Roof coatings
that extend flat-roof life.

Extends roof life 10–20 years at fraction of replacement cost

Full flat roof replacement in the Bay Area costs $7 to $14 per square foot. Coating costs $3 to $7. On a 5,000 square foot building, that is a savings of $20,000 to $35,000 up front.

Coating is often the smartest money move for two groups. The first is commercial owners who want to delay a big expense. The second is homeowners with an addition that is not yet due for a new roof.

No tear-off — no disruption

Full replacement means stripping off the old roof, hauling away the debris, and rebuilding from the deck up. Coating skips the tear-off step completely. In occupied buildings, we can often coat one section at a time. That keeps tenants and operations below running with little disruption.

Energy savings from reflective coatings

White silicone and acrylic coatings reflect sunlight. On a flat roof in Stockton or Tracy, a white coating can drop the surface temperature by 50 to 80°F compared to a bare black rubber roof. Less heat on the roof means lower cooling costs inside.

Many white coatings meet Title 24 (California's energy code) cool-roof rules. Some owners earn back part of the coating cost through lower power bills in the first few years.

Seamless renewal without warranty gaps

A coating done right comes with its own warranty. For silicone, that is usually 10 to 15 years. When a licensed contractor applies it over a well-prepped surface, you start a fresh warranty clock for a fraction of the cost of a new roof.

Honest coating-vs.-replacement decision

NuShake does not always push the bigger job. If your roof is a good fit for coating, we say so. We say it even though a full replacement is a larger contract. That honesty comes from being an owner-run company that stands behind every job.

If the roof is too far gone for coating to pay off, we tell you that too. We back it up with what we found in the inspection. You will not get a surprise "you need a new roof" call after coating has already started.

Leak identification before coating

One of the most common coating failures comes from coating over an existing leak. The coating traps water inside and rots the roof from below.

NuShake finds and repairs all leaks before any coating goes on. Brian spent years on crews before he owned the company. He knows where flat roofs fail and where to find leaks you cannot see from the surface.

5 certifications — manufacturer-standard products

GAF Master Elite, GAF Solar Certified, GAF Gold Elite, CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster, and Owens Corning Preferred. These certifications require us to use maker-approved products and follow the maker's steps. You are not getting off-brand coating applied at half the right thickness.

Commercial corridor experience

The Stockton-Tracy-Manteca corridor is full of flat-roofed commercial and warehouse buildings. NuShake serves this area and knows the cost pressures of keeping commercial roofs up. We work with building managers on phased coating plans that keep disruption low for occupied buildings.
