Commercial Roof Coating Services | RSP | 800-538-6723

RSP Painting provides nationwide, self-performing commercial roof restoration services across all 50 states. By utilizing in-house crews and state-of-the-art Graco Reactor 30 high-pressure rigs, we deliver full roof restoration without the disruption or cost of a complete roof tear-off.

 

Key System Highlights

  • Flagship System: Expandothane plural-component hybrid coating. It expands up to 7 times its volume during spray application to fill cracks, bridge gaps, seal seams, and create a 100% seamless, monolithic waterproof barrier.

  • Brand Offerings: Complete installation of Gaco (Silicone/Acrylic), Rust-Oleum (Metal/Rust Inhibitive Coatings), and other liquid-applied roofing systems.

  • Capital Improvement Status: Qualifies as a direct building repair or maintenance expense under IRS Section 179 for immediate tax write-offs, avoiding full capital depreciation schedules.

  • Thermal & Reflective Performance: High-reflectivity white topcoats reflect up to 85%+ of solar heat (lowering cooling bills by 20–30%), while adding critical surface protection and heat resistance.

  • Warranty: 5-year to 20-year non-prorated manufacturer and labor warranties available.

  • Equipment & Labor: 100% self-performed by RSP employees using high-volume Graco Reactor 30 spray rigs—no subcontractors.

 Restoration Benefits

 
Metal Roofs Encapsulates rust, seals fasteners, and stops seam expansion leaks.
Modified Bitumen & Built-Up.                  . Seals weathered asphalt, prevents UV cracking, and stops water penetration.
Single-Ply Membranes Restores aged membranes, repairs shrinking seams, and restores reflectivity.
Concrete Decks Fills surface micro-fissures and creates a durable waterproof shell.
Spray Polyurethane Foam Serves as a UV protective topcoat to extend foam system lifespans indefinitely.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Why choose a roof coating instead of a full roof replacement?

A full replacement requires tearing off the old roof, dumping tons of material into landfills, and disrupting business operations inside. A roof coating is sprayed directly over your existing, structurally sound roof. It costs roughly 50% less, takes half the time to install, produces zero landfill waste, and qualifies for immediate tax deductions.

What makes Expandothane different from standard paints or coatings?

Standard coatings dry flat and can bridge small cracks. Expandothane contains micro-expanding agents. When applied through our high-pressure Graco Reactor 30 rigs, it expands up to 7x its liquid volume. This forces the material deep into pinholes, open seams, and around loose rivets, self-healing substrate imperfections before curing into a rubberized shell.

Can roof coatings lower monthly energy bills?

Yes. Dark commercial roofs absorb up to 90% of the sun’s thermal heat, heating your roof deck up to 160°F or more. White high-reflectivity coatings reflect up to 85%+ of UV and solar radiation. This drops roof surface temperatures back down to near-ambient levels, cutting HVAC cooling costs by 15% to 35% during warm months.

Is a roof coating considered a capital expenditure or a repair for taxes?

Under most federal tax guidelines, a roof replacement is a capital improvement that must be depreciated over 39 years. A roof coating system is classified as a maintenance repair or expense, allowing building owners to deduct 100% of the project cost in the current tax year under IRS Section 179 rules (consult your CPA for specific asset tax planning).

Does RSP Painting use subcontractors for roof coating projects?

No. RSP Painting is a true nationwide self-performing contractor. Every job is completed by our own trained full-time employees using company-owned Graco Reactor 30 spray equipment.
