Who Gains
Benefits of Coating Your Roof
Coating intact shingles helps in specific ways, and each group sees a different one.
Owner
- An aging shingle roof gets more service before a tear-off
- Coating seals granule loss and small cracks
- Work is planned around Sunday services, clinic hours, or office days
Facility Manager
- Flashing at walls and vents is resealed as part of the job
- Loose tabs get fixed instead of blowing off in the next wind
- Gutters stay clearer once granule shedding slows
Tenants And Staff
- No tear-off noise or debris over the building
- Fewer stains on ceilings below old flashing
- Crews stay on the roof and away from entrances
Granules Piling Up in the Gutters?
That is the first sign a shingle roof is weathering. Send us the roof size and we will check whether coating fits.
Work Sequence
How Norfolk Shingle Roof Coating Is Done
Shingle coating is mostly preparation and flashing work.
- 1On The Roof
Inspect Your Roof
We check every slope for curling, soft deck, missing tabs, and failed flashing, and tell you plainly if the roof needs reshingling instead of coating.
- 2On The Roof
Clean And Secure Tabs
Moss, dirt, and loose granules are washed off at low pressure, lifted tabs are resealed, and missing shingles are replaced to match.
- 3On The Roof
Seal The Flashing
Walls, vents, valleys, and penetrations get their flashing resealed or replaced, since coating will not fix a flashing leak.
- 4On The Roof
Roll Or Spray The Coating
A coating made for asphalt shingles goes over the field at the rate on the product sheet, keeping vents and ridge ventilation open.

Questions
Best Answers on Shingle Roof Coating for Norfolk Owners
What owners ask when shingles start to wear.
Fit
Is shingle roof coating on commercial buildings worth doing?
Yes, when steep-slope asphalt shingles are aging but still flat and intact, as on many offices, clinics, and churches. The coating seals granule loss and small cracks and slows weathering. Curling, missing, or soft shingles call for repair or replacement, and we check for those before recommending a coating.
Can you put roof coating over shingles on an office or church?
Yes, with a coating made for asphalt shingles and shingles in good shape. We clean the roof, secure loose tabs, replace missing ones, and seal flashing, then roll or spray the coating across the field. It works best on moderate slopes with good attic ventilation.
Lifespan
How long does asphalt roof coating last?
That rides on the coating type, the thickness applied, and the shingles under it. Sun, hail, and freeze-thaw cycles all wear the surface. Manufacturers rate shingle coatings by product and application rate. Clear gutters and early fixes on lifted tabs help, and we recoat as the film wears.
Code And Choice
Shingle roof coating vs reshingling: which is right?
Coating fits when the shingles are intact and the deck is dry, and reshingling fits when shingles fail across the roof. Norfolk amended its code so architectural laminated shingles are not covered with another layer of shingles, which makes reshingling over them a tear-off. Ask the city building division how it treats a coating project.
Which code covers shingle work in Norfolk?
Nebraska adopts the 2018 International Building Code and the 2018 International Existing Building Code under Neb. Rev. Stat. 71-6403, and Norfolk adopts its own version with local amendments. The city building division decides whether your scope needs a permit, so we check before starting.
