Painting roof with white reflective rubber acrylic elastomeric coating

[@porky7753]

Great job, i did this 4 years ago against everyone saying not to. It was the best thing i did, it gets windy and blows shingles off in our area and i no longer have those issues but the neighbors do. In a few years i'm going to hit it again with 2 coats just cause.

Simple math, your average single roof has a 10-25 yr lifespan but the insurance companies give any roof that is 10yo a zero cost. If your roof shingles are in good shape, pull a permit for elastomeric roof paint and reset the clock. Note that if you are really going per product approvals we are talking 50-100sf a 5gal bucket and make sure to treat cracks and joints with other products.

Make sure the keyways are sealed. If not, water will enter and travel horizontally until it reaches the gap between shingles and leaks. Don't ask me how I know this

Lanco white seal is good stuff. Manufacturer recommends a thickness of 20 mills about 2 credit cards thick. At that thick it would take you 8 coats. I've seen a shingle house that was coated like this and it was sealed so good that moisture couldn't go through the shingles. And there was condensation in the Attic. The homeowner had to install more vents in the Attic to let the moisture vapor out.

Have used products like this for decades. Points to consider: 1. Sealing cracks requires the thicker paste version and mesh fabric, almost like fiberglass layup. 2. This is a plastic seal which will trap moisture coming from inside your house. Proper ventilation is absolutely required. Most folks don't realize that shingle roofs breath. Not with this coating. 3. The coating does protect the mineral coating on the shingles, which could help extend the life of the shingles. However, you cannot walk around on the roof without breaking the coating. 4. Multiple coats works much better than one thick coat.

[@waterbug1135]

I bought a short sale Phoenix house in 2009 with this on the roof. Makes zero difference in heat gain. Last forever? If forever is 5-10 years. 99% of it lasts, but it starts cracking different places. That allows water to get in between the layers. When I ripped the roof off most of the roof was wet and rotting thru the wood deck and rafters. It rarely rains here in Phoenix and when I ripped off the roof it hadn't rained in months. Still soaking wet. Does a really good job of trapping water and sealing it in.

[@captainaxle438]

Thank you, that's logical information, cracks. I now know never use it. Was thinking it good but now the truth

[@pcno2832]

That should always be a concern when coating anything; remember what undercoating used to do to cars? But it seems to work for some people, maybe for the ones who check it for cracks regularly, and re-apply it to stop them; it it doesn't crack, it won't likely trap moisture. My inclination, if attempting something like this, would be to staple down fiberglass mesh, then put the sealer on through it. I've done that (without the staples) to a few metal items that wouldn't stop rusting. It has protected a metal cabinet, which had been a rusty mess, in my bathroom for over 25 yeas.

[@captainaxle438]

@@pcno2832 yeah remember the undercoating days it was a gimmick. The dealer would add $1,000 to the car for undercoating, so a guy with spray cans of goop would coat the underneath. We used to get driveshafts that had been coated on one side and vibrated. Brand new car, vibrating.

Probably your product wasn't the silicone type. Realistically, we cannot know if you are "in-defense" of traditional roofs because of incentive.

[@nomocooties6996]

I have done this on a number of properties I have owned over the past 40 years. I started off using SiverDollar which was an aluminum paint with asbestos fibers in it, it had to be mixed VERY well before using but worked well and it was very messy since it had a petroleum base and you had to use paint thinner to get it off of you. The next time I did it I used white acrylic, worked good but became brittle ( cracked, when you walked on it). Ever since I have used a white elastomeric like you did, fills the cracks or small holes, dings or whatever. It doesn't crack because its a rubber. I have even used this on shingles so old that some tabs had lost 90% of their rock like granules, still worked and from standing in the yard looks like a brand new roof. I have read some of these post and a few have said you need to remove the old finish before recoating. That's just pure bullshit. I did however start by using a leaf blower at the top and walk down the roof to remove loose leaf stems or whatever. I'm ready to do this again its been 12 years since I did it last, still doesn't leak and the shingles that are on the house now were 30 yrs old when I did them 12 yrs ago. A contractor wanted 8k for a new roof, so I will be doing it again.

