Pricing and What Drives It
Quoted project total: $102,995. The primary cost driver for this project was the size of the roof, at roughly 49,500 square feet, along with the extent of deteriorated areas that needed repair before coating.
Typical published range for this project type: $100,000+.
The Situation
The property owner contacted Five Guys Roofing about the age of the roof and wanted to get ahead of it with a planned upgrade rather than wait for problems to develop.
- The roof was showing its age
- No emergency was reported — this was a planned, proactive project
- The owner wanted to extend the roof’s life before issues developed
What Was Causing It
Inspection found an aging cap-sheet roof with cracked, worn seams and roughly 600 square feet of badly deteriorated roofing that needed to be addressed before coating.
How We Verified the Roof Condition
Our team verified the roof condition with an on-site inspection ahead of scheduling the work, confirming both the overall wear and the specific areas that needed repair before coating could go on.
- Full walk of the roof to assess the cap-sheet condition
- Identified roughly 600 square feet of badly deteriorated roofing needing repair
- Checked all penetrations, drains, and parapet flashings for wear
- Confirmed findings with the property owner before finalizing scope
Supporting documentation included a signed proposal and inspection photos.
The Plan
The scope for this job called for a full elastomeric recoat: pressure wash and clean the roof, repair the worst areas, seal and reinforce all penetrations and seams, then apply a two-coat elastomeric coating system across the entire roof.
Materials and Components Used
- Coating: Tropical #901 (High Solids) white elastomeric coating, applied as base and top coats
- Repair areas: self-adhered rolled roofing
- Seam and drain detailing: 6-inch and 40-inch tytek membrane over seams and roof drains
- Penetration detailing: Eternamastic sealant and reinforcing fabric at pipes, vents, and penetrations
- Seal/finish: Chemlink caulking at parapet wall flashings and joints
Step-by-Step Work
Pressure Wash and Repair
We pressure washed and cleaned the entire roof to remove dirt and debris buildup, then addressed the roughly 600 square feet of badly deteriorated roofing with new self-adhered rolled roofing before any coating went down.
Seal, Reinforce, and Coat
We sealed and reinforced every roof penetration — pipes, vents, cracks — with sealant and fabric, then applied a two-coat elastomeric coating system across the full roof: a base coat followed by a top coat, with tytek membrane embedded over all seams and roof drains for extra protection.
Detail Work and Final Inspection
We detailed the coating around all roof penetrations, rooftop equipment, and AC units, reinstalled roof drain covers, and applied new caulking over the parapet wall flashings and joints. The site was cleaned and a final walk confirmed the work met our quality standards before close-out.
Results
After completion, the building had a fully restored roof surface: a clean, sealed elastomeric coating system designed to resist water intrusion and extend the roof’s service life.
The property owner received a 10-year no-leak warranty covering labor and material, which is transferable, along with free yearly inspections.
