Step 1 of 4
Inspect Your Roof
We check shingles for curling, cracking, and granule loss, probe the deck for soft spots, and look at the underside of the roof from inside where we can.
- Shingle condition graded
- Deck probed for soft spots
- Flashing checked
Step 2 of 4
Replace Tabs and Reseal Flashing
Missing or torn shingles are replaced, lifted ones are sealed down, and flashing at walls, vents, and chimneys is refastened and resealed.
- Missing tabs replaced
- Flashing resealed
- Soft decking repaired
Step 3 of 4
Clean and Prime the Shingles
Loose granules, moss, and dirt come off with a gentle wash. The roof dries completely, and a primer suited to asphalt goes on where the coating maker calls for it.
- Gentle wash, no blasting
- Full dry-out
- Primer per product sheet
Step 4 of 4
Roll and Spray the Coating
Coating goes on in the number of layers the product requires, worked into the shingle edges, with extra coating at valleys and flashing.
- Layers to spec
- Edges and valleys covered
- Final walk with you

Shingle Coating Questions From Fremont Owners
What owners ask before deciding between coating and new shingles.
How long does asphalt roof coating last on a Fremont commercial building?
It depends on the shingles underneath. Coating over flat, well-attached shingles lasts longer than coating over curled or brittle ones. Sun, hail, and freeze-thaw cycles wear the surface, so we check coated shingle roofs after big storms and recoat worn areas.
What does shingle roof coating cost in Fremont?
It falls within our coating planning range of about $2.50 to $4.00 per square foot. Repairs first, such as replacing missing shingles and resealing flashing, move the price within that range, as do steep pitch, roof height, and the number of coats. Replacement-level work plans at about $5 to $8 per square foot.
Which Fremont commercial buildings are good candidates for shingle roof coating?
Offices, churches, daycare centers, and small retail strips with sloped asphalt shingle roofs. The best candidates have shingles that lie flat and keep most of their granules. We look at the deck from inside where we can and probe soft spots before recommending a coating.
Should a Fremont building coat its shingle roof or reshingle?
Coat when the shingles are aging but intact; reshingle when they curl, crack, or let water through. Coating keeps the shingles and adds a protective layer, while reshingling replaces the surface and opens the deck for repairs. A deck probe settles which way to go.
Can you coat shingles that have algae or moss on them?
Yes, after they are cleaned. Moss holds moisture against the shingles and keeps coating from bonding, so it comes off with a gentle wash and the roof dries fully before any primer or coating goes on. Pressure that strips granules is avoided.
