Professional Silicone Roof Coating Contractors
At Heritage Roofing & Repair, we specialize in installing high-performance silicone roof coatings that protect and extend the lifespan of commercial and residential flat roofs. Unlike traditional replacement methods, silicone roof coatings provide a seamless, waterproof barrier that shields against UV rays, heavy rain, and ponding water, common challenges in Arkansas’s roofing environment.
Harrison, AR averages 49 inches of rain annually, well above the national average of 38 inches. When paired with summer temperatures exceeding 90°F for extended weeks, roofs in Boone County face constant stress. Silicone coatings are uniquely suited to handle these extremes, offering durability and long-term cost savings.
What is Silicone Roof Coating?
A silicone roof coating is a liquid-applied material that cures into a flexible, rubber-like membrane over the existing roof surface. Unlike acrylic or elastomeric coatings, silicone is naturally waterproof and resists ponding water, making it the industry’s go-to solution for flat and low-slope roofs.
Silicone roof coatings create a monolithic layer that eliminates weak points such as seams and fasteners. This not only prevents leaks but also reduces the need for costly tear-offs. Because they bond to multiple substrates, including metal, modified bitumen, TPO, and concrete decks, they are a versatile solution for both commercial and residential structures in Arkansas.
Fact: Silicone coatings are proven to reduce rooftop temperatures by 50–60°F, which helps cut indoor cooling loads by up to 30%, according to the Cool Roof Rating Council.

Benefits of Silicone Roof Coating
Silicone roof coatings provide a unique combination of performance, efficiency, and cost savings that few other roofing systems can match.
Waterproof Protection
Unlike acrylic coatings that may soften under standing water, silicone is inherently hydrophobic. This means it repels water at the molecular level, ensuring long-term resistance to leaks even when ponding occurs after heavy rain. In regions like Harrison, where torrential storms are frequent, this property is a major advantage.
Energy Efficiency
Silicone coatings are highly reflective, preventing heat buildup on the roof surface. By reflecting up to 90% of UV rays, they lower rooftop surface temperatures dramatically. This translates to real savings: the U.S. Department of Energy notes that reflective roofing systems can reduce cooling energy demand by 10–30% annually.
Extended Roof Lifespan
When applied properly, a silicone roof coating can extend the life of an existing roof by 10–20 years. For building owners, this delays costly replacements while maintaining structural integrity.
Cost-Effectiveness
Installing a silicone coating costs $2–$4 per square foot, far less than the $6–$12 per square foot typically required for a full roof replacement. Beyond upfront savings, the reduction in energy consumption and maintenance costs increases ROI.
Environmentally Friendly
Because coatings can be applied directly over existing systems, they reduce landfill waste generated by roof tear-offs. Silicone products are also free from many harmful solvents, aligning with sustainable building practices.
Maintenance for Silicone Roof Coatings
Silicone coatings are low-maintenance but benefit from routine care to maximize lifespan:
- Regular Inspections – Schedule roof inspections twice yearly to check coating thickness and surface integrity.
- Cleaning – Dirt buildup can reduce reflectivity. Periodic cleaning restores energy performance.
- Recoating – After 10–15 years, additional layers may be applied to refresh waterproofing and UV protection.
Fact: NRCA studies show buildings with proactive roof maintenance programs extend coating effectiveness by 20–25%, reducing lifecycle costs significantly.
Our Silicone Roof Coating Installation Process
At Heritage Roofing & Repair, we follow a meticulous installation process to ensure maximum performance and durability.
- Roof Evaluation
Every project begins with a detailed roof inspection to assess substrate condition, drainage, and existing materials. This step identifies whether a silicone system is the right solution. - Surface Preparation
Roofs are pressure-washed to remove dirt, oils, and contaminants. For certain substrates, primers or seam tape may be applied to ensure adhesion. - Repair and Reinforcement
Small cracks, flashing details, and weak areas are repaired before coating. This ensures a uniform surface and prevents failures beneath the coating. - Silicone Application
High-solids silicone is sprayed or rolled onto the roof surface in one or two layers, depending on the manufacturer’s specifications. Thickness is carefully monitored to provide complete coverage and durability. - Final Quality Check
Our silicone roof coating experts verify adhesion, thickness, and waterproofing performance before finalizing the project. Manufacturer warranties are registered upon completion.
Fact: A properly applied silicone system can add an average of 15 years of life to an existing roof while maintaining reflectivity for decades without frequent reapplication. For contractor safety, OSHA roofing safety guidelines set national standards for proper handling and installation of coating systems.
Ideal Roof Types for Silicone Coatings
Silicone roof coatings can be applied to a variety of substrates, making them a flexible solution for both residential and commercial needs in Arkansas.
- Metal Roofs – Seals rusted panels, seams, and fasteners, preventing leaks and extending life.
- Single-Ply Membranes (TPO/EPDM) – Restores aging membranes without costly replacement.
- Modified Bitumen & BUR Roofs – Adds UV and ponding resistance to older asphalt-based systems.
- Concrete Roof Decks – Provides a smooth, reflective barrier to protect porous concrete surfaces.
Each application reduces heat gain and strengthens waterproofing, making it an excellent option for flat and low-slope roof structures.
Silicone Roof Coating vs. Other Roof Coating Options
Coating Type | Average Lifespan | Water Resistance | UV/Reflectivity | Cost (per sq. ft.) | Best Use Case |
Silicone Coating | 10–20 years | Excellent – fully resists ponding water | Very High (reflects up to 90% of UV rays) | $2–$4 | Flat and low-slope roofs in wet, storm-prone climates |
Acrylic Coating | 5–10 years | Fair – not suitable for ponding water | High (70–80%) | $1.50–$3 | Sloped roofs, dry climates with less rainfall |
Elastomeric Coating | 8–12 years | Good – flexible but less ponding resistance | Moderate (60–70%) | $2–$4 | Older roofs needing flexibility and UV resistance |
Polyurethane Coating | 10–15 years | Very Good – tough and impact resistant | Moderate (55–65%) | $3–$5 | High-traffic rooftops, industrial or commercial settings |
Cost of Silicone Roof Coating
The cost of silicone roof coating systems varies depending on roof size, prep work, and number of coats.
- National Average Cost: $2–$4 per sq. ft.
- Full Replacement Alternative: $6–$12 per sq. ft.
- ROI Advantage: Energy savings + longer lifespan often make coatings the most cost-effective option.
