Cool roof coating is a white or light coating with high solar reflectance and high thermal emittance. In plain terms, it bounces most of the sun back and sheds the heat it does absorb. A dark roof in Washington, DC on a summer afternoon can get far hotter than the air around it. A cool roof stays much closer to air temperature.

Some states and cities have cool roof rules for commercial reroofing, California's Title 24 being the best known. Many utility programs also offer rebates for cool roof products. We will use rated products and help you gather the product data your permit or rebate paperwork asks for.

Almost any coating we install can be a cool roof coating if it is rated for it: silicone, acrylic and many urethane top coats. Keeping it cool means keeping it clean, because dirt and biological growth lower reflectance over time. We can set you up with a simple washing schedule.

Cool roof coating in Washington, DC pairs well with spray foam roofing on buildings that need more insulation too. How much it helps your energy bills depends on the building, so we do not promise a number. Call (833) 441-4944.

Commercial Roof Coating FAQs

Questions about commercial roof coating and silicone roof restoration

Questions we hear about Cool Roof Coating in Washington, DC.

Call our crew
What is a commercial roof coating?
A commercial roof coating is a fluid-applied membrane, usually silicone, acrylic or polyurethane, sprayed or rolled over an existing roof. It seals seams and small defects, adds a new UV-resistant surface and in most cases turns the roof white. It restores the roof you have instead of replacing it.
Silicone or acrylic: which is better?
Silicone handles ponding water and UV well and is the usual pick for flat roofs. Acrylic is economical and works well on metal and roofs with good slope, but it does not like standing water. Silicone can only be recoated with silicone, so that matters for long-term planning.
Can a roof coating be expensed instead of capitalized?
In many cases a restoration coating is treated as maintenance rather than a capital improvement, which can change how it is handled for taxes. That is a question for your accountant, and we can give them the scope of work and product data they need.
Do you need to shut down my building?
No. Coating work happens on the roof and the building stays closed. We phase the job around your hours and keep overspray and odor under control around air intakes.
What roof types can be coated?
We coat metal, TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, built-up roofs and spray foam. Each needs its own cleaning and primer steps, and we run an adhesion test on your roof before committing.
