Each summer, the intense New Mexico sun tests the limits of roofs across Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, and Corrales. After prolonged heat exposure, many property owners contact us fearing they require a complete roof replacement.
However, in a significant number of cases, a professionally applied roof coating system provides a superior, cost-effective solution. At Just Roofing & Gutters, we specialize in restoring and protecting roofs with advanced coatings designed for our unique Southwestern climate.
A roof coating is a fluid-applied reinforced membrane that cures to form a continuous, protective layer over your existing roof substrate. Unlike a full replacement, this process renews your roof’s performance without disruptive tear-off. This service is particularly effective for flat, low-slope, or metal roofing systems common in our area. A correctly specified and installed coating delivers critical benefits:
UV Reflective Protection: Shields against solar degradation from our high-altitude sun.
Seamless Waterproofing: Seals minor cracks, seams, and penetrations to prevent leaks.
Improved Thermal Efficiency: Reflects solar heat to reduce indoor cooling demands.
Extended Service Life: Adds years of durability to a structurally sound roof.
When applied properly, a roof coating provides:
Quality results depend on meticulous preparation and expert application. Our certified technicians follow a stringent protocol:
Comprehensive Inspection & Analysis: We assess your roof’s condition to ensure a coating is the appropriate recommendation.
Surface Preparation: The roof is thoroughly cleaned of all dirt, debris, and loose material to ensure optimal adhesion.
Targeted Repairs: Any minor cracks, blisters, or failed details are repaired to create a sound substrate.
Precision Application: We apply high-performance, weather-resistant coatings using professional equipment for uniform thickness and complete coverage.
Final Quality Assurance: We conduct a detailed inspection to verify integrity and performance before considering the project complete.

Choosing a roof coating from our company provides tangible, long-term value:

When you choose us, you’re investing in protection, efficiency, and peace of mind.
During a roof coating consultation, we evaluate your entire roofing system. Often, we identify complementary needs:
Roof Repair: Addressing localized damage prior to coating ensures a solid foundation.
Professional Roof Inspection: Our coating inspections are thorough, providing a complete assessment of your roof’s health.
Gutter Installation: Proper drainage is essential; we may recommend new seamless gutter systems to protect your investment.
Attic Ventilation Solutions: Improving attic airflow can work in tandem with a reflective coating to manage heat.
Roof coating is a cost-effective restoration strategy. While a full replacement can cost tens of thousands, professional coating applications typically range from a few thousand dollars, depending on square footage, substrate condition, and the selected coating system. We provide transparent, free estimates.
A high-quality, professionally applied coating system can provide 10-15 years of protection in the Albuquerque area. Longevity depends on using premium, elastomeric materials designed for UV resistance and proper surface preparation—the cornerstones of our service.
They are an excellent solution for flat, low-slope, metal, and modified bitumen roofs. For traditional asphalt shingle roofs, coatings are less common and not always advised. We will provide an honest assessment of suitability during our inspection.
Typically, a permit is not required for a coating application as it is considered a maintenance procedure. However, if underlying repairs require structural work, permits may be necessary. Our team manages all required documentation.
The difference is substantial. Architectural paint is not designed for constant weather exposure and will crack and fail. Roof coatings are engineered with higher solids content, elasticity to accommodate thermal movement, and specific reflective or waterproofing properties.
This critical decision hinges on the condition of your roof deck and existing materials. If the structure is sound and damage is superficial, coating is an intelligent choice. We will advise you honestly if replacement is more prudent and can assist in navigating insurance claims for storm-related damage.
