Expert Protective Roof Coatings in Baton Rouge, LA
For property owners in Baton Rouge, Gonzales, Prairieville, and Sorrento, your roof is your first line of defense against Louisiana’s unpredictable weather. While many assume that a failing or aging roof requires a total (and expensive) replacement, there is a smarter, more efficient solution.
At B&H Construction, we specialize in Protective Roof Coatings that seal, strengthen, and revitalize your existing roof for a fraction of the cost of a new installation. We leverage over 20 years of experience and three generations of contracting expertise to offer you a smarter alternative to costly replacements.
Why Choose Protective Coatings?
A protective roof coating is far more than a simple aesthetic upgrade. It is a high-performance, liquid-applied membrane that bonds to your existing roof surface, creating a monolithic shield designed to withstand the humidity, UV intensity, and heavy rainfall unique to the Gulf South.
Unmatched Longevity and Roof Preservation
The primary advantage of a professional roof coating is its ability to significantly extend the functional life of your current roofing system. By applying a durable, weather-resistant layer, we can add 10 to 20 years of service life to your roof. This proactive approach allows you to bypass the massive expense and logistical headaches of a full roof tear-off. For commercial property owners, this means avoiding operational downtime while securing the long-term integrity of the building’s structure.
Superior Energy Efficiency and "Cool Roof" Benefits
Louisiana summers are notoriously brutal, and a traditional dark roof can absorb a staggering amount of heat, driving up indoor temperatures and utility bills. Our high-reflectivity coatings, often referred to as "Cool Roofs," reflect a vast majority of solar radiation away from your building. This thermal protection reduces the strain on your HVAC systems and can lead to substantial savings on monthly energy costs. The system essentially pays for itself through improved thermal performance.
Seamless Waterproofing and Leak Prevention
Traditional roofing systems often fail at the seams, fasteners, and penetrations. Our protective coatings eliminate these vulnerabilities by creating a completely seamless, "monolithic" surface. Whether you are dealing with ponding water on a flat roof or minor leaks on a sloped surface, our coating systems seal existing breaches and prevent new ones from forming. This watertight integrity is essential for protecting your interior assets, preventing mold growth, and maintaining a healthy indoor environment.
Cost-Effective and Sustainable Alternative
Replacing a roof is a major capital expenditure that involves high labor costs and significant landfill waste. In contrast, roof restoration via protective coatings is a highly cost-effective solution, often costing half the price of a full replacement. Furthermore, because the existing roof stays in place, there is no debris sent to the landfill, making this one of the most environmentally friendly choices a property owner can make.
Rust and Corrosion Mitigation
In our humid climate, oxidation is a constant threat to metal components. Our specialized coating formulations include rust-inhibitive properties that stop existing corrosion in its tracks and prevent future rust from forming. This chemical bond ensures that the underlying substrate remains strong and structurally sound for decades to come.
Versatile Solutions for Every Roof Type
B&H Construction utilizes industry-leading materials tailored to your specific roofing substrate. Our most popular protective systems include:
Silicone Coatings
The gold standard for flat roofs or areas prone to "ponding water." Silicone is moisture-cure and will not degrade under standing water.
Elastomeric & Acrylic Coatings
Highly flexible and breathable solutions that expand and contract with the temperature, perfect for preventing cracks and maintaining a bright, reflective finish.
Rust-Inhibitive Coatings
Specifically engineered for metal surfaces to stop oxidation in its tracks and prevent structural decay.
Our Meticulous Coating Process
To ensure a lifetime of performance, we follow a rigorous, multi-step application process:
- 1. Comprehensive Professional Inspection: We evaluate the structural integrity of your roof to ensure it is a candidate for coating, identifying any areas requiring localized repair.
- 2. Precision Cleaning: Adhesion is key. We utilize high-pressure washing to remove dirt, oxidation, mold, oils, and contaminants, creating a pristine surface for the coating to bond to.
- 3. Detailing and Sealing: We treat every "weak point," including seams, vents, and fasteners, with specialized flashing-grade sealants to ensure a 100% watertight foundation.
- 4. Premium Application: Our technicians apply the coating system (Silicone, Acrylic, or Elastomeric) to the exact mil-thickness required by the manufacturer using professional-grade equipment.
- 5. Final Quality Audit: We perform a final walkthrough of every inch of your new roof coating to ensure the finish is seamless, uniform, and ready to protect your investment.
