breathe.

Cost depends on the roofing square count, coating type, and how much prep the deck needs. Acrylic coating on a clean roof costs far less than a silicone system with primer systems and reinforcing fabric. Ice dam removal can add a day.

Roof coating suits a sound membrane that has lost reflectivity; roof repair or roof replacement is the answer when the deck is gone. On a built-up roof or modified bitumen surface, a polyurethane coating is the better route. UV degradation and blistering decide the answer.

What's Included

  • A roof condition survey with moisture readings on the roof deck, sheathing, and any plywood or OSB panel that has gone soft below the ice-and-water shield.
  • Surface prep that scrapes away failed mastic, roof cement, caulk, sealant, and adhesive before the primer bonds to the substrate.
  • Seam and flashing repair at step flashing, counter-flashing, chimney flashing, pipe flashing, apron flashing, boot flashing, and the vent boot.
  • Drip edge, eave, rake, verge, and gable work, plus snow guard checks on steep pitches, wherever wind uplift pulled a fastener or screw loose.
  • Silicone coating, acrylic coating, or a polyurethane system such as GAF Unisil or Henry, applied at the stated coverage rate for a reflective finish.
  • Reinforcing fabric pressed into the repair coat over splits, blisters, and any low spot where ponding water collects.
  • Gutter services such as installation, downspout clearing, and scupper checks, plus a written line-item roof estimate before we start.
  • Signs You Need Roof Coating

  • Ponding water still sitting in the same low spots two days after a hard rain.
  • Blistering, alligatoring, or chalking that rubs off gray when you touch a sunny stretch of rooftop.
  • Granule loss on asphalt shingles along a ridge or hip, a clear sign of UV degradation.
  • Rust streaks, a lifted metal panel edge, a flashing that opened after storm damage, or a skylight or dormer staining the ceiling below.
  • A ridge vent packed with debris and a dead attic fan, which turns a ventilation problem into a coating problem.
  • An ice dam at the eave, or steam ice that keeps reforming, which points to heat loss and thin insulation.
  • Our Roof Coating Process

  • We set a ladder or scaffold, rig a safety harness and anchor points, and confirm building code rules before any work starts.
  • You get a written roof estimate listing squares, roofing materials, cure time, and the days we expect to be on site.
  • Prep comes first: we cut blisters, reseal seams, check the truss, rafter, joist, and ridge beam for rot, run infrared scans for wet insulation, and set a vapor barrier over damp patches.
  • Loose material comes off with a pry bar and roofing shovel, debris goes into the dumpster, and a nail gun and air compressor handle any sheathing repairs. No open torch goes near dried material.
  • Where the decking is soft we replace the plywood or OSB, then check the purlin, batten, and counterbatten line on older roofs.
  • Base coat goes on by roller or airless sprayer, reinforcing fabric goes into it, and after cure time we clear the gutters and walk the roof with you.
