Silicone roof coating for commercial roofs
Liquid silicone goes over the roof you already have and cures into one seamless, waterproof layer, with no tear-off. Headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, we’ve coated roofs from condo buildings to the 585,357 sq ft Port of Jacksonville warehouse.

Coat it or replace it?
If the roof is worn but sound, coat it
A coating doesn’t rescue a failing roof. It seals one that still has years in it, so you skip the tear-off, the dumpsters and the cost of starting over.
“We had an aging asphalt roof on our commercial warehouse. After having a couple leaks repaired we realized the roof was still in pretty good shape. We contacted Polo international to cover the roof with their system… The product is going to extend the life of the roof for many years to come.”
A good fit for a coating
- Built-up, modified bitumen and single-ply roofs (TPO, EPDM, PVC) that are aging but dry underneath.
- Metal and concrete roofs. Silicone bonds to both and seals them in one layer.
- Flat roofs where water sits. Silicone stands up to ponding water and strong sun.
- Spray foam roofs due for a recoat. A fresh silicone coat renews the foam’s topcoat.
- Buildings that have to stay open. The work happens on the roof, with no tear-off.
When a coating isn’t enough
- Wet insulation. Wet areas get cut out and replaced first. If most of the roof is wet, a full replacement makes more sense.
- A damaged deck. It has to be repaired before anything goes on top.
- A hot top floor. A coating alone won’t add insulation. Spray foam does: inch for inch, it’s one of the most insulating materials in roofing.

Four steps, and the old roof stays put
1
We look at the roof first
We walk it, find any wet or damaged areas and send a written quote with the system and the price.
2
Wet spots come out
Wet insulation or damaged deck gets cut out and replaced, so the coating goes over a dry, solid roof.
3
Clean, then seal the details
We pressure-wash the roof, then seal the seams, the flashing, every pipe and the raised curbs that hold rooftop equipment.
4
Silicone goes on
Liquid silicone goes on as one seamless layer and cures into a waterproof membrane that stands up to ponding water and the sun.

In their words
Owners noticed tidy crews and work done right
“We hired Polo International to put a new silicone roof on our newest commercial building, and they did a great job. The roof looks great, and he also helped the permit process along as well.”
“The team did a great job on the roof coating project for our commercial property. They kept us updated, provided photos once the work was completed… The rain caused minor unfortunate delays, but they pulled through and got the job done.”
“Polo International Roofing exceeded our expectations with their exceptional service on our commercial space’s silicone roof… they also completed our project ahead of schedule.”
“We recently contracted Polo International to seal coat the flat roofs for our clubhouse. Not only was the work completed in a timely manner, the workers kept the workspace tidy and were very reliable.”
“Polo International did [an] excellent job coating our 40 unit condo flat roof. A very professional company and did what was expected from a roofing company.”
Warranty and upkeep
A warranty in writing, and a coat you can renew
20years: our longest labor and material warranty on a coating. Your written proposal names your roof’s term.
When the coating wears
- A worn coat doesn’t mean a new roof. The roof gets cleaned and recoated.
- Between coats, the maintenance program washes the roof and reseals any spot that needs it.
- Covered leaks during the program are checked within three business days, weather permitting.

Does a silicone roof coating really work?
On the right roof, yes. Silicone cures into one seamless, waterproof membrane over the roof you have, and it holds up to ponding water and strong sun. It works when the roof underneath is still dry and solid. That’s what our inspection checks before we quote.
What kinds of roofs can you coat?
Built-up, modified bitumen, metal, concrete and single-ply roofs (TPO, EPDM and PVC), plus spray foam roofs due for a fresh topcoat. Flat and low-slope roofs are where silicone does its best work.
Can silicone handle ponding water?
Yes. Silicone stands up to water that sits on a flat roof. Where water pools deep after every rain, we can build up the low spots with spray foam first so the roof drains.
How long does a silicone roof coating last?
Our silicone roofs come with a labor and material warranty of up to 20 years, and your written proposal names the term. When the coating wears, the roof is cleaned and recoated rather than torn off, so a roof that’s kept up keeps going.
What are the downsides of a silicone coating?
It won’t fix a roof that’s wet or rotten underneath: those areas come out first, and a mostly wet roof needs replacing. It needs dry weather to go on, so rain can move the schedule. And a coating alone won’t add insulation; spray foam does.
Does the building have to close during the work?
Usually not. The work happens on the roof and there’s no tear-off, so a store, office or warehouse can keep running below.
What does a silicone roof coating cost?
It depends on the roof’s size and condition, how many wet areas need replacing and how much detail work it needs. Because the old roof stays, there’s no tear-off or haul-away to pay for. We inspect first, then send a written quote with the price before any work starts.
