A coating can’t savea failed roof
A roof coating is a layer rolled or sprayed over the roof you already have. It can’t add life to a roof past its service life. Sprayed thin over wet insulation, it can look fine for a season while the roof under it keeps failing.
That’s why people ask hard questions about coatings. Here are those worries in their own words, each with what Lifetime Roofing of El Paso does about it.
“Is elastomeric coating a scam?”
We quote a repair when a repair will do.
“Coatings don’t make it 20 years”
We say it up front: recoating on schedule is normal upkeep you pay for, and the lifetime warranty doesn’t cover it.
“a lot of fly by night roofers who put one layer on and it does nothing”
We’ve been family owned since 2009 and in El Paso since 2019, and the warranty paper is yours at the end of the job.
A paint company is selling roof coating. Who’s doing the prep?
Our own crew applies your coating, not subcontractors.
“it seems like that silicone only adheres well to itself”
That’s how silicone works, so tell us what’s on your roof now. We work with all the major makers.
“a recoat will only buy you a couple of years max”
If a leak comes back on our work, we come back and fix it at no charge.

What callers askabout roof coatings
How much does a roof coating cost in El Paso?
It depends on the roof. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso prices each coating after a free inspection, and the written estimate reaches you within 48 hours. What’s on the roof now, its condition, and any ponding all matter.
Will a coating stop my roof from leaking?
Not by itself. A coating goes over a sound, dry roof, so the leak has to be fixed first. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso quotes a repair when a repair will do.
Does the lifetime warranty cover recoating?
No. The lifetime warranty from Lifetime Roofing of El Paso covers our workmanship. Recoating on schedule is normal upkeep the owner pays for.
Is silicone roof coating better than acrylic?
Where water stands, yes. Silicone handles ponding best, but later only more silicone will stick to it. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso works with all the major makers, so the roof decides.

Acrylic, silicone,or urethane coating
Elastomeric means a coating that stretches, so acrylic, silicone, and urethane all count, even though people often say it meaning white acrylic. Pick one to see how it holds up.
Acrylic
Acrylic handles sun well and chalks slowly, and it takes most other coatings at recoat time. It handles ponding poorly: over about 48 hours of standing water it softens, and most makers exclude ponded areas.
Silicone
Silicone sits in standing water without softening, and it doesn’t chalk in the sun. It picks up dirt, its soft film wears under foot traffic, and it’s slippery when wet. Once it’s on, only more silicone will bond to it.
Urethane
Urethane is the toughest of the three against foot traffic and impact, and it handles ponding moderately to well. The aromatic type of urethane needs a top coat of the aliphatic type to stand up to UV.
Ponding means water standing on a roof after rain. Where it stands, the drainage gets fixed first, or silicone goes on that spot.

Is your roof a fitfor a coating?
The roof under a coating decides how much good it does. A good membrane and good insulation can take one, and a recoat over a saturated roof buys little time.
A coating can work when
- The membrane and the insulation under it are still sound and dry.
- Every leak has been fixed and has dried out.
A coating won’t work over
- A roof past its service life, because a coating can’t add life to it.
- Wet insulation, which has to come out before coating.
What El Paso, TX heatand monsoons do to a coating
Monsoon
Water left standing after a monsoon cell tests a coating’s ponding rating. Maker warranties can also go void when ponding lasts over 48 hours, so a clogged drain matters.
Average summer heat
A coating sits in that heat and sun with no shade, so its UV rating counts here.
Record summer heat
That year also brought a 44-day streak at 100 degrees.

More questions aboutroof coatings
How often should a flat roof be coated?
It depends on the product. Dry thickness, measured in mils, varies by product and sets how long a coat lasts. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso can go over the options at your free inspection.
Does a maker’s warranty on a coating cover labor?
Not always. A material-only warranty supplies replacement product, often prorated, and the owner pays labor. Long warranty numbers often mean this. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso prints its workmanship warranty beside the maker’s.
Is a roof coating ENERGY STAR rated?
Not anymore. ENERGY STAR ended its roof products program on June 1, 2022, so a coating advertised that way is out of date. CRRC-1 is the third-party rating to ask Lifetime Roofing of El Paso about.
Can a painter put on my roof coating?
Legally, yes. Texas has no state roofer license, so ask who carries insurance. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso carries $1M general liability and $2M workers’ comp.
Can I pay for a roof coating over time?
Ask about financing. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso has financing available and a 5% military discount. Ask about both when you call (915) 353-3934.
