How to Install a Silicone Roof Coating: Step-by-Step Guide

Thinking about restoring your flat or low-slope roof without tearing it off? A silicone roof coating system could be the solution you’re looking for. In this video, we take you through the entire installation process, explaining each step and why it matters. Here’s what we cover: How to properly clean and prep the surface Every successful coating job starts with surface prep. We’ll show you what that really involves — from pressure washing to repairing problem areas. When and why to use a base coat or primer Not all roofs need a primer, but some absolutely do. We explain how to determine whether your existing roof system requires one. How the silicone is applied We walk through the application of the silicone coating itself — including coverage rates, thickness, and cure time — to ensure a watertight, long-lasting finish. Silicone coatings are highly effective on flat roofing systems like modified bitumen, TPO, EPDM, and built-up roofs. They provide strong UV protection, resist ponding water, and can significantly extend the life of your roof — all without the disruption and expense of a full replacement. However, not every roof is a good candidate. That’s why a professional inspection is essential. We’ll explain what to look for and when restoration is a viable option. Whether you're a building owner, property manager, or just exploring your options, this video will help you understand the process and benefits of silicone roof coatings so you can make an informed decision.
