Silicone Roof Coating
Silicone Roof Coating: Stop Ponding Water and Leaks Without a Full Tear-Off
If your flat or low-slope roof is under 15 years old but leaking, ponding, or losing its reflectivity, a full tear-off usually isn’t the answer. A silicone roof coating seals, waterproofs and restores it for a fraction of the cost of a replacement.

ROOF COATING EXPERTISE
CERTIFIED SILICONE ROOF COATINGS
Primmer Roofing is a PM Certified Installer for 100% silicone roof coatings, a distinction that requires manufacturer training most residential roofers in Tampa Bay haven’t completed. Most companies offering silicone coatings in this market focus on commercial buildings. We apply the same system to homes as well.
Why silicone specifically:
- It’s the only major roof coating that holds up under standing water. Florida’s flat roofs pond after almost every heavy rain, and acrylic coatings break down where silicone doesn’t.
- It reflects UV and heat, which takes real pressure off an AC system running through a Tampa summer.
- It's flexible enough to expand and contract with temperature swings without cracking. That's a real problem for rigid coatings during Florida's daily heat cycles.
- One properly applied coat can add 10-15+ years of protection to an existing roof, without the cost or disruption of a tear-off.
Who this is for
- Commercial Buildings
- Flat and Low-Slope Roofs
- Additions
- Garages
- Florida Ranch-Style Homes
If the decking underneath is compromised, coating isn't the right fix, and we'll tell you that during the inspection.
Common Questions
Silicone Roof Coating FAQ
Is silicone roof coating better than acrylic?
How long does a silicone roof coating last?
A properly applied silicone system typically adds 10-15+ years of protection, depending on the substrate and existing roof condition.
Can silicone coating be applied over an existing roof?
In most cases, yes. That’s the appeal. It’s applied directly over a sound existing flat or low-slope roof without a tear-off, which is why it costs significantly less than full replacement.
Does silicone coating work on residential roofs, or just commercial buildings?
Both. Most Tampa Bay silicone coating companies focus almost entirely on commercial buildings. We apply the same PM Certified system to residential flat and low-slope roofs.
How do I know if coating is right for my roof instead of a replacement?
It comes down to what’s under the surface. If the decking and structure are sound and the damage is on the surface (cracking, ponding, UV wear), coating is usually the smarter, cheaper fix. We’ll tell you honestly during a free inspection if your roof needs more than that.
