Serving Broward and Palm Beach County, we specialize in restoring and protecting roofs with high-performance silicone coatings designed for South Florida’s harsh conditions.
What is Roof Silicone Waterproofing?
Silicone waterproofing involves applying a seamless, weatherproof coating over your existing roof. This flexible membrane fills cracks, seals leaks, and creates a durable, reflective surface that resists water, UV rays, and mold growth. It’s an excellent solution for flat and low-slope roofs, helping to extend their lifespan without the need for a full roof replacement.
Our Roof Silicone Waterproofing Services
At Rainshield Roofing, we specialize in roof silicone waterproofing with a wide range of roofing restoration process, including:
Full Roof Silicone Restoration
This service involves cleaning the entire roof surface, addressing any minor damages such as cracks or seams, and then applying a complete silicone membrane across the roof. It creates a seamless, watertight shield that protects against leaks, ponding water, and UV damage. Full restoration is an excellent alternative to expensive roof replacements, often adding 10–20 years of life to the existing roof.
Spot Waterproofing and Repairs
When only certain areas of the roof show damage — like around flashing, vents, skylights, or seams — spot silicone waterproofing is used. This targeted approach stops leaks at their source without the need for a full coating application, making it a cost-effective option for roofs in otherwise good condition. It helps extend the roof’s functionality while avoiding major disruption.
Silicone Recoating
Over time, even silicone-coated roofs can wear down due to constant exposure to Florida's intense sun and storms. Silicone recoating involves cleaning and lightly prepping the existing silicone layer, then applying a new coat to restore waterproofing performance and reflectivity. Recoating helps avoid roof failure and is far less costly than tearing off and replacing the system.
Ponding Water Solutions
Flat and low-slope roofs often develop areas where water collects after rain, leading to material breakdown and leaks. Specialized ponding-resistant silicone coatings are formulated to remain flexible and durable even under standing water conditions. Applying these coatings prevents long-term water damage and ensures the structural integrity of the roof is preserved.
Energy-Efficient Reflective Coatings
Silicone coatings can be formulated with highly reflective properties that bounce sunlight away from the roof’s surface. By reducing heat absorption, these coatings help lower indoor temperatures, decrease HVAC usage, and cut down on energy bills. This service is particularly valuable for businesses and homeowners looking for green building solutions and improved energy efficiency.
How RainShield Roofing
Handle Roof Silicone Waterproofing Projects
We are committed to delivering long-lasting roofing solutions backed by warranties and decades of combined experience.
1. Roof Inspection and Evaluation
We begin with a full inspection to assess roof condition, identify damage, and determine if silicone coating is the right solution.
2. Thorough Cleaning and Surface Preparation
We clean the roof surface using pressure washing to remove dirt, debris, and old coatings, ensuring the silicone will adhere properly.
3. Minor Roof Repairs
Before applying silicone, we repair cracks, seams, punctures, and other minor issues to create a stable, uniform surface.
4. Primer Application (If Needed)
In some cases, we apply a bonding primer to enhance adhesion between the existing roof surface and the silicone coating.
5. Silicone Coating Installation
We carefully apply a high-quality, commercial-grade silicone coating evenly across the roof to create a seamless, waterproof membrane.
6. Final Inspection and Quality Assurance
After the coating cures, we perform a detailed inspection to confirm complete coverage, proper thickness, and long-lasting protection.
