Membrane Roof Coating System in Colorado Springs, CO
Membrane roof coatings offer a powerful way to extend the life of your existing commercial roof without the cost and disruption of full replacement. Elevation Commercial Roofing applies advanced coating systems that create a seamless, waterproof barrier over your existing membrane — sealing leaks, reflecting UV radiation, and adding years of reliable protection to roofs that still have structural life remaining.
Why Choose Elevation for Membrane Roof Coating System
Cost-Effective Life Extension
Coating an existing membrane roof costs significantly less than replacement while adding 10-20 years of additional service life to roofs that are aging but still structurally sound.
Seamless Waterproofing
Liquid-applied coatings create a monolithic, seamless waterproof layer with no seams or joints to fail — eliminating the most common source of roof leaks.
Energy Efficiency
Reflective white and light-colored coatings reduce roof surface temperatures by up to 80°F, significantly lowering cooling costs in Colorado's intense summer sun.
Zero Tear-Off Required
Coatings are applied directly over the existing membrane, eliminating tear-off labor, disposal costs, and the environmental waste of sending old roofing materials to a landfill.
Service Details
Membrane roof coatings are liquid-applied systems that cure to form a continuous, elastomeric waterproof barrier over your existing roof surface. They're applied by spray, roller, or brush directly onto prepared membrane surfaces including EPDM, TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing.
Our coating process begins with thorough surface preparation — the most critical factor in coating performance. We clean the existing membrane, repair any defects, reinforce seams and penetrations with fabric reinforcement, and ensure the surface is properly primed for coating adhesion.
We offer several coating chemistries based on your roof's specific needs. Acrylic coatings provide excellent UV protection and reflectivity at an economical cost. Silicone coatings offer superior ponding water resistance for roofs with drainage challenges. Urethane coatings provide maximum impact and abrasion resistance for roofs with heavy foot traffic.
The coating is applied in multiple passes to achieve the specified mil thickness, ensuring consistent coverage and performance across the entire roof surface. Fabric reinforcement is embedded at seams, penetrations, and stress points for added durability.
Completed coating systems are inspected for proper thickness, coverage, and adhesion before project closeout. Most coating systems carry a manufacturer warranty of 10-20 years with the option to recoat and extend the warranty when it approaches expiration.

Membrane Roof Coating System — Frequently Asked Questions
What types of membrane roofs can be coated?
Most commercial membrane systems can be coated, including EPDM, TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, built-up roofing (BUR), and metal. The key requirement is that the existing membrane must be structurally sound and properly adhered. We'll assess your roof's suitability during a free inspection.
How long does a membrane roof coating last?
Professionally applied membrane roof coatings typically last 10-20 years depending on the coating chemistry, application thickness, and environmental exposure. In Colorado, silicone coatings tend to perform well due to their UV stability and ponding water resistance. Coatings can also be recoated to extend protection further.
Can a coating be applied over a roof that's already leaking?
The existing leaks must be repaired before the coating is applied. Coatings seal the surface and prevent new leaks from developing, but they can't cure leaks caused by underlying membrane failures, open seams, or failed flashings. We address all existing issues as part of the surface preparation process.
Will a roof coating reduce my energy bills?
Yes. Reflective roof coatings — especially white and light-colored formulations — can reduce roof surface temperatures by up to 80°F on hot days. This directly translates to lower cooling costs, particularly for buildings in Colorado where summer sun is intense at altitude. Many building owners see cooling cost reductions of 10-30%.
