Roof coating in Bucks County, PA
Bucks County roofs come in two generations: old industrial buildings in the river towns and newer commercial stock further out. We coat both, with different systems.
Home/Service Area/Bucks County
Bucks County is really two counties when you look at it from a roof. Along the Delaware, the older industrial and mill buildings carry roofs that have been recovered and patched for generations: modified bitumen, built-up roofing, old metal. Away from the river, the commercial parks, retail pads, and warehouses built in the last few decades mostly wear single-ply membranes, EPDM and TPO, now reaching the age where seams give out.
Different roofs, same question: does this need to come off, or can it be restored? Here's how we answer it on each type.
The older stock: mod-bit, BUR, and metal
On the older buildings around Levittown, Bensalem, and the river towns, the substrate is usually asphalt-based or metal. If the deck is sound, our modified bitumen restoration brings it back two ways: a reflective aluminum coating for roofs that are dried out but structurally fine, or the full Mule-Hide 100% silicone system where seams and flashings have started letting water in. Gravel BUR gets the loose gravel removed first. Old metal roofs get seams and fastener heads detailed, then coated.
The newer stock: EPDM and TPO
The commercial buildings that went up around Doylestown, Newtown, and Quakertown in the 1990s and 2000s mostly got EPDM or TPO membranes with 20-year expectations. Right on schedule, those roofs are chalking, shrinking at the seams, and showing up in our inbox. An EPDM roof restoration keeps the membrane in place: power wash, repairs, polyester fabric reinforcement embedded in silicone at every seam and penetration, then two coats of 100% silicone applied to manufacturer mil spec with wet-mil readings logged.
What either path costs
Restoration typically runs $3 to $7 per square foot; replacement in this market runs $10 to $18. Most jobs land between $5,000 and $40,000, quoted fixed and in writing after a free on-site inspection by one of the owners. Most 5,000 to 30,000 square foot roofs take 3 to 7 working days, and the building stays open throughout. The finished silicone surface stands up to ponding water, which matters on the dead-flat decks common in older industrial buildings.
Where we go in Bucks County
Doylestown, Levittown, Bensalem, Quakertown, Newtown, and the townships around them. Bucks is the far corner of our footprint from West Chester, but the turnpike and I-95 make it a routine run, and the price doesn't change with the mileage. The full service area covers all ten counties we work.
Bucks County questions
Can an old industrial roof in Bucks County really be coated instead of replaced?
Often, yes. What decides it is the deck, not the calendar. If the structure is dry and sound and the membrane is not saturated, a coating restores the waterproofing for a fraction of replacement cost. If the deck has failed, no contractor should coat over a roof like that, and we will not. That is exactly what the free assessment is for.
Do you cover both Upper and Lower Bucks County?
Yes, the whole county, from Quakertown down to Bensalem. We are based in Chester County and route Bucks jobs along the turnpike and I-95, so distance does not change the price. The quote is fixed and in writing either way.
