Restore & Protect Your Commercial Roof with Premium Silicone Coatings
A silicone roof coating is one of the most cost-effective ways to restore an aging commercial roof without the expense and disruption of a complete replacement. High Valley Roofing specializes in professional silicone roof coating systems that create a seamless, waterproof barrier capable of withstanding standing water, harsh UV exposure, hail, rain, snow, and Colorado’s extreme weather conditions.
Silicone coatings help extend the service life of existing roofing systems while reducing maintenance costs and improving overall building performance. When applied to a roof that is still structurally sound, a silicone restoration system can add years—even decades—to your roof’s lifespan.
Whether your building has a flat roof, low-slope roof, metal roof, modified bitumen, TPO, EPDM, or spray polyurethane foam (SPF), our experienced commercial roofing specialists can determine if a silicone restoration system is the right solution.
What Is a Silicone Roof Coating?
Silicone roof coatings are liquid-applied roofing membranes that cure into a seamless, flexible waterproof surface. Unlike many other coating materials, silicone remains stable under prolonged UV exposure and performs exceptionally well in areas where water tends to pond.
Instead of tearing off your existing roof, a silicone coating restores its waterproof integrity while minimizing waste and installation costs.
Benefits include:
- Seamless waterproof membrane
- Exceptional UV resistance
- Superior ponding water protection
- Extends roof life
- Lower restoration cost than replacement
- Minimal disruption to business operations
- Energy-saving reflective finish
- Reduced maintenance requirements
Signs Your Roof May Benefit from Silicone Coating
A professional roof inspection can determine whether your roof qualifies for restoration.
Common signs include:
Minor roof leaks
Aging roofing membrane
UV deterioration
Small cracks or splits
Weathered roof surface
Ponding water
Surface erosion
Frequent maintenance needs
Increased cooling costs
Roof nearing the end of its warranty
If the roof deck remains structurally sound, restoration is often far more economical than replacement.
Roof Types Compatible with Silicone Coatings
Silicone coatings can be applied over many commercial roofing systems, including:
- Modified Bitumen
- EPDM 7 TPO Roofing
- PVC Roofing
- Metal Roofing
- Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF)
- Built-Up Roofing (BUR)
Each roof is inspected to ensure proper adhesion and long-term performance before coating installation begins.
Our Silicone Roof Coating Process
High Valley Roofing follows a proven restoration process designed for long-lasting results.
Comprehensive Roof Inspection
We begin by evaluating:
- Existing roof condition
- Moisture intrusion
- Membrane integrity
- Drainage performance
- Flashings
- Seams
- Penetrations
- Structural condition
Roof Cleaning
The roof is thoroughly cleaned using commercial pressure washing and approved cleaning methods to remove:
- Dirt
- Oils
- Mold
- Debris
- Loose coatings
- Oxidation
Proper preparation is essential for strong adhesion.
Repairs Before Coating
Before coating application, we repair:
- Open seams
- Flashing issues
- Cracks
- Blisters
- Minor leaks
- Damaged penetrations
- Fasteners
- Surface defects
Silicone Application
Our crews professionally apply the specified silicone coating thickness using commercial spray or roller application techniques to achieve complete coverage.
Special attention is given to:
- Roof penetrations
- HVAC units
- Drain areas
- Flashings
- Expansion joints
- Roof transitions
Final Inspection
Once cured, we perform a detailed quality inspection to verify:
- Uniform coverage
- Proper thickness
- Waterproof protection
- Complete sealing
- Finished appearance
Advantages of Silicone Roof Coatings
Excellent Waterproofing
Silicone creates a monolithic membrane that eliminates many common leak points found in traditional roofing systems.
Superior Ponding Water Resistance
Unlike many acrylic coatings, silicone resists deterioration caused by standing water, making it ideal for low-slope commercial roofs.
UV Protection
Colorado’s high elevation exposes roofs to intense ultraviolet radiation. Silicone coatings resist UV degradation and help protect the underlying roof system.
Reflective Energy Savings
White silicone coatings reflect solar heat, helping reduce rooftop temperatures and lowering cooling costs during the summer.
Longer Roof Life
A professionally installed silicone coating can significantly extend the service life of an existing roof, delaying the need for a full replacement.
Lower Lifecycle Costs
Restoration typically costs substantially less than installing a new commercial roofing system while reducing future repair expenses.

Frequently Asked Questions
A professionally installed silicone coating can last 10 to 20 years or more, depending on the coating thickness, roof condition, climate, and ongoing maintenance.
Yes. Silicone coatings create a seamless waterproof membrane that can eliminate many leaks after necessary repairs are completed. Significant structural damage may require additional repairs before coating.
Silicone coatings are commonly applied over metal roofs, EPDM, TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, built-up roofing (BUR), and spray polyurethane foam (SPF), provided the existing roof is a suitable candidate.
If your roof is structurally sound, restoration with a silicone coating is often much more affordable than replacement while extending the roof's lifespan by many years.
Yes. White reflective silicone coatings reduce heat absorption, helping lower rooftop temperatures and reducing air conditioning demand during warmer months.
Most silicone roof coating projects can be completed much faster than a full roof replacement, though timelines vary based on roof size, weather, and any required repairs.
In most cases, no. Silicone roof coating installations are minimally disruptive, allowing businesses to remain operational throughout the project.
The best way is to schedule a professional roof inspection. We'll evaluate the condition of your existing roof and recommend whether a silicone restoration system or another solution is the best long-term investment.
