Who We Are

Queens' Roof Restoration Specialists

A reflective roof coating is the cheapest protection a Queens building owner can put down, and skipping it usually means paying for a full tear-off later. Most of the roofs we walk out here are flat or low-slope: the tar and gravel on top of an Astoria row house, the aging rubber on a small storefront in Sunnyside, the built-up roof over a Jackson Heights multi-family. They bake all summer, the sun cooks the membrane until it cracks, and water starts to sit in the low spots. Instead of ripping all that off, we clean and prep the existing roof, rebuild the seams and flashings, and roll or spray a seamless, fluid-applied membrane right over the top, whether silicone, acrylic, or elastomeric, that stops the leaks and locks the water out. It bonds over EPDM, TPO, modified bitumen, built-up, and metal.

Ponding water is the number-one thing that quietly kills flat roofs in Queens. A lot of these older roofs were never pitched quite right, so after a rain you get puddles that just sit there and work the seams open. That's exactly the case for silicone, which doesn't care if water stands on it; acrylic is the brighter, more economical pick when a roof actually drains, and elastomeric is what we reach for to bridge the cracks and moving seams first. Coating is the most underrated money-saver in this whole trade. People assume a leaking flat roof means a five-figure replacement, when a lot of the time the deck underneath is perfectly sound and just needs a new skin over it for a fraction of the price. We'll always tell you straight, though: when a roof is soaked through or the deck is failing, no coating is going to save it, and we'd rather lose the sale than sell you a patch over a rotten roof.

Our Process

Our Roof Coating Process

1

Free Roof Assessment

We inspect the roof, check for ponding and failed seams, and tell you honestly whether it's a candidate to coat.

2

Clean & Prep

This is the step everybody wants to rush, and it's the one we won't. We power-wash off years of Queens grime, chalking, and loose gravel, then let the roof dry all the way out, because a coating is only ever as good as what it's sticking to. We've seen too many bargain jobs peel because someone coated over a dirty, damp roof.

3

Repair & Reinforce

We seal seams, flashings, and penetrations and reinforce them with polyester fabric, then prime as needed.

4

Coat & Warranty

We apply the base and top coats to spec and register your manufacturer warranty.

Reviews

What Our Queens Neighbors Say

★★★★★
We chased leaks on our Astoria building for two years and every roofer just wanted to tear the whole thing off. These guys did a silicone coating instead. First heavy rain after, I went up expecting puddles inside and there was nothing. Should've called them first.
Michael R. · July 2026
★★★★★
Had three replacement quotes, all way more than I wanted to spend. They coated it for a little over half that. Crew showed up when they said, kept the place clean, off the roof in two days. Bonus, the AC isn't running as hard now.
Sarah J. · June 2026
★★★★
What I liked is they didn't push. Guy got up there, said my deck was fine and I just needed the seams sealed and an elastomeric coat, not a new roof. Took a couple extra days to line up around the weather but the work's held up. No leaks so far.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does flat roof coating cost in Queens?
Coating is priced per square foot, so the real answer is that it depends, mostly on how big the roof is, how beat-up it is, and which system it needs. As a rough guide, a straightforward acrylic recoat tends to land somewhere around $3–$5 per square foot, and a heavier-duty silicone system over a rough or ponding roof runs more like $5–$8 per square foot once you factor in the prep, seam reinforcement, and extra coats. The condition is the wild card: a roof that needs a lot of seam work and a fabric-reinforced base coat costs more than a clean roof that just needs a fresh skin. You'll get a real number after we get up there and inspect the roof, but even on the high end it's usually about half of what a full tear-off and replacement would run, which is the whole point.
How long does a roof coating last?
A properly installed silicone or acrylic system typically extends a roof's life by 10 to 20 years and comes with a manufacturer warranty. A quick recoat down the road can renew that warranty and keep the roof going even longer.
Can you coat a roof that has ponding water?
Yes. Silicone is specifically formulated to handle ponding water and won't degrade where water sits, which is why we recommend it for roofs with drainage issues. Acrylic is better suited to sloped or well-draining roofs.
Should I coat my roof or just replace it?
If the deck underneath is dry and structurally sound and you're mainly fighting leaks, sun damage, or ponding at the seams, coating is almost always the smarter money. It buys you 10 to 20 more years for a fraction of the cost, with no tear-off and no dumpster in the driveway. But if the deck is wet, rotted, or sagging, or the roof has been leaking so long the insulation is soaked, then a coating is just lipstick on a bad roof. That's a replacement, and we'll tell you so even though it's not the job we'd rather sell. We coat EPDM rubber, TPO, modified bitumen, built-up tar-and-gravel, and metal, but only when it'll actually last.
Will coating my roof lower my energy bills?
A reflective 'cool roof' coating can reflect up to about 85% of the sun's energy, lowering rooftop temperatures and easing the cooling load on hot Queens summer days, and many buildings see a real drop in AC costs.
How disruptive is the installation?
Very little. Coatings go on over your existing roof in a matter of days with no tear-off, no dumpster, and no interior work, so your home or business keeps running the whole time.
