Thompson Roofing Services handles rubber roof coating applications across High Point, NC.
We’ve been sealing flat and low-slope roofs for commercial buildings and homes since we started in the business, and the process hasn’t changed much, because it works.
A properly applied rubber coating extends the life of your existing roof membrane and prevents leaks before they spread through your ceiling.
Most property owners don’t think about their roof until water shows up inside. By then, you’re looking at repairs that could’ve been prevented. Rubber coatings create a seamless barrier over your existing membrane, whether it’s EPDM, TPO, or metal.
The coating flexes with temperature changes instead of cracking; this is important during Piedmont summers, when your roof surface routinely hits 160 degrees by mid-afternoon, then cools by 40 degrees overnight.
Water damage is the obvious one. But you’re also protecting against UV degradation, which is what actually kills most roof membranes in the Piedmont region.
Energy costs drop too. White or light-colored rubber coatings reflect heat instead of absorbing it, which means your HVAC system isn’t working as hard.
The biggest thing is buying time. A coating job costs a fraction of a full roof replacement and gives you another 10 to 15 years.
Call 336-495-2598 for a rubber roof coating estimate.
When Your Roof Needs Rubber Coating in High Point
Not every roof needs coating right away. But if you’re seeing any of these signs, you’re already behind schedule:
Ponding water that sits for more than 48 hours after rain
Visible cracks in the membrane or along seam edges
Blistering or bubbling under the surface layer
Faded or chalky surface that’s lost its original color
Small punctures from hail, branches, or rooftop equipment
We coat warehouse roofs whose membranes are 15 or more years old and are starting to dry out. The coating can buy them another decade.
We can also work on newer commercial buildings in the furniture district that just need protection before UV damage sets in. The key is catching it before moisture gets through to the decking.
How We Apply Rubber Roof Coatings
First step is cleaning the entire roof surface. Pressure washing, scraping off loose material, and letting everything dry completely. Can’t coat over dirt or standing water; it won’t bond properly and you’ll be calling us back in six months.
Next, we repair any existing damage. Torn seams get patched. Blisters get cut out and sealed. If your roof has soft spots from water intrusion, we fix those sections before any coating goes on. Some contractors skip this part. We don’t.
The actual coating application happens in two passes. First coat goes on at about 1.5 gallons per 100 square feet. Once that cures, usually 24 hours depending on temperature and humidity, we apply the second coat.
That’s when you get the full thickness and the warranty coverage. We use an elastomeric acrylic formula that stays flexible down to about 20 degrees and up past 180. Handles the expansion and contraction that happens on flat roofs through NC‘s freeze-thaw cycles in winter and brutal heat in summer.
Final step is sealing all the penetrations. Vents, HVAC units, skylights; anything sticking through your roof gets an extra coating and reinforcing fabric. Those spots fail first if they’re not done right.
