Professional roof coating application on a flat roof by Northway Roofing in Santa Fe, NM

Roof Coating & Sealing

Protect your roof with professional-grade coatings that seal leaks, reflect heat, and add years of life to your existing roof.

What We Offer

Roof coating is the most cost-effective way to protect your existing roof without the expense of a full replacement. At Northway Roofing, our coating and sealing services are our most popular offering — trusted by hundreds of Santa Fe homeowners and commercial property owners alike.

We specialize in multiple coating systems tailored to your roof type: premium aluminum coating for gravel and built-up roofs, fibered silicone for foam roofs, brai torch-down re-upgrades, and elastomeric sealants for maximum weather protection. Each system is designed to seal every crack, seam, vent, and penetration.

A professional roof coating can extend your roof's serviceable life by 5–10 years, improve energy efficiency by reflecting UV rays, and prevent water intrusion — all at a fraction of the cost of reroofing. Our coatings come with a 2-year guarantee, and many roofs go much longer between services.

Our Process

Simple, thorough, and transparent service every time.

1

Power Blow & Clean

We start by clearing all debris from the entire roof perimeter, canales, vents, and skylights using industrial power blowers. For heavily soiled roofs, we also power wash and allow 24 hours to dry completely.

2

Seal All Vulnerabilities

Every canal, vent, pipe, penetration, parapet seam, joint, and corner is sealed with premium roofing cement or silicone, reinforced with double mesh where needed for extra durability.

3

Apply Protective Coating

We apply the appropriate coating system for your roof type — premium fibered aluminum, high-grade silicone, elastomeric acrylic, or aesthetic tan granules — across the entire roof surface.

4

Final Inspection & Walkthrough

A thorough quality inspection ensures every square foot is covered. We walk you through the completed work and provide care recommendations to maximize your coating's lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of roof coating do you offer?expand_more
We offer four primary systems: (1) Premium fibered aluminum coating for gravel and built-up roofs, (2) Silicone coating for foam roofs, (3) Brai torch-down re-upgrades with aesthetic tan or white granules, and (4) Elastomeric acrylic coatings. We'll recommend the best system for your specific roof type during our free evaluation.
How long does a roof coating last?expand_more
With proper application, most coatings last 3–7 years depending on the system and roof exposure. Our brai torch-down upgrades can last even longer. We include a 2-year workmanship guarantee with every project.
Is coating better than replacing my roof?expand_more
If your roof's structure (decking, membrane) is still sound, coating is almost always the better choice. It costs 60–80% less than a full reroof and can be reapplied multiple times. However, if your deck is rotting or there's major structural damage, we'll be honest and recommend replacement instead.
How long does the process take?expand_more
Most residential coating projects take 1–2 days. Larger commercial roofs or those requiring power washing may take 2–3 days (including dry time). We work efficiently without cutting corners.
Can you coat any type of roof?expand_more
We coat gravel roofs, foam roofs, brai (modified bitumen) roofs, flat built-up roofs, and TPO roofs. Each requires a different coating system, and we're experienced with all of them. Shingle and metal roofs typically benefit from different service approaches.
