Fluid Applied Roofing: a new roof over your existing one

Fluid Applied Roofing goes over the roof you already have. It’s a full roofing system made by Fluid Applied Roofing LLC in Dayton, Ohio. We install it.

We apply it in layers. Primer and caulk go on first, followed by a sprayable fiber-reinforced base coat in place of fabric and seam tape. A silicone or ProCoat finish coat goes on top. The layers cure into one continuous membrane, without joints, seams or fasteners for water to get through. Seams are among the most common leak points on flat roofs.

The existing roof stays in place, so there’s no tear-off. There’s no demolition, no disposal fees and no waste going to a landfill. Your business doesn’t have to shut down. Most installs take 1 to 5 days, depending on the size of the roof.

The system can go over built-up (tar and gravel), modified bitumen, TPO, PVC, EPDM, metal and spray foam roofs. Its finish reflects sunlight and can lower the roof’s surface temperature by up to 50°F. The silicone finish handles ponding water. The system is designed to extend the roof’s life by 15 to 20 years, and it can be recoated later. It comes with a manufacturer-backed warranty of 10 to 20 years, depending on the system.

Commercial roofs we’ve inspected in the Bay Area

Not every commercial roof is flat, and some have more than one roofing material. Our crews have been on these two Bay Area buildings, one in Hayward and one in Cloverdale.

Bay Area commercial roofing FAQ

Can a commercial roof have both shingles and flat sections?

Yes. The Hayward building we inspected has pitched shingle sections and a flat section. We look at each part separately. A fix that suits one part may not suit the other.

What gets checked around rooftop HVAC and exhaust units?

We check the patches and flashing, along with every penetration around the equipment. On the Hayward building, the crew found old patch work near the exhaust units and a covered curb. Neither an old patch nor a reported leak tells us where water is entering. We trace that first.

What prep does a rusty metal roof need?

The rust needs to come off before anything goes over it. On the commercial metal roof in Cloverdale, the crew ground off the rust and pressure washed the roof. The proposal also called for detail work at seams, fasteners and penetrations.

Does Fluid Applied Roofing work on metal roofs?

Yes. It can go over metal and standing seam roofs as well as flat roofs. Commercial roofs aren’t always flat. The Cloverdale building has a pitched metal roof.

What should I compare in a commercial roof proposal?

Look at how the roof will be cleaned and prepared. Check how the proposal handles seams, fasteners and penetrations, which system will be installed and what warranty comes with it. Ask for those details in writing.

Will installation shut down my business?

No. The existing roof stays in place, so there’s no tear-off or demolition and no need to close the business. Most installs take 1 to 5 days, depending on the size of the roof.
