How to Install Roof Coating in 3 Easy Steps

Are you tired of your Brighton home’s roof looking a bit worse for wear? Have you been trying to figure out how to fix it up without breaking the bank? Look no further than roof coating.

Installing roof coating is an economical way to extend the life of your roof, and it can be applied in three simple steps.

So grab your ladder and read on for our guide to installing roof coating like a boss – it’ll have your home looking roof-sational in no time!

What is Roof Coating?

Roof coatings are an essential defense against wear and tear caused by Brighton’s roughest weather conditions. Made of silicone, acrylic, or urethane, these coatings reflect heat away from your roof, and protect against leaks and other damage.

Unlike traditional paint, roof coatings are thicker and contain a higher solids content, making them more durable. White silicone coatings are particularly popular due to their excellent weather resistance, cooling properties, and longevity.

Looking to refresh your older roof without emptying your wallet? Look no further than Vital Coat’s Shingle Shield – it’ll get the job done quickly and affordably.

Step 1: Clean the Roof

Before applying the coating, it’s crucial to ensure the surface of your roof is clean and free of debris. Start by cleaning the roof using a pressure washer or a hose and push broom.

Be careful not to damage the roof.

Once it’s clean, allow the roof to dry completely before proceeding with the coating application.

In fact, there’s one thing you’ll want to keep in mind: The roof needs to be completely dry when you apply the coating, so make sure you schedule the process on a day without rain.

Step 2: Apply the Coating

As long as your roof doesn’t have serious cracks or tears, you can apply the coating to it once it’s dried. Use a long paint roller or brush to spread the coating onto the roof. You may want to do it in sections to ensure a nice, even coat.

Remember, a successful roofing project requires that you follow proper practices, not just with regards to technique, but also safety.

If you have any doubts at all, reach out to the professionals, such as The Roof Company. We handle jobs like this all the time, and we do it with safety and professionalism.

We believe in treating people (and their homes) with care – that’s what distinguishes us from our competitors.

Step 3: Let It Dry

Once your roof is completely coated, you just need to let it dry and cure.

The curing time will depend on the product as well as Brighton’s weather conditions. If it’s a humid day, or there’s dew about, drying time may be lengthened. However, if the temperature is hot and dry, the coating will cure much quicker.

Generally speaking, though, roof coatings take anywhere between 8 and 24 hours to thoroughly dry.

Revamp Your Roof

So there you go! What began as an eyesore can now become a roof-tastic sight to behold, requiring just a few simple steps that will increase your home’s curb appeal.
