The Recommended Flat Roof Coating Experts in Florida

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

Urethanes 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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much does it cost to replace an asphalt shingle roof?

What’s important to remember here is that costs will vary depending on the type of asphalt shingles you opt for, as well as the roofing contractor and the materials they use. However, you can work on a ballpark of anywhere between $3.50 and $5.50 per sq. ft. to reach a broad estimation.

How long do asphalt roof shingles last?

The average asphalt roof shingles are expected to last around 20 years. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs could help in extending this lifespan.

What color shingles are best?

This is a matter of personal preference together with what works well with the design of the home. Fortunately, asphalt roofing provides a wide variety of colors to choose from to meet those needs. It’s best to discuss your options and ideas with your local roofing service provider before making the decision (which you’ll have to live with for at least the next two decades!).

I originally gave this company a 5 Star, and I cannot express how much I regret that original rating. Back in April, this company performed roofing work on my home. At the time, everything appeared to be fine. Fast-forward six months to October, and I started having a rat problem. Initially, I assumed it was just an unfortunate situation that could happen to any homeowner. Then I went back and reviewed the video footage from when they performed the work in April. What I discovered was absolutely unacceptable. During the original repair, they cut an opening in my roof to address an existing design issue with the house. They removed the soffit, covered the area with metal, and NEVER properly replaced the soffit or sealed the opening they created. They essentially left an entry point into my home, which is responsible for my current rodent problem. Last week, I contacted the company, explained the situation, and provided photographs, videos, and multiple emails documenting the problem. They told me someone would come out this week to evaluate the issue. An appointment was scheduled for Thursday between 12 PM and 4 PM. Guess what? NOBODY SHOWED UP. I called to find out what was going on. They subsequently emailed me, explaining that their technician was running late on another repair and would instead arrive between 5 PM and 6 PM. Guess what happened next? 6:10PM, no one showed up. Let me explain why this is particularly infuriating. I took the entire day off work to be home so this company could inspect and evaluate THEIR OWN WORK, despite already having video evidence of what they did. That means I lost an entire day's income waiting for someone who couldn't even be bothered to show up. And to make matters worse? TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY. My wife had planned to take me out for a birthday dinner. Instead, we spent the evening waiting for a roofing company that apparently has no respect for its customers' time, money, or commitments. So, to recap: I paid this company to perform roofing work. Months later, I discovered what appears to be an improperly repaired opening in my roof. I now have a rodent problem, I've lost income trying to get the issue addressed, and I've wasted an entire day waiting through TWO appointment windows that they failed to honor. This has been, without question, the WORST experience I've ever had with a roofing company in Florida. I will be contacting my attorney to discuss options. And because I documented the original work, I have PHOTOGRAPHS AND VIDEO FOOTAGE showing exactly what was done. I intend to publish a full video documenting this entire experience, including the original work, the opening they left behind, and my attempts to get the company to address it. That video will be coming VERY soon on YouTube. I don't expect perfection from any contractor. Mistakes happen. But when a company makes a mistake, the absolute minimum I expect is for them to take responsibility, communicate with their customer, and actually SHOW UP when they promise to. Apparently, even that is asking too much. Buyer Beware!

We had a great experience with Elo. From start to finish they had the process super optimized. They guided us through the claim process with the insurance accurately and it was approved quickly. Most of the installation of the roof took a day, waited for the inspection of the county, and then completed the rest in an evening. Very clean job and organized execution. Out of all the companies that worked on our community after we got hail damage, this is the one that always impressed me the most. Highly recommended. Kudos to Jeff, Eric, and the rest of the team.
