Omaha Silicone Roof Coating Contractor

Silicone collects dirt, which dulls its bright finish over time, and wet silicone is slick to walk on. Most products will not stick to cured silicone, so every later recoat is silicone too. Walk pads near equipment cut wear from foot traffic.

One or two, set by the maker's dry mil spec. High-solids silicone builds thickness fast, and a second pass covers pinholes on ribbed panels. Laps and screws get a detail coat before either pass.

Film thickness and prep set it. Thicker builds earn longer service terms from makers, and silicone stands up to ponding well. Dirt, foot traffic, and unrepaired hail damage cut that life, so walk the roof yearly.

It plans within about $2.50 to $4.00 per square foot. Prep, drain repairs, the specified thickness, and coat count place your roof in that range. Silicone often needs fewer passes, which offsets its higher price per gallon.

Better than most water-based coatings. Silicone resists breakdown under standing water, which is why it goes on low-slope roofs and near drains. We still fix the clogged drain or sagging deck that caused the pond.

Often, after an adhesion test. Acrylic that is peeling where water ponds comes off first, and firm acrylic gets cleaned and primed with the product the silicone maker lists. We test small patches on your roof and wait for the results before ordering material.

Wet silicone is slick, and a dirty silicone surface can be too. Walkway pads from the roof hatch to each rooftop unit give technicians a safer path and cut wear on the coating where boots land most.

Box gutters on metal buildings hold water and debris, which wears water-based coatings fast. Silicone with fabric at the gutter laps handles that standing water once the outlets are cleared and any rusted gutter bottoms are patched with new metal.
