Cary Roof Pros provides professional roof coatings & sealing in Cary, NC for residential and commercial properties across the Research Triangle. There is a version of this service we will not sell. Coating an asphalt shingle roof to extend its life does not work, voids the manufacturer's warranty, and makes the eventual tear-off harder and more expensive. We turn it down several times a year.
Shingle failure is the mat going brittle and the granules leaving. A coating adds weight, traps moisture in the mat, and hides the exact surface a future inspection has to read. Some coatings also shift the roof's color far enough that an association sees an unapproved alteration on a roof the owner believed they were preserving. It also adds a layer a future adjuster cannot see through, which complicates any later storm claim.
Coatings belong on low-slope membranes and on metal. A silicone or acrylic system over a sound but aging TPO, EPDM or modified bitumen roof is a genuine, cost-effective alternative to replacement, and on a standing seam roof an elastomeric system with reinforcing fabric at the seams and fasteners buys real years. Reflective coatings do lower a membrane's surface temperature, which slows the aging that finished the first one.
Done properly it is mostly preparation. A pressure wash and a clean rinse, a rust-inhibitive primer on exposed metal, seam tape or fabric-reinforced detail at every lap, penetration and fastener, then two coats at the manufacturer's wet mil thickness, checked with a gauge instead of estimated by eye. One thick coat is not two coats. Coverage rate is checked against the container count at the end of each day.
Sealing is a related word that gets badly misused. Sealant is one component of a flashing detail, never a repair method in itself. Where we use it — the top edge of counter-flashing, a termination bar, a pipe collar — it is a polyurethane or a compatible butyl, not the black tub cement that hardens and cracks over three Piedmont summers. Butyl stays flexible through a Piedmont temperature swing. Asphalt cement does not.
For a Cary business with an aging membrane the coating question is real economics. A restoration coat often runs a third of the cost of a tear-off and can be done across a weekend without disturbing a tenant. We core the roof and measure remaining thickness before recommending it, because coating over wet insulation buys nothing at all. If the core comes back wet, the insulation is replaced or the roof comes off.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — architectural laminate shingles rated to ASTM D3462, ASTM D7158 wind-class fastening patterns, self-adhered valley membrane meeting ASTM D1970, synthetic underlayment across the full field, step and counter-flashing let into a mortar joint, continuous ridge vent with an external baffle — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Cary and nearby communities including Apex, Morrisville, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof coatings & sealing
The difference between roof coatings & sealing that lasts and roof coatings & sealing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with architectural laminate shingles rated to ASTM D3462, ASTM D7158 wind-class fastening patterns, self-adhered valley membrane meeting ASTM D1970, synthetic underlayment across the full field, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Cary job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Research Triangle means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
