Gorilla Roofing specializes in commercial roof coatings and waterproofing, extending roof life, reducing energy costs, and protecting your building from leaks, UV damage, and daily wear.
A commercial roof is an investment meant to last decades, but sun, rain, and foot traffic steadily erode even the best materials. Roof coatings and waterproofing are like a suit of armor for your building. They protect the roof you already have, reduce energy costs, and push off replacement for years. Gorilla Roofing specializes in coating and waterproofing systems that extend the life of your roof while giving you peace of mind.
Every day your roof is exposed to ultraviolet rays, wind, and temperature swings. Tiny cracks open in the surface, seams loosen, and water starts to creep in. A professionally applied coating seals out the elements, reflects heat, and adds a new protective layer without the cost of a full replacement. Waterproofing reinforces weak points around penetrations, drains, and parapet walls — the places leaks start.
At Gorilla Roofing we approach coatings and waterproofing as more than a quick fix. We evaluate your entire roof system, recommend the right product for your building, and apply it under strict quality standards so it performs the way manufacturers intend.
This process ensures the system performs as promised and gives you predictable results.
When you call Gorilla Roofing for a coating or waterproofing project, we:
Conduct a detailed inspection of your roof.
Test adhesion and moisture levels to confirm it’s a good candidate for coating.
Prepare the surface — cleaning, repairing, and priming as needed.
Apply the selected coating or waterproofing system to manufacturer specifications.
Perform a quality check and provide a written maintenance plan.
A well-chosen coating or waterproofing system can turn an aging roof into a strong, energy-saving asset. Gorilla Roofing brings experience, training, and a commitment to craftsmanship so you can protect your building without the cost and disruption of a full replacement. Schedule a consultation today and see how our team can extend the life of your roof and save you money year after year.
Coatings and waterproofing can look easy, but proper application is technical work. Gorilla Roofing’s crews are factory-trained and certified by leading manufacturers. That means your warranty stays valid and your roof receives the right coverage thickness, seam treatment, and cure time.
We also understand the business side. We schedule work to minimize impact on your operations, communicate clearly with your facility team, and deliver documentation for your records. Our goal is to make your roof one less thing you have to worry about.
Coatings protect the surface; waterproofing goes deeper. Our crews seal seams, flashing, penetrations, and transitions — the places water actually gets in. For some buildings, we install full liquid-applied membranes that create a seamless, monolithic waterproof barrier over the existing roof. This approach is especially valuable for complicated rooflines, older structures, or areas with chronic leaks.
Not all coatings are created equal. Gorilla Roofing installs and maintains all major commercial coating systems, including:
Acrylic Coatings: Economical, reflective, and easy to maintain for many low-slope roofs.
Silicone Coatings: Outstanding weather resistance and ponding water tolerance.
Polyurethane Coatings: High impact resistance for roofs with heavy foot traffic.
Asphalt Emulsion Coatings: Added protection for built-up and modified bitumen roofs.
Each type has its own strengths. We match the chemistry to your roof’s membrane and your building’s environment to ensure a long-lasting bond.
Investing in a coating or waterproofing system delivers measurable returns:
Extended Roof Life: Adds 10–15 years of service in many cases.
Lower Energy Costs: Reflective coatings reduce heat gain and cut cooling expenses.
Tax Advantages: In some jurisdictions coatings are considered maintenance, not capital expense.
Minimal Disruption: Application is faster and quieter than a full tear-off.
Sustainability: Reduces landfill waste by reusing the existing roof system.
Gorilla Roofing documents the entire process so you have proof of maintenance and warranty coverage for insurers and future buyers.
No. Roofs with saturated insulation or severe structural damage may require replacement. Gorilla Roofing will test and advise you honestly.
Most projects finish in days, not weeks. Timing depends on roof size, preparation needed, and weather.
When installed by certified contractors like Gorilla Roofing, coatings typically extend or renew warranty coverage.
