Three Systems — Installed Pricing
Every System is priced per square foot installed — labor and materials included. Where your roof lands within each range depends on roof type, pitch, and surface condition.
Pricing last updated August 16, 2026.
Fungal Shield (RP1)
Clear anti-fungal & anti-algae coating — roofs or walls
Fungal Shield System — Installed: 50¢–$1.45 per sq ft
Protecting a Florida tile roof from mildew and algae with the Fungal Shield System costs 50 cents to $1.45 per square foot installed, without changing the roof's existing color.
Smart Shield (RP2)
Waterproofing — tile roofs, walls & flat decks · 3,000+ colors
Smart Shield System — Installed: $1.70–$2.75 per sq ft
Painting a Spanish tile roof a dark color in Florida with the Smart Shield System costs $1.70 to $2.75 per square foot installed, using BASF Cool Pigment Technology so the dark shade reflects heat instead of absorbing it.
Roof Shield (RP3)
Full weatherproofing retrofit · Stops roof leaks · World's only TAS-106 Dade County rated coating · Written warranty coverage
Roof Shield System — Installed: $3.00–$4.75 per sq ft
Fully weatherproofing an aging tile roof in Florida with the Roof Shield System costs $3.00 to $4.75 per square foot installed — it stops roof leaks and is the only system with Dade County TAS-106 hurricane wind-uplift certification.
All prices include labor & materials. Minor restoration on flat decks and seam taping included where designated.
Variance based on warranty type, pitch, access difficulty, and surface condition. Exact pricing finalized after a free onsite assessment.
Barrel tile square footage tip: Take your interior sq ft under air × 1.20 for barrel tile (× 1.10 for flat cement tile) to estimate roof surface area.

What Affects Your Roof Coating Price?
Four main factors determine where your project lands on the factory price sheet.
Roof Type & Pitch
Flat smooth concrete tile is the quickest to coat — no valleys or ridges to fill. S-tile (barrel / Spanish tile) requires more material and labor to seal every channel, so it sits at the top of each range. Steeper pitches (5/12 and above) add a safety and access premium.
Surface Condition
A clean, sound roof with no broken tiles or exposed field spaces goes straight to application. Heavy algae, cracked mortar, or multiple broken tiles require prep work — repair costs are quoted separately and never buried in the coating price.
System Selected
Fungal Shield (RP1) is a single-coat anti-fungal application. Smart Shield (RP2) adds a BASF waterproofing coating and color. Roof Shield (RP3) is a full multi-layer rubber retrofit system — more coats, more material, more labor, and written warranty coverage. Whichever system fits your budget, the real value is the same: a professionally applied coating adds 15–25 more years of roof life at a fraction of replacement cost.
Roof Size & Access
Larger roofs benefit from economies of scale — the per-square-foot rate can decrease as total area grows. Difficult access (minimal setback, pool enclosures directly below, or second-story overhangs) adds a modest surcharge that is always disclosed up front.
Roof Coating vs. Full Replacement: A Cost Comparison
A full roof replacement in South Florida comes with permit fees, dumpster haul-away, and weeks of scheduling lag with a roofing crew. Our coating systems deliver a fully waterproofed, color-coated, warranty-backed tile roof at a fraction of replacement cost — typically 60–70% less.
The structural tile underneath a coated roof is also left intact. Tear-offs remove decades of good tile along with the bad. Coating restores, seals, and recolors the existing surface — nothing goes to the landfill, and there's no waiting on back-ordered tile to match an aging style. For roofs that are structurally sound but cosmetically aged or beginning to show water intrusion, coating is almost always the more cost-effective path.
Not every roof is a coating candidate. Our free onsite assessment tells you plainly whether coating is the right call or whether the deck has deteriorated beyond what a surface system can address. We'd rather tell you that up front than sell you a coating that won't last.
