Your Professional Flat Roof Coating Contractor in Jacksonville

Many businesses, commercial buildings, and Elo Roofing warehouses have flat roofs. They’re particularly useful for creating extra outdoor space, giving you easy access to clean or repair them, and offer wind resistance.

A common myth is the flat roofs are not durable and cannot hold the weight of snow, but this is not true. Building codes require that flat roofs be able to carry enough weight to protect the structural integrity of the building.

However, what you will find is that flat roofs need a higher degree of maintenance. With that in mind, here are some of the best flat roof coating solutions to protect your roof from the elements and natural aging.

Why Apply a Coating?

Flat roof coating can ensure that your roof lasts another 10-15 years without needing to be replaced. It prevents leaks, is easy to apply, and gives you the longevity you need at a much lower cost than replacing the entire roof.

A reliable roof coating company like Elo Roofing can inspect your current roof and suggest the best coating for you. Which coating you need depends on the type of roof you have and whether your roof has a high amount of traffic. There are many different solutions you can choose from, so keep reading to see your options.

Types of Flat Roof Coating

There are several types of roof coatings that provide particular benefits to flat roofs. They include asphalt, acrylic, polyureas, and urethanes. Each has a different purpose, so while they all work, your needs will determine which type of flat roof coating you choose.

ASPHALT

Asphalt coatings are mixed with a solvent that helps thin the asphalt, making application easy via spray nozzle or brush. Some asphalt coatings have added aluminum to aid in sun reflection. Other additives can increase the strength, thickness, or longevity of the coating.

Asphalt emulsions use water instead of a solvent to thin the mixture. The same additives can create additional strength, thickness, and longevity, and it’s applied the same way. The benefit of using water is that the solution doesn’t allow water to pool, which can aid in a non-slip surface that can accommodate heavy traffic.

ACRYLIC

Acrylic elastomers are highly reflective and usually installed on bituminous and non-bituminous roofing. This reflective surface aids in deflecting heat, keeping your building cooler and better insulated.

Acrylic is extremely durable. It has been used for decades for Elo Roofing purposes, and because of its easy application, it is more cost-effective and provides the best value.

POLYUREAS

Polyureas haven’t been used for as long as some of the other coatings on the market. Some polyureas are similar to polyurethane and others are closer to urethane. These types of coatings are continually being modified by manufacturers to make them even better.

Polyureas provide excellent abrasion resistance, structural enhancement, corrosion protection, waterproofing, and chemical resistance.

URETHANES

Urethane roof coatings are used commonly on concrete surfaces like driveways and parking garages. They can also be used on wood. They are used alone and not layered with other roofing products. Urethane coatings are perfect for high traffic areas because they are seamless, flexible, and durable.

Urethane coatings expand and contract with your roof, resist water pooling, and are more impact resistant than many other flat roof coatings.

How Flat Roof Coating is Applied

Flat roof coating contractors usually brush or spray your roof coating onto the surface. The length of the process depends on which kind of coating you choose and the size of your roof.

First, they’ll clean your roof, identifying any areas that need to be repaired. Next, they’ll fix any holes, tears, or open seams so that the coating will be as effective as possible. Then they’ll start in one corner and either spray or brush the coating on in small sections.

The weather conditions have to be just right as well. Applying a roof coating when the roof is too hot or too cold can affect its adhesive qualities. Sometimes a flat roof coating service will only work early in the morning if the peak temperatures that day are not favorable.

It can take up to 24 hours for the coating to dry and your flat roof coating company may recommend you stay off it for even longer depending on how much time it needs to set.

ELO Roofing services provides excellent roofing that I wasn't aware of given past exprience with roofers. Victoria answered the phone when I called; she was, freindly and proffessional. We set a meeting with the Project Mngr., C.J. H. C.J. was a gentleman and ready to find out what was causing my roof leak; he beagn detailed inspections in the attic and on top of roof. My problem wasn't the nineteen shingles replaced by a roofer. It was the vent tube cover was erroded. ELO Roofing estimate and reair time was fast, professional and efficient. Now I am happy homeowner, again. I am glad that I found ELO Roofing, for any of my furture roofing concerns. It is a company I trust and value that will to do the right thing the first time.

Elo Roofing completed a full roofing job for us. Every detail of the project was handled in an exceptional manner. Robert Osborne was exceptional in discussing the project with us and really took the time to educate us on every aspect of a roofing job. Victoria Rodriguez, the project manager, kept us fully informed before and during the project process. Highly recommend this company Update to initial review…. I need to post the below update, an update to initial 5-star review that was posted a few days after project completion. Please note that this review has absolutely nothing to do with the installation or workmanship. This was great. My issue is with the aggressive sales tactics and after installation responses. Basically I believe that I was conned into getting a replacement roof that was not needed. I have reached out multiple times to the company and the only response that I received was an unpleasant one from the initial salesman. Elo replaced my roof on August 20th 2026. The roofing debacle started in September 2025 to address a leak in my bathroom ceiling. I was told then that my roof was not leaking and that the leak was coming from the venting pipes. We paid $1500 to address the issue. July 2026 the same spot was leaking again. We were then told that our entire roof had over 60% shingle disintegration which could possibly be defective shingles, and that we needed a new roof. I asked why the leak was in the same spot and was told that the leak was coming from the roof. My roof was only 11 years old. I specifically asked if a roof replacement will take care of the leak and was told yes. I was given a huge sales pitch about GAF shingles: that the shingles produced by this company suffer premature shingle disintegration and that they still cannot fix that issue, that I may have received defective shingles at installation, that I can get the roof replaced with shingles with a 50-year warranty, etc. One MONTH later, the initial spot was still leaking and another spot developed in the kitchen. Another company person was sent out and he found the cause of the leak. It was NEVER the roof. The leak was caused by condensation in the air conditioning ducts in the attic. He told us that there was a lot of water in the ducts and the ducts not the roof were leaking. This was the issue from the very beginning. The only reason it took months for the leak to reappear after the first ‘fix’ was that the weather started cooling down and the AC was not used as much until this year’s summer heat. I honestly feel that I was conned into getting a $17K roof. I am retired, and retired or not $17K is a huge expense. The roof that was replaced was only 11 years old and I am sure it would have lasted at least another four to five years. Roofing companies in Florida are desperate for roofing jobs since Florida has been spared of major storms since 2024. I am assuming that this is one reason for aggressive sales pitches. All I am asking from them is a fair reimbursement for the AC and ceiling repair ($1K) which is the additional funds I had to spend to address the real issue and they have flatly refused to do so. I have spoken to their Project Manager, received one unpleasant call from the salesman who insisted that my roof was leaking, emailed them, received one message from their Sales Manager Ryan who has not returned any of my calls. This company prides themselves on being an honest company which is one of the reasons I chose them. Apparently this is not so.Their response is that they do not do home inspections, but if they had honestly told us that there were no roof leaks, then we would have taken the appropriate actions ourselves to accurately diagnose and resolve the issue. I have never left an unsatisfactory review for any company ever before because my belief is that if I cannot speak well of someone or something, then say nothing at all. This post is to try and educate anyone in a situation like this to please be diligent in your research before being pushed into unnecessary expenses.
