Silicone Roof Coating
Silicone roof coating is a liquid-applied, moisture-cured membrane that creates a seamless, UV-resistant, waterproof surface over existing commercial flat roofs.
Silicone is the premium roof coating choice for DFW commercial properties because it handles ponding water without degradation — unlike acrylic coatings that re-emulsify when submerged. Silicone coatings reflect up to 85% of UV radiation, reducing roof surface temperature by 50-60°F and cutting cooling costs significantly. Application costs $2-5 per square foot compared to $6-14 for full membrane replacement. JRH Construction applies silicone coatings on TPO, EPDM, metal, and built-up roofs throughout Dallas-Fort Worth.

A roof coating is a liquid-applied membrane (typically silicone, acrylic, or polyurethane) that creates a seamless waterproof layer over an existing commercial roof surface.
Cool Roof
A cool roof is any roofing system designed to reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat than a standard roof, reducing building cooling costs.
Ponding Water
Ponding water is standing water that remains on a flat roof for more than 48 hours after the last rainfall, indicating a drainage problem.
