Is This Roof A Fit?
Shingle coating passes through a narrow gate. Most of the decision happens on the roof, one slope at a time.
Coat The Shingles
Fix Spots, Then Coat
Replace The Shingles
A coating seals the surface; it adds no strength to brittle tabs, which is why the tab check comes first.
Shingle Roof Details We Check
The hip roof plan below marks the six places that decide whether shingle coating goes ahead.
Ridge And Hip Caps
Cap shingles along ridges and hips take the most sun and wind. Cracked caps get replaced before any coating covers the ridge line.
Valley Where Slopes Meet
Valleys carry water from two slopes and wear first. Worn valley shingles or open metal valleys get repaired and sealed.
Plumbing Vent Boots
Rubber vent boots crack with age and leak into ceilings below. Cracked boots get replaced before the surface is coated.
Wall And Dormer Flashing
Step flashing where a slope meets a wall pulls loose and lets water behind it. It gets resealed or replaced first.
Eave Line And Gutter
Granule loss shows first along the eaves, and gutters full of granules tell how worn the roof is. Gutters get cleared and checked.
Tab Field On Each Slope
Curled, cracked, or missing tabs on any slope stop the coating on that slope. Flat, attached tabs with good granules move forward.

Benefits of Coating Your Roof
What a coating does for shingles that still pass the tab check.
Seals Small Surface Wear
Light granule loss and hairline surface wear get sealed under the coating, slowing further loss on the slopes that face the sun.
Reflective Finish
A coated shingle roof reflects more sunlight than dark shingles, which helps the rooms under a strip center or office roof.
Tear-Off Put Off
On shingles in good shape, coating extends the roof you have instead of starting a replacement now.
Problem Spots Fixed First
Vent boots, flashing, and valleys get repaired during prep, so the leaks that brought you to the roof get handled too.
Granules Piling Up In The Gutters?
Call us and describe what you see on the shingles. Heavy granule loss and curled tabs point to replacement; light wear can be a coating candidate.
How Shingle Roof Coating Work Gets Done
How we take a commercial shingle roof from the first look to a finished coating.
Inspect Your Roof
We walk every slope, check tabs for curling and cracks, look at granule loss, and note vent boots, flashing, and valleys that need repair.
Check The Shingle Maker
Some shingle makers restrict coatings, and a coating can affect the shingle warranty, so the maker's guidance gets checked with you.
Repair Boots, Flashing, And Tabs
Cracked vent boots, loose step flashing, worn valleys, and lifted tabs get fixed before cleaning starts.
Clean The Shingles
Loose granules, dirt, and moss come off with a gentle wash so the coating grips the shingle surface.
Apply The Coating
The coating goes on slope by slope, and you see the color and texture change early so there are no surprises.

Do you coat asphalt shingle roofs on commercial buildings?
Yes, on strip centers, offices, and churches whose shingles lie flat, stay attached, and hold most of their granules. Curled, cracked, or missing shingles need repair or replacement first. Check the shingle maker's guidance before work, since some restrict coatings and a coating can affect the shingle warranty, and settle the color and texture change early.
How do you tell if shingles are too worn to coat?
Look for curled or cracked tabs, bare mat where granules are gone, and tabs missing in rows. Any of those across a slope rules coating out there. Flat tabs with most granules still in place pass, and we check each slope separately, since a south slope often wears faster.
Will a coating stop a leak at a vent or wall?
Leaks at vents and walls come from failed boots and flashing, so those get repaired before coating. The coating then seals the surface around them. Fixing the boot or flashing stops the leak; the coating protects the roof around that repair.
What color does a coated shingle roof turn?
Coatings come in a set of colors, and white or light colors reflect the most sunlight. The shingle texture shows through, but the roof looks different afterward, which is why we settle the color with you during planning and not on the roof.
Can part of a shingle roof be coated?
It can. Slopes that pass the tab check can be coated while a worn slope gets repaired or replaced. The trade-off is looks: coated and uncoated slopes will differ, so we talk through how the roof reads from the parking lot before deciding.
