Silicone roof coating in Chester County, PA
This is home. We live here, our license hangs here, and the owner who quotes your roof drives past it on his way to other jobs.
Home/Service Area/Chester County
Every contractor with a website claims to serve Chester County. We're based in it. Smith Roof Coatings is a family sole proprietorship out of the West Chester area: Keith, Brian, and Jason Smith, one crew, PA HIC #PA214950. When you call about a flat roof here, you're not reaching a call center that routes leads to whoever bought the ZIP code. You're reaching the people who do the work.
What home turf gets you
It sounds like a small thing until you've lived through the other version. Here's what it means in practice:
- An owner quotes the job. Keith, our lead estimator, holds master credentials as both a painter and a roofer. The person walking your roof is the person pricing it and the person responsible for it.
- Short drives, straightforward scheduling. We're not promising you a start date from two hours away. If weather shifts, we can be on your roof the same morning to check it.
- The warranty has a local address behind it. Mule-Hide backs the material for 10, 15, or 20 years depending on mil thickness. We back the workmanship, and we're ten minutes up the road, not a franchise that changed hands.
Towns we cover in Chester County
We work the whole county. A few towns get their own pages because we're in them so often:
- West Chester, the county seat and our own backyard, with its mix of borough commercial blocks and flat-roof additions.
- Phoenixville, where converted industrial buildings and newer flat-roof construction sit side by side.
- Downingtown, with commercial and light-industrial stock along the Route 30 corridor.
We also regularly coat roofs in Coatesville, Exton, Kennett Square, Oxford, and Malvern, and everywhere between. If it's in the county and it's flat or low-slope, we'll come look at it.
The roofs we see around here
Chester County gives us a bit of everything: strip retail and office buildings along Route 202 and Route 30, warehouses and shops near the rail lines, farm outbuildings with old metal roofs, and plenty of homes with a flat porch or addition tucked behind a pitched main roof.
Most of what we coat here is aging EPDM rubber. It chalks, the seams open up, and somebody quotes a full tear-off at $10 to $18 per square foot. If the deck is sound, our EPDM roof restoration gets the same roof watertight for $3 to $7 per square foot: deep clean, seam reinforcement with polyester fabric embedded in silicone, then two coats of Mule-Hide 100% silicone with wet-mil readings logged for the warranty.
For larger buildings, our commercial roof coating work follows the same six steps, and the building stays open the whole time. Most jobs between 5,000 and 30,000 square feet finish in 3 to 7 working days.
Common questions from Chester County owners
Do you charge a trip fee for jobs in Chester County?
No. Chester County is home. The inspection is free, the written quote is free, and there is no travel built into the price. You are getting our shortest drive and our sharpest number.
Who actually shows up to look at my roof?
One of the three owners: Keith, Brian, or Jason Smith. Keith, our lead estimator, is a master painter and master roofer with 25+ years in the trades. There is no salesperson between you and the crew.
Do you coat flat roofs on houses in Chester County, or just commercial buildings?
Both. Porch roofs, additions, dormers, and full flat-roof homes are regular work for us here, alongside commercial and industrial buildings. Pitched shingle roofs are the one thing we refer out.
