Flat roof coating in Lebanon County, PA

A plain offer for a plain-dealing county: we restore farm and industrial flat roofs with silicone for a fraction of replacement cost, and we tell you the truth when we can't.

Home/Service Area/Lebanon County

Lebanon County is not a big market and we are not going to pretend otherwise. It is one county, one main corridor along US-422, and a building stock that leans heavily toward farms, feed and food operations, and the industrial buildings clustered around Lebanon city. That suits us fine. Small county, small company, straightforward work.

Here is the whole pitch. If your flat or low-slope roof is aging but structurally sound, we can clean it, repair it, reinforce every seam with polyester fabric set in silicone, and put down two coats of Mule-Hide 100% silicone. It typically costs $3 to $7 per square foot instead of $10 to $18 for a tear-off, it carries a 10, 15, or 20 year manufacturer warranty, and your building never opens up to the weather. That is the entire product. We do not sell anything else.

What we coat here

  • Farm and agricultural buildings. Low-slope metal shops and sheds with rusting fasteners, and the flat roofs on packing, feed, and storage buildings.
  • Industrial and warehouse roofs. The EPDM, TPO, and modified bitumen roofs on the manufacturing and distribution buildings along the US-422 corridor. An aged rubber roof is the classic case; see our EPDM roof restoration page for how that goes.
  • Commercial flat roofs in the boroughs. Storefronts, garages, and mixed-use buildings in Lebanon, Annville, Palmyra, and Myerstown.

Flat and low-slope only. Pitched shingle roofs are not our trade, and if that is what you have we will point you to a roofer who does them.

What we don't do

We do not coat roofs that need to come off. A coating over a saturated membrane or a rotted deck is wasted money, yours and ours, because the callback lands on the same phone that quoted the job. When Keith walks a roof in Palmyra and finds soft insulation underfoot, the answer is a referral to a roofer, not a proposal. That policy costs us jobs every year and it is still the right policy.

We also do not send salespeople. The free inspection is done by an owner, the quote is a fixed written number, and there are no change orders unless you change the scope.

Leaks first, coating second

Most Lebanon County calls start with a leak, not a coating. That order of operations is correct. The leak gets found and fixed as part of the prep work: open seams, split flashings, failed pipe boots, whatever it is. If you just need the leak handled and the roof is not ready for a full system yet, our flat roof repair service covers that on its own. When the roof is ready, the repair work rolls straight into the coating prep instead of being torn back out.

Annville, Palmyra, Myerstown, and everywhere between

We cover the whole county from our base in Chester County, an easy run up the Turnpike and US-422. Lebanon city has its own page with more detail on the borough building stock: see roof coating in Lebanon, PA. Lebanon County sits in the middle of our regular routes to Lancaster, Berks, and Schuylkill counties, so we are nearby more weeks than not; the full service area map shows the whole footprint.

Straight answers to Lebanon County questions

Is Lebanon County too far for you to bother with a small job?

No. We run US-422 and the Turnpike regularly and a day or two of driving does not change our pricing structure. Most of our work falls between $5,000 and $40,000, and plenty of Lebanon County buildings fit inside that range. If a job is genuinely too small to quote fairly with travel included, we will tell you that on the phone instead of padding the number.

My roof ponds water after every storm. Can you still coat it?

Usually, yes. Unlike acrylic or asphalt-based products, 100% silicone stands up to ponding water without breaking down, so periodic ponding water on a dead-flat roof does not rule out a coating. What does rule it out is moisture trapped underneath the membrane. During the free inspection we check for saturation, and any wet area gets cut out and dried before coating, or we tell you the roof is not a candidate.

Who actually shows up to do the work?

The same people who quoted it. Smith Roof Coatings is Keith, Brian, and Jason Smith, brothers and cousins working as one crew. There is no sales staff and no subcontracted coating crew. The owner who walked your roof in Annville or Myerstown is on the roof when the silicone goes down.
