Main Benefit
Shingle Roof Coating vs Reshingling
Coating seals shingles that are aging but intact, leaves no tear-off debris around entrances, and puts off reshingling while the deck stays firm.

Kokomo shingle roof coating works on shingles that are aging but intact. These checks show which side of that line a roof sits on.

| Granules | Some loss, surface still covered | Bare mat showing across slopes |
| Missing Pieces | A few, replaced before coating | Many, across several slopes |
| Deck | Firm underfoot and dry | Soft, sagging, or wet decking |
| Flashing | Dried sealant at walls and vents | Flashing rusted through or missing |
Common Problems
What Shingle Roof Coating Fixes on Kokomo Buildings
Coating helps a shingle roof that is wearing, and these are the signs it has reached that stage.
- You See
Granules Collecting in the Gutters
Likely CauseSun and rain wear the mineral surface off the shingles over the years.
What We DoA coating covers the worn surface and slows further granule loss.
- You See
Tabs Lifting in the Wind
Likely CauseAdhesive strips that hold the tabs down dry out and let go.
What We DoLoose tabs are re-adhered with roofing cement before the coating goes on.
- You See
Leaks at Walls and Vent Pipes
Likely CauseFlashing sealant cracks where the roof meets a wall, a vent, or a chimney.
What We DoFlashing is resealed, boots are replaced, and those joints get reinforced coating.
- You See
Streaks and Algae on Shaded Slopes
Likely CauseShaded slopes stay damp longer, so algae and dirt build up on the shingles.
What We DoWashing removes the growth so the coating bonds to the shingle itself.

Why Coat
Benefits of Coating Your Roof
For shingles at the right stage, coating adds service time and keeps the building open during the work.
Shingle Roof Coating on Commercial Buildings
Churches, clinics, offices, and retail strips with pitched roofs stay open while each slope is coated.
Slower Granule Loss
A coated surface shields the remaining granules from sun and runoff.
Shingle Roof Coating Cost

Process
How Shingle Roof Coating Goes On in Kokomo
Shingle coating is mostly prep. These five steps run in order on each roof.
Inspect Your Roof
We walk each slope, press for soft decking, check tabs for curling, and look at the deck from the attic side where it is open.
Repair Shingles and Flashing
Missing shingles are replaced, loose tabs re-adhered, and flashing at walls and vents resealed.
Wash the Slopes
A low-pressure wash removes algae, dirt, and loose granules so the coating can bond.
Detail the Joints
Valleys, flashing, and vent boots get a brushed coat with reinforcing fabric where joints move.
Coat Each Slope
The field coat is rolled or sprayed slope by slope, and its thickness is checked before it cures.

Shingle Roof Coating Questions From Kokomo Owners
What owners ask before coating a shingle roof on a commercial building.
How long does an asphalt shingle roof coating last on a Kokomo commercial building?
Several added years of service, with the count set by shingle condition, the coating type, and the thickness applied. Shingles already curling or shedding granules wear a coating faster. Freeze-thaw cycles and summer sun are hard on shingles here, so a spring check helps. Coating extends good shingles; failed ones need replacing.
What does shingle roof coating cost for a Kokomo commercial property?
Our ballpark puts coating at about $2.50 to $4.00 per square foot and replacement at about $5 to $8, with the final price set after an inspection. Roof size, pitch, how many shingles need replacing or resealing first, granule loss, access, and the coating chosen move the number, and steep or cut-up roofs take more labor.
Is shingle roof coating used on Kokomo offices, churches, and retail buildings?
Yes. Plenty of smaller commercial buildings around Kokomo, from offices and churches to clinics and retail strips, carry shingle roofs. Coating seals shingles that are aging but still flat and well attached, which slows granule loss and sun wear. Missing shingles, soft decking, or widespread curling call for repairs or a new roof first.
Should a Kokomo commercial property coat its shingles or reshingle?
Coat when the shingles are flat, sealed, and mostly intact over a firm deck. Reshingle when shingles are curled, cracked, or missing in many places, or the decking is soft or wet. A walk across each slope and a look at the deck underside show which applies, and coating keeps entrances free of tear-off debris.
How do I know my shingles are too far gone to coat?
Look for bare fiberglass mat where granules used to be, tabs that curl up at the corners, and spots that give underfoot. Any one of those across a whole slope points to reshingling that slope. Scattered damage on otherwise flat shingles gets repaired, and then the roof can be coated.
