Elastomeric Roof Coating
In Pennsylvania, roof leaks are a prevalent issue with various causes, frequently leading to premature roof replacements. The region’s diverse climate encompasses frequent heavy rains and sporadic gale-force winds, which can lead to ponding or pooling water on the roof surface, weakening seams, causing corrosion, and damaging the membrane and flashing. Additionally, the constantly fluctuating temperatures can result in cracks, splits, and blisters on the membrane, allowing outside air, debris, pests, and moisture to penetrate through the roof deck and infiltrate the building. To effectively address these problems, the ideal solution is to apply an elastomeric roof coating to your existing roof.
With over a decade of established expertise, Lester’s Carpentry is a certified contractor of Conklin Roofing Systems. We specialize in delivering cost-effective, energy-efficient, and durable elastomeric roof coatings for commercial roofing systems. Our approach eliminates the need for time-consuming and expensive roof replacements, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free experience for our clients.
What is an Elastomeric?
An elastomeric coating refers to a polymer coating with rubber-like properties that exhibit remarkable flexibility, allowing it to stretch up to twice its original size and recover its shape without any cracks or breaks. When applied to a roof, this coating enables the roof to withstand the natural expansion and contraction that occurs during seasonal weather changes, preventing any potential damage to the roof’s surface. There are three primary types of elastomeric solutions available: acrylic, urethane, and silicone.
Elastomeric Roof Coating
Elastomeric roof coatings offer a resilient and economical solution as an alternative to traditional roof replacement. With a track record since 1977, Conklin’s innovative elastomeric roof coating has consistently delivered exceptional performance in repairing, restoring, and safeguarding diverse roofing systems. Notably, these coatings have successfully extended the lifespan of over two billion square feet of roofs by several decades. All of these remarkable benefits are achieved at a significantly lower cost compared to a full roof replacement.

Benefits of Our Elastomeric Roof Repairs
Our elastomeric roof coatings offer a sustainable and cost-effective option to repair, restore, and safeguard your roofing system. With a solar reflective and waterproof barrier, they provide a reliable and renewable solution without the requirement for a complete roof teardown and replacement.
1. Superior Waterproof Barrier
Elastomeric roof coatings provide an exceptional waterproof barrier that effectively stops and prevents leaks. This advanced roofing technology creates a seamless, flexible membrane over your existing roof, sealing any cracks or gaps and protecting against water infiltration. The superior elasticity of elastomeric roof coatings allows them to expand and contract with temperature fluctuations, ensuring that your roof remains impermeable to moisture, even in challenging weather conditions.
2. White Solar Reflective Surface
The white solar reflective surface of elastomeric roof coatings significantly lowers energy costs. This reflective quality helps to bounce back solar radiation rather than absorbing it, which reduces heat buildup on the roof. As a result, your building remains cooler, and your air conditioning system works more efficiently, leading to lower energy bills. This thermal performance not only enhances comfort inside your building but also contributes to a more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly operation.
3. Sustainable and Renewable
Elastomeric roof coatings are sustainable and renewable for the duration of the roof’s useful life. These coatings are designed to be long-lasting and durable, providing a continuous protective layer that can be renewed as needed. This renewability helps to extend the lifespan of your roof, reducing the need for premature replacements and minimizing waste. By opting for elastomeric roof coatings, you contribute to sustainability efforts and reduce your overall environmental footprint.
4. Easy Maintenance
Maintaining elastomeric roof coatings is straightforward and manageable. With an annual or semiannual roof cleaning, you can ensure that the coating remains in optimal condition and continues to provide effective protection. Regular inspections and cleanings help to address any minor issues before they become major problems, extending the life of the coating and maintaining the performance of your roof.
5. Potential for Financial Incentives
Your business may qualify for various financial incentives, such as tax credits, utility rebates, and other incentives for using energy-efficient roofing solutions. These programs are designed to encourage the adoption of environmentally friendly technologies and can provide substantial savings on the initial cost of the elastomeric roof coatings. Consulting with local authorities and utility providers can help you identify and take advantage of these opportunities.
6. Non-Prorated Extendable Material Warranty
Elastomeric roof coatings often come with a non-prorated extendable material warranty. This type of warranty offers comprehensive coverage for the coating, including protection against defects and performance issues. The extendable nature of the warranty allows you to maintain coverage over an extended period, providing peace of mind and ensuring that you are protected against potential future issues.
7. EnergyStar and Cool Roofing Rating Council Rated
Elastomeric roof coatings are EnergyStar and Cool Roofing Rating Council rated, signifying their superior energy efficiency and environmental performance. These certifications indicate that the coating meets rigorous standards for reflectivity and thermal performance, ensuring that it delivers on its promise of reducing energy consumption and enhancing the sustainability of your roofing system.
8. FM Approved
Elastomeric roof coatings that are FM Approved have undergone rigorous testing and meet the high standards set by FM Approvals for fire resistance, weather performance, and overall reliability. This certification provides additional assurance of the quality and durability of the coating, making it a trusted choice for commercial and industrial applications.
