Roof Restoration & Coatings

The two primary factors are substrate condition and moisture saturation. If your roof deck is structurally sound and less than 25% of the insulation is moisture-saturated, restoration is typically viable. We perform an infrared scan to map moisture distribution across the entire roof before making any recommendation. If restoration isn't appropriate, we will tell you clearly, and explain exactly why, rather than sell you a coating that won't perform.

Silicone coatings excel in ponding water resistance and UV stability, they don't chalk, crack, or degrade in standing water the way other coatings can. They're the preferred specification for flat roofs with drainage issues. Urethane coatings offer superior abrasion and puncture resistance, making them the better choice for roofs with heavy foot traffic or rooftop mechanical equipment. Both systems are applied as base coat plus finish coat and renew your manufacturer warranty for 10 to 20 years.

GACO-authorized silicone and urethane coating systems carry manufacturer warranties of 10 to 20 years when applied by an authorized contractor to a qualifying substrate. The restoration process includes surface preparation, seam repair, and penetration sealing before coating, the quality of that prep work is what determines real-world longevity. Seal Top is a GACO authorized applicator, which means your warranty is issued and backed by the manufacturer.

Not if done correctly. Many manufacturer warranty programs include approved restoration systems that extend the original warranty term. We review your existing warranty documentation before specifying a restoration system and confirm compatibility. In cases where the original warranty has expired, restoration establishes a new manufacturer warranty on the coating system itself. We provide full warranty documentation at project closeout registered in the building owner's name.

Restoration eliminates the most expensive components of a full replacement: tear-off labor, insulation disposal, landfill fees, structural exposure risk, and extended downtime. Every Seal Top restoration proposal includes a side-by-side scope comparison, what's covered under restoration versus replacement, so ownership and finance teams can make an informed capital decision based on documented condition data, not contractor opinion.