Very useful tips Thanks , I'm a bit skeptical maybe I'll reroof my garage we'll see .

[@daveisnothere]

You touch on one thing some commenters dont realize, this elastomeric coating does not crack. I am planning on putting this on top of a brand new roof when I re-roof my house mainly for the heat reflection, but I have put it on the flat roof of the house Wild Bill Cody lived in the late 1800's, this stuff can stretch and give even once it is dry. It is very popular here around Tucson, AZ. We arent quite as hot as Phoenix, but close.

[@miloswanson9646]

My former employer used a similar product on our 11,000sqft industrial shop that had a plain galvanized metal 1:20 pitch roof. Yes, the roof was insulated, about what most red-iron construction uses. By adding that white coating, it not only sealed what leaks we had from the 25-year-old washer-gasket type screws, but also lowered our cooling cost (yes, an air conditioned industrial building) to the point where the whole thing paid for itself in just three years. Whatever product we used, it was a two-stage process after the initial acid-etch/powerwashing. First a bonding primer was applied, then the rubberized white top coat was sprayed on. IIRC, our building used ~250 gallons of each product, primer/topcoat.

[@justinmason5307]

I did my roof 3 1/2 years ago in 2021, huge improvement. It does really help cool. I am in the Mojave Desert in California. Plus it helps waterproof the home. Pretty inexpensive for the benefit, I would definitely do it again. Nice work

[@YosemiteFour]

Thanks for doing this video. Very helpful as I am looking into doing this myself. I was looking into Lanco because it's a third of the cost of Henry's. We're located 200 miles one-way from the closest Home Depot that carries Lanco. This last winter, we were pummeled by a month of 14-25 degree weather on top of two-feet of snow that froze to the roof. My 2650-sf flat roof is only six years old and I've been quoted $28,000 to $40,000 for full applications of GAF HydroStop or Elastomeric on the old roof, with no warranties, or only the product warranty or a minimum 2-year warranty. One licensed contractor has offered a complete roof replacement with a two layer coat of Henry's TropiCool for $32,000 plus $115 per plywood sheet needing replacement (39 sheets)--he can't get up here until November and even that looks sketchy because they're now dealing with Hurricane Hilary damages. I figured with a four-inch brush as shown in one video, I can get it done before October, however, the Lanco Company KZbin video says to spread the material thickly on the roof, not to roll it. I'm heading up to Carson City to pick up a few five gallon buckets to try it on problem areas before it rains again. My heart goes out to all that have been impacted by the weather, most recently those folks in Maui because some folks aren't going to be able to afford the sky-rocketing prices, considering all materials have to be shipped by boat. Even if you file a claim with your insurance company they may pay for it then not cover the roof going forward, increase your premium or cancel you anyway even if they don't cover it. It's a mess all over the country.

[@JohnBullOutdoors]

200 miles from HD, wow. Maybe you can have it shipped directly to you. I'm happy with the product, and you're right, you don't roll this product on, really just push it around nice and thick. That the best way even though I used a roller on my roof.

[@stevenmiller6725]

The tropi cool is a vastly superior product. Can walk on it barefoot on a 90 degree day and not even hot. Lasts way longer and does not crack like the latex.

[@ThomasPhillip-d9e]

I have often wondered about doing something like this. Seems like a quicker, easier and cheaper way to avoid complete tear down and replacement. So long as you do it while your roof is still in great shape. I did not consider moister through shingle. I know I have that moister barrier under shingles. That white tarp like looking material. Watched roofers put it on when I payed for a complete replacement. Ben 15 years about never had a leak.

[@Juan-z5z2u]

The stuff works well on metal/aluminum roofs. I usually pressure wash roof early, let dry, and then apply. I apply a thin coat every 2-3 years. I do not like thick coats.

