Roof Restoration

At WaterTight Roofing, we specialize in commercial roof restoration services designed to rejuvenate your existing roofing system, enhance its performance, and extend its lifespan. Our restoration solutions offer a cost-effective alternative to full roof replacement, minimizing disruption to your business operations while providing long-term protection.

What is Commercial Roof Restoration?

An Energy-Efficient Alternative to Roof Replacement

Roof restoration is the process of renewing an existing roofing system by repairing damaged areas and applying specialized protective coatings. Unlike a tear-off and re-roof, restoration preserves your existing structure, extending its lifespan and enhancing overall performance. WaterTight Roofing uses advanced elastomeric and silicone roof coatings to seal out water, resist UV damage, and reflect solar heat—boosting durability and efficiency.

Is Roof Restoration Right for Your Commercial Property?

If your building's roof shows signs of aging—such as ponding water, surface cracking, or minor leaks—but remains structurally intact, roof restoration could be your most cost-effective option. Our team at WaterTight Roofing evaluates your roof's insulation, decking, and moisture levels to ensure restoration is viable.

Restoration is ideal for:

  • Flat or low-slope roofs with reflective coating potential
  • Aging roofs that still have structural integrity
  • Building owners seeking to reduce cooling costs and delay replacement

Benefits of Roof Restoration

  • Cost-Effective Solution: One of the most compelling reasons to choose roof restoration over replacement is its affordability. Restoration typically requires fewer materials, less labor, and reduced disposal costs because the existing roof system remains largely intact. For property owners working within a capital budget or aiming to improve their ROI, restoration offers substantial savings without sacrificing protection or performance.

  • Minimal Disruption: Unlike full roof replacements—which can involve demolition, loud equipment, and temporary closures—restoration is a far less disruptive process. Our crews work quickly and efficiently to minimize impact on your daily operations. In most cases, your business can continue to operate without interruption, reducing downtime and preserving tenant satisfaction.

  • Enhanced Energy Efficiency: Many commercial roof coatings used in restoration are highly reflective, meaning they deflect a significant portion of the sun's heat away from your building. This helps reduce rooftop temperatures and lowers the strain on HVAC systems, resulting in improved indoor comfort and measurable savings on cooling costs, particularly during hot Texas summers.

  • Extended Roof Lifespan: A properly restored roof can gain an additional 10 to 15 years of service life, providing long-term protection without the need for full replacement. Restoration addresses current issues such as leaks and weathering, while reinforcing the structure to withstand future wear. It's an ideal solution for building owners looking to delay large capital expenditures while maintaining performance.

  • Environmental Responsibility: Roof restoration is a more sustainable alternative to replacement because it repurposes your existing roof system rather than tearing it off and sending materials to a landfill. This reduces construction waste, conserves resources, and lowers your building's environmental impact—all while contributing to green building initiatives and potential LEED credits.

Our Roof Restoration Process

At WaterTight Roofing, we follow a proven restoration process designed to maximize the longevity, performance, and value of your existing roof. Every step is completed with precision and attention to detail to ensure long-term results.

Comprehensive Inspection

Every successful restoration begins with a thorough inspection. Our experienced team carefully evaluates your entire roofing system—membranes, seams, flashing, insulation, and drainage components—to determine the current condition and identify signs of wear, water intrusion, or structural vulnerabilities. This evaluation helps us confirm whether your roof is a viable candidate for restoration or if more extensive work is needed.

Detailed Reporting

After the inspection, we provide a comprehensive report that outlines our findings and includes photographs, moisture analysis (if applicable), and a full assessment of your roof's performance. The report includes our recommended restoration approach, estimated timelines, and material specifications tailored to your roof type and environmental conditions.

Surface Preparation

Before applying any restoration materials, we perform a critical cleaning and preparation phase. This involves removing debris, power-washing dirt and contaminants, addressing any biological growth like algae or mildew, and ensuring the surface is completely dry and free of loose materials. Proper surface prep is essential for ensuring the new coatings adhere properly and perform as intended.

Targeted Repairs

With the roof cleaned and prepped, we make precise repairs to any areas showing damage. This can include sealing minor cracks or punctures, reinforcing seams, replacing deteriorated flashing, and correcting drainage issues. By resolving these vulnerabilities before coating, we ensure a watertight, structurally sound base for restoration.

Application of Protective Coatings

Once repairs are complete, we apply high-performance, elastomeric or silicone-based coatings that not only seal the surface but also enhance energy efficiency by reflecting UV rays. These coatings protect your roof from weather, temperature extremes, ponding water, and mechanical wear—essentially forming a seamless waterproof barrier over the entire system.

Final Inspection

After the restoration is complete, our team conducts a detailed final inspection to verify that every step has been executed to our high standards. We test seams, drains, flashing transitions, and the uniformity of the coating. If any touch-ups are needed, we address them immediately to ensure your roof is fully protected and compliant with all manufacturer guidelines.

This comprehensive process is what sets WaterTight Roofing apart as a trusted commercial roof restoration expert. We don't just patch problems—we renew the roof system to extend its lifespan, enhance its performance, and deliver lasting peace of mind for building owners and property managers alike.

Why Should You Invest In Roof Restoration?

Roof restoration offers far more than surface-level improvement—it's a strategic investment in the longevity, efficiency, and performance of your commercial property. Here's why restoration with WaterTight Roofing makes sense:

Seamless Flexibility: Our restoration system expands and contracts with your roof panels as temperatures fluctuate, maintaining a strong, watertight seal without the stress cracking or separation seen in less advanced systems.

Leak Prevention and Protection: We don't just patch over problems—our restoration process stops existing leaks and proactively prevents future ones by reinforcing vulnerable areas and sealing out moisture.

Superior UV Resistance: The advanced coatings we apply are engineered with UV-blocking properties that reflect a large percentage of the sun's rays. This reduces thermal shock, slows down material degradation, and protects your roof from sun-related damage over time.

Energy Savings: By lowering the surface temperature of your roof, our reflective coatings reduce heat transfer into the building, cutting cooling costs—especially during peak summer months. Over time, these savings can have a significant impact on your operating expenses.

No Tear-Off Required: Unlike a full replacement, our restoration process requires no roof removal. That means zero downtime, no noisy demolition, and no disruption to your daily business operations. It's fast, clean, and cost-efficient.

Backed by a 10-Year Warranty: We stand behind our work with a robust 10-year warranty, giving you the confidence that your investment is protected and your roof is ready to perform for years to come.

If you're looking for a long-term, budget-friendly, and non-disruptive solution to aging roof problems, restoration is the smart choice—and WaterTight Roofing is the team to trust.

The Temperature Difference with Elastomeric Coating

Here at WaterTight, we use a heat gun to measure the temperature difference across the expanse of your commercial roof. These images show the temperatures before and after the elastomeric coating for roof restoration was applied. It was an 84-degree day when these pictures were taken. Notice how much cooler the roof is after the coating is applied. This translates to cooler temperatures inside the building which, in turn, translates to lower energy costs.
