Frequently Asked Questions
What is a silicone roof coating?
A silicone roof coating is a protective layer applied to existing roofs to extend their lifespan and enhance durability. It's typically made from silicone polymers and is designed to provide waterproofing and weather resistance.
How does silicone roof coating compare to traditional roof replacement?
Silicone roof coating offers a cost-effective alternative to full roof replacement. Instead of tearing off the existing roof, silicone coating can be applied directly over it, saving time and money.
What are the benefits of using silicone roof coating?
Silicone roof coating provides excellent waterproofing, UV resistance, and weather protection. It can extend the life of the roof, reduce maintenance costs, and improve energy efficiency by reflecting sunlight.
How long does silicone roof coating typically last?
Silicone roof coating can last 10-20 years or more, depending on factors such as climate, roof substrate, and application quality.
How much does silicone roof coating cost?
Silicone roof coating from BMG Exteriors starts at $2,999. We also offer a 10-year warranty! This process is less than half the cost of a roof replacement, which typically starts around $7,000.
How does silicone roof coating withstand weather elements such as rain, snow, and UV exposure?
Silicone roof coating forms a seamless, waterproof barrier that protects the underlying roof substrate from moisture, UV rays, and other weather elements. It remains flexible and durable even in extreme temperatures.
What maintenance is required after applying silicone roof coating?
Silicone roof coating requires minimal maintenance. Periodic inspections and cleaning may be necessary to remove debris and ensure optimal performance, just like with any type of roof.
Can silicone roof coating help with energy efficiency?
Yes, silicone roof coating is often more cost-effective than full roof replacement or other roofing materials. Its long lifespan, minimal maintenance requirements, and energy-saving benefits contribute to its overall cost-effectiveness.
Is silicone roof coating environmentally friendly?
Yes, silicone roof coating is considered environmentally friendly. It doesn't contain harmful chemicals like VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and can help reduce energy consumption by reflecting sunlight and reducing the need for air conditioning.

Common Causes of Roof Damage
Rain
Rain, particularly heavy or prolonged rainfall, poses a significant threat to roofs. Water infiltration can occur through compromised or missing shingles, deteriorated flashing, or damaged seals around vents and chimneys. Over time, this water intrusion can lead to rotting of roof decking, mold growth, and structural damage if left unaddressed.
Wind
Wind is another cause of roof damage, especially during storms or hurricanes. Strong gusts can uplift shingles, tear away roofing materials, and even lift entire sections of the roof if not adequately secured. Loose or improperly installed roofing materials are particularly susceptible to wind damage, making regular inspections and maintenance essential for preventing such issues.
Snow/Hail
Snow and hail also pose significant threats to roofs, particularly in colder climates. The weight of accumulated snow can exert pressure on a roof, leading to structural strain and potential collapse, especially if the roof is already compromised. Additionally, hailstorms can cause extensive damage to roofing materials, including shingles, flashing, and gutters. Hail impact can result in cracks, dents, and granule loss, compromising the roof's ability to effectively shed water and protect against further damage.
