Roof Coatings Omaha
Give Your Existing Roof a Little More Life
Replacing a roof isn’t always the only way forward. A roof coating can add a protective layer over an existing roofing system, helping seal cracks, protect against weather, and extend the roof’s service life when the underlying roof is still in good condition.
4,000+ Projects Completed
Summit Exteriors has completed approximately 4,000 roofing and exterior projects. That experience helps our team recognize when a roof may benefit from restoration and when coating isn't the right answer.
14 Years in the Industry
Jonathan brings approximately 14 years of roofing and construction experience to the company. That knowledge helps us assess the existing roof and recommend a coating system based on its actual condition.
We Look at the Roof First
A coating isn't a bandage for every roofing problem. We'll inspect the existing roof, looking for leaks, cracks, damaged seams, drainage issues, fastener problems, and other signs that could affect the coating's performance.
We Know When to Say No
Roof coating isn't the answer for every roof. If the existing system needs major repairs or full replacement, we'll tell you instead of putting a coating over problems it can't solve.

Our Roof Coating Services

- Roof Inspections – We inspect the existing roof before recommending a coating to identify damage, drainage concerns, leaks, seams, fasteners, and other issues.
- Roof Repair – If the roof needs repairs before coating, we'll identify the work required so the coating system has a sound surface to go over.
Is Roof Coating Right for Your Roof?
A roof coating works best when the existing roofing system is still in reasonably good condition. It isn’t designed to cover up major structural problems, extensive damage, or a roof that’s already at the end of its useful life.
We’ll inspect the roof and look at its materials, roof size, drainage, seams, existing damage, and overall condition before recommending a coating. If full replacement is the better option, we’ll tell you that too.
How Roof Coatings Can Help
A properly selected and installed coating can provide several benefits:
- Adds a waterproofing layer
- Helps protect against rain and weather
- Seals certain cracks and surface imperfections
- Helps protect roofing materials from further deterioration
- May improve energy efficiency with reflective coating systems
- Can extend the roof's service life
- May cost less than full roof replacement when the existing roof is suitable
The results depend on the existing roofing system, coating material, installation quality, roof condition, and other factors.

“Outstanding Work”
Skyline Imaging has been expeditious and professional from start to finish. Dillon Pigsley was super pleasant to work with throughout the claim process and scheduled services. Roofers were there early and gone before 4:30pm. Roof looks great and the property was cleaned up very well.

FAQ
Can a roof coating stop leaks?
It can help seal certain leaks and protect the roofing system from water, but the existing roof needs to be inspected first. Significant damage, drainage issues, or structural problems may need to be repaired before coating or may call for replacement instead.
How do I know if my roof is a good candidate for coating?
The existing roof needs to be in suitable condition for the coating system to perform properly. We’ll inspect the roofing materials, seams, fasteners, drainage, cracks, and other areas before recommending a coating.
Can roof coatings extend the life of an old roof?
A coating can extend the service life of an existing roof when the underlying roofing system is still sound. It isn’t a way to make a severely deteriorated roof new again, so the condition of the roof matters.
Can you coat a metal roof?
Yes. Metal roof coatings are available for suitable existing metal roofing systems. We’ll inspect for corrosion, damaged fasteners, seams, leaks, and other issues before recommending a coating.
Do roof coatings help with energy efficiency?
Some coating systems are designed to reflect more solar heat, which can help reduce heat absorbed by the roof. The effect on energy use depends on the building, insulation, ventilation, roofing system, and other factors.
Is roof coating cheaper than replacing a roof?
It can be a cost-effective alternative when the existing roof is in good enough condition for restoration. We’ll look at the roof’s condition and explain the available options rather than recommending a coating simply because it costs less upfront.
Can you coat a commercial flat roof?
Yes. We provide commercial roof coating services for suitable flat roofing systems, including built-up roofing. The roof will need to be inspected first to determine whether coating is appropriate.
How long does a roof coating last?
Service life varies based on the coating system, existing roof, installation, weather exposure, maintenance, and other conditions. We’ll discuss the expected performance of the specific system recommended for your property.
Let's See What Your Roof Has Left in It
A roof doesn't always need to be torn off just because it's getting older. If your existing roof is still in good shape but showing wear, a coating may give it some extra time and protection.
