A two-coat high-solids silicone system applied at ~25 mil DFT over your existing flat or low-slope roof. Cuts the cost of a full tear-off roughly in half, eliminates landfill disposal, keeps tenants in place, and ships with a registered manufacturer NDL (No Dollar Limit) warranty for 15 or 20 years.

Once cured, the silicone forms a single, seamless, fully-adhered watertight membrane bonded to the existing roof. It reflects UV (silicone is one of the highest-reflectance roofing surfaces available), it handles ponding water without breaking down (silicones are inherently hydrophobic), and unlike acrylic coatings, it does not chalk or wash off in heavy rain.
For a typical Denver commercial roof in coatable condition (sound deck, repairable defects, no widespread saturation), restoration is meaningfully cheaper than tear-off and re-roof — and the warranty terms compete directly.
| Factor | Silicone Restoration | Tear-Off & Re-Roof |
|---|---|---|
| Typical Denver pricing (2026) | $5–$7/SF | $10–$15/SF |
| Manufacturer warranty | 15 or 20 yr NDL | 15 or 20 yr NDL |
| Disposal / landfill | Minimal — only repaired sections | Full roof to landfill (high tipping fee) |
| Tenant disruption | Minimal — coating is non-invasive | Significant — noise, debris, exposed deck |
| Schedule | 2–3 weeks typical | 4–8 weeks typical |
| When it’s the right call | Sound deck, repairable defects, <15% wet insulation | Compromised deck, widespread saturation, structural damage |
The cases where tear-off is the right call: structural deck damage, more than ~15% wet insulation, or a roof that’s already been recoated to the maximum warrantable thickness. Our IR moisture scan tells us exactly which scenario your roof is in — before you commit either way.
A silicone restoration is not the right answer for every roof. We will not coat:
If the IR scan or field assessment shows your roof isn’t a candidate for restoration, we tell you that directly — and refer you to a tear-off contractor. We don’t bid jobs we don’t believe in.
We’ll walk your roof, run the IR scan, and tell you honestly whether silicone restoration makes sense for your property. No high-pressure sales, no obligation.
