Flat Roof Coatings
Flat Roof Coating in South Florida
Flat roof coating seals a flat or low-slope roof with a seamless, waterproof membrane that stops leaks and reflects the sun. It’s one of the most effective ways to fix a leaking flat roof in South Florida without replacing it. ProFoam & Coatings coats flat roofs on homes and businesses across Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade.
Why flat roofs leak in South Florida
Flat roofs don’t shed water as quickly as sloped roofs, so every seam, flashing and drain gets tested in heavy rain. Over time the sun dries out and cracks the surface, seams open up, and water finds its way in, often far from where the stain shows up inside.
Ponding water makes it worse. When water sits for days after a storm, it speeds up wear and finds any weak spot in the roof.
Flat roof leak repair and coating
Most flat roof coating projects start with repairs. We find the source of the leak, replace wet or damaged sections, rebuild failed flashings and seal drains and penetrations. Then the whole roof is coated to create one continuous membrane.
That combination fixes today’s leaks and protects against the next ones, without the cost and mess of a full replacement on a roof that’s still sound.

Flat roofs we coat
Modified bitumen
One of the most common flat roofs in South Florida.
Built-up roofs
Older multi-layer roofs with gravel or cap sheets.
TPO and single-ply
TPO roof coating with the right primer can extend an aging membrane.
Previously coated roofs
Recoating roofs that were coated years ago.
Residential flat roofs
Flat-roofed homes and low-slope additions and porches.
Choosing the right coating
For flat roofs with ponding water, silicone is usually the best fit. Acrylic works well on flat roofs with good drainage. Spray foam roofing can be tapered to improve drainage and adds insulation.
We’ll recommend the system that fits your roof. For bigger buildings, see commercial roof coating.

Frequently asked questions
Can you fix a leaking flat roof without replacing it?
Often, yes. We repair the leak source and damaged sections, then coat the whole roof. If the roof is too far gone, we’ll tell you.
Can you coat a TPO roof?
Often, yes. TPO needs the right cleaning and primer for the coating to bond. We check the membrane’s condition first.
What’s the best coating for a flat roof with ponding water?
Silicone is usually the best choice for ponding water. Acrylic isn’t designed for standing water.
Do you coat flat roofs on homes?
Yes. We coat flat and low-slope roofs on homes, additions, porches and garages.
