Turning aging commercial roofs into long-term assets.
We help building owners across the Midwest extend the life of flat and low-slope roofs with high-performance liquid-applied systems—often for 40–70% less than full replacement.
For commercial & industrial roofs typically 10–35+ years old across the Midwest region.
Tear-Off & Replace
Full removal, dumpsters, new insulation, new membrane, major disruption.
Cap-ex heavy. Landfill-intensive. Parts of the building offline.
Liquid-Applied System
Existing roof stays in place. Seams and penetrations detailed and sealed.
Fast install. Minimal disruption. Warranties up to 20 years.
We help you decide when to restore—and when you truly need to replace.
Stop defaulting to tear-offs. Start thinking restoration first.
Liquid-applied roofing builds a seamless, watertight membrane directly over your existing system. Less disruption, less waste, and a smarter way to manage capital improvements.
40–70% lower up-front cost
Avoid major tear-off, landfill fees, and heavy labor. Coating systems commonly land in the $7–$10 / sq ft range depending on prep, details, and warranty length.
Minimal business disruption
Most projects happen with tenants and operations ongoing. No full tear-off, no exposed deck, and fewer weather-risk days.
Seamless, reflective protection
We target leaks at seams, rusted fasteners, penetrations, and ponding areas, then build a monolithic coating layer that moves with the building.
Coating vs replacement: what it really looks like on paper.
Every roof is different—but the math tends to rhyme. Here’s how restoration stacks up against a traditional rip-and-replace on most aging commercial roofs.
- Existing roof removed and landfilled
- New insulation package + code upgrades
- New membrane or panels installed
- Heavy equipment, dumpsters, staging
- Portions of building offline during work
- Existing roof remains in place
- Seams, penetrations, and trouble spots detailed
- High-performance coating creates a new membrane
- Far less waste, noise, and disruption
- Manufacturer warranties commonly 10–20 years
Is your roof a candidate—and what happens if it is?
Not every roof can be saved. Our job is to give you a clear, honest picture—and a restoration plan that makes sense when it can.
Roofs that are perfect for coating.
- Flat or low-slope roofs roughly 10–35+ years old.
- Leaks mainly at seams, fasteners, penetrations, or terminations.
- Metal roofs with rust but sound structure and panels.
- EPDM, TPO, PVC, mod-bit, or BUR with UV wear, chalking, or alligatoring.
- Insulation that tests dry or with isolated wet areas we can surgically repair.
- Owners who want to extend life, not trigger a full replacement cycle.
What it’s like to work with Midwest’s Liquid Roofer.
Aerial review, on-roof inspection, and moisture testing where appropriate.
Clear comparison of restoration vs replacement with ranges and warranty paths.
Cleaning, repairs, seam reinforcement, penetration details, rust treatment.
High-performance liquid-applied system installed to manufacturer specs.
Photos, specs, and paperwork for your files, lender, insurer, or board.
From faded, leaking, and tired—to clean, bright, and watertight.
Built for Midwest weather—and Midwest buildings.
We focus on the Midwest region so we can design systems that actually match your climate, snow loads, and seasonal temperature swings.
Ready to see if your roof can be restored instead of replaced?
Share a few details about your building and we’ll follow up with a free roof health conversation—and, if it makes sense, a site visit.

No pressure. No boiler-room sales tactics. Just a clear, data-backed look at whether a liquid-applied system makes financial and structural sense for your roof.
Ideal partners for restoration.
Facility managers, property owners, asset managers, and operators responsible for:
- Warehouses & logistics centers
- Manufacturing & industrial facilities
- Retail plazas & multi-tenant buildings
- Schools, churches, and civic buildings
- Portfolios with multiple aging roofs to evaluate
Clarity first. Coating second.
Our first job isn’t to sell you a coating—it’s to tell you, honestly, if a coating is the right move for your roof. If replacement is the smarter play, we’ll say that too.
