Silicone Roof Coating in Connecticut

A silicone roof coating is a seamless, liquid-applied membrane that goes directly over your existing flat or low-slope roof. It stops leaks, reflects heat, and holds up to standing water, without the cost and disruption of a tear-off.

Why silicone?

  • Handles ponding water. Silicone resists the standing water that is common on flat roofs in Connecticut and New England.
  • Seamless. Once cured there are no seams or laps for water to get into.
  • UV stable and reflective. Silicone stays flexible in the sun and reflects heat, which helps keep the building cooler in summer.
  • Long warranties. Depending on the system and thickness, silicone restorations can carry manufacturer leak warranties up to 20 years and material warranties up to 50 years.
  • Renewable. At the end of its service life, a silicone roof can often be cleaned and recoated instead of torn off.

Roofs we coat with silicone

Silicone works over most commercial roof types, including EPDM, TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, and built-up roofs, as well as metal roofs. The key requirement is a solid deck and dry insulation. During our free assessment we check for wet insulation and tell you what has to be replaced before coating.

How a silicone restoration is installed

  1. Inspect the roof and identify wet insulation and problem areas.
  2. Replace wet areas and repair seams, flashings, drains and penetrations.
  3. Clean the roof surface and apply primer where the manufacturer requires it.
  4. Reinforce seams and details, then apply silicone at the specified thickness.
  5. Final inspection and manufacturer warranty registration where applicable.

Many jobs can be completed in a few days while the building stays open.

Silicone systems we install

We install silicone and other coating systems from manufacturers including GAF, Gaco, APOC, Henry and Lucas, and recommend the system that fits your roof and budget.

Helping bring cool-roof rebates to Connecticut. Our team helped bring cool-roof rebates to Connecticut, presenting reflective roof restoration to the state's Energy Efficiency Board in 2011. Ask us whether your building may qualify for a utility rebate.
