What moves the price
- Roof type — coatings suit flat, low-slope and metal roofs; HomeGuide notes the NRCA advises against coating asphalt shingles.
- Condition — wet insulation, blisters, rust or failed seams must be repaired first.
- Coating system & thickness — silicone, acrylic, urethane; number of coats.
- Prep — cleaning, power washing, primers, seam and flashing work.
- Access & height — steep, tall or hard-to-reach roofs cost more.
- Season — many coatings need warm, dry weather to cure, which narrows the local working window.
Questions to ask a roofer
- Is my roof a good candidate, or does it need repair/replacement?
- Which product, how many mils, and is it manufacturer-warranted?
- Does the bid include cleaning, repairs and flashing?
- Are you insured, and will you pull permits if needed?
