Long-Lasting Roof Coatings Done Right
We help protect your commercial roof, cut energy costs, and extend its life with expert coating systems.
Service Details
At Pillar Roofing, we help commercial property owners protect their buildings with professional roof coatings that add years of life to an existing roof system. A quality roof coating is not just paint. It is a fluid-applied roofing solution designed to seal, protect, and restore the surface of your roof. When the roof is still structurally sound but showing signs of age, weathering, small leaks, or surface wear, a coating can be a smart and cost-effective alternative to a full roof replacement.
We install roof coatings for commercial buildings throughout Richardson, TX and the surrounding area. Our team starts with a full roof inspection so we can see if your roof is a good candidate. If the membrane, insulation, and decking are still in serviceable condition, a roof restoration coating may be the right fit. This approach can reduce disruption to your business, lower long-term maintenance costs, and improve the performance of your current roof.
What a Roof Coating Does
A commercial roof coating creates a continuous protective layer over the existing roof surface. Once applied, it helps defend the roof against sun exposure, standing water in some systems, normal weathering, and minor surface damage. It can also help seal seams, flashing details, fasteners, and problem areas that often become leak points over time.
Many roof coating systems also offer reflective benefits. A reflective roof coating can reduce heat absorption, which may help lower roof surface temperatures and improve energy efficiency inside the building. For many commercial properties in Texas, that can be a real advantage during long, hot summers.
Our Roof Coating Process
We believe the best results come from proper prep work and honest recommendations. Before we apply any coating, we inspect the roof closely and look at its age, condition, drainage, existing materials, and any signs of active leaks or moisture issues. If repairs are needed first, we take care of those before moving forward.
Our roof coating process often includes:
- Detailed roof inspection and consultation
- Moisture evaluation and condition assessment
- Cleaning the roof surface to remove dirt, debris, oils, and loose material
- Repairing cracks, blisters, punctures, open seams, and flashing details
- Priming the surface when required for proper adhesion
- Applying the selected coating system at the specified thickness
- Final inspection to confirm coverage and workmanship
Every roof is different, so we match the application method and coating product to the roof type and the building’s needs. Our goal is to provide a roof coating system that performs well and lasts.
Roof Types We Commonly Coat
Roof coatings can work well on many commercial roofing systems when conditions are right. At Pillar Roofing, we work with a range of commercial roof types, including:
- Single-ply roofing membranes
- Modified bitumen roofing
- Metal roofing systems
- Composition roofing on select commercial structures
- Other flat and low-slope roof systems
If you are not sure what type of roof you have, we can inspect it and explain your options clearly. We do not push coatings when a roof is too far gone. If a repair or replacement is the better investment, we will tell you.
Benefits of Commercial Roof Coatings
One of the biggest reasons building owners choose roof coatings is value. Coatings can restore and protect an aging roof without the cost and downtime of a tear-off in many cases. They can also help building owners plan better by extending roof life and reducing the need for emergency repairs.
Benefits may include:
- Extended service life for the existing roof
- Lower cost compared to full roof replacement in many situations
- Improved waterproofing and weather resistance
- Reduced thermal gain with reflective coating options
- Less business disruption during installation
- Seam and flashing reinforcement
- Easier ongoing maintenance
For commercial properties in Texas, roof coatings can also help slow down wear caused by UV exposure, high heat, and seasonal storms. That extra layer of protection can make a big difference over time.
When a Roof Coating Makes Sense
A roof coating is often a good option when the roof is aging but still structurally sound. It can be ideal for roofs with surface deterioration, minor leaks, weathering, or loss of reflectivity. Coatings are also worth considering if you want to extend the life of your current commercial roof while improving energy performance and staying within budget.
That said, coatings are not the right answer for every roof. If there is major water intrusion, saturated insulation, severe structural issues, or widespread membrane failure, a roof replacement may be the safer path. We will walk you through what we find and give you a straight answer.

Our Roof Coating Process
We make roof coatings simple, transparent, and built for long-term performance. From the first inspection to the final walkthrough, our team focuses on protection, energy savings, and clear communication every step of the way.
Inspection, Core Review & Quote
We start with a free on-site roof inspection to check membrane condition, seams, drainage, ponding water, and any wet insulation that could affect coating performance. Then we explain your options clearly and provide a detailed quote, coating system recommendation, and realistic timeline for your commercial property.
Prep Work & Coating Application
Before any coating goes down, we clean the roof surface, complete needed roof repairs, reinforce problem areas, and prep penetrations, flashing, and seams for strong adhesion. Our RCAT-licensed team then applies the right roof coating system at the proper coverage rate, usually over one to three days depending on roof size and weather.
Final Check & Ongoing Protection
After the coating cures, we perform a final quality inspection to confirm even coverage, sealed details, and proper drainage across the roof system. We walk you through the completed work, answer questions, and can set up a maintenance plan to help your coated roof last longer and perform better.
Roof Coatings FAQs
Common questions from commercial property owners about roof coating systems, cost, lifespan, and whether a coating is the right fit for your building.
- What is a roof coating, and how does it help my commercial roof?
A roof coating is a protective liquid membrane applied over an existing commercial roof. Once it cures, it creates a seamless layer that helps seal the surface, protect against weather, and slow down wear. For many buildings, a coating can help stop minor leaks, reduce future damage, and extend the life of the current roof without the cost of a full replacement.
- How do I know if my roof is a good candidate for a coating?
The best way to know is to have us inspect it. In general, coatings work best on commercial roofs that are still structurally sound but showing signs of aging, small leaks, surface cracks, or weathering. If the roof has major saturated areas, severe damage, or underlying structural issues, a coating may not be the right solution. At Pillar Roofing, we provide free estimates and honest recommendations, so you get the option that makes the most sense for your building and budget.
- Is a roof coating cheaper than a roof replacement?
In many cases, yes. A roof coating is often more affordable than a full commercial roof replacement because it uses the existing roof as the base when the system is still in serviceable condition. That means less tear-off, less disruption, and a lower overall project cost. We will inspect your roof and let you know if a coating can solve the problem or if a replacement would be the better long-term investment.
- How long does a roof coating last?
That depends on the condition of the roof, the coating system used, and how well the roof is maintained. Many commercial roof coatings can last for years when properly installed and supported by routine inspections and maintenance. We will explain what to expect based on your roof type and give you straightforward guidance on how to get the longest life from the system.
- Will a roof coating interrupt my business operations?
Most coating projects are less disruptive than a full roof replacement. Since there is usually less tear-off and less debris, many businesses can stay open during the work. We plan every project carefully, communicate with you clearly, and work to keep noise, access issues, and downtime to a minimum so your day-to-day operations are affected as little as possible.

