Reflective Elastomeric
Acrylic
White acrylic coatings can add reflectivity and flexible weather protection over compatible, properly prepared roof surfaces.

Roof Coatings
A properly selected coating can restore a compatible roof surface, improve reflectivity, and add seamless protection around the details that matter most.
Coating starts with roof condition.
Restore, Don’t Simply Cover
The roof has to qualify first.
A coating is not a shortcut for a failed roof. Highmark begins by evaluating the existing substrate, drainage, seams, flashings, penetrations, moisture concerns, repairs, and adhesion requirements.
When the roof is a good candidate, the right coating system can create a continuous protective surface and help extend service life without immediately replacing the entire assembly.

Coating Families
The chemistry should match the roof.
Different coating types solve different exposure, substrate, drainage, and performance needs. Highmark helps narrow the system after inspecting the property.
Moisture-Curing Rubber
Silicone
Silicone systems provide seamless waterproof protection and may be selected where UV exposure and ponding-water performance are important considerations.
Metallic Reflective Finish
Aluminum
Fibered aluminum coatings can reduce solar exposure and add a reflective protective finish to compatible asphalt-based roof surfaces.
Highmark’s Process
Preparation determines performance.
The finished coating may look simple, but the work before application is what gives the system a fair chance to perform.
Inspect
Document the roof, drainage, defects, substrate, and areas that require testing or repair.
Prepare
Clean the surface and address seams, cracks, flashings, fasteners, and penetrations.
Apply
Install compatible base and finish coats at the specified coverage and thickness.
Verify
Review coverage, details, transitions, cure conditions, and the completed roof surface.
A Practical Option, Not a Universal Fix
Where coatings can make sense.
Existing commercial or residential low-slope assemblies that remain structurally and functionally suitable for restoration.
Properly prepared metal roofs where seams, fasteners, oxidation, and transitions can be addressed as part of a coating system.
Projects seeking a lighter, more reflective finished surface to reduce solar heat gain at the roof.
Roofs where condition, moisture findings, adhesion testing, and manufacturer requirements support restoration rather than immediate replacement.
Coating suitability, preparation, primers, reinforcement, coverage rates, cure conditions, warranties, and maintenance requirements vary by substrate and current manufacturer specifications. Highmark confirms the system for each project.
Start With an Inspection
Find out whether your roof is ready for restoration.
Highmark Roofing Partners can evaluate the existing roof, explain the viable options, and recommend coating, repair, or replacement based on the building’s actual condition.
