Roof Heat Reflective Coating in Providence, RI

When summer temperatures soar in Providence, your roof absorbs the full intensity of solar radiation, causing indoor temperatures to rise and cooling expenses to escalate dramatically. At Providence Roofing Company, we've pioneered an innovative solution that significantly reduces heat absorption while simultaneously extending your roof's functional lifespan. Our advanced roof heat reflective roof coatings can decrease your roof's surface temperature by an impressive 50 degrees Fahrenheit, potentially slashing cooling costs by 15-30% during peak summer months.

These specialized high-performance coatings establish a sophisticated reflective barrier that redirects solar radiation away from your home rather than allowing heat energy absorption into your living spaces. We exclusively utilize premium-grade products engineered to bond flawlessly with diverse roofing substrates including asphalt shingles, standing-seam metal, EPDM, TPO, and concrete tiles. Our professional application process causes minimal disruption to your daily routine while delivering immediate thermal benefits upon completion.

Beyond the considerable energy savings, our roof heat reflective coatings provide enhanced protection against destructive ultraviolet radiation, effectively preventing premature aging, material degradation, and structural deterioration. This comprehensive protection translates to significantly fewer repairs and substantially extended longevity for your existing roof system—a forward-thinking investment that yields ongoing dividends in improved comfort, reduced environmental impact, and long-term cost efficiency throughout New England's increasingly warm summers.

Benefits of Choosing Heat Reflective Coating

Roof heat reflective coatings offer significant advantages for property owners looking to improve their building's performance and longevity.

Energy Efficiency 

Heat reflective coatings can reduce roof surface temperatures by up to 50-60°F during peak summer conditions. This dramatic temperature reduction minimizes heat transfer into the building, resulting in less work for your cooling system.

The energy savings are substantial – most property owners report a 15-25% reduction in cooling costs after application. These savings add up quickly, especially in warmer climates where air conditioning runs for extended periods.



We've observed that buildings with reflective roof coatings often qualify for energy efficiency rebates and incentives from utility companies and government programs. The Department of Energy recognizes these coatings as effective energy-saving solutions.

Extended Roof Lifespan

Heat reflective coatings form a protective barrier that shields your roof from UV damage, one of the primary causes of roofing material deterioration. This protection prevents premature aging and brittleness in roofing membranes.



Temperature fluctuations cause expansion and contraction that stress roofing materials. By reducing these temperature swings, reflective coatings minimize thermal shock and the resulting structural strain.

We've documented numerous cases where these coatings extended roof life by 5-10 years beyond manufacturer specifications. This significant extension translates to delayed replacement costs and better long-term value.

Improved Indoor Comfort

Buildings with reflective roof coatings maintain more consistent indoor temperatures throughout the day. This stability eliminates uncomfortable hot spots near ceilings or upper floors that are common in buildings with dark roofs.



Workplace productivity benefits are measurable. Studies show that maintaining comfortable temperatures improves worker performance by up to 10%, while reducing heat-related discomfort complaints.

We've found that reflective coatings help reduce HVAC system strain, resulting in less frequent cycling and quieter operation. This operational improvement means fewer distracting noise fluctuations in work or living environments.

Our Application Process

Our heat reflective roof coating installation follows a systematic process designed to ensure maximum performance and longevity. 

Initial Roof Assessment

We begin every project with a comprehensive roof inspection to determine the current condition of your roof surface. Our trained technicians evaluate the structural integrity, identify existing damage, and measure moisture content to ensure the roof is suitable for coating application.

This assessment helps us identify any repairs needed before coating can be applied. We look for cracks, leaks, poor drainage areas, and deteriorated flashing that might compromise the coating's effectiveness.

The assessment also determines the specific amount of coating needed for your roof size and condition. We consider factors like roof pitch, material type, and local climate conditions when formulating our application plan.

Surface Preparation

Proper surface preparation is critical for coating adhesion and longevity. We begin by thoroughly cleaning the entire roof surface using pressure washers to remove dirt, debris, and loose materials.



Any existing mold, algae, or biological growth is treated with specialized cleaning solutions. This step is crucial as contaminants can prevent proper adhesion and reduce the coating's reflective properties.

The roof surface must be completely dry before we proceed. Our team verifies moisture levels using professional testing equipment to ensure optimal conditions for application.

Coating Application

We apply our heat reflective coating using specialized equipment that ensures consistent thickness and complete coverage. The application typically requires 2-3 coats, with each layer applied perpendicular to the previous one.

Our technicians carefully monitor weather conditions before and during application. Ideal conditions include:

• Temperatures between 50-90°F
• Low humidity levels
• No precipitation forecast for 24-48 hours
• Minimal wind

Each coat is allowed to dry completely according to manufacturer specifications before the next is applied. This patience ensures proper curing and maximizes the coating's protective qualities.

Final Inspection 

Once application is complete, our quality control team conducts a thorough inspection to verify complete coverage and proper adhesion. We examine all detailed areas and measure the final dry film thickness at multiple points.



To maximize the lifespan of your heat reflective coating, we recommend scheduling annual inspections. Regular maintenance should include clearing debris, checking drainage systems, and promptly addressing any damage.
