That is the same leak-free performance at a dramatically lower cost, with no landfill waste from torn-off roofing materials.

The TekTop Silicone Coating Process
Every commercial roof coating project starts with a thorough inspection and ends with a documented, warranted system. Our installation process is designed to maximize adhesion, waterproofing performance, and longevity on coastal North Carolina's commercial and industrial rooftops.
- 1
Free Roof Inspection and Assessment
Our technicians inspect your existing roof for structural integrity, ponding areas, failed seams, rust, and penetrations. We document all conditions and provide a written proposal.
- 2
Surface Preparation
We pressure wash the entire roof surface, remove debris, treat rust on metal roofs, and mechanically repair any compromised areas. Proper prep is the most critical step for long-term adhesion.
- 3
Primer Application
TekTop Single Ply Primer or Bituminous Primer is applied to ensure the silicone coating bonds securely to TPO, EPDM, metal, or BUR surfaces.
- 4
Silicone Flashing and Detailing
TekTop Silicone Liquid Flashing and mastic are applied to all seams, pitch pockets, penetrations, drains, fasteners, and transitions before the field coat goes down.
- 5
TekTop Silicone Coating Application
The field coat of TekTop 100% silicone is spray-applied at the correct mil thickness to form a continuous, seamless, waterproof membrane across the entire roof surface.
- 6
Final Inspection and Documentation
We conduct a final walkthrough, photograph all completed work, and provide warranty documentation for your records.

TekTop Product Line
TekTop 100% Silicone Roof Coating
Solvent-free, moisture-curing silicone that permanently restores existing commercial roofs against leaks, ponding water, and UV degradation. Applied in a single spray coat at the correct mil thickness. Does not chalk, crack, or absorb water over time.
TekTop Silicone HB (High Build)
Designed for steeper-sloped and vertical surfaces where standard coating would run or sag before curing. Superior ponding water resistance and superior adhesion on difficult substrates. Ideal for parapet walls, curbs, and HVAC curb flashings.
TekTop Primers and Liquid Flashing
TekTop Single Ply Primer, Bituminous Primer, and Silicone Liquid Flashing ensure complete system integrity at every seam, penetration, fastener head, and drain. These components are what separate a proper restoration system from a quick-fix coating job.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does commercial roof coating cost in Wilmington NC?
Ascend Coatings typically installs TekTop silicone roof coating systems for around $5 per square foot for most commercial roofs in the Wilmington area, New Hanover County, and coastal North Carolina. This compares to $20 or more per square foot for a full roof tear-off and replacement. Most commercial building owners see return on investment within the first few years through energy savings alone.
What types of commercial roofs can be coated?
TekTop silicone systems are compatible with virtually every commercial roof type: metal roofing, TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin), EPDM (rubber roofing), BUR (built-up roofing), modified bitumen, spray foam roofs, and more. Our certified technicians assess your roof condition and recommend the right system before any work begins.
Is silicone roof coating as good as a new roof?
For most commercial roofs in good structural condition, a silicone restoration system provides equivalent or superior waterproofing performance compared to a new membrane at a fraction of the cost. TekTop silicone coatings resist ponding water indefinitely, unlike many single-ply membranes that deteriorate with standing water over time.
How long does commercial roof coating last?
TekTop silicone roof coatings are designed to last 10 to 20+ years depending on climate conditions, roof type, and maintenance. Coastal North Carolina's hot, humid summers and frequent rain — plus salt air exposure — make silicone an ideal choice because it remains flexible and does not crack, chalk, or absorb water like acrylic alternatives.
Do you serve all of coastal North Carolina?
Yes. Ascend Coatings serves commercial roofing clients throughout Wilmington and coastal North Carolina including New Hanover County, Brunswick County, Pender County, Onslow County, Columbus County, Bladen County, and Duplin County. Contact us for a free roof inspection and estimate.
Will roof coating save money on energy bills?
Yes. TekTop silicone coatings are highly UV-reflective, meaning they reflect solar radiation rather than absorbing it. Commercial buildings in the Southeast often see a reduction in cooling costs of 15 to 30 percent after a white silicone roof coating is applied. The energy savings help offset the installation cost quickly.
