Commercial Roof Coating & Restoration Systems

For many commercial buildings, a roof coating system can provide a cost-effective alternative to complete roof replacement. When a roof is structurally sound but showing signs of age, weathering, or UV deterioration, a professionally installed coating system can restore performance, extend service life, and improve long-term building protection.

We exclusively apply commercial grade coating systems manufactured by Architectural Roof Coatings (ARC) in Rowlett, Texas. ARC has been producing high-performance roof coating products for decades, and their systems have proven themselves on commercial roofing projects throughout Texas

Having worked with ARC products for many years and knowing the company's founder and chemist personally for over 25 years, we have complete confidence in the quality, consistency, and performance of every installation.

Commercial roof coatings can be applied over a variety of existing roof systems, including:

  • Modified Bitumen Roofing

  • R-Panel Metal Roofing Systems

  • Built-Up Roofing (BUR)

  • Aged Single-Ply Roofing Systems

  • Previously Coated Roof Assemblies

Benefits of Commercial Roof Restoration:

  • Extends the life of an existing roof system

  • Reduces replacement costs and landfill waste

  • Provides a seamless waterproofing surface

  • Reflects solar heat and reduces roof temperatures

  • Minimizes disruption to building operations

  • Improves overall roof appearance

  • Allows many roofs to remain in service for years beyond their expected life cycle

Before recommending any coating application, we perform a detailed roof assessment to determine whether restoration is the best solution. Roof coating systems can often deliver substantial savings compared to a complete tear-off while providing years of additional protection and performance.

Our goal is simple: maximize the value of your existing roof while protecting your building and your budget.

ARC Commercial Roof Restoration Systems

These coating systems are designed to restore aging commercial roofs, seal vulnerable details, and extend the service life of existing roofing assemblies without the expense and disruption of a complete roof replacement.

DynaSHIELD® Liquid Tape

DynaSHIELD is a liquid-applied flashing material that cures into a seamless, monolithic waterproof membrane. It is commonly used around penetrations, seams, transitions, fasteners, curbs, drains, and other high-risk leak locations. Once cured, it creates a flexible, water-resistant seal capable of accommodating normal thermal movement and expansion common in commercial roofing systems.

HydroSHIELD® and Liquid-Applied Membrane Systems

HydroSHIELD is a Liquid-applied membrane systems eliminate many of the seams and joints that are common failure points in traditional roofing systems. Properly prepared and reinforced systems can restore weather resistance while significantly extending roof service life. These systems are commonly used over modified bitumen, metal roofing, and select single-ply applications when approved by the manufacturer and installed according to specification.

Reflective Acrylic Top Coatings

ARC's reflective acrylic coating systems provide a bright, highly reflective finish that helps reduce roof surface temperatures and protects the underlying roof from damaging ultraviolet exposure. The reflective surface helps slow the aging process of the roof system while providing a clean, uniform appearance. By reducing thermal stress and UV degradation, acrylic coatings can help preserve roofing materials and extend the overall service life of the roof assembly.

Cost-Effective Roof Restoration

Many commercial roofs reach a point where they are weathered but still structurally serviceable. In these situations, a restoration system can often provide years of additional performance at a fraction of the cost of a full tear-off and replacement. Restoration projects generate less disruption to building operations, reduce landfill waste, and allow building owners to maximize the value of their existing roof investment.

Warranty Options

Depending on the roof type, existing conditions, coating thickness, and system design, restoration systems may qualify for manufacturer-backed warranty programs. System warranties typically provide broader protection than material-only warranties because they address both product performance and approved installation methods. Pillar Roofing Workmanship Warranty terms apply after inspection, testing, and manufacturer review of the proposed restoration system has been completed.

Our Roof Coating Process

We make roof coatings simple, transparent, and built for long-term performance. From the first inspection to the final walkthrough, our team focuses on protection, energy savings, and clear communication every step of the way.

Inspection, Core Review & Quote

We start with a free on-site roof inspection to check membrane condition, seams, drainage, ponding water, and any wet insulation that could affect coating performance. Then we explain your options clearly and provide a detailed quote, coating system recommendation, and realistic timeline for your commercial property.

Prep Work & Coating Application

Before any coating goes down, we clean the roof surface, complete needed roof repairs, reinforce problem areas, and prep penetrations, flashing, and seams for strong adhesion. Our RCAT-licensed team then applies the right roof coating system at the proper coverage rate, usually over one to three days depending on roof size and weather.

2

Final Check & Ongoing Protection

After the coating cures, we perform a final quality inspection to confirm even coverage, sealed details, and proper drainage across the roof system. We walk you through the completed work, answer questions, and can set up a maintenance plan to help your coated roof last longer and perform better.

FAQs

Roof Coatings FAQs

Common questions from commercial property owners about roof coating systems, cost, lifespan, and whether a coating is the right fit for your building.

  • What is a roof coating, and how does it help my commercial roof?

    A roof coating is a protective liquid membrane applied over an existing commercial roof. Once it cures, it creates a seamless layer that helps seal the surface, protect against weather, and slow down wear. For many buildings, a coating can help stop minor leaks, reduce future damage, and extend the life of the current roof without the cost of a full replacement.

  • How do I know if my roof is a good candidate for a coating?

    The best way to know is to have us inspect it. In general, coatings work best on commercial roofs that are still structurally sound but showing signs of aging, small leaks, surface cracks, or weathering. If the roof has major saturated areas, severe damage, or underlying structural issues, a coating may not be the right solution. At Pillar Roofing, we provide free estimates and honest recommendations, so you get the option that makes the most sense for your building and budget.

  • Is a roof coating cheaper than a roof replacement?

    In many cases, yes. A roof coating is often more affordable than a full commercial roof replacement because it uses the existing roof as the base when the system is still in serviceable condition. That means less tear-off, less disruption, and a lower overall project cost. We will inspect your roof and let you know if a coating can solve the problem or if a replacement would be the better long-term investment.

  • How long does a roof coating last?

    That depends on the condition of the roof, the coating system used, and how well the roof is maintained. Many commercial roof coatings can last for years when properly installed and supported by routine inspections and maintenance. We will explain what to expect based on your roof type and give you straightforward guidance on how to get the longest life from the system.

  • Will a roof coating interrupt my business operations?

    Most coating projects are less disruptive than a full roof replacement. Since there is usually less tear-off and less debris, many businesses can stay open during the work. We plan every project carefully, communicate with you clearly, and work to keep noise, access issues, and downtime to a minimum so your day-to-day operations are affected as little as possible.
