Shingle Roof Coating, Painting & Waterproofing
Restore and waterproof your asphalt shingle roof with professional elastomeric coating — sealing granule loss, restoring color, and extending roof life. Serving Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach Counties since 1994.
Why Coat a Shingle Roof?
Asphalt shingle is the most common roof type in Florida — and the one that ages fastest under our sun. UV exposure dries out the asphalt, granules wash into the gutters, and shingles curl, crack, and fade. Most homeowners are told the only fix is a full replacement.
There is another option. A professional-grade elastomeric shingle roof coating seals the shingle surface, locks down remaining granules, and builds a flexible waterproof membrane over the entire roof — restoring color and weather protection without a tear-off.
Applied correctly, shingle roof coating extends the serviceable life of the roof, reflects heat to lower cooling bills, and can save up to 50–60% of the cost of a full shingle roof replacement. The Roof Store has provided residential shingle roof coating, painting, and waterproofing in South Florida since 1994.
Why South Florida Homeowners Choose Shingle Roof Coating
Extends shingle roof life
Coating seals out the UV and moisture that dry, curl, and crack asphalt shingles — adding years of serviceable life to an aging roof.
Seals granule loss
The elastomeric membrane locks down remaining granules and covers exposed asphalt, stopping the wear cycle that ends in replacement.
True waterproofing
Shingle roof waterproofing creates a seamless flexible membrane across the field of the roof — sealing hairline gaps, nail heads, and worn tabs.
Restores color
Shingle roof painting with SmartShield's 3,000+ tintable colors takes a faded, blotchy shingle roof back to a uniform, like-new finish.
Reduces cooling bills
Reflective cool-pigment coating lowers roof surface temperature — dark shingle roofs are among Florida's biggest attic heat collectors.
Fraction of replacement cost
Restoring with a coating system can save up to 50–60% of the money that would otherwise go into a complete shingle roof replacement.
How It Works
Every job follows a structured professional process — preparation is everything.
Roof Inspection & Assessment
We assess shingle condition — granule loss, curling, cracked or missing tabs — and identify any repairs needed before coating. You are informed of all findings prior to the start of work.
Soft Washing & Surface Cleaning
Shingle roofs are soft-washed — never high-pressure blasted — to remove algae, mold, and dirt without stripping granules. A clean surface means maximum adhesion.
Repairs & Priming
Damaged tabs are repaired or replaced, exposed nail heads sealed, and a primer/sealer locks down the porous shingle surface so the coating bonds properly.
Multi-Coat Application
The elastomeric coating is applied in multiple coats to the manufacturer's mil-thickness specification, building a seamless flexible membrane across the entire shingle field.
Our Shingle Roof Coating System
For shingle roofs we install SmartShield (RP2) — a reflective elastomeric coating in 3,000+ colors with BASF Cool Pigment Technology, manufactured in-house by RoofProtect Products in Davie, FL. It flexes with the shingle through Florida's daily heat cycles instead of cracking like standard paint, and its anti-fungal formula stops the black streaking common on aging shingle roofs.
- SmartShield: 3,000+ tintable colors, cool-pigment reflectance, true waterproofing
- About 5× the thickness of standard roof paint — a real membrane, not a cosmetic film
- Anti-fungal, mold-resistant — stops black streaking on shingle roofs
- Elastomeric formula flexes with the roof through Florida's heat cycles
- Manufactured in-house — factory-direct pricing, no middleman markup
Shingle Roof Coating — Common Questions
Can you coat or paint an asphalt shingle roof?
Yes — with the right product and preparation. Professional elastomeric coatings like SmartShield are applied directly over asphalt shingles after soft washing, repairs, and priming. Unlike standard paint, they flex with the shingle, resist UV, and truly waterproof the surface.
How much does shingle roof coating save vs. replacement?
Restoring a shingle roof with a professional coating system typically saves up to 50–60% compared to the cost of a complete shingle roof replacement — and avoids days of tear-off construction and landfill waste.
How long does a coated shingle roof last?
A professional elastomeric application typically lasts 10–15 years in Florida depending on the system, number of coats, and roof condition at the time of application.
Is every shingle roof a candidate for coating?
No — a shingle roof with widespread structural damage, saturated decking, or extensive missing shingles may need repairs first or may not be a candidate. Every job starts with an honest inspection, and you are told exactly what we find before any work begins.
