Roof Conditions
Shingle Roof Coating Conditions On Lafayette Commercial Buildings
These details tell us whether a shingle roof can take a coating.
Granules Collecting In The Gutters
WatchGranule loss shows in gutters and at downspouts, worst below the sunniest slopes. Coating slows it once the shingles are clean and dry.
Tabs Lifted By Spring Storms
Repair FirstWind can unseal tabs along ridges and rakes after spring storms. Each one is resealed with roofing cement before coating so it stays down.
Valleys Where Debris Builds Up
Repair FirstLeaves and grit hold water in valleys and wear the shingles there fastest. Valleys are cleaned and checked for worn spots first.
Leaks At Vent Boots And Chimneys
Call NowCracked pipe boots and loose step flashing are the most common leak points. They are replaced before the shingles are coated.
Soft Decking Near The Eaves
WatchA spongy spot near the edge means rot in the deck from years of ice backing up. That section is repaired before any coating goes on.

Owner Questions
Shingle Roof Coating Answers For Lafayette Owners
Answers on cost, fit, and which coating bonds to shingles.
Cost
What is the shingle roof coating cost on a commercial building?
Plan on about $2.50 to $4.00 per square foot for coating and about $5 to $8 for replacement, with the final price set after an inspection. Roof size, pitch, how many tabs need resealing or shingles replacing, granule loss, valleys, penetrations, and access all move the number.
Fit
Is shingle roof coating on commercial buildings common in Lafayette?
It is used on offices, churches, clinics, and small retail buildings with asphalt shingles. Coating suits shingles that are aging but flat and well attached, sealing them and slowing granule loss. Curled, cracked, or missing shingles need repair or replacement first.
Shingle roof coating vs reshingling: which makes sense?
Coating fits when shingles lie flat, the deck is firm, and wear is mostly sun and granule loss. Reshingling fits when shingles are brittle, curled, or missing in many places, or the deck is soft. Coating also skips tear-off debris and keeps entrances clear.
Products
What is the best coating for asphalt shingles?
A coating made for asphalt shingles that bonds to them and lets them breathe, so moisture inside the shingles can escape instead of blistering the coated surface later. Metal roof coatings are never swapped in.
The product choice depends on pitch, shingle condition, color, and sun exposure, and a small adhesion test confirms the bond before the full roof.
How long does a coating last on commercial shingles?
It depends on the shingles under it. A coating on flat, well-attached shingles with a firm deck slows granule loss and weathering for years, and a recoat can follow. On brittle shingles the coat buys much less time, which is why we bend-test them first.
Can gutters and downspouts stay in place during the work?
Yes. Gutters are cleaned and checked for loose hangers, and downspouts are kept clear so rinse water and rain drain normally while the coating cures.
Can a second layer of shingles be coated?
We look closely at roofs with two layers. The extra weight and trapped moisture between layers often make replacement the better call, and we explain what we find on the deck before recommending either path.
