Ridgeline Roofing & Solar recently wrapped up another successful commercial roof coating project in Joplin, Missouri, and we’re excited to share how this process can save property owners time, money, and future headaches.
Tim Yates, alongside associate Chad Hill, explained the advantages of coating systems during a quick walk-through after completing the job. This particular roof—like many others we work on—was showing signs of wear and rust but didn’t require a full replacement thanks to our silicone roof coating system.
Why Consider a Roof Coating Instead of a Replacement?
✅ Cuts Costs in Half
Compared to a complete tear-off and replacement, coating a commercial roof typically costs 50% less. It’s a game-changer for flat and low-slope roofing systems including metal, modified bitumen, and TPO.
✅ UV Reflectivity = Lower Energy Bills
Silicone coatings reflect sunlight and reduce interior building temps—perfect for improving energy efficiency during hot Missouri summers.
✅ Rust Inhibitor for Metal Roofs
For this project, we applied a rust inhibitor first to stop existing corrosion in its tracks and prep the surface for long-term adhesion.
✅ Quick & Clean Installation
No disruption to daily operations, minimal mess, and fast turnaround make roof coatings a favorite among business owners.
✅ Extend Your Roof’s Life
Rather than replace a roof at the first sign of trouble, coatings can add 10-20 years of service life, especially when properly maintained.

We just finished up a commercial coating project, and, just kinda wanted to show everybody kinda what it looked like. It's a great way to save money if you're you're looking for a way to replace a a a metal modified or even a TPO roof.
These these roofs run about half the cost. There's a lot of UV benefit to them. This one actually required a little bit of rust inhibitor. Once we got that on, everything went very smooth. So, if you have any questions, feel free to give us a call.
Thank you."
