How Much Does It Cost to Coat a Roof Yourself?
In theory, you could cut the price of your project in half if you just paid for materials and took care of the labor. Most roofing professionals charge about the same amount per square foot for materials, then again for application.
However, hiring a professional is well worth the cost (and highly advised) when it comes to a roof coating. Their knowledge and risk assessment skills ensure your roof stays protected and no one gets injured in the process.
Licensed and insured roofing companies also protect you as the homeowner in the event that someone is injured on your property. Take note of warning signs your roof needs replacement to mitigate repairs needed in the future, like curling shingles and saggy spots.
Liquid-rubber roof coating cost
Liquid-rubber roof coating costs $1.80 to $2.90 per square foot installed. This thick coating works on many roof materials and often requires only one coat. Liquid-rubber types include EPDM and elastomeric-coating blends.
- Extends the roof life by 10 to 20 years
- Strong UV resistance
- Often used for instant leak repairs
- Needs outside temperatures above 55°F to cure.
Roof Coating per Square Foot Cost Breakdown
Materials
Roof coating materials range from $0.25 to $2.70 per square foot. Acrylic coating is the most affordable (even the best kinds cost under a dollar per square foot). Liquid rubber and high-end polyurea (which requires two coats) will cost in the $2.5 to $2.90 range per square foot.
Applications
Local roof sealing professionals typically charge between $70 and $90 per hour when installing or repairing a roof. However, the real cost of a new roof may vary.Installation costs range between $0.35 and $3.70 per square foot. Polyurea is the most expensive ($3 to $4 per square foot) because it requires two coats.
Other Considerations
The size, shape, and material your roof is made could increase roof coating costs. Each roof is different, which is why roof coating professionals don't typically offer a flat-rate.
