A roof coating is not paint. It is a continuous membrane applied as liquid over a roof whose bones are still good. Silicone tolerates ponding water; acrylics cost less and suit well-drained roofs. The qualifier never changes in Dallas: coatings restore dry, sound assemblies, so the moisture survey comes first, and buildings that fail it need repair before anything gets sprayed. The survey feeds a free written estimate, with photos documenting the condition we found. We never waive a deductible (Texas law), and we are not a public adjuster.
When a Coating Makes Sense on a Dallas Roof
Coatings work when the roof underneath is sound, and in Dallas that means checking what hail has already done. The city has recorded 77 inch-plus hail days since 2006 within 13 miles, including 25 at golf-ball size, and the biggest stone reached 4.25 inches on May 24, 2011. Coating over bruised membrane or wet insulation only hides a problem, which is why the survey is not optional here. Age matters too. The median year built for Dallas housing is 1981, and many older roofs in the city have been patched more than once, so we map drainage and ponding before choosing between silicone and acrylic. A roof that passes the survey can often be restored rather than torn off. Dallas County owners in University Park and Cockrell Hill work with the same crews and the same survey-first process.