"Pillar Roofing replaced my roof and gutters last month and they did an excellent job. Steve and George are awesome! They were very quick to respond and answer any questions that we had. I highly recommend Pillar if you need a new roof!!"
"Can’t recommend Pillar Roofing enough! Steve and Wayne came out within a day of my talking to them, took their pictures and came back with several bid offers, everything from a full rebuild to simply minimal patching. We went with the middle road of doing a liquid TPO, which they got done in record time, and hauled off all their materials. No leaks on that project since, and we had them back out for another roof that started leaking after that terrible 2022 north Texas rainstorm. Same story, record time for the bid, and they got it done with no hassle on our end. Highly recommended! John Lee Harrison- The Armstrong Foundation"

"EXTREMELY SATISFIED CUSTOMER! When I was first shopping for roofers for a major skylight leak I couldn’t even find an honest roofer. We have cameras all around our house. We had two roofers give us a quote to replace the entire roof that didn’t even get on top of our roof! BLAKE from Pillar Roofing came out and then met with me to go over his quote and suggested we get an insurance adjuster out because he saw some hail damage. Our roof was over 20 years old. So we did and the inspector agreed. Blake walked me through the entire process and answered all my questions. His crew showed up even earlier than Blake advised on both days. They cleaned up after demo and after install. They completed the job when Blake advised. The roof looks amazing and all my neighbors are asking for their number! Blake is extremely knowledgeable and took time to explain the process to me and everything he advised was true to what occurred. Blake is personable, patient, and very responsive. I felt completely at ease working with Blake on this major project! I am extremely pleased with Pillar Roofing!!!"

This is an outstanding roofing company."

The man who came to inspect my roof was punctual, very friendly and thorough explaining my options and the procedure. After the insurance agent came to inspect the roof as well, a date was set and that morning the crew arrived and replaced the roof and cleaned up by 5 pm. The roof looks great. The crew was nice. I'm happy. Thank you."

"I could not have asked for better service. I was hit by the two major hail storms in Wylie. After the first one, I contacted Blake Joyce to look at my roof.........wasn't sure if I needed to contact my insurance company. He came out right away and confirmed the call. Needless to say, the second one hit and I then had hundreds of holes in my roof..........water coming in everywhere. My adjuster was already scheduled to come out the day after. Once he gave the OK......Blake had his crew were out to cover the roof that night..........by Friday (which was before the next big rain that came) he had our beautiful new roof going and finished Saturday morning. Thank you Pillar/Blake Joyce for the awesome job done and being so kind and patient! Karen Clevenger"
"Pillar handled the storm repair on my house in Wylie, TX in 2017. They repaired my roof, repaired my gutters, replaced my siding, and recommended a great guy to help repair and update my AC unit. They handled all the arrangements with me remotely as I was living out of state at the time. Their customer service was a huge help to me. They were honest, responsive, and understanding. I highly recommend this family owned company. Thank you Pillar!"
"Pillar Roofing was really great. We had our roof ruined in the spring hail storm of 2017 and they were among many roofers we talked to. Pillar gave us a reasonable quote, they were on time and the work was really terrific. And they cleaned up after the job! I highly recommend them."
"Got hit pretty bad with the Murphy Hail Storm last Spring. Steve the owner was personally engaged as well as several of his staff. He took us through the entire process and explained what to expect and the timing from start to finish. He worked directly with our Insurance company and assured all our damage was repaired and even pointed out things to the adjuster that we had no clue were covered. Very satisfied with the results and the professionalism of the crew. While I hope we never have to go through that again, you can be sure we will be calling Pillar Roofing if we do."

"Great company, great customer service!"
"I recently (late 2014) had a fairly major interior and exterior paint job, and woodwork replacement, done to my house. Our house is completely painted brick and fascia, a rather large job. I couldn't be happier with the level of service I received from Pillar Construction. I am a very picky person and they more than satisfied me. I would be happy to answer any questions from a perspective customer, or anyone else, but can't say enough good things about the services performed. They exceeded my expectations!!"
