Restoring older commercial roofs in Gainesville
Florida Coating Pros restores aging commercial roofs in Gainesville, FL with fluid-applied silicone and rubber (EPDM) coating systems installed over the existing roof — typically at 30–50% of the cost of a tear-off and replacement.
What ages a roof here: High humidity with long stretches of direct sun. That is the force working on every commercial roof in Gainesville, and it decides which coating system a building actually qualifies for.
What we work on: Campus-adjacent institutional buildings, medical offices and older retail. Most of the roofs we restore in this market are between fifteen and thirty years old — old enough that the original membrane is failing, young enough that the deck underneath is still sound.
That gap is the whole opportunity. An older commercial building does not need a new roof as often as it is told it does. If the deck is structurally sound and the insulation is dry, a restoration coating resets the roof's service life for a fraction of replacement cost — and can be renewed again at the end of the warranty term instead of being torn off.

Gainesville questions
Roof coating in Gainesville, answered
More general questions are covered on the main FAQ.
Yes. Florida Coating Pros serves commercial and industrial property throughout Gainesville and Alachua County, working from our Jacksonville base (~70 miles southwest). We install silicone and rubber (EPDM) restoration systems on flat, low-slope and metal roofs, and the inspection is free.
High humidity with long stretches of direct sun is the dominant force on roofs here. In practice that shows up as built-up and epdm roofs on buildings held through decades of deferred capital, and on older buildings it is usually the detail work — seams, flashings and penetrations — that gives way before the field of the membrane does.
Usually yes. Age alone does not disqualify a roof — the deciding factors are whether the structural deck is sound and whether the insulation beneath the membrane is dry. Most roofs we restore in Gainesville are between fifteen and thirty years old. A free inspection confirms which side of that line a specific building falls on, in writing.
Restoration generally runs 30–50% of what a comparable tear-off and re-roof would cost in the Gainesville market. The price for a specific roof depends on square footage, the substrate, how much seam and flashing repair is needed first, and the warranty term and coating thickness specified. We put an exact figure in writing after a free on-site inspection.
