Is your commercial roof showing signs of aging, minor leaks, or sun damage? A full roof replacement isn’t always the answer. At Custom Exteriors, we provide professional fluid-applied roof coating systems that act as a “renewable” shield for your building.
Whether you have a flat TPO, EPDM, Metal, or Modified Bitumen roof, our coating solutions can extend your roof’s life by 10 to 20 years at a fraction of the cost of a replacement.
We partner with industry leaders like GAF, Advanced Coating Service, and Centimark to provide the highest-grade materials tailored to your specific roof type.
Silicone is the industry standard for flat roofs prone to “ponding water.” Because it is an inorganic, moisture-cure liquid, it will not break down or delaminate even when submerged under standing water. This makes it a permanent solution for TPO, EPDM, and built-up roofs where drainage is an issue. With a high solids content and extreme UV stability, silicone provides a thick, rubberized shield that prevents leaks and protects your commercial roof from the most intense Colorado sun.
Acrylic coatings provide a high-value, breathable membrane perfect for sloped or metal roofing. These systems are highly elastomeric, allowing them to expand and contract alongside metal panels during Northern Colorado’s extreme temperature swings. Known for their superior “Cool Roof” reflectivity, acrylics significantly lower energy costs by bouncing heat away from your facility. They are an economical choice that offers excellent resistance to hail and UV damage while renewing the life of weathered membranes.
Engineered for durability, polyurethane is the best choice for industrial roofs with high foot traffic or heavy HVAC equipment access. These coatings offer the highest level of impact and abrasion resistance, creating a tough surface that handles physical wear better than any other material. Polyurethane is also highly resistant to chemical exposure and stays cleaner over time than silicone, ensuring your roof maintains its professional appearance while providing a rigid, waterproof barrier.
With decades of combined experience, Custom Exteriors is proud to serve as your local Northern Colorado roofing authority. Based in Greeley and serving Colorado communities along the Front Range, we possess a deep understanding of how our region’s unique freeze-thaw cycles impact long-term roof integrity. Our team consists of certified experts skilled in applying industry-leading systems like GAF HydroStop™ and high-solids silicone, ensuring your installation meets strict manufacturer standards to keep your warranty fully intact.
We have built an A+ BBB-rated reputation on a foundation of transparency and elite craftsmanship. This commitment to quality is evident in our comprehensive inspection process; we never “just coat” a surface. Instead, we perform a deep-dive diagnostic to verify that your roof’s insulation is completely dry and the underlying structure is sound. By identifying these critical factors before the application begins, we ensure your building receives a professional-grade restoration that actually lasts.
Quick 30-Second Assessment
Answer: Commercial roof coatings, such as silicone or acrylic systems, provide a seamless, waterproof barrier that stops leaks and extends the life of your existing roof by up to 20 years. They are highly reflective, which can reduce cooling costs by up to 30%, and they cost significantly less than a full roof replacement.
Answer: Yes, if your roof is structurally sound and the insulation is dry, a coating is often a superior alternative to replacement. It eliminates the need for a costly “tear-off,” reduces landfill waste, and can be applied with minimal disruption to your business operations.
Answer: A professionally applied silicone roof coating typically lasts between 10 and 20 years, depending on the thickness of the application. At Custom Exteriors LLC, we offer manufacturer-backed warranties that can be renewed with a simple “re-coat” at the end of the term, potentially making it the last roof your building ever needs.
Answer: Generally, yes. Because roof coatings are often classified as “maintenance” rather than a “capital improvement” (replacement), they can often be fully deducted in the same tax year they are applied. We recommend consulting with your tax professional to confirm the current Section 179 deductions for your Greeley or Fort Collins property.
Answer: Silicone is generally better for roofs with “ponding water” issues, as it does not break down under standing water. Acrylic coatings are cost-effective and provide excellent UV protection for sloped roofs with good drainage. Our team inspects your specific roof deck to recommend the system that offers the best long-term ROI.
Answer: On average, a commercial roof coating costs 40% to 60% less than a traditional roof replacement because it eliminates “tear-off” labor and landfill fees. Additionally, because the coating is highly reflective (Cool Roof technology), most building owners see a 15% to 30% reduction in annual cooling costs. Between the lower upfront cost, energy savings, and potential tax deductions as a maintenance expense, a coating system can often pay for itself within 5 to 7 years.
