When Shingle Roof Coating Fits In Somerset
Shingle roofs show their age from the ground and from inside. These pairs match inside signs with the shingle conditions behind them.
- Inside The Building
Stain Below A Wall Joint
A stain shows where a shingled section meets a taller wall.
On The RoofLoose Step Flashing
Flashing at the wall pulls away, letting water slip behind the shingles.
- Inside The Building
Drip Near A Vent
Water appears around a plumbing vent or exhaust pipe that runs through the roof.
On The RoofCracked Vent Boot
Rubber boots around pipes split with sun and age.
- Inside The Building
Grit In The Gutters
Downspouts wash out piles of dark granules after storms.

Benefits of Coating Your Roof
What a coating does for shingles that pass the inspection.
Delay Tear-Off
A qualifying shingle roof stays on the building instead of being torn off now.
Less Shingle Waste
Asphalt shingles kept in service on the roof stay out of the landfill for years longer.
Reflective Surface
Light-colored coating over the shingles reflects more summer sun than dark granules do.
Doors Stay Open
Tenants and staff keep working, with the deck covered the whole time.
Shingles Shedding Grit?
Granules in the gutters tell part of the story. Schedule an inspection, and we check whether the shingles pass the coating test.
How A Shingle Coating Job Works
Shingle coating starts with a gate, and only roofs that pass it go on to the rest of the steps.
Inspect Your Roof INSPECT
We check tabs for curl, cracks, and missing pieces, look at granule loss, check flashings at walls and vents, and confirm the shingle maker allows coating.
Clean The Shingles CLEAN
Gentle washing removes dirt, moss, and loose granules while leaving the tabs intact, and the roof dries before any work continues.
Secure Loose Tabs SECURE
Lifted tabs are sealed back down, damaged pieces are replaced, and vent boots and pipe collars are swapped where they have split.
Seal Flashings FLASH
Flashings at walls, vents, and any metal-to-shingle joint get reinforced so water stops at the edges before the coating goes on.
Apply Shingle Coating COAT
A coating rated for shingles goes on at the specified thickness, with compatible products used on any metal section of the same building.
Systems For The Rest Of The Building
Many shingled offices and stores sit next to metal or flat roofs. These services cover those sections.
Metal Roof Coating
Metal roof coating covers the shop or warehouse attached to a shingled office.

Shingle Coating Questions
Coating shingles, prep before calling, and the inspection itself.
Shingle Coating
Can Commercial Shingle Roofs Be Coated?
Yes, when the shingles are still flat, attached, and holding most of their granules. Strip centers, offices, and churches with intact steep sections fit best. Some shingle and coating makers restrict coatings over shingles, and curled, cracked, or missing tabs mean the shingles are near the end.
What About A Building With Metal And Shingles?
Buildings with a metal section and a shingle section get compatible products on both, and the joint between them gets flashing work first. The metal side follows the usual screw and lap prep, while the shingle side gets cleaning, tab securing, and a shingle-rated coating.
Before You Call
What Should We Check Before Calling?
Note ceiling stains and the roof area above them, rust streaks or loose trim on metal sections, granules in the gutters, and puddles that stay after rain. Photos, the approximate roof age, and the roof type help the inspection go quickly. Stay off any roof you are unsure of.
Is It Safe To Walk A Shingle Roof?
Stay on the ground and use photos instead. Steep shingle sections get slick with dew, and walking on aging tabs breaks them. Binoculars or a photo from a lift show curled tabs, missing pieces, and flashing gaps well enough for the first call.
The Inspection
What Happens During The Inspection?
A crew walks the roof, measures it, and checks every part a coating has to cover: tabs, flashings, vents, edges, and any metal sections with their fasteners and laps. A look from inside checks the deck. Afterward, Somerset Metal Roof Coating explains what the roof needs, and you choose the next step.
What If The Shingles Fail The Test?
We say so plainly. Curled or cracked tabs leave nothing firm for a coating to grip, so the honest call is replacing that shingle section. Any metal or flat sections on the same building can still be coated on their own schedule.