[@kellystoner277]

Big mistake he made was back rolling over his initial roll. He was literally pulling the product back up off the shingles. You have to lay it on and leave it be. When it is real hot like he was working in, the coverage and workability goes way down. I used to use a mold/fungal spray first, let it sit for a day or so. Then spray a clear roof sealer on with a pump sprayer, let dry and cure a day or so. Then, go back with the elastomeric and lay it on, trying not too get too cute with it. If it is really hot, it is okay to spray the roof with water before applying, it cools it down, and the water evaporates pretty fast. I have done roofs like this that have lasted 15 years in South Florida, and The Keys. I used to put M9 in the product, it is a anti-mold, mildew fungicide that keeps molds etc... from growing in coastal zone tropical, and inland sub-tropical areas. Basically you are covering your roof in a big raincoat, and a clean base is always a good place to start. Poly/Styrene spray applications are expensive, but provide incredible insulating properties. The problem with that system is you have to keep painting it to keep the UV rays off of it. The best roof is a Bimini roof which is basically overlapping stepped concrete slabs that can take any hurricane winds, provide a monolithic slab that also insulates the building and you never have to put another roof on. It does require painting for aesthetic reasons as well as to protect concrete from weather. Insurance companies in Florida consider a 15 plus year old roof non-insurable, which begs the question about thirty year shingles? Everything is a racket.

I love your suggestion about the spray on fungicide....and....the clear sealer first before applying the coating.

I remember when they invented that rubberized roof coating material. I was working a/c and on a rooftop of a mall where it was poured/spread in patches here and there with standing water on many patches. The owner told me they had constant leakage until he found and used the rubber material. He only used it in patches as it was quite expensive at the beginning. But it stopped the leaks in areas where the rain water ponded. I wondered sometime afterwards if this material could be used on a slopped shingled roof for a situation like in this video. Glad I finally got the answer. Other than dripping over the edge I never saw a reason why it couldn't be used. And if the shingles are whole and not breaking the appearance shouldn't be bad. Seems better than removing and replacing shingles. Maybe less expensive than using steel roofing too.

[@donteague614]

Like to see how this holds b up after 5 years. I can see it maybe peeling and seeing that bond failing over time. With shingles being petroleum base and acrylic would have different expansion rates during freeze thaw. Its probably just a band aide for now but who knows.

[@thospeterson]

three tab shingles are designed to let any water that does get under a layer run out the downslope side. So the water needs to get through 3 layers of shingle to leak, which it will only do when the shingles get pretty old and worn out from weather and the Sun's UV's. I applied white elastomeric coating to several shingle roofs in the LA area and it caused ALL the roofs to leak.. a lot... when they weren't leaking before... for 2 reasons: the elastomeric coating sealed the downslope side of the shingles stopping them from properly draining as they're designed to. And secondly because applying this paint to a shingle will cause it to curl over time, thus causing cracks in the coating, which then hydrostatically draw water under the white coating. It looks like he's coated more thinly than I did, so perhaps he'll still have the downslope shingle still able to drain water as it's designed to. If so, this could work... but I doubt it. I DO NOT recommend coating shingles... and I had a roofing company for many years (licensed contractor). One should ONLY apply Elastomeric coatings to FLAT roofs with torch-down or other impermeable surfaces.

White rubberized roof coating absolutely work. My house has had it for at least the past 30 years in one form or another. Once we had a film of foam spread down first and then sealed with the coating. Now, there are so many coats of the sealant that the house is super insulated. Inside temp of the house in the peak of summer (AZ) with temps 100+ will max at 80 degrees. Then, flip on the evaporative cooler and it gets down to sub 70 in a couple of hours if desired. The coating works, and works better as your layers of the stuff deepen over the decades.

Thank you .l was wondering how .love the fast motion. 😂😊 today is sept 17 24 . How long has it been .for your roof at this date.

[@JGarcia2016]

Can we used this stuff inside the house too or the atic?

What about inadequate melt in the north on warmer days? I feel like it could lead to ice dams. Everyone else's roof might melt off, but this could retain most of the snow or ice, causing any melt to find its way under shingles. Maybe this in conjunction with some heat lines for the buildup?

Dude...we understand it doesn't matter which word you choose I've done that roof coating stuff before that Sun effect on the body is crucial...hopefully it fix the problem...

[@erogel4171]

on an older shingled roof , you need to use roofing cloth and asphalt emulsion , then you can put on the white coat. i've only used it on open beam ceiling , so i don't know about moisture with a attic.

