Most roof coatings are best applied by professional contractors who have specialized training and experience in this type of work. The reason for this is that a properly applied roof coating can add years to the life of your roof, and it's important to ensure that the coating is applied in a way that will provide maximum protection and durability. In some cases, it may be possible to apply a roof coating yourself if you're familiar with the proper procedures and safety measures. However, it's always best to consult with a professional contractor before making any decisions about your roofing system. Thanks for asking!

Most roof coatings are acrylic latex and will not adhere well to asphalt shingles. If an acrylic latex coating is applied, it is likely to peel off within a few years. A silicone roof coating may be a better option, but it is still best to consult with a professional before applying any type of coating to an asphalt shingle roof.
