Elastomeric • Silicone • Acrylic • Cool Roof Rated • Extend Membrane Life 5–15 Years
Roof coating is a legitimate and often cost-effective strategy for extending the service life of flat and low-slope roofing systems in Jacksonville — when applied to the right candidate and by a contractor who uses the right product. JK Prestige Constructor Corp offers elastomeric, silicone, and acrylic coating systems for TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing. A coating is appropriate when the underlying membrane is structurally sound, has no significant subsurface moisture, and has 5–15 years of life remaining that coating can extend. It is not appropriate when the membrane has widespread failure, moisture saturation, or structural deficiencies — in those cases, replacement is the only responsible recommendation. We perform core cuts and moisture scans before recommending coating to confirm eligibility. Coating typically costs $2–$5 per square foot installed, compared to $5–$12 for membrane replacement — the economics are compelling when the system qualifies. Free inspection, written recommendation.
"Every roof we install is backed by the strongest warranty in the industry and installed by crews who trained to OSHA 30 standards. Jacksonville homeowners deserve that level of care." — R. Okafor, Director of Roofing, JK Prestige Constructor Corp
Water-based acrylic elastomeric coatings (Henry, Tremco, GAF) for modified bitumen and built-up roofing. High elongation (200-400%) accommodates thermal movement without cracking. White or light gray color provides significant heat reflection. Cost $2–$3.50/sqft.
Solvent-based silicone coatings for TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen. Superior UV resistance and does not re-emulsify in ponding water. Ideal for roofs with drainage issues where water stands for short periods. Cost $3–$5/sqft.
Water-based acrylic systems for slope roofs and protected membrane applications. Florida Energy Code compliant cool-roof ratings available. Best performance on well-drained surfaces. Less resistant to ponding water than silicone.
Core cuts and probe testing to confirm no subsurface moisture before coating. Coating applied over wet insulation will delaminate within one season. We will not coat a roof that does not qualify — it is not in your long-term interest.
Every project starts with a free inspection and written estimate. Nothing begins without your written approval.
Full assessment of your roof system. Written findings report within 48 hours. Photography included.
Itemized estimate with product specifications, labor, and timeline. We present options where applicable.
Florida-approved materials ordered. We confirm all products have current Florida Product Approval before ordering.
Certified crews follow manufacturer installation specs exactly. Surrounding areas protected. Daily site cleanup.
Before-and-after photography. Warranty documentation. Follow-up call at 30 days. Manufacturer warranty registered in your name.
Coating is appropriate when: the membrane is structurally sound, has no subsurface moisture, and has 5–15 years of remaining life that coating can extend. Replacement is appropriate when: the membrane has widespread failure, moisture saturation, or structural issues. We perform a substrate assessment and give you an honest recommendation.
Elastomeric coatings typically run $2–$3.50 per square foot installed. Silicone coatings run $3–$5 per square foot. On a 5,000 square foot commercial roof, this is $10,000–$25,000 compared to $25,000–$60,000 for membrane replacement. When the system qualifies, the economics are compelling.
A properly applied elastomeric coating over sound substrate in Florida typically provides 5–10 years of additional membrane life. Silicone coatings typically provide 10–15 years. UV exposure in Florida is more intense than in northern states, and products are rated accordingly.
Coating is not a substitute for membrane repair. Active leaks must be repaired before coating. Coating applied over active leaks traps water and accelerates failure. We repair all leaks and seal all seams before any coating application.
Many white and light-colored elastomeric and silicone coatings carry Florida Energy Code cool-roof ratings, which can qualify buildings for energy tax incentives and reduce cooling costs significantly. We identify qualifying products for each project.
