When it comes to protecting your property, the roof is your biggest investment and first line of defense. Our team has seen countless projects where a simple upgrade made a huge difference, short and long-term. One of the best upgrades DeRamus Construction Services recommends is applying silicone roof coatings. These coatings offer incredible protection and longevity for both residential and commercial roofs, as well as travel trailers. Let's dive in to why silicone roof coatings are the next big thing in roofing.


Why Silicone Roof Coatings Are a Game-Changer


Silicone roof coatings stand out because they provide a seamless, durable barrier against the elements. Unlike traditional roofing materials, silicone coatings create a flexible, waterproof layer that resists cracking and peeling. This means your roof stays intact longer, even under intense weather conditions.


Here’s what makes silicone coatings so effective:


  • Superior waterproofing: Silicone repels water, preventing leaks and water damage.

  • UV resistance: It reflects sunlight, reducing heat buildup and protecting the roof from sun damage.

  • Flexibility: Silicone expands and contracts with temperature changes, preventing cracks.

  • Easy application: It can be applied over existing roofs, saving time and money on tear-offs.


These benefits translate into fewer repairs, lower energy bills, and a longer roof lifespan. That’s why DeRamus Construction Services always recommend silicone roof coatings for clients who want lasting results.

The Benefits of Silicone Coatings for Your Property


Let’s dive deeper into the specific benefits you can expect when you choose silicone roof coatings for your home or business.


1. Extended Roof Life


Silicone coatings protect your roof from damage caused by water, UV rays, and temperature swings. This protection extends the life of your roof by years. Instead of facing costly replacements every decade, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your roof is shielded.


2. Energy Efficiency


Silicone coatings reflect sunlight, which helps keep your building cooler. This reduces the need for air conditioning and lowers your energy bills. With the Louisiana and Texas summer heatwaves, this benefit alone can save you thousands over time.


3. Cost-Effective Maintenance


Applying a silicone coating is more affordable than replacing your roof. Plus, it reduces the frequency of repairs. When you work with a trusted and certified contractor, you get a high-quality application that maximizes these savings.


4. Environmentally Friendly


Silicone coatings are a green choice. They reduce waste by extending the life of your existing roof and improve energy efficiency, lowering your carbon footprint.


5. Quick and Clean Installation


The application process is fast and non-invasive. You won’t have to deal with the mess and disruption of a full roof replacement. This means little to no downtime for your business or home.

How We Ensure Quality in Every Silicone Roof Coating Project


As a full-service general contractor, DeRamus Construction focuses on delivering quality work from start to finish. Here’s how we approach every silicone roof coating project to guarantee top-quality results:


  • Thorough inspection: We assess your roof’s condition to identify any repairs needed before coating.

  • Surface preparation: Cleaning and priming the roof ensures the coating adheres properly.

  • Expert application: Our team uses professional techniques and equipment for an even, durable coating.

  • Final inspection: We check every inch to confirm the coating meets our high standards.


This attention to detail ensures your roof coating performs well and lasts for years. We don’t cut corners because your satisfaction and the longevity of your roof matter most.


Practical Tips for Maintaining Your Silicone Roof Coating


Once your roof is coated, maintenance is simple but important. Here are some tips to keep your silicone roof coating in top shape:


  1. Regular inspections: Check your roof twice a year and after major storms.

  2. Clean debris: Remove leaves, branches, and dirt to prevent damage to the coating.

  3. Address damage promptly: If you notice cracks or blisters, call your contractor immediately.

  4. Avoid foot traffic: Limit walking on the roof to prevent wear and tear.

  5. Schedule professional check-ups: Have your contractor inspect the coating every few years.


Following these steps will help you maximize the benefits of your silicone roof coating and protect your investment.
