ROOF COATINGS

Silicone Roof Coatings

Cobblestone Construction applies Gaco 100% silicone roof coatings across Utica and the Mohawk Valley. A coating seals and renews a weathered flat or low-slope roof without a tear-off, stands up to ponding water, and costs a fraction of replacement. The free inspection tells you whether your roof qualifies.

FLAT ROOF RESTORATION

Can my flat roof be coated instead of replaced?

Often, yes. If the roof underneath is fundamentally sound, a silicone coating seals it into one continuous waterproof surface and buys it years of service without a tear-off. The coating goes on as a liquid and cures into a flexible membrane over the whole roof, leaks, weathered spots, and all. No demolition, no dumpsters, no weeks of disruption over your building.

We use Gaco silicone systems because silicone solves the two problems that kill other coatings. Acrylic and asphalt coatings go brittle and crack in UV, and they soften and bubble under standing water. Silicone stays flexible and does not break down under ponding, which matters on Mohawk Valley flat roofs that carry water and snow for months. The honest part: a coating over a failed roof is money wasted, and we will not sell you one. The free inspection tells us, and you, which side of that line your roof is on.

I have had them out twice now to replace sections of my roof. Both times they did amazing work. They left the area clean when they were done, even taking extra care around all of the plants as to not damage anything. Great work and communication.

We just got a new roof with this company. Pete and Gina are fantastic. Their financing through Green Sky was quick and easy. Their workers worked really fast and did a great job, all the way to the end with great clean up. They were done in one day.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

ROOF COATING QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Straight answers to what homeowners and building owners ask us most. Still not sure about something? Call (315) 733-3106 and a real person will pick up.

Can a flat roof be coated instead of replaced?

Usually, if the roof under the coating is sound. A membrane with scattered leaks, weathered seams, or surface wear is a coating candidate. A roof with saturated insulation or failure across the whole field is not, and coating it just buries the problem. The inspection sorts one from the other, and it is free.

What is a silicone roof coating?

A liquid-applied membrane. We prepare the existing roof, then apply Gaco 100% silicone across the whole surface, where it cures into one continuous flexible waterproof layer. Every seam, fastener, and flashing ends up sealed under a single coat with no joints in it.

Why silicone instead of acrylic or asphalt coatings?

Because of water and sun. Acrylic and asphalt coatings go brittle and crack under UV, and standing water softens and bubbles them, which is a bad trait for a product that lives on a flat roof. Silicone stays flexible for its whole life and holds up under permanent ponding. That is the difference you are paying for.

How much does a coating save over replacement?

A coating skips the two biggest line items on a replacement: tearing the old roof off and hauling it away. There is no demolition labor, no dumpsters, and no days of your building sitting open. Every roof is different, so the real number comes from the free inspection and a written estimate.

What kinds of roofs can be coated?

Most flat and low-slope surfaces: metal, modified bitumen, built-up roofs, and aged single-ply membranes like EPDM and TPO. Silicone adheres to most common roof surfaces, so the question is rarely the material. It is the condition underneath, which is what we inspect for.

When is a coating the wrong answer?

When the roof under it is already gone. Wet insulation, a membrane failing across the whole field, or deck problems all mean replacement, and a coating would only hide them while the damage keeps spreading. We tell you which one your roof needs before we quote anything, because coating the wrong roof costs you twice.
