Silicone roof coatings create a seamless waterproof barrier that extends your existing roof's life by 10-20 years while reflecting solar heat and meeting Title 24 energy requirements.
Bakersfield Expert Roofing offers professional silicone roof coating in Bakersfield, CA with over 20 years of experience handling residential and commercial roofing projects.
Silicone coatings are applied directly over existing commercial and flat roofing systems — TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, metal, and built-up assemblies — eliminating the cost and disruption of full tear-off replacement. The cured membrane forms a monolithic, UV-stable barrier with zero seams or joints where water can penetrate. Silicone maintains its flexibility across the full temperature range Kern County roofs experience, and its reflective white surface reduces rooftop temperatures by 50-60 degrees compared to dark substrates.
Silicone coatings bond directly to your current roof surface, creating a continuous waterproof membrane with no seams, laps, or mechanical fasteners. This eliminates the most common leak sources while avoiding the waste, cost, and business disruption of a complete roof replacement.
STEP 1
We assess your existing roof membrane for adhesion compatibility, repair any punctures or open seams, and power-wash the entire surface to remove dirt, oils, and oxidation that would prevent proper coating adhesion.
STEP 2
A primer coat is applied where substrate conditions require it. Polyester reinforcing fabric is embedded at penetrations, transitions, and any repaired areas to bridge gaps and provide additional tensile strength.
STEP 3
The silicone coating is spray-applied or roller-applied at manufacturer-specified mil thickness, verified with wet film gauges at regular intervals. A minimum of two coats ensures uniform coverage and meets warranty thickness requirements.
Unlike acrylic and elastomeric coatings that degrade in standing water, silicone maintains full waterproofing performance even in ponding conditions. This makes it the preferred coating for flat roofs with drainage limitations where water may stand for 48 hours or more after rain events.
Wet film gauge verification during application ensures coating thickness meets manufacturer warranty specifications at every point.
Silicone's ponding water resistance makes it the only coating suitable for flat roofs with drainage limitations.
Reflective white surface reduces rooftop temperatures by 50-60 degrees and meets Title 24 cool roof requirements.
No tear-off required — coating applies directly over existing membranes, reducing project cost by 50-70% compared to full replacement.
It is often effective for extending service life on qualifying low-slope roofs where the substrate is still sound but needs renewed waterproof protection.
We clean the surface, repair seams and penetrations, address wet insulation concerns, and verify adhesion conditions before applying coating at specified thickness.
It can help when properly applied over a repaired substrate, but leak sources must be corrected first. Coating should not be used to mask unresolved failures.
