The Problem: Excessive Replacement Costs

Many commercial property owners are quoted $100k+ for roof replacements when their existing membrane is still structurally sound. A full tear-off is loud, disruptive to tenants, and environmentally wasteful.

Exterior Alliance provides a superior alternative using the CertainTeed Smart Coat silicone restoration system, saving massive capital outlay while delivering premium performance.

The Restoration Journey

From Dark Membrane to Bright White

Power washing a commercial roof
1

Deep Cleaning & Prep

We begin with a high-pressure power wash to remove years of dirt, debris, and oxidation. As seen in the progress shots, a clean surface is absolutely critical for the silicone to bond permanently.

2

Detail & Seam Sealing

Vents, HVAC curbs, and drains are the primary fail points. We apply a heavy-duty reinforced mastic to every single penetration and seam to create a monolithic, watertight barrier before the final coat goes down.

Smart Coat Application

The final step is the application of the CertainTeed High-Solids Silicone coating. This "liquid rubber" layer is 100% UV stable and ponding-water resistant, drastically lowering building cooling costs by reflecting the sun's heat.
