Raleigh Premium Roofing provides professional roof coatings & sealing in Raleigh, NC for residential and commercial properties across the eastern Piedmont. This is the page we argue against hardest, because coatings are the product most often sold to Raleigh homeowners who called about black streaks. A sprayed coating over asphalt shingles is not a roof repair. It does not restore a weathered shingle, and no shingle manufacturer intends it.
Two claims circulate here and both deserve scepticism. The first is that a coating seals and rejuvenates old shingles, extending the roof by ten years. The second is that a coating permanently prevents algae. Coating a steep-slope shingle roof interferes with how the assembly is designed to drain and dry, it can trap moisture in the mat, and on many products it voids whatever remains of the shingle warranty.
If somebody has offered you a shingle rejuvenation treatment after quoting a replacement, ask them to put the manufacturer's warranty position in writing, on the manufacturer's letterhead, before you sign anything at all. We have yet to see one of those letters actually arrive at a customer's house, and we have asked on behalf of several Raleigh homeowners over the years.
Coatings are genuinely good products in the places they belong. On a low-slope membrane that is watertight but ageing, a silicone or acrylic elastomeric system restores the surface, rebuilds reflectivity and buys real years at a fraction of a tear-off. On a metal roof, an appropriately primed coating over sound panels solves fastener seepage and seam weep across the whole field at once.
Preparation decides the outcome and it is where corners get cut, because nobody can see preparation once the coating is on. The surface has to be cleaned to sound substrate, rust converted or removed, seams and fasteners detailed with reinforcing fabric first, and the coating applied at the specified wet film thickness. A thin pass is indistinguishable on the day it goes on, then fails in its third year. We take wet film readings throughout.
Silicone holds up under ponding and stays flexible; it also stays slick when wet and attracts dirt, which costs some reflectance. Acrylic breathes and cleans up easily but should never sit in standing water. We pick on the roof's drainage rather than on whatever the supplier is pushing. The short version: if your roof is shingles and the complaint is appearance, no coating is your answer. A wash is.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — granule counts taken at the downspout outlet, fiberglass mat exposure on weathered tabs, thermal cracking across the tab rather than along it, sealant-strip bond tested by hand on aged courses, soft washing at low pressure with a sodium hypochlorite dilution, zinc ridge strip fitted while the cap is off — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Raleigh and nearby communities including Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Holly Springs.

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 granule counts taken at the downspout outlet, fiberglass mat exposure on weathered tabs, thermal cracking across the tab rather than along it, sealant-strip bond tested by hand on aged courses, 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 Raleigh 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 eastern Piedmont means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
