Commercial Metal Roof Coating, Painting & Waterproofing
Stop rust, seal seams, and reflect South Florida heat with professional elastomeric metal roof coating — for warehouses, commercial buildings, and metal-roofed homes. Serving Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach Counties since 1994.
Why Coat a Metal Roof?
Metal roofs face their own set of challenges in South Florida — salt air corrosion, rust creep at cut edges and fasteners, seam leaks from daily thermal movement, and intense heat gain that drives cooling costs up.
A professional elastomeric metal roof coating system addresses all of them at once: rust-inhibiting preparation stops corrosion before it spreads, seam and fastener sealing eliminates the leak points that fail first, and a reflective top coat drops the roof surface temperature dramatically.
Applied correctly, commercial metal roof restoration extends the roof's serviceable life for a fraction of the cost of a metal roof replacement — with no tenant disruption, no tear-off, and no weeks of construction. The Roof Store has coated, painted, and waterproofed metal roofs across South Florida since 1994.
Why South Florida Homeowners Choose Metal Roof Coating
Stops rust & corrosion
Rust-inhibiting preparation and coating seal the metal surface against South Florida's salt air — stopping corrosion before it spreads.
Seals seams & fasteners
Seams, laps, and fastener heads — the points where every metal roof leaks first — are individually sealed before the field coating goes on.
Reflective heat reduction
A reflective coating dramatically lowers metal roof surface temperature — cutting heat gain and air conditioning costs for the building below.
Handles thermal movement
Metal roofs expand and contract more than any other roof type. Elastomeric coating flexes with that daily movement instead of cracking.
No replacement, no disruption
Restoration happens over the existing roof — no tear-off, no tenant disruption, and a fraction of the cost of metal roof replacement.
Commercial & residential grade
The same systems protect warehouses, strip centers, and industrial buildings as well as metal-roofed South Florida homes.
How It Works
Every job follows a structured professional process — preparation is everything.
Roof Inspection & Assessment
We assess the metal panel type and condition — rust, seam separation, fastener back-out, coating failure — and identify repairs needed before work begins. You are informed of all findings prior to the start of work.
Pressure Cleaning & Rust Treatment
The roof is pressure cleaned to remove dirt, chalking, and loose coating, and rust areas are mechanically prepared and treated with rust-inhibiting primer.
Seam & Fastener Sealing
Every seam, lap, penetration, and fastener head is individually sealed — eliminating the leak points that fail first on metal roofs.
Multi-Coat Application
The elastomeric coating is applied in multiple coats to the manufacturer's mil-thickness specification, building a seamless reflective membrane across the entire roof.
Our Metal Roof Coating Systems
For metal roofs we install SmartShield (RP2) — a reflective elastomeric coating in 3,000+ colors with BASF Cool Pigment Technology — or, where maximum waterproofing is needed, RoofShield (RP3), the original liquid applied rubber roof shield system. Both are manufactured in-house by RoofProtect Products in Davie, FL — the installer and the factory are the same company.
- SmartShield: 3,000+ tintable colors, cool-pigment reflectance, true waterproofing
- RoofShield: seamless liquid-applied rubber membrane for maximum waterproofing
- Rust-inhibiting preparation and primers for corroded panels
- Elastomeric formulas flex with metal's daily expansion and contraction
- Manufactured in-house — factory-direct pricing, no middleman markup
Metal Roof Coating — Common Questions
Can you paint or coat a rusted metal roof?
Yes — surface rust is mechanically prepared, treated with rust-inhibiting primer, and then coated. Widespread structural rust-through requires panel repairs first; every job starts with an honest inspection and you are told exactly what we find.
How much does metal roof coating save vs. replacement?
Restoring a metal roof with a professional coating system typically saves up to 50–60% compared to the cost of a complete metal roof replacement — with no tear-off and no business disruption.
Does coating stop metal roof seam leaks?
Yes — seams, laps, and fastener heads are individually sealed before the field coats go on, and the finished elastomeric membrane flexes with the roof's daily thermal movement so the seal lasts.
How much cooler is a coated metal roof?
A reflective coating can lower metal roof surface temperature dramatically — reflective cool-pigment finishes reflect sunlight and UV instead of absorbing it, reducing heat transferred into the building and lowering cooling costs.
