Your Roof Coating Package
Here's What's Included in Your Roof Coating Package
When we quote you a roof coating, that price covers everything — from the initial inspection to the final cleanup. We're Colorado licensed (#RC-38294) and GAF Master Elite certified. No surprises.
- Thorough pre-coating inspection — Our crew checks for moisture, cracks, and loose granules on your existing roof. We only apply coating if the substrate is sound; if repairs are needed, we'll flag them before we start.
- Professional surface preparation — We pressure wash your roof, scrape off any peeling coating, and apply a primer specifically matched to GAF and Malarkey elastomeric coatings. This step ensures adhesion that lasts through Denver's freeze-thaw cycles.
- High-performance coating application — We use GAF Master Elite approved elastomeric coatings, applied in two even coats with a roller and spray rig. Coverage includes flashings, vents, and pipe boots — no shortcuts.
- Metal work and seam sealing — All exposed metal (drip edge, flashing, valleys) gets a corrosion-inhibiting primer and matching topcoat. We seal every seam and fastener head with a polyurethane sealant rated for 25 years.
- Complete job site cleanup — Our crew leaves your property spotless. We use magnetic sweepers on the lawn and driveway, then haul away all debris. No paint splatters, no forgotten tools.
- Final walkthrough and documentation — Before we leave, we walk the roof with you (or send photos if you're not home). We provide a detailed summary of what was done, the manufacturer warranty certificate, and our 25-year workmanship guarantee.
- Transferable 25-year workmanship warranty — If any issue arises from our installation, we fix it at no cost. This warranty transfers to the next homeowner — a real value-add if you sell.
- No hidden fees — ever — The price we quote is the price you pay. We don't charge extra for multiple stories, steep slopes, or vent removal. If we find unexpected rot or structural issues, we stop and get your approval before doing any additional work.
Roof Coating Process
Your Roof Coating Project, Step by Step
From your first call to the final inspection, we handle every detail. Our Denver crew has coated 1,200+ roofs since 2013, using GAF, Owens Corning, and Malarkey coatings. Here's exactly what to expect — no surprises.
- Free Roof Assessment & Consultation — Call (720) 784-0657 or submit our online form. We'll schedule a same-day inspection (7 days a week during storm season). Our GAF Master Elite certified estimator meets you on-site, inspects your roof from attic to ridge, and discusses coating options tailored to your Denver neighborhood — whether it's a home in Wash Park or a commercial flat roof on Colfax.
- Detailed Written Estimate — Within 24 hours, you receive a no-obligation estimate breaking down materials (GAF, Owens Corning, Malarkey, CertainTeed), labor, and timeline. We include our Colorado license #RC-38294 and insurance certs so you know exactly who's on your roof.
- Roof Preparation & Repairs — Our crew strips loose granules, pressure-washes the surface, and makes any necessary repairs (flashing, cracked vents, or rot). We use GAF Liberty® primer and sealants to ensure adhesion. Every step is documented with photos, so you can track progress.
- Professional Coating Application — We apply the selected coating — acrylic, silicone, or polyurethane — in accordance with manufacturer specs. For residential sloped roofs, we use GAF WeatherWatch® or Owens Corning Duration® coatings; for flat roofs, Malarkey's DuraShield® or IKO's ArmourGard®. Our team applies two consistent coats, ensuring full coverage and 10-year UV protection.
- Inspection & Customer Walk-Through — After curing (typically 24–48 hours depending on Denver's weather), we conduct a final inspection checking for adhesion, thickness, and drainage. Then we walk the roof with you, showing completed work and answering questions. We also provide a manufacturer warranty registration certificate (GAF, Owens Corning, or Malarkey).
- Post-Project Support & Warranty — You receive our transferable 25-year workmanship warranty and a schedule for annual maintenance checks. Follow-up calls at 30 and 90 days ensure your coating is performing. We're always a call away — Denver homeowners have trusted us for 13 years, and we don't vanish after the job is done.

Real Job, Real Results
Sunnyside Flat Roof Saved With Acrylic Coating — 2024
A Sunnyside homeowner called us after two roofers told her the flat roof needed full replacement. We inspected it and found a different answer.
