Factors That Determine a Successful Roof Coating Application
Roof coating is a meticulous procedure. Roofing specialists go to great lengths to ensure the best conditions before starting the process because one mistake can result in subpar work.
Safe Harbor Exteriors, a local roofing and siding contractor trusted by homeowners and builders, lists a few variables that can impact the success of your roof coating application.
Climate and Weather Conditions
There are various formulations for roof coatings, so these coatings work differently in specific climates. Typically, location is one of the first things roofers consider when they give recommendations to customers. Every region has a different level of humidity, temperature ranges and amount of sun, rain and snow in a year. That’s why your roof coating should be able to handle the weather conditions usually experienced in your area.
Moreover, it’s important to check weather forecasts for any chance of rain or a storm 24 to 48 hours after your desired time of application. Make sure there’s enough time for proper curing.
Surface Preparation
Check the manufacturer’s guidelines to confirm the conditions most suitable for coating application. For instance, solvent-based roof coatings require a dry surface, so the area must be free from frost, ice and snow. Some coating products are specifically formulated for wet-surface application. And, in the case of emulsions, a slightly damp surface may still work.
Changes in Temperature
It’s not enough to check only the highest temperature in a given day. To avoid curing or coating problems, note the temperature at the time of application as well as the roof’s surface temperature.

Reviews
We talked to multiple companies while deciding who to use for the exterior of our home. Safe Harbor was transparent, fast, and offered James Hardie siding compared to all the other companies only offering vinyl. Safe Harbor was much more affordable than many of the other companies, who just wanted as much money as possible. We are extremely happy with our siding, soffit, fascia, flashing, gutters, windows and the guarantee that comes with their work. If there was any more work to be performed, without a doubt, we would chose safe Harbor again.
Safe Harbor installed James Hardie siding, soffits, and gutters. The install was meticulous and our home was left cleaner than when the company showed up. The level of detail in the install was beyond expectation! We are so pleased with the quality of the work and the professionalism of the install team!
