Our Primary Specialty
Commercial Roof Restoration & Coating
Restoration is a way to extend the service life of a commercial roof that is still structurally sound — without a full tear-off. It is not right for every roof, and the only way to know is to inspect the one you have.
Roof Restoration
Does Your Roof Really Need to Be Replaced?
Aging doesn't always mean replacement. If your existing commercial roof is structurally sound and a good candidate for restoration, a professionally installed coating system may help extend its service life while avoiding the cost and disruption of a complete roof replacement.
We'll inspect your roof and tell you what it actually needs.
Roof Coating Explained
Roof Restoration, Explained Plainly
Coating is not a fix for every roof. Understanding what it does — and what it doesn't do — makes it easier to decide what your building actually needs.
What it is
A seamless layer applied over the existing roof
A roof coating system is a fluid-applied material rolled or sprayed over a prepared commercial roof. Once cured it forms a continuous surface with no field seams, covering the existing membrane or metal panels rather than replacing them.
When it makes sense
When the roof below is still sound
Restoration is appropriate when the existing assembly is dry, structurally sound and repairable — an aging surface, isolated failures and localized leaks are usually workable. Saturated insulation, deck damage or widespread system failure are not.
Potential benefits
Extended service life with less disruption
A coating system can add protection to an aging roof, seal repaired details, and reduce the operational disruption of a tear-off. Reflective coatings also reduce rooftop surface temperature. Actual performance depends on the system used and the condition of the roof.
Candidate roofs
Which commercial roofs may qualify
Single-ply membranes such as TPO and EPDM, modified bitumen, built-up roofs, existing coating systems and metal panel roofs can all be candidates. Candidacy is determined by condition, not roof type alone.
Why an inspection comes first
Two roofs of the same age and system can be in completely different condition. Before recommending a coating system, we need to see the surface, the details, the drainage and any moisture in the assembly. Recommending restoration on a roof that is already failing underneath does not help the building owner — and it does not last.
That is why we inspect first and give you the honest result, whether it points toward coating, repair or replacement.
The BD Roofing Process
Four Steps, Starting With the Roof Itself
The recommended solution may be restoration, repair, coating, TPO, metal roofing or replacement — it depends entirely on the condition of your roof.
- 01
Request an Inspection
Call or submit the inspection request form with basic information about your property and roof. There is no cost for the inspection.
- 02
Roof Inspection
We evaluate the existing roof system — surface condition, seams, flashings, penetrations, drainage and problem areas — to understand what is actually happening.
- 03
Recommended Solution
We explain what we found and recommend a path forward: repair, restoration, coating, TPO, metal roofing or replacement, based on the roof's actual condition.
- 04
Professional Installation
Once the scope is agreed on, the work is installed by our crews and coordinated around how your building operates.