Did he cleanup his roof with soap and water? I use the highest silicone base roof paint as possible. Have done this for years and it pays to use the best quality roof paint possible. Two coats are suggested to cover roof properly. I use the highest silicone solution as possible on the valleys of the roof. Easy to do! I’m sold on this way of sealing an old roof.

I was wondering if your house stay a little bit cooler after you paint your Ruth

[@AlexM-vh2pu]

Will this work on a tile roof? Its a small section but was thinking of covering that area of were the leak is at.

[@cliffp73]

Did ya pucker up when you almost fell off? 8:10

[@gregorgman]

Nice job, nice video, appreciate it. Can you tell me about how long you feel this product will last? Thanks.

[@anelpasic5232]

This is a great way to seal in moisture.

[@renelujan3024]

Roof coating is not a sealant. They only protect the existing roof from sun damage. They also help with energy efficiency. If you embed it with polyester fabric, then it will seal. It is not suggested to coat shingles because if you do not have proper ventilation, it will destroy your wood substrate.

[@ubob38]

So when I paint the wood on my house the wood will rot because it is sealed.😅😅😅😅

[@crazycrab8578]

will this stuff work on my van roof, as i live init a lot, looking for some thing to deaden the sound of rain hitting it and white

[@JohnBullOutdoors]

It should work well for dampening rain.

[@crazycrab8578]

@@JohnBullOutdoors cheers

[@williamgleaton2992]

I have worked with Elastomeric before ,after being under rain water for a short period of time it bubbles and separates from the surface it was applied to. Now in a different situation itmight do better ,but if your in a rainy state avoid it like its a plagued.

[@TheLookingOne]

Is there an outdoor wall paint that is thermally reflective on the market?

[@robertbrownjr6532]

Thanks for your video I have a question I live in Arizona in a older single wide mobile home I was told once putting a coating on the shingles would make the corners lift up I'm hoping to keep the house cooler in the summer...Thank you

[@JohnBullOutdoors]

Nah, this product isn't going to lift up any corners.

[@ASHole71]

So 2 years later hows it going?

[@soulbrother3299]

THANK YOU GOOD SIR!!! IM going this route instead of 8000...i think i can fork out 1200 roughly hope it comes in black? Again thanks!!!

[@xbrizzcakez]

Hopefully you accomplished your mission and bridged your water points of entry. Did it stop your leaks?

[@garysantos7053]

White roofs in colder climates can be more likely to develop condensation, especially if they are under-insulated. This can happen when warm, humid air gets into the roofing system through gaps, unsealed joints, or around penetrations during cold weather. When the humid air hits a surface that's below the dew point, the moisture condenses, usually on the underside of the membrane.

[@callmebigpapa]

Looks good and at least in Florida that white roof would save you a 100 a month in energy bill !

[@misterkite]

There are so many houses in Tucson with rubberized roofs that there are actually multiple manufacturers *based* in Tucson. Elastek and Tucson Rubberized are the two biggest ones.

[@mattski1979]

Does it still stop the water and heat one year later. How'd it do?

[@Pallidus_Rider]

How is it holding up 2 years later? How often should this be reapplied? TIA

[@chrishendricks1079]

Works great on metal and aluminum, but not so sure about putting it over shingles as there is wood under those shingles.

[@charles2675]

Does this stop leaks On asphalt

[@sajidrafique375]

So, I always wondered if it could be done and here is a video proof ... Good Job guys ... Will my HOA approve this ?

[@kocmoctube]

Will that make replacing shingles a very difficult task?

[@Kanotoa]

Good advice about not falling off. My friend was powerwashing and fell off his roof, he is now paralyzed

[@HarrySatchelWhatsThatSmell]

So no report on the temperature difference in the attic?

[@Gena777-r95]

Would this work on a mobile home roof? I would definitely tint it though, I dont like the white look ❤

[@ko.ko33]

sweet kitty and chickens 😊

[@sdowning533]

1. Is there any reason this should not be done? 2. Should this be done to older roof shingles or new also? 3. Can this be one with a medal roof? 4. Can it be done it a different color or any benefits to the white?