The house on W 38th Ave had a 1,200 sq ft modified bitumen flat roof that had been leaking at the parapet wall for two seasons. Two previous bids came back at $14,000–$16,000 for tear-off and replacement. Our crew inspected it in September 2024 and found the field membrane was still structurally sound — the leak source was failed flashing and a section of standing water near the drain.
We resealed the parapet flashing with a two-part polyurethane, re-sloped the drain collar, and applied a two-coat Acrylic-based elastomeric system — GAF EverGuard coating over a reinforcing fabric layer at all seams. Total project cost: $4,200.
The roof passed a post-application flood test. The homeowner gets a 10-year coating warranty from GAF and our 25-year transferable workmanship warranty.
Coating isn't always the right answer — if the substrate is failing, we'll tell you so. But when the membrane has life left, a proper coating system costs 60–70% less than replacement and adds a decade or more of service life. That's the honest assessment you get from a crew that's been reading Denver roofs since 2013.

Quick Answers
Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Coating in Denver
We’ve been applying roof coatings across Denver since 2013, and these are the questions we hear most often. If yours isn’t here, call (720) 784-0657 — we answer live, 7 days a week.
What is roof coating, and do I really need it?
Roof coating is a protective, reflective layer applied over your existing roof membrane or metal panels. It extends roof life by 10–15 years, reduces cooling costs (by up to 25% in Denver summers), and seals minor leaks. If your roof is in decent shape but showing age — say, a 10–15 year old flat roof or metal roof in Washington Park — coating is a cost-effective alternative to replacement. We’ve coated hundreds of Denver roofs since 2013, including many in Congress Park and Park Hill. Colorado License #RC-38294.
How long does roof coating last in Colorado’s climate?
With our freeze-thaw cycles and intense UV, a quality coating system should last 10–15 years with proper preparation and application. We use GAF and Malarkey high-performance coatings that stay flexible down to -20°F and resist hail impact. Our workmanship warranty is 25 years, fully transferable — adds real resale value. We just recoated a 2016 built-up roof in Stapleton that was showing cracks; it’s now under warranty through 2049.
How much does roof coating cost in Denver?
Pricing depends on square footage, current roof condition, and coating type. Most Denver homeowners pay between $1.50 and $3.00 per square foot. For a typical 2,000 sq ft flat roof in Cherry Creek, that’s around $3,000–$6,000. We always provide a firm, line-item quote after a free inspection — no surprises. Request a No-Obligation Estimate and we’ll measure, test, and give you the exact number.
Can I DIY roof coating to save money?
Honestly? We don’t recommend it. Roof coating is more than rolling on paint — it requires proper cleaning, patching of cracks, primer, and correct thickness to ensure warranty coverage. We’ve seen DIY jobs that peeled within a year, leading to water damage. Our crew is GAF Master Elite certified (fewer than 2% of Colorado roofers qualify) and insured to $2M. You get a warranty that’s actually honored. Save the DIY for interior paint.
Will roof coating fix my existing leaks?
It can seal minor cracks, ponding water areas, and splits, but it won’t fix underlying structural issues like rotted decking or failed flashing. Our process includes a thorough inspection first — if we find serious damage, we’ll tell you before coating. For example, last spring in Berkeley we found a roof that needed 4 sheets of decking replaced before coating. We fixed that, then applied a GAF silicone coating. No leaks since. Call (720) 784-0657 for a same-day inspection during storm season.
What types of roof coating do you use?
We carry GAF, Malarkey, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, IKO, and Atlas coatings — matching the best product to your roof material. For flat roofs, we favor silicone-based coatings (excellent ponding water resistance). For metal roofs, acrylic or polyurea coatings that expand and contract with Denver’s temperature swings. All come with manufacturer warranties. We’ll explain the options during your free assessment.
How long does the application take? Will it disrupt my day?
Most residential jobs take one to two days. We work efficiently, contain all debris, and clean up thoroughly. Your daily routine isn’t interrupted — we access the roof from outside, and you don’t need to be home except for the final walkthrough. We’ll give you a precise timeline in your quote. And we’re a Denver-based crew since 2013, so we respect our neighbors’ time.
