Commercial Roof Coatings in Dallas–Fort Worth
A restoration coating can add years to an aging commercial roof without a tear-off. It only works on the right roof, though, and the most important part of our job is telling you honestly whether yours qualifies.
Ultra Roofing applies acrylic and silicone restoration coatings on commercial roofs across the DFW Metroplex. We hold Karnak Certified Installer and Mule-Hide Certified Installer credentials.
When a Coating Makes Sense
A coating is a restoration, not a repair patch and not a new roof. It's a good fit when:
- The deck and insulation are dry. This is non-negotiable.
- The existing membrane or metal is still attached and structurally sound.
- Drainage is workable. Ponding areas are addressed first, or you choose a product rated for them.
- You want to extend service life and defer the capital cost of a full replacement.
A coating is the wrong choice when the insulation is saturated, the membrane is delaminating across large areas, or the deck is damaged. In those cases a coating traps the problem, and we'll recommend repair or replacement instead.
Silicone vs. Acrylic
Swipe to see all columns
| Silicone | Acrylic | |
|---|---|---|
| Ponding water | Better suited to areas that hold water | Not intended for standing water |
| Reflectivity | High (white) | High (white) |
| Typical use | Low-slope roofs with drainage challenges; single-ply and mod bit | Metal roofs and well-draining low-slope roofs |
| Recoat later | Recoating generally requires silicone | More flexible for future recoats |
| Dirt pickup | Can collect more dirt over time | Tends to stay cleaner |
We pick the product and the manufacturer system for your specific roof. Your written scope names the product, the dry-film thickness target, and the warranty you're buying.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on moisture and adhesion. We evaluate the roof for wet insulation and test how well the existing surface holds before recommending a coating.
Usually. A qualifying roof avoids tear-off, disposal, and new insulation costs. We price both options when both are on the table, so you can compare them.
Manufacturer-backed warranties are available on many coating systems when they are installed by an authorized installer. The term depends on the product, the thickness, and the roof. Your bid names the specific warranty.
Yes. Metal roofs are common coating candidates. We treat fasteners, seams, and rust first.
Coatings are typically quieter and cleaner than a tear-off, and most buildings stay fully operational during the work.
