Silicone Roof Coating
Silicone Roof Coating | 954-691-3336
South Florida Silicone Roof Coating Systems | Lauderdale Painting
Stop leaks, eliminate ponding water damage, and drastically lower your cooling costs with seamless silicone roof restoration.
South Florida’s flat roofs take a brutal beating from relentless UV rays and heavy tropical downpours. Over time, modified bitumen, built-up roofs (BUR), and single-ply membranes degrade, leading to leaks and costly interior damage. Instead of a highly disruptive and expensive complete roof tear-off, Lauderdale Painting offers a smarter solution: High-Solids Silicone Roof Coatings. We install seamless, waterproof membranes for commercial buildings, industrial warehouses, and flat-roofed modern homes.

The Power of Silicone Roof Restoration
💧 Total Waterproofing & Ponding Water Resistance
Unlike acrylic roof coatings that break down underwater, silicone is moisture-cured and naturally inorganic. This means our silicone coatings permanently withstand ponding water—a common issue on South Florida flat roofs—without degrading, bubbling, or leaking.
☀️ Energy Efficiency & “Cool Roof” Technology
Our bright white silicone coatings reflect up to 88% of the sun’s harmful UV rays. By preventing solar heat from entering your building, a silicone roof can reduce your facility’s interior temperature and significantly lower your summer air conditioning costs, often paying for itself in energy savings over time.
🏢 Commercial & Industrial Applications
We coat warehouses, shopping centers, manufacturing plants, and apartment complexes. The application process is virtually silent and odor-free, meaning your business operations and tenants will experience absolutely zero disruption during the installation.
The Installation Process
- Deep Cleaning: We power wash the entire roof surface to remove dirt, algae, and loose debris.
- Seam & Penetration Sealing: We inspect every square inch, applying thick silicone mastic and reinforcing fabric to all seams, HVAC curbs, vents, and flashings where leaks most commonly occur.
- Seamless Application: We roll or spray a monolithic layer of 100% high-solids silicone over the entire roof surface, creating a seamless, rubberized, watertight barrier that can extend your roof’s life by 10 to 20 years.
Silicone Roof Restoration FAQ
How does a silicone coating compare to a traditional roof replacement?
A silicone restoration is typically half the cost of a full tear-off and replacement. Because the coating is applied directly over your existing roof membrane, there is no expensive debris disposal, no risk of interior exposure to rain during the project, and virtually zero disruption to your business operations.+1
Can silicone coatings really handle “ponding water”?
Yes. This is the primary advantage of silicone over acrylic “cool roof” paints. Acrylic coatings are water-based and will eventually re-emulsify (dissolve) if water sits on them. Silicone is an inorganic, moisture-cured membrane that is permanently waterproof; it will not degrade even under the constant ponding water common on South Florida’s flat roofs.
How much can I expect to save on my energy bills?
Our high-solids white silicone coatings are Highly Reflective (up to 88% UV reflectance). By reflecting solar heat away from the building rather than absorbing it, facility managers often see a 15% to 35% reduction in cooling costs. In many cases, the energy savings over the life of the coating can fully offset the cost of the installation.+2
Is my roof a good candidate for a silicone coating?
Most flat or low-slope commercial roofs—including Modified Bitumen, TPO, EPDM, Built-Up Roofs (BUR), and Metal—are excellent candidates. The main requirement is that the underlying roof insulation must be dry and the structural deck must be sound. We provide a free assessment to ensure your roof is a viable candidate before recommending a coating.+1
How long does a silicone roof coating last?
Depending on the thickness of the application (the “mil” thickness), a professional silicone restoration can extend the life of your roof by 10 to 20 years. One of the best features of silicone is that it is “re-coatable”; once the initial lifecycle is over, the roof can simply be cleaned and a new topcoat applied to reset the clock.+1
How do you handle the seams and high-leak areas?
Most roof leaks occur at the seams, HVAC curbs, and penetrations. Our process includes detailing these areas with thick silicone mastic and reinforcing fabric before the main coat is applied. This creates a monolithic (seamless) barrier that eliminates the joints where traditional roofing systems usually fail.
