Why coat rather than replace

A silicone roof coating was applied directly over T-MAKs' existing metal roof, eliminating the cost and disruption of a tear-off.

Silicone roof coatings are significantly more affordable than traditional roof replacement, which makes them a budget-friendly option for commercial building owners. Applied directly over an existing metal roof, they eliminate costly tear-off and reduce business disruption during installation.

The coating also protects the underlying roof from harsh weather and extends its lifespan, while reflecting sunlight to reduce heat absorption — lower energy costs and a more comfortable interior.

The outcome

The building owner was thrilled with the results. The project was completed on time and within budget, with minimal disruption to the business operating underneath.

Do this yourself

3 steps to evaluate a roof coating

Whether or not you hire us, this is the process that protects you on a coating project.

  1. 1

    Get a professional evaluation

    Have the roof's current condition properly assessed — surface, seams, penetrations, drainage and the insulation below. Some manufacturers, Gaco included, will send a technical team for a free roof evaluation report. A coating over wet insulation traps the problem instead of solving it.

  2. 2

    Confirm the products are UL or FM approved

    Ask for the product data sheet, not a brochure. GacoFlex S4200 carries industry-leading fire performance in approvals, and those approvals are what an insurer and a plans examiner will want to see.

  3. 3

    Use a manufacturer-licensed contractor

    Coating warranties are only valid when the system is installed by a trained applicator licensed through the manufacturer's network, to the specified thickness. Verify the license before you sign anything.
