Restore Your Home’s Flat Roof Sections
The flat and low-slope sections on a Florida home — lanais, additions, carports, and mid-century flat roofs — age out faster than the rest of the roof and leak at the seams. Premium Roofing restores them with a Florida Building Code-approved 100% silicone coating: no tear-off, a cooler home, and a manufacturer-backed warranty up to 20 years.
Where Flat Roof Coatings Fit
Most homes have at least one flat or low-slope section that needs a different solution than the main roof.
Florida Rooms & Lanais
The low-slope roofs over Florida rooms, lanais, and screen enclosures are the most common flat sections that age out first. A silicone coating re-waterproofs them seamlessly without disturbing the rest of your roof.
Room Additions & Carports
Additions, carports, and covered porches are often tied in with flat or low-slope roofing that was never built to the same standard as the main roof. Coating renews them and seals the transition where they meet the house.
Mid-Century & Modern Flat Homes
Flat-roof and modern homes across Sarasota, Siesta Key, and Longboat Key need a system built for ponding water and intense UV. Silicone is the right chemistry to keep these roofs watertight for years.
Aging Mod-Bit & Single-Ply
If your flat section is a sound but weathered modified-bitumen or single-ply roof, a coating bonds directly over it — restoring the surface and adding years of life without a tear-off.
Why a Silicone Coating
For a sound flat roof with remaining life, restoration beats replacement on cost, mess, and performance.
No Tear-Off, Less Cost, Less Mess
A restoration coating goes directly over a sound existing flat roof, so there is no demolition, no dumpster in the driveway, and no exposed deck. It is a meaningfully smaller project than ripping the roof off and starting over.
Stops Leaks at the Source
Flat roofs leak at seams, laps, and penetrations. Because the silicone is fluid-applied and self-leveling, it flows into those exact spots and cures into one continuous, seamless membrane — no seams left to split.
A Cooler, More Efficient Home
The coating cures to a reflective white (0.87 solar reflectivity, SRI 110) that bounces heat off your roof instead of into the rooms below — easing your AC through the Florida summer and lowering cooling bills.
Made for Ponding Water
Low-slope residential roofs rarely drain perfectly. 100% silicone stays watertight under the ponding conditions that break down ordinary acrylic and asphalt coatings — the right choice for Florida flats.
A Warranty That Transfers When You Sell
Beyond our workmanship warranty, your coated roof carries a material-and-labor warranty issued and backed by the manufacturer (Tropical Roofing Products, a SOPREMA company) in 10, 15, and 20-year terms. The manufacturer’s inspector signs off on the finished roof, and if you sell the home the warranty can transfer to the new owner — a documented upgrade that adds value at resale.
Our Process
A coating is only as good as the prep beneath it — here is how we deliver a watertight, warrantable roof.
Inspection & Adhesion Test
We check your flat section for moisture, sound decking, and remaining life, and run an in-field adhesion test to confirm a coating is the right call — not a band-aid over a roof that needs replacing.
Clean, Repair & Reinforce
The roof is washed and dried, failed spots and wet areas are repaired, and every seam and penetration is reinforced with fabric embedded in silicone for a redundant, watertight base.
Apply the Silicone Coating
The 100% silicone system is applied at the specified thickness, curing to a smooth, reflective, seamless membrane bonded directly to your existing roof.
Inspection & Backed Warranty
The manufacturer’s inspector verifies the work, and your roof is covered by a manufacturer-backed warranty — up to 20 years, and transferable if you sell the home.
