What Is Silicone Coating?

Silicone Roof Restoration Explained

Silicone roof coating is a high-solids liquid silicone applied over an existing flat roof to restore waterproofing, reflectivity, and service life — without a full tear-off. It bonds directly to modified bitumen, EPDM, TPO, and BUR substrates, cures into a seamless rubber-like membrane, and handles the one thing most roof systems can’t: ponding water. For Hudson County flat roof owners with sound substrates but aging surfaces, silicone restoration is a high-performance restoration alternative and adds 10-15 years of service life.

Materials We Trust

Why We Install Tri-Built 985 Silicone

Two decades of installations taught us which silicone systems hold up. Tri-Built 985 is the high-solids silicone we install — chosen for its ponding-water resistance, single-coat capability, and proven performance on Northeast flat roofs.

High-Solids Silicone Restoration

Premium Silicone Built for Flat Roofs

Tri-Built 985 is a 100% silicone, high-solids restoration coating that doesn’t break down under UV exposure (unlike acrylic or asphalt-emulsion systems). Cures into a seamless waterproof membrane. Reflective Energy Star-rated finish lowers cooling costs in summer.

How It Works

Our Silicone Coating Process

Five steps from first call to final inspection. Silicone restoration is faster than tear-off — most projects complete in a single day per 1,500 sq ft.

Site Assessment

On-site inspection. We evaluate substrate condition, existing leaks, ponding patterns, and seam integrity to confirm silicone is the right call.

Pressure Wash

Full-roof pressure wash to remove dirt, biological growth, and loose granules. Silicone bonds best to a clean substrate.

Repair & Prime

Patch existing punctures, reinforce seams with embedded fabric where needed, and prime substrate per Tri-Built spec.

Apply Silicone

Apply Tri-Built 985 high-solids silicone with rollers and sprayers per manufacturer’s mil-thickness spec. Full cure in 24-48 hours.

Frequently Asked

Silicone Coating FAQ

A professionally installed silicone roof coating system can typically last around 10-15 years or longer depending on roof condition, coating thickness, drainage, surface preparation, and maintenance. The existing roof must be properly cleaned, detailed, and reinforced before coating so the silicone bonds correctly. One major advantage of silicone restoration is that the roof can often be cleaned and recoated again later without a full tear-off if the system remains in good condition.
Yes. Silicone coating can often be applied over an existing torch-down or modified bitumen roof when the roof is still structurally sound, dry, and properly prepared. This is one of the most common restoration options Gaby Roofing recommends for aging Hudson County flat roofs that do not yet need full replacement. The key is surface preparation, seam reinforcement, penetration detailing, and confirming that the existing roof is a good candidate before coating begins.
Silicone performs much better under ponding water conditions than many other roof coating systems, which is why it is commonly used on low-slope flat roofs throughout Hudson County. That said, drainage still matters. Gaby Roofing evaluates ponding areas, drains, scuppers, seams, and low spots before recommending silicone so the system is installed over a roof that is suitable for restoration.
White reflective silicone coatings can help reduce roof surface temperatures during the summer, which may improve comfort and energy efficiency for top-floor units and buildings with limited roof insulation. The bright white surface reflects sunlight more effectively than a dark, aging flat roof membrane. For many Hudson County property owners, silicone is attractive because it combines waterproofing restoration with a cooler, more reflective roof surface.
Silicone coating systems are very repairable when damage is caught early. Small punctures, cuts, or worn areas can often be cleaned, reinforced with fabric when needed, and re-coated with additional silicone. Gaby Roofing recommends periodic inspections after major storms, rooftop work, or heavy foot traffic so small issues can be corrected before they become active leaks.
