What we do

-
Roof Coating Assessment
A coating only works on a roof that is still sound. NB Roofs inspects the roof surface, seams, flashing and drainage, looks for wet or damaged areas, and tells you whether a coating, a repair or a replacement is the right fit.
- Roof surface and seams checked
- Drainage and ponding checked
- Clear advice on coating vs replacement
-
Surface Prep and Repairs
Before any coating goes on, the roof is cleaned and problem areas are repaired: open seams, damaged flashing, blisters, cracks and wet or damaged sections. A coating seals the surface, so it has to go on over a clean, dry and sound roof.
- Roof surface cleaned
- Seams, flashing and damaged areas repaired
- Drains and gutters cleared
-
Roof Coating Application
The coating is applied in the thickness and number of coats the manufacturer specifies, with extra attention at seams, flashing and roof penetrations. The result is a continuous, seamless layer over the roof surface.
- Applied to the manufacturer's specifications
- Seams and penetrations detailed
- Final inspection and cleanup
What your roof assessment checks
- Roof surface: cracks, blisters, open seams and worn areas.
- Moisture: wet or soft areas underneath, which need repair before coating.
- Drainage: ponding water, low spots, and clogged drains or gutters.

Roof coating basics
What is a roof coating?
A roof coating is a liquid-applied layer, rolled or sprayed onto an existing roof, that cures into a seamless, flexible membrane. It seals the roof surface and protects it from sun and water. Roof coatings are most common on flat and low-slope roofs and on metal roofs, and they go over a roof that is still sound.
Elastomeric coatings
The broad family of roof coatings that stretch and recover as the roof heats and cools, so they move with the roof instead of cracking.
Silicone coatings
A common choice for flat and low-slope roofs because silicone holds up well where water sits after rain.
Acrylic coatings
Water-based coatings, often bright white, used on roofs that drain well, including many metal roofs.
Reflective (white) coatings
Light-colored coatings reflect more sunlight than dark roof surfaces, which keeps the roof surface cooler in strong sun.
Coat or replace?
Roof coating vs roof replacement: which do you need?
A roof coating fits a roof that is still sound: dry underneath, with damage limited to areas that can be repaired first. A roof replacement fits a roof that is worn out, wet underneath, or leaking in many places. A coating usually costs less up front and does not need a tear-off, but it cannot fix a failing roof.
| Factor | Roof coating | Roof replacement |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A liquid-applied layer over the existing roof | A new roof system from the deck up |
| Best for | A sound roof that is dry underneath | A worn-out roof, wet insulation or decking, or leaks in many places |
| Tear-off | No tear-off | Old roof removed down to the deck |
| Upfront cost | Usually lower | Usually higher |
| First step | A roof inspection, because the roof's condition decides which option fits | |

Good fit or not
Is my roof a good candidate for a roof coating?
A roof is usually a good candidate for a coating when it is structurally sound, dry underneath, and has only limited problems such as small cracks, worn spots or a few open seams that can be repaired first. A roof with widespread damage, wet insulation or decking, or leaks in many places usually needs repair or replacement instead.
Usually a good candidate
- A flat, low-slope or metal roof in sound condition
- Dry insulation and decking underneath
- Small cracks, worn spots or a few open seams
- Surface aging from years of sun
Usually needs repair or replacement first
- Wet or soft insulation or decking
- Leaks in many parts of the building
- Widespread blistering, splitting or loose membrane
- Large areas of ponding water from low spots or poor drainage
- Rusted-through or loose metal panels

Our process
How does NB Roofs apply a roof coating?
A roof coating with NB Roofs follows six steps, from the first roof inspection to the final check and cleanup.
Inspect the roof
NB Roofs checks the surface, seams, flashing and drainage, and looks for wet or damaged areas underneath.
Recommend a system
You hear whether a coating fits your roof and which coating system suits it, with upfront pricing before work starts.
Clean the roof
The roof surface is cleaned of dirt, debris and loose material so the coating can bond.
Repair problem areas
Open seams, damaged flashing, cracks, blisters and wet or damaged sections are repaired before coating.
Apply the coating
The coating goes on in the thickness and coats the manufacturer specifies, with extra detail at seams and penetrations.
Inspect and clean up
A final inspection checks the coverage, and the crew cleans up the site.
Built for Central Florida
How does Central Florida weather affect a roof coating?
Central Florida weather puts a roof coating through strong sun, heavy summer rain, high humidity and hurricane season. That makes the coating type, a clean and dry roof surface at application, and good drainage important for roof coatings in The Villages and Leesburg, along with checking the roof after major storms.
Sun and heat
Strong sun ages roof surfaces over time. Light-colored, reflective coatings reflect more sunlight than dark roof surfaces.
Rain, ponding and humidity
Water that sits on a flat roof after rain affects which coating fits, and a coating has to go on over a clean, dry surface in the right weather.
Hurricane season
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, according to the National Hurricane Center. A roof check after major storms catches damage to the coating or the roof underneath.

Questions
Roof Coating FAQs for The Villages Property Owners
-
Is a roof coating worth it?
A roof coating can be worth it when the roof is still sound and dry underneath, because it seals and protects the existing roof without a tear-off. It is not worth it on a roof that is worn out, wet underneath or leaking in many places. NB Roofs inspects the roof first and tells you which option fits.
-
How long does a roof coating last?
How long a roof coating lasts depends on the coating type, how thick it is applied, the condition of the roof underneath, drainage and sun exposure. Each manufacturer publishes the expected life and warranty for its coating system, and NB Roofs goes over those for the product recommended for your roof.
-
Can you coat a flat roof with ponding water?
Ponding water affects which coating can be used and whether the roof is ready for one. Some coatings, such as silicone, are made to handle water that sits after rain, but large or recurring ponds usually point to low spots or drainage problems that should be fixed before coating.
-
Silicone or acrylic roof coating: which is better in Florida?
Neither is better for every roof. Silicone coatings are a common choice for flat and low-slope roofs where water can sit after rain. Acrylic coatings are water-based, often bright white, and used on roofs that drain well, including many metal roofs. The right choice depends on your roof material, drainage and condition.
-
Does a roof coating stop roof leaks?
A roof coating seals the roof surface, but it is not a fix for an active leak on its own. The source of the leak has to be found and repaired first, including any wet insulation or decking, and then the coating goes on over the repaired roof. See roof leak repair.
-
How much does a roof coating cost?
The cost of a roof coating depends on the roof's size and condition, the repairs needed before coating, the coating system, how many coats and how thick it is applied, and roof access and details. NB Roofs inspects the roof first and gives upfront pricing before any work starts.
